Quote from: Lameduck;378683New graphics card fitted today, and found the install totally painless. Very surprised to see how much smaller it was than the 9800GT I replaced. Did not require a separate power feed and runs very quietly.
It delivered Assetto Corsa fantastically well. Can now run DirectX11 ( after remembering to change the mod that Vobler suggested back to original settings :doh:) and AC is totally different.
I need to experiment with AA and shadow settings to suit my ancient eyes but otherwise v.pleased with the card.:woot2:

Now to attack those lap times :racing:

Nice! :thumbsup:

Did anyone see they are asking people to vote on what cars/brand you would like to see in AC next year? I picked RUF (I think some Porches would make a nice addition). What did you guys choose?

I woted Aston Martin, but I would rather have Multiplayer any time....

Loving the new update. That F40 is a lot of fun (pop up head lights, yeah!). A grid full of those is going to be quite some thing

. Drag racing etc is very nice too. Anyone else see the dirt/dust build up on the cars now. This just gets better and better.

Did you see that some guy mucked about with the files to get some race AI working? Here is a vid:

I'm impressed. The AI (even in this WIP stage) look pretty convincing. See the way it makes a mistake and drops a wheel into the dirt and has to do some corrections to regain control.

Now we have the F40 I think I would like to see that JPS Formula 1 car and Spa, ( and multiplayer, obviously

)

Well I loaded the tech demo and ran the lotus for apx 35 minutes, seems the frame rates won't get better than 42 with my gt220 (up it's old) on the plus side it's not causing any undue heat issues. It feels great to drive but a few video glitches are a pain. Those hydro lines @ Mag look like a flock of birds from the distance.

I've asked Santa for AC and failing that I'll buy it for myself. Can't wait to get my hands on the F40 and the little Fiat.

p.s. don't care to much for the control panel in AC, they could have done that better but it may be restricted in demo. Was a pain to figure out how to get the auto shift and auto clutch to shut off.

I know its not the finished article but I would enjoy having a temp manual to indicate which keys do what and the icons used are not exactly clear on their functions.
It is a great sim however and look forward to the multiplayer.

I bought this too.

The track and car selection is disappointing still (for me). I'm mostly interested in the '80-90s M3s and the little Lotuses. I would love to see some more 60s tracks and cars...and pre war stuff (30s cars+tracks). Graphics are good, but the menus and settings are somewhat messy to follow. I don't know how realistic the physics are, but I noticed the rwd cars i tried were remarkably under steering (default settings). Although once you managed to get the rear end slide the "kick in" fb effect is really nice when the traction returned.

Bought this this weekend when I got a G27. Must say it's the most realistic sim I've played to date.

Only thing missing is the Supra MKIV and it would be the best ever

Maybe even a Lexus LFA and Honda HSV-10 just for the sound!

I heard a rumor that it is Â£10 off on Steam this weekend.

Aquilifer · March 07, 2014, 05:17:29 PM

Yup, -33% discount. Confirmed.

Hey, you should grab an LFS License too, if you have a G27 now. LFS will allow you to get maximum use from your new wheel. Still some great racing to be had with this game online too. There are a few of us racing on LFS most nights.
