Assetto Corsa: What to Expect

[brownninja97]

Will there be a day 1 patch for AC? I don't know, but here is an article that tries to explain what they are and why they exist, and why you should probably expect one: http://ramiismail.com/2016/08/patch-the-process/

It will 100% sure, the screening process is just too long. There is a lot with can be done/fixed between the time that a game goes gold and when the devs hit the beds.

If a dev is in the zone they can overhaul a ton of stuff in terms of functionality and bugs in a short period of time.

AC was submitted for Gold in July. PC development continues to this day, whether it's called a day 1 patch or not, we'll get one soon after launch.

Guess what they will keep on working........................after the game comes out.

pretty shocking in my opinion

I don't know, some dude on the internets was upset because Kunos was spending time making 24 Porsche's and not other cars, like he thought after the Porsche's are finished they are going to cease all development (i.e. he was whinging because they weren't making the car he wanted).

Seriously, who complains about 24 Porsche's?
That's like complaining about a free happy ending at the massage parlor.

"Seriously, who complains about 24 Porsche's"

Ummmm, people that don't like Porsche's.

"Seriously, who complains about 24 Porsche's"

I'm not a huge Porsche fan myself but why would anyone write them off for a game focused on the track driving experience? The only valid concern I can see is that the Italian makes have some catching up to do once all 24 Porsche cars are included.

 

[brownninja97]

If you listen closely you can hear the Lotus execs panicking as they arent the most fruitful brands in ac anymore.

The 3-11 though, that is just something else, its gonna be a monster and depending on which Praga revision we get it will be a rival.

That's neither here nor there. Porsche is THE most desired brand in sim racing (due to its absence for so long) and for Kunos to pull such a coup, especially considering Porsche came to them, can only lead to good things for AC. If Porsche wants in on the AC party you can be sure that other marques are taking notice and will likely also want to join the party. So in theory, scoring 24 Porsches will lead to more brands (ones you may like) making their way to AC.

I am a Porsche fan so I'm delighted. I agree with everything you wrote but not everyone likes the same things so to those people Porsche are just meh.

 

[brownninja97]

personally im always happy to get cars i bitterly hate added to the game. im not gonna drive them much if at all. They are rivals, i hate them and that hatred pushes me to beat them.

I know not everyone will agree but i think the m6 gt3 is an atrocity to gt3 racing but its coming and im happy because it will look great in my mirrors

That's one way to stay positive.

I'd say the same to them, look beyond the Porsches. When one of the biggest, most respected marques in the world knocks on Kunos door and says "Ve vant our cars in ze sim" it can only mean good things for the future of AC and for sure more non-Porsche cars will come.

its not positively its war, if i get pissed they are the ones to die first mwahahhahh

 

[Whitestar]

The brown ninja has been eating too much fish me thinks. I'm not a huge fan of Porsche myself but I hope that will change when I get to drive the cars.

1) How many of each car can you own/access? You get one of each. No currency in the game, so no bying. You have full access to all cars.
2) How many tunes can be saved to each car? I think as many as you like. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

4) On replays can you fix the camera angle like GT6. PCars and for that matter Dirt Rally it keeps switching back to inside views. Very annoying >:-(. Yes, you can select several cameras and they stay like that. But you can switch manually between different views. For example: F1 switches between different views inside and around the car. You have to press it to switch to one of the different views (cockpit, cockpit dash, chase1, chase2, bumper, bonnet and roof). F3 switches between different trackside cameras. You also have to press this to switch views (TV1, TV2, TV3 and static IIRC). The only camera that switches automatically is F2. That rotates between all other cams IIRC.

Mmmmm............ where are the F buttons on a DS4 (hand controller PS4) :-) :-) :-)

Thanks for the reply, at least it sounds encouraging.

 

[Whitestar]

Let's hope all those buttons can be assigned in some way that doesn't make it fiddly. I'm sure the cameras will be there.

No, he's playing a fish harmonica!

I've seen from console menu videos there are different preset wheel/controller layouts but don't know if every button can be assigned. Be a shame if we couldn't do that, was a good feature of pCARS.

The presets are just a starting point, after you select it you *should be able to remap all your buttons to what you desire (*presuming this stays the same as the PC). On the PC you can't quite map as many things as other sims, but you should be able map things like brake bias, TC, handbrake, look left/right/back, change view, flash headlights, and all the MGU/ERS stuff for the F1 car to whichever wheel button you prefer.

If presets were exclusive to console I'd be a bit worried but if they exist on PC already and can still be changed that's promising.

I am sure there are to but I do not want then to randomly change like PBugs and Dirt Rally. Once I select the desired view I would like it to stay that way.

About the AI, since you mention it: it's great once the field spreads out a little, but there's always a little bit of first corner chaos, depending on track.

That's just authentic simulation of every televised race I've seen this year.

I use Pcars dash app and also CrewChief for PCars , is there anything like this for AC ? I hate racing without CrewChief now it's such an awesome app .

There are many apps and mods for the PC version of Assetto Corsa. I think mostly this thread is seems to be talking about the upcoming console release 8/30/16.

Check out www.racedepartment.com/downloads/categories/ac-apps.4/

I had not heard of Crew Chief so I looked it up. Fantastic app, though I find it hard to believe that kind of intense, constant, and precise coaching is allowed in online racing.

this would really be important to me. Along with another question:

can I use my button box with assetto corsa on ps4?

If modders can make it work on PCARS, i see no reason why they wouldn't be able to do the same for AC. Just guessing of course as i don't know the inner code of both games.

On PC there is of course, but for that first you need to convert to the master race first

It's the PS4 that I use with CrewChief and the Pcars dash app , I don't think it's precise coaching , the spotter is useful especially in multiclass racing and the corvettes use a form of it , the other information given is only what you would get from an engineer in real life .

Well, there's no way to police it so I'm not sure how it would be dis-allowed.

I think it all depends on if the game allows external API's (not sure if that's the correct term?). Modders can make stuff work, but if the game doesn't send a signal that allows the app to work it won't do much good. I don't know what the norm is on PS4/XBone, maybe all games allow this kind of thing now, but I'm sure if Mr. Belowski can make it work he will.

The other question I have is if AC has a SPEC/Tuning prohibited setting for our line use and how well does it work? Apparently it doesn't work very well in pcars. I even heard of cars with different amounts of fuel at race start and loopholes for using assists on pcars.

Hi all thanks for all the info, l alsp would like to know if there is a online fixed stock lobby avaiable?
Can you save cockpit camera pitch/position per car?

Thanks
