Assetto corsa coming to PS4 and Xbox one

[graveltrap]

Regarding lap timing, it has been found that the replays are sped up, so if you time a replay with a stop watch a shorter period of time is recorded.

on PS4 this is actually easy to see, run a lap and capture with the share button, watch back the replay and capture with the share button.

Use the trim tool in the capture gallery to use roughly he same start and finish point, the replay will always be faster. Using the Nordschleife really highlights the problem.

Timing gameplay footage, shows the in game clock to be correct or was when I last did the test (V1.11).

Example.

I just did a couple laps in practice session in race weekend on the Nords with the Maserati F1 V6 and V12. I could have drove all night with them, but i gotta go to bed. Just amazing fun.

That makes two of us.

Tried the new packs today for the first time. Started with the 250F 6 cylinders, moved on to the 12 cylinders... and didn't try anything else.

Had to force myself to stop, otherwise I won't even sleep 4 hours.



It's times like these when you forgive @Lord Kunos and the boys for all their silly decisions sometimes.

I actually stopped my Times myself and its true. The replays are to blame. But that still doesnt explain how we are 6-7 secs on RBR slower compared to real world lap times while the replay times are closer to the real World.

Something needs to be fixed either Way but good Observation.

Update on G29 ‘issues’…

Miserable weather here, so spent most of the weekend playing AC (probably 16 hours total), mainly running the hotlap events.

FF levels with the G29 are variable to say the least. Some cars have very heavy steering with loads of FF (eg; 918), some have heavy steering with virtually no FF (eg; latest M3), some have heavy steering with perfect FF (eg; X Bow), some have light steering with little FF (eg; 917/30), and some are in the middle, with perfect weight and FF (eg; Escort, M3 Group A).

I guess this is much like real cars… but cars I would expect to have heavy steering don’t necessarily (the older ones, with no power steering, on slicks).

With the right car/track/FF combination, the game feels unbelievably good – the M3 Group A at Silverstone is particularly memorable. But some others feel terrible – the 917/30 at old Silverstone, for example, just feels completely disconnected from the road surface.

After trying most of the hotlap events, the difficulty level is also variable – some are golded after a few tries (Escort at Brands only took 2 laps), a couple I haven’t even bronzed yet. I have no idea, for example, how you gold the new M3 at Nurburgring GP. I’m not over driving the car, but I’m still a couple of seconds off gold on a track I know well.

But when you find a combo that matches your skill level, in a car you enjoy driving… well, it’s just awesome.

I also tried one of the quick races – the Fiat 500. AI is a bit quick in Alien mode. Best I managed was 3rd. Going to have to up my game

Sounds are also for the most part fabulous – again, the M3 Group A… the whine of the straight cut box over the engine… reminds me of watching these cars on TV back in the day. And the coarse growl turning in to a scream of the BDA 4 pot in the Escort... lovely.

One thing that does irritate me though – brake release oversteer! This was one of my bug bears in GT physics, and it’s there in AC. And it seems deliberately so given it’s mentioned how to prevent it in one of the settings explanations. IME, this is just not accurately modelling weight transfer effects correctly – a car should not oversteer when releasing the brakes whilst trail braking. It might understeer as weight is removed from the front tyres, but should not oversteer.

Make it three. So much fun to drive these two around several circuits.
It was already late or better said early in the morning. My daughter, who tried to sleep a room next to our game room, already asked me to put on a headset...then my wife came in and asked me if I was nuts. Uuuh yes I am What I could not hear is the squeekie sound the Playseat springs make when I have to lean in a curve. She could apperently . Now she demanded me to fix the seat or buy another one. Thuh...love my wife!!

Well ive played game more over the weekend,and ive got to say the feeling of driving the cars is better than Pcars now - the way you feel the bumps and curbs of the laser scanned tracks is second to none,i havnt ever enjoyed a racing game more for the 'pure' driving. Its a slow burner,but it takes over a week to grab you imo.

And normally i hate all road cars,the long braking distances,the grip compared to the GT/tuned cars - but the Ferrari 458 changed my mind on that,it is a fantastic car to drive.

I ran a 15 lap race at Red Bull Ring in the Scuderia P4/5 on 'medium' setting - it was a fantastic race,i was battling in the middle of the pack most of the race,was catching the car ahead but i made one mistake and the few laps of catching up were put to waste. It feels very realistic concerning AI pacing,depending what car theyre in.

Theres also some really nice little sound effects you notice - like being right behind an AI car,and you hear the ferocious exhaust blast right in your face.

Nice driving! And ho don't like the crazy 250F..

Now just imagine for a second if Kunos had inverted the pedals in this car.

👍 now every time i will drive one of the 250F's i will be singing this...

More even in nordschleife... Because there i will "volare" more than one time

 

[Orayani]

👍


Think of Honda.





So much potential for so many Assetto Corsa parodies.

Hello!!

Had a laugh in a GT3 lobby today, it was like 10 pin bowling into that second corner, i was one lucky Hamster!!! And after at turn 3 i saw that white Mclaren coming lol!!

I can only imagine how much more fun they are with a wheel. I drove it with light fog early morning, looks great. Also with headphones the sound is so much better if you're not playing it loud through a system. It's the most fun I've had with my clothes on, so tonight it will be ghe most fun I've had with my clothes off.

Funny thing is though, she is bloody fast!!! I've raced her before, one quick bird....Errrrr girl!

What do you mean, she!?

A wheel and a shifter...

The jump from using 2 pedals/paddles to having a clutch and shifter is huge. Especially in a car like this one, where perfect heel-and-toeing is required and removing one hand from the wheel at any given time can have fatal consequences.

 

[HammyMansell]

What do you mean, she!?

You know? She......Her......Ella....Elle.....ela........lei............etc....... I can't say "he", as that would be wrong!

Just a joke my friend!! Her name suits her, no worries, she's a friend on my PSN list too! 👍

The 69 behind her name makes me think its a dude.

Oh, really? 👍

I would blindly bet that that name belonged to a hairy dude.

Girls_R_Fast69 had to change batteries because she (or he....) was disconnected half way?

I know this is random to ask, but is there any possibility that the BMW M6 GT3 could be DLC at some point?

Well thank you very much for that bit of info!

Is there any news on the new R8 LMS GT3?

 

[Wiz]

Is there any news on the new R8 LMS GT3?

Yes it was supposed to be released last year, but I think the Porsche deal threw a monkey wrench in their plans. I think it's a safe bet that we'll see it this year.

 

[Orayani]

Is that the 2017 R8 GT3's?

 

[JR98]

Is that the 2017 R8 GT3's?

I think they're referring to this 2017 R8 LMS

 

[Orayani]

Saucy! I love the R8's.

Looks a bit Nismo style?
