Assetto Corsa.

[Ferry_vO]

Another new race sim, now available at Steam and much like Project C.a.r.s. this is an 'early access'. Normal price is 35 euro's, however, for the next 45 hours (From posting this thread) it comes with a 25% discount!

Early access means not all cars, tracks and game modes are available and there are no weather options yet. The track and car list has more than a few similarities with pCars, but some interesting other cars as well.
Of course it is hard to compare two unfinished games, but after the first hour or so in Assetto Corsa, I think pCars looks slightly better but is heavier on the system, and AC feels more natural to drive. It still isn't easy though!

BTW the developer, Kunos simulazioni, is known for sims like Netkar Pro and Ferrari Academy so they know their sims!

The crown jewel (For now) for me in AC is the Scuderia Glickenhaus P4/5 Competizione (Although based on a Ferrari 430GT2 Glickenhaus wasn't allowed to use the Ferrari badge on his creation.):

And one BIG advantage AC has over pCars: You can still buy AC, pCars is unavailable for now..

Just downloading as I type. Looks pretty good.

[Ferry_vO]

Yes, it does look good! And even though you can only drive the cars, as there's no AI or career mode yet, it still will keep me busy for hours. Once completed the game will cost €45, so 26 now is a steal.

Can't wait to take the 599XX Evo for a spin this weekend!

[noddy]

How do you get the screenshots?

[Ferry_vO]

I'm using Fraps to capture screenshots,Noddy.

Shame I have to wait until tomorrow evening to give them a test..

[noddy]

Great many thanks. Have to get the update.

[Ferry_vO]

Did a few more miles today in different cars, starting with the F40:

Lik the real thing you really need to be careful with those two big turbos...

Next up was the 599XX Evo, a trackday special version of the 599: Powerful and nervous, a real racing car. Awesome sounds, it's a joy to shift down through the gears.

First time I noticed the cars get dirty after a few laps (And a few excursions through the gravel traps... ):

Another trackday special, the Pagani Zonda R. A favourite from pCars, and a favourite in Assetto Corsa. Huge amounts of power, grip and style.

This little Lotus 2-Eleven was the surprise of the day though, really fun to slide through the corners like a real Lotus does. Turn in early and control the rear with the throttle.

Thanks for the heads up on this Ferry,it looks very promising. I will probably wait til it is RTM before buying but at least I know it's available. I've been getting my racing fix on the newly released Gran Turismo 6, it is greatly improved over the last iteration. Polyphony Digital teamed up with Yokohama Tire to redo the tire physics and they have got them feeling pretty good,it's still just virtual rubber but it feels more right than before the changes.Here are a couple of shots from my in-game career mode.

I must admit the Gran Turismo series look great, but with AC, pCars, GTR2, rFactor and GT Legends all still installed I don't feel the need to buy a Playstation for essentially just one game..

Perfectly understandable,even though the Playstation 3's prices have dropped with the release of the PS4 it is still a pricey outflow of cash,if I didn't already own one I wouldn't buy it for just one game title either.

Sounds almost impossible, Ferry... But i guess you must be right. I bought AC and installed it but haven't found the time to actually load it up. ( caused by getting back working with Max and a certain DC-3 cockpit... :teapot: )

Like with Pcars ,is the Lotus 49 actually the only 1960's F1 car in AC ? If affirm that's quite remarkable, isn't it...

Groeten,

For now it is, but I guess that's part of the deal they made with Lotus. The 98T will follow, another car also included in pCars.. At least they have a long list of modern Lotusses (Lotii??) including several versions of the Exige, Elise, Evora and 2-Eleven. Also just noticed they added the LaFerrari to the list, which should be fun to drive with 963 hp...
A few more cars at the lower end of the scale would be nice too, maybe an Abarth Punto SS?

[Javis]

Thanks, Ferry. I guess i'll have to wait for more of my beloved 1960's race monsters ( i was there at Zandvoort each year you know, that's why... :cool: ) when 'GPL 201x' will be released. Fat chance, i know... But quoting the fabulous Todd Rundgren " A dream goes on forever.. "


Still haven't had a chance to load up AC but i will as soon as this DC-3 cockpit will let me. :)


Cheers,
Jan

[Milton Shupe]

These games look so enticing. Maybe after 2014 modeling projects, I'll make the leap. Love racing much more than flying.

Any idea how these models are so well done? What tools are used? So realistic looking.

[Ferry_vO]

Who needs a DC-3 anyway....?? :a1310: (Ducks for cover while the entire SOH community grabs a pitchfork and forms an angry mob...) Besides, you need to let off steam once in a while! ;-)





Any idea how these models are so well done? What tools are used? So realistic looking.

Don't know about the models, but the tracks are created useing something called 'laser scanning' of the real track.
Maybe they used something similar, converting a real car to a 3D sim model?

[ViperPilot2]

THAT's a Driving Sim? OMG! :eek: It looks so doggone REAL!

Wow... and do the cars 'feel' like their RW counterparts?

I know we're talking HP racing cars here, but I'd LOVE to see a 1970 Challenger R/T in this format, to see how she would drive!

[aircav1970]

Hey Alan, I am just getting ready to try A/C out but GT6 does include the 1970 Challenger 440 R/T in it along with the AAR Cuda 340 Six Pack,both are great fun to throw around the track. Of course even though they have taken the racing sims to the next level with physics and graphics there is just no way to replicate the "feel" of driving the real thing...I use a wheel and set of pedals instead of the standard controller and that has made it even more immersive. We do "Trans-Am" style racing on-line where we can get a dozen guys from all over the place all racing together for a couple of hours each week-end,great fun! Ayway,here are a couple shots of the Mopars.

[Ferry_vO]

Wow... and do the cars 'feel' like their RW counterparts?



I wish I could tell you they all drive exactly like their real-life versions, but alas... Truth is, even the Fiat 500 Abarth in this game has more hp than my own car..

But Kunos has a great reputation for racing sims, and from what I've read most cars do seems to behave like they should.

FWIW Here's a nice video by a guy named Kurt who's testing the BMW M3 and the 599XX (After about thirteen minutes.) at two different tracks. Gives a nice impression of the game:

[ViperPilot2]

Thanks for the replies, gents!

Ferry -- that is one COOL video! With the subtle shading, the changes on the paint from sunlight to dark... awesome!

Silly me, asking about how the cars 'feel'... I know there's no force feedback, or the feeling of lateral movement; I
was thinking more on the lines of 'move the wheel, does the car react instantly?'... thinks like that.

Aircav - Awesome Mopars! Yeah, I have a bit of an affinity for Vanishing Point... especially since the 2nd lead actor
(the car) has good old CO tags on it, and in the movie you can pick out scenes in Denver of places that are still standing!

Great shots again, Noddy!

Even though the 599XX is a silly car in real life (Even though you pay a million or so, you don't get to put it in your own garage, you can't drive it on the road and there's no racing class it fits in..) I still love the simulation! The sounds and gear shifts are just brutal!

Got myself a new videocard and screen, so I can now push the graphics to the max. Still need to tweak the AA a bit though.

[noddy]

Lovely shots again,

What card are you using? Is there any info about using Nvidia Inspector out there?

[Ferry_vO]

What card are you using? Is there any info about using Nvidia Inspector out there?

My new card is an Asus GeForce GTX770 with 2Gb Ram. Don't know if there's a profile for Inspector available, but I usually start with my FsX profile settings and work from there.

[noddy]

Yep pretty much playing around to see want I can get with Inspector.

The two new cars in the 0.5 version; the BMW 1M Coupe:

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a262/Ferror/Assetto%20Corsa/acs2014-01-1720-39-07-37_zps07768bd2.jpg~original (http://s13.photobucket.com/user/Ferror/media/Assetto%20Corsa/acs2014-01-1720-39-07-37_zps07768bd2.jpg.html)

Some magazines describe it as a modern-day muscle car, and that's how it feels in the game. Lots of oversteer and tyre smoke!

And the Lotus Evora GTE:

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a262/Ferror/Assetto%20Corsa/acs2014-01-1720-49-38-97_zps308132f2.jpg~original (http://s13.photobucket.com/user/Ferror/media/Assetto%20Corsa/acs2014-01-1720-49-38-97_zps308132f2.jpg.html)

A 420 hp road legal version of the Evora GT2. Quite a beast!

[noddy]

Have to pick the update up tomorrow.

Looks good.

[Ferry_vO]

And the best part of this version are the new races against the AI!

The A.I. is a hoot, but its does play dirty :mixed-smiley-010:

Not nearly as bad as pCars though, those drivers went to the Al Quaida school for suicidal driving... :dizzy:

It is annoying to get pushed off the track and get a 5 second penalty as a bonus...

[noddy]

Understand a small updated issued to correct some bugs.

[Daveroo]

Ferry and Noddy,

im hoping to pick this up after the first of the month,does trackir work with it?..and i seen it on steam..is that the onlt place?...Dave

[Ferry_vO]

Yes, it is only available through Steam. Works fine for me though!

As I don't have TrackIR I can't answer any questions on that.

[noddy]

Sorry neither do I.

A bit of squeeze, but it was for a 2nd place.

[Daveroo]

my wheel peddle setup has a clutch peddle,is it operable in this sim?

[Whitehawk]

Sure does support the clutch Daveroo, just gotta enable it (and then try and shift without clutching, it can be done the correct way!)

Includes Lotus Evora GTC and Lotus Evora GX racing cars. The two cars might look extremely similar, but they have quite some differences between them and we’re really curious to see your laptimes on the various Assetto Corsa ranks made by the community 3rd party apps.

[Whitehawk]

Oooh yeah!


The next update of Assetto Corsa Early Access will include the multiplayer mode and was previously scheduled for tomorrow's release; our work in the last two months has been strongly focused to complete and deliver this feature properly. We have also made investments to set several free public servers for our users and a proper lobby for servers created by, users, leagues, simracing websites and so on. However, due to the 25th April celebration, we might have some issues to get the best possible support from our italian based server provider, right at launch day.

If you haven´t allready, give Snoopy´s Nordschleife a try. It is a conversion of a rFactor2 mod, and it is graphically not all the way with the Kunos tracks, but hey, it´s Nordschleife.
