Assetto Corsa news

I'll have a go of that combo later. Best I could do in the KTM around Imola was a 2:06.3. I did do a 2:05.3 in the E30 M3 though.

Do both of you (Deetz and Vob) know these tracks already? They are all brand new for me, so that's my excuse as to why I'm so far off the pace lol. I had never driven Imola/Silverstone Nat/Valeguna(SP?) before. I'd love some Australian or British (touring car) tracks. I'm getting to know them slowly but surely though.

I'm liking the new cars and the track is good too. That Zonda is seriously quick!

How are you guys finding the Extreme/over the top brightness or contrast in cars with windscreens? This is the one thing that is bothering me quit a lot. You can use Page Up/Down to increase and decrease the Bloom effect, but this just make everything too dull. It looks great if we are supposed to be looking out the windscreen with a TV camera (it looks really like TV footage), but not if we are supposed to be using (simulating) a human eye. It's spoiling the nice visuals for me a bit.

New pb guys 2:15.264 (yes I have replay)

Yes Seany, I have driven those tracks before. Vallelunga in Race 07 I think it was. Imola, in various sims. Current Silverstone in Rfactor 2. Mugello in NetKar if I remember correctly. Magione I havent tried until the AC TP.

Nice one Vobler, something to aim for. I just need a lap without a silly mistake somewhere.

Seany, Imola I hadn't raced in ages, I used to race it in rFactor Touring Car Legends. (Escort was my favorite), but Mugello I know pretty well from NetKar Pro.

mutter mutter, cant let Vober be quickest two weeks in a row. :taz:

I got it!

There are a few faults that take away the immersion for me, but it's early days yet and I'm looking forward to what this can become.

The tracks are new to me too, so learning them makes it interesting, nowhere near your lap times yet.

Bought it on Steam last night and downloaded. Totally peed off to discover that it wont run, as I need I need a DirectX 10.1 graphics card which I didnt need to run the demo a few months ago. Arrgh!

This might help. Copyed from support forum

As reported in the "minimum requirements" FAQ, Assetto Corsa doesn't support DirectX 10.0 cards and will never do, due to technical factors. If you want to play with an old dx10.0 card, you need to edit a file by yourself.
Go in "(steam installation folder)\SteamApps\common\assettocorsa\system\cfg"
Open "dx11.ini"
Change this line:
ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_DX10=0 ; UNSUPPORTED USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
becomes:
ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_DX10=1 ; UNSUPPORTED USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

Save the file and launch the game. Now the game should start but you may encounter artifacts and strange errors. Use at your own risk.

Thanks for that Vobler. :worshippy:

I've also discovered that Nvidia did a firmware upgrade so I'm trying to locate that as well, but if needs must, a card upgrade as
an early Xmas present seems like a plan.:w00t2:

More comebacks than Frank Sinatra, if I hear you saying you're putting your wheel in the loft again, I'll come over there and glue it to the table :narnar:

Lameduck · November 25, 2013, 04:15:47 PM

I have never put my wheel away in the loft, I hide it in the wardrobe so the wife and doc dont see 'em and sneak it out when she's away spending me brass,:boxing:

Hehe. Like it :thumb:

LameDuck, new hardware is always welcome for Christmas.

Pitty I cant order a new skeleton. (missing the arthritus) or a new pancreas. That would be fantastic.

Yea, Assetto Corsa is by no means perfect, the upgrade seems to have removed a few bugs, but some remain, and some cars feel better than others.

I've done a little shaving off Vobers time, and had another even better one on the go till I put in the kitty litter in the last corner. Doh.

2:15.212

(I wonder how many days until Vober puts that one to bed?)

This works like a charm, and as far as I can see, there are no downsides. Thanks again Verner.

Tried the E92 around Mugello tonight and although I'm slow (twas always thus) @ 2:27:632 I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I'll see if I get the time to try. Not sure I can do it.
