AI improvements sound good, since at the moment it's even worse than AC if I recall correctly.
Not going to play yet though. Waiting for DLSS fix for triple screen (and hopefully some performance improvements).

 

[Scaff]

Two layouts for Fuji, the Delta gets Evo III options for diff, engine, and suspension, and the Lambo gets the STO Track pack option as well.

 

[Nacho Libre]

The Huracan STO has a 20-minutes hot stint event at Suzuka GP and feels and sounds incredible. This should be good for farming XP/credits.

Fuji Speedway is... Fuji. Good luck there with the understeering Lancia Delta.

I think it's way deeper than that. Your 3080 should handle 3 screens with ease without needing DLSS. I played last night with triples and had nothing but performance issues. GPU utilization was bouncing from 98%-36%. Reducing the graphics settings only reduced the max GPU load. It still would drop in the 30's. VR and single screen seem to be ok for me.

This game reminds me of car configurator on a website but you can drive your creations.

It is a configurator, the manufacturer options seem to be mostly present and correct so far anyway.

So anybody having performance issues with triple screens can try what I did. This game has what I can only describe as the "Forza Effect". Cap the framerate within the game at 60 and turn on V-Sync. I was able to max out the settings and race for almost 2 hours without any major framerate drop. I also did not notice any studder on the objects in the distance. It was smooth. I have to do this same thing with Forza on triple screens.

I'm currently on the latest update 1.6. I did not try this with 1.5.

 

[Alfa Romeo GT]

Hummm I bought the lancia, in the garage I can see the lancia, but when I select it, it's the ford.
I'm not going back to that dealership...

Yeah, I fear we'll have to wait a while for performance optimizations. I just hope they can get it up to acceptable framerates before release.
EDIT: Looking at the roadmap it seems VR and triple screen step 2 is next up, so that's good.

I'll give that a shot but I'm not optimistic, as my fps often goes below 50 when racing. Also keep in mind that you have an insanely powerful GPU that's twice as fast as mine.

This is the last edition of the Evo, made for the Japanese market. I see you can select it but there is something incorrect on the ACE version ( unless people were not selecting it on the vids I watched ), can anyone spot what the difference to the euro one is?

The difference in GPU's shouldn't matter in this scenerio. Sure, you're not going to be able to max out the settings, but you should still be able to pull a solid and consistant fps. My 4090 should easily hold 120fps+ with my current settings in triples if the game was fully optimized for it. If you're already hovering around 60fps consistantly without the cap, then your settings in game are too high. If you're noticing high fps changes, and your GPU utilization is super inconsistant like mine, then the 60fps cap should help.

Beisde the color and headlights size, no?

 

[Nacho Libre]

20-minute hot stints can be quite relaxing and profitable (22,000 credits from Laguna Seca on the Toyota GT86 and I bet the cleaner you race, more money you make). I hope we get sector times and leaderboards in the future.

I was gonna suggest that maybe someone starts a thread where we can post our times, but that would probably be very hard to keep track of and get really cluttered.

If you are referring to the wing you can raise it in the car configuration settings before racing.

My review of the first content drop

That is correct.

Nope. Headlights.

Edit: almost forgot, if you Look at GT's version you can tell they modled the Japanese edition.

 

[Nacho Libre]

One other good thing I checked in the update. FINALLY, the central rearview mirror aligns with the back window!

I think TrackTitan has a pretty good database already

That is correct.

Since they are japan based, that make sense!

 

[jobyone]

I am really enjoying ACEvo. This latest update even made me aware of a version of the lancia I did not know about. https://www.evo.co.uk/lancia/integrale/13132/lancia-delta-integrale-evo-3

 

[Nacho Libre]

Grrr... two times now I've been disconnected while running a hot stint. It says that my stats will be saved for later, but who knows?
