A few of us spent some time on AC last night in lobbies, they are a real pain. You can't choose car and track specific combo which is really lame, you have to filter a car, then AC seems to generate a few track choices for it. We ended up with the Ferrari 458GT2 at Mugello which was great however. Me and Jax got this combo before the others joined and we ended up racing in a full rm, both of us qualified near the front. By turn three the public room idiots had done their duty and destroyed our race. A bit later it was better with six SNAILS in the room and a couple of unknowns. Another weird thing is the race start, you can't put the car in gear until all the start lights go out.
I think for now, AC will mostly be fun for just driving in a different environment. This morning I tried Jim Clark's 1966 Lotus 49 at the 1966 full Monza circuit. With the gearing changed for higher speeds, this was good fun getting to drive both legendary car and track. Then I went to the Nordschleif with the RUF RT12R, turned TC and ABS off, and OMG, if you want a challenge give that a try. The tracks are definitely a big improvement and I really am getting to like the cars. Some are pretty easy to drive, but some are a great challenge.
Ran into some lag issues again last night but not until I had been on for quite awhile. I went into the house and reset the modem, then turned console back on and all was fine. I will do this just before we start tonight and hopefully there won't be an issue. If I see anyone lagging I will assume it is me and will leave the room immediately. I just talked to my service provider and I'm getting my DL speed bumped up to hopefully 15mbps from my current 5. This will not be able to happen until Monday though.
