Assetto Corsa Competizione Coming to PS4 and XB1, Arrives June 23

[Jamesways]

If I had the skills, I'd attempt to make a mod of Paul Ricard circuit and put grass and gravel and verges round the track instead of nasty blue lines.

But the track would still be trash

Man, I LOVE this track. I love the blue and red lines, it's unique. It's been one of my favorites to race at dawn.
Opinions, right?

I just struggle to find any corner or series of corners that I actually enjoy at this track. Free practice I find boring but I'll do some more races to see if they offer more enjoyment.

FYI, today's PS4 update (1.02) is a hotfix for the livery editor, a pop-in issue and some career stuff, not the wheel input/FPS one we're all hankering for:

 

[MarcoM]

At least they're working on it

 

[bleeder]

There's a lot of pop up generally so I wonder what the bug was?

 

[aaron0288]

Yes its opened been playing all week, no big deal I can wait for dlc there is plenty for me to do in the mean time.

If that’s the case send me a PM and I’ll email over my spare code. I ended up buying digitally after hearing my physical copy wasn’t going to turn up on release day.

Edit: That’s as long as you’re in the UK. I would guess it’s only redeemable for UK accounts?

Everybody likes different things, right? I've never had a chance to race it on console and I love watching it when the series is there, I think it makes for some great pics too with the blue and red colors.
It's fun to race the AI there.

Can't see any difference on 1.02. I guess it's stuff they where working on still pre release. Still can't option controlling with thumb sticks for throttle brake. Keyboard still doesn't work on ps4, still can't ajust the screen fit and so on. Anyway at least they are working on .. mysterious things . It's better than nothing.

 

[nicefrog]

Ah I see something they fixed.. You can no longer crash the game by clicking on the (still not working in Australia) multiplayer section

How do you gain Pace (PC)-rating? I’ve done 3/4 of the available special events and my PC is still 0. Sure, I’m not the fastest around but a 0 seems excessive
Also, is there a way to see the rankings outside of the top 10? It would be nice to see where you stand among other people.

Is your 'car control' driver attribute higher than 50? You have to get each attribute above 50 to unlock the next one in the list.

Have you don’t any online racing at all yet? My other numbers aren’t as high as yours, but I have a number for PC though I’m pretty sure.

Edit:

Edit 2: I can’t figure out the pit stops though, mine keep taking forever. I’ll come in in first place and leave in last every time.

I’ve done a handful or two of quick join-online races. Guess my pc-ranking is just bugged or something..

A couple of us have found that turning your TV to GAME mode can remove the Stuttering / Frame Pacing issue, if that's something you are suffering from? It still at 30FPS, but its a consistent 30FPS and that makes a huge difference

 

[nicefrog]

I spoke to soon about the 1.02 stopping the server page crash.. Crashed as soon as I walked away from the ps4

I continued walking and bought every good simulator on PC.. . and I don't have a gaming PC.. I'm so deep committed now though.. so I'll have to build one.

 

[Jtheripper]

Just checked the psn store on my cell, doesn't even say the limit of 7th july to get the launch deal. Im guessing it's at 11am est on 7th. Just says buy now and get it.
Pics on there look pretty good, can it look that good on a std ps4? That ferrari pic looks pretty damn real.

I just noticed that if you press triangle (PS4) on the Driver Profile page you can see stats on distance driven, valid laps, times etc. Nice touch.

There are separate tracks listed for the 2018 season, are there any differences between the years? Is it perhaps just the trackside signage and branding that differs?

Yes, I seemed to recall something about that so I checked the changelog. When they added the 2019 cars they also updated some of the tracks to reflect the surface grip as it was that year. Here is an excerpt from the changelog:

- Barcelona 2019 surface grip (slightly slower).
- Silverstone 2019 surface grip adjustments (around 2 seconds slower).
- Paul Ricard 2019 surface grip (around 1 second faster).
- Spa 2019 surface grip (small difference).

Thanks for the info. Will have to do some testing at some point to see the difference

Does that mean it's a fix to be more accurate from before a sim update or it really is to reflect a change in real life from 2018 to 2019 surface condition?
I guess if they kept the 2018 version it's to reflect a real change. They sure seem pretty dedicated to realism.

They sure seem pretty dedicated to realism.

Yeah they are hyper on detail. I saw on one of Aris videos, when you choose a certain time at a certain track, the sun is in the exact position it was on the day off the real race - it rises and sets relative to the track correctly. So you would see the track exactly how the real drivers saw it; in the replays all the lighting and shadows would match the real race footage.

And say 9pm at Silverstone (which was held in the summer) it is still light but with very long shadows. But 9pm at Barcelona (which was held i think in Sept or Oct) and its pretty much completely dark.

I think that's a really nice touch.

Speaking of attention to detail, the build up of grime on the cars is also pretty neat.

My pace is also 0 after setting times in the events. No idea why?

Play a special event and your PC will start to grow

I give up.

I'm beginning to change my mind a little about the AI because now I'm seeing a pattern here. The WRT Audi and Black Falcon Mercedes have been the lead 2 AI in every race I've ran so far. There hasn't been any variety. The Hondas have finished either dead last or very close to it. The all pro teams seem to be the strongest which is what I thought at the beginning, not all cars are equal. This is more like PCars2 where classes are very top heavy with certain cars.

 

[MarcoM]

^ just like in real racing?

 

[Stotty]

I'm running career at pro level and I'm racing the same few cars every round... Hurracan, Merc and Audi... all driven by top level drivers.

I've noticed some drivers run faster than others... Englehart is very fast and very aggressive, for example.
