Assetto Corsa

[Deetz]

Anyone tried the Assetto Corsa Beta?

A little pricey £29.99 for a beta, but that gets you the full game when it arrives, so not so bad.

I have to say its excellent, some cars fell better than others and still a few little bugs around, but when its working well, I haven't felt better physics.

A pitty there is no online racing available yet.

Personal favourite at the Moment is the BMW M3 E90 round Imola, fantastic. Not the quickest car, but it shows the physics off really well.
Current best of a 2:19:293 with more to come.

Let me know what you think

As you can see from the Assetto Corsa News thread in the Netkar forum, At least Seany and me have got it.
(Maybe som Admin can rename the Netkar forum to Assetto Corsa?)

I also think this is sim has the best feel available. I cant wait until we get multiplayer…
The only thing I am afraid of is Kunos's trackrecord of letting me (and others) down.
As it is now, I'm positive optimist, I hope he pulls it off.

[Deetz]

Lol, I didnt even think of looking in the NetKar section, should have done I suppose, both being Kunos titles.

I thought some of the guys would have this, as I remember it being chatted about the last time I was on LFS.

Yes, still a bit buggy, but it still a beta. Hopefully we wont have the gaping holes in development that occurred with NetKar Pro, but so far generally I'm impressed.

Kunos Sims always have excellent force feedback, and this is no exception, I love the physics and feel of the suspension travel, weight transfer, grip loss as a wheel pops into the air etc. :norty:

[Seany]

Yeah that M3 E90 is a lot of fun. When I tried it around Magione, it was the first time in a sim where I have felt the urge to get the tail out and do some drifting ( err I mean Power Sliding ).  It just feels so good, the weight transfer and the loss of grip.

I recommend try out the KTM X-bow at Imola, this is a lot of fun. My best time is a 2:09:3, slow, but some thing to aim for

Can't wait to race these cars with you guys online!

[Deetz]

Of course, when I say said E90 , I obviously really meant E30.

:blink:

The X-now, well its quick, but I'm not so keen on the super short power band. Personal preference I suppose.
Imola X-Bow PB = 2:02:964

Come on Seany, I'm sure you can crack that.

Yes indeed, I cant wait to race you guys online.
Unfortunately I can only manage a few laps a time, before my Arthritic joints want to explode, but I'm sure it will be worth the effort.

All the best Deetz.

Ahh I thought you meant the modern E92 M3, that thing makes you drive like a hooligan (power slides) .

I like E30 M3 too. I think it is one of the best looking saloon cars of the 80s, I'm looking forward to the Touring car version of this!

2:02 - only 6 seconds off your pace Deetz, that sounds about right .. I'll do some more laps and see what I can do!

I did a 1:59:4 earlier tonight. And even that isn't fast.

[Deetz]

Lol, succinct and to the point. :narnar:

 

 Not that I'm a huge fan of the X-Bow, but that combo looks like being the unofficial offline combo of the.... week.
 

 Who can better Voblers 1:59.4, the gauntlet has been thrown down... :boxing:

[Blindfury46]

Hi Deetz good to see you
1:59.4 + gauntlet = hmm

[RLR Luchian]

Hi guys, can I join the party ?

And on the subject, that M3 E92 is the best I've ever felt in a sim. And this (blasphemy ?) includes LFS..

Your wish has been granted by smilodon

I've also moved this thread there, or here as it is now.

Succint and Gauntlet? Don't you know that some people here only knows school english? Anyway; thank good for google.
1:59.1 as of this afternoon.

[Deetz]

LOL,  as for 'being easy', the best I've been able to manage is a 1.59.8
mutter mutter.

Ok, the X-Bow is growing on me, with so many gear changes though, I keep banging into the gate (4th gear on a G25 shifter, Grr)

Still I'm having fun, Vobler just had to rub it in going even faster, :ranting2:  (nice one mate) I think I could maybe match it on a perfect lap, but I haven't managed one yet. Still, it gives me a nice target to aim for, even if the target just moved further away..

As for the E92, yep its a blast, I'm always swearing at it though, when the weight transfer catches me out, (yet again) you can really feel the weight in the car, as well as enjoying the power.....excellent stuff.

Cheers Ben for waving your admin wand in the right direction.

Luchian, there is nothing to join, I just thought I'd try to re-kindle the racing juices with this very promising game, if you can beat Vobler's time, post it up and we can have a bash at beating it.:narnar:

:D

Just found this one...

I just wanted to say a little bit about how to sqeeze out a few more fps from Assetto Corsa.

There is a bug in the Anisotropic Filtering. It eats frames per second....
By going from 16 to 4 AF I went from 80 to 120 fps on my GTX770, and tripples. Going even lower is possible if need be.

Two more things,
in the dx11.ini (same as I posted to Bob) there is a MIPMAP setting. Setting this to 0 gains a few fps too.
While you are there change the Frame latency setting from 0 (default) to 1. This minimized lag.

Hope this helps someone.
