Assetto Corsa Competizione.

[Ferry_vO]

Now available in Early Access on Steam!
Just one car (Lamborghini Huracan) and one track (Nurburgring GP), but it shows great promise IMHO!
Once finished, it will allow you to drive both the 2018 and 2019 Blancpain GT series (GT3 cars)
With more content released the price will go up, like Dirt Rally.

Got my copy and as you say Ferry a lot of promise.

Not had a chance to test it yet, hopefully this weekend.

[noddy]

And by the way lovely shots. :applause:

[Ferry_vO]

And by the way lovely shots. :applause:

Except for a bit of cropping and resizing unedited!

Have to say the external views are quite intensive on the framerate, but internal views are fine.

[wombat666]

Thought about it but not going there just yet.
The usual muppets are rubbishing stage one (idiots-it's a WIP!) and the fan boys are lauding it (idiots-it's a WIP!), where I prefer to see what it looks like when about 50% done.
:encouragement:

[Ferry_vO]

I try to keep away from forums, unless I run into problems, so I can form my own opinion.
No idea if ACC will be moddable, but no doubt that will be a major issue for some. System specs (Especially in its current unoptimized form) will be another.

[wombat666]

I was very happy with the way PC1 was promoted, after the initial low level entry I decided to go up a few levels and the development process was a good experience.
Much to my surprise I even recovered my 'investment' and made a profit!!

The bar was set too high for PC2 but I was considering joining up again except I ran out of time.

In this case I'll hang back for a couple of stages and most likely buy in as ACC is fleshed out.
If ACC isn't allowed to be modded it might cause some angst, but I expect there will be some level allowed.

Certainly agree with you about the forums Ferry, RD has a high number of ill mannered, ignorant and just plain stupid people posting, but the 'Ignore' button works.
As for Farcebook.......... I try not to post anything if I can avoid it.
:biggrin-new:
I'll read what you and Noddy post here with interest, at least your views will be unbiased.

And a PS: Agree on the subject of systems as well, right now I'm not planning on any updates in that area as I think (just me, myself) that next year we will be seeing some new chips released that will be more capable (and probably more expensive!) by quite a margin to the present offerings, I took myself off to Computex in Sydney several weeks ago and there was very little to get exited about.
Reading between the lines in most of the name manufacturers promotional material gave me a little insight on what not to spend money on right now.

Any thoughts, Andy..?

I just fired up the 'old' AC, and did a few laps in the same car and on the same track. I could reproduce the exact same lap times easily!

[noddy]

It feels like a cross between PC2 and AC.
So far I have done two 10 minute races and some solo laps, as you say it does not feel to different to AC. Although I am trying different set ups which I never really did.
The new layout and look is good, so it will be interesting to see how it continues to develop, this is a first time that I have tried an early access game. But so far I am liking it.
Of course 1 car and track could get boring!

[Ferry_vO]

In this case I'll hang back for a couple of stages and most likely buy in as ACC is fleshed out.


Here's a roadmap showing the upcoming updates, and when the price will go up:

[wombat666]

I'm coming round to the idea of ACC and that Jaguar is a sweetener.
:applouse:

[Ferry_vO]

I'm really beginning to like it, it is as much a sim as AC is, and the racing is really close. It does require a slight change in driving style compared to the high downforce cars I'm used to.
Racing at night really is scary and very tricky with all new reference points for braking zones.

The downside of the current state of the game for me are the tracks; The Hungaroring and the Nurburgring are OK, Zolder is average and I really don't like Paul Ricard and Misano. At least Spa, Barcelona, Brands Hatch, Silverstone and Monza will be added later. And Zandvoort is on the 2019 calendar! Maybe I'll go see these cars in real life there.
The 2019 season will be released as a free update in the summer of 2019. Hopefully it will include Zandvoort and the new Bentley and Mclaren GT3 cars.

Re the circuits: Is that the quality or just a personal dislike Ferry?
:pirate:

[jymp]

If they do some 70's F1's I'd be interested, now nah.

[Ferry_vO]

But for AC, not for ACC.



Re the circuits: Is that the quality or just a personal dislike Ferry?

My personal taste Wombat.

Misano is just plain boring, flat as a pancake with just one interesting flat out corner. Paul Ricard isn't much better IMHO.
The quality of the graphics by Kunos is outstanding om all tracks.

[noddy]

Wombat,

Where did you find those 70's F1 cars?

Thanks,
Andy

[noddy]

Agree with Ferry, Spa, Brands, Monza and Zandvoort all have great character and challenge to them.

Although a little bias with Brands as this is my local circuit.

[speedy70]

the 67 ones look a lot better than mine too.

links please fellas.

On one of the Facebook pages Noddy, but I need to dig to find out exactly which one (CRAFT Syndrome), it was posted on several pages at the time.
I'll find a link.

Originally a paid mod by 'SimDream' it must have been nicked and posted on Farcebook. Any of these links should do the trick.
Just checked and the MEGA link is fine.

[noddy]

Great, many thanks.

Always liked Monza.
Are you having any issues with the new patch, as there seem to be a few reports on it?
And nice shots again.

[Ferry_vO]

No issues here, however there was another update out today that maybe fixed some problems already?

[wombat666]

I'm giving this some serous thought now that it's moved a way toward maturity but.......I noticed a lot of grumbles about ACC in general on the forums and Steam, coupled with the apparent lack of activity here.
Before I pull the trigger I should be asking our resident ACC users what (if anything) is limiting your enthusiasm?
The usual whingers on Steam are hardly a reliable source of information and the usual suspects on the usual forums are prejudiced firmly in the 'yes' or 'no' camps.
Thoughts please Ferry and Noddy.
:encouragement:

[Ferry_vO]

I think it is a solid sim, but for me the extra content available for Assetto Corsa keeps me going back to that sim more. I do enjoy the occasional race in ACC though!
A general lack of time isn't helping either.

If you like GT3 racing in general this is the best option I think. It reminds me a bit of the classic GTR2.
Should really do the Spa 24 hours again soon.

[wombat666]

Thank you Ferry.
I agree, the add-on content is the best and strangely weakest part of AC.
The really good mods are just that, really good, but some of the ordinary mods are very ordinary.
What I find attractive about ACC are the time and weather options, it annoys me when a circuit is posted with day and night options that don't work without additional packages.
I've given up on RF2, despite the revised program and new (maybe different?) developers it's always crashing or not even loading, shame as I hooked up with the original RF2 at the very start.
Time is always a problem which is why I'm only considering ACC at the moment........then again, one should never say never.
:encouragement:

[Ferry_vO]

V1.1 Was released yesterday, with all cars and tracks from the current season, so it now includes Zandvoort as well!
It also includes the McLaren 720GT3, even though the real thing was never used in the Blancpain series, since it was BOP'ed into oblivion.
Still a fun car though!

The ghosting effect is really annoying, but it is it not visible when you pause the game. Of course then the wheels aren't rotating..

[Ferry_vO]

And some news regarding ACC; a track pack is coming: https://505games.com/assetto-corsa-competizione-the-intercontinental-gt-pack/



The Intercontinental GT Pack, will be fully dedicated to Intercontinental GT Challenge, featuring new tracks such as Suzuka, Mount Panorama, Laguna Seca and Kyalami
