Changelog looks disappointing but hoping the cars make up for it.

1.8Gb downloading now, including DLC

I'm downloading too, anything in the change log that might scupper the race tonight?

Had to change the fps limiter back on with a slider. Set the GLASS_THRESHOLD=1.10 in assetto_corsa.ini back again. Had to restart Steam, so the server update could download.

Haven't tried it yet, but as a quattro owner the fact that it's added 4WD support has me very excited. :D

Given the GT-R and the Merc Group C car a quick whirl. Triple screen is worse than ever, in game is okay but menu screens leaping from screen to screen with wild abandon. ::)

Dont have any issues like that with mine Dave, no different to before. To me everything is just a bit brighter, like they've turned the gamma up with everything.

One MASSIVE problem: none of the mod cars work anymore. They've changed something to do with the aerodynamics, so everything will need patching before it will work with 1.1.
Nice of Kunos to let the modders know beforehand so they could have them ready, rather than them all having to rush to patch them afterwards.../sarcasm >:(

I got a yellow flag in the top corner of the screen in qually when the car in front fell off. Never saw it in the race. What's that about?

Server config program still forgets the Grip Randomness toggle when you run it.

I bet the chat window is still obscured by the results after the race, I couldn't be bothered to sit around and look tonight.

They've added flag rules in, as well as changing the penalty system. The actual cut track detection is still atrocious, however, so I'd still suggest running PLP instead.

Flags are a bit big imo, but nice to see them implemented.
Yes chat is still behind results.

There is a new (well I haven't seen it before) option under graphics or general that says something like 'compact results screen at end of session' wonder if that solves the results problem? I ticked it before tonight's race except I didn't stay to the end and 3 drivers wouldn't have hidden much anyway  :P

Tried the Ring out tonight finally, it's flipping gorgeous and so realistic looking, love it!  :thumbup1:

Took the Alfa Gta for a drive around it but the car itself left me a little underwhelmed. So I took the Mercedes E90 DTM for a blast...beast of a car, felt great and quick.  8)
Look forward to trying the rest of the new toys  :)

New weather effects are pretty cool visually. A foggy/misty Spa, Silverstone or Nordschleife looks very atmospheric.  8)  Ironic that the headlights come on automatically but they cast no beam...even in the fog  ::)  Looks cool on the replay though  :)

also tried the Sauber C9, another rapid beast and a bit out of my skill level at present. Try it at Spa !

The 155's not as much fun as I thought it would be. Most of my driving has been the GTR GT3 or the Alfa Romeo 4C - the GTR handles brilliantly, just a hint of powersliding most of the time but nice and controllable. I'm still slow with it though. The 4C is just plain perfect, it might actually overtake the Elise as my favourite car in AC.

Not sure how you set weather up on the server  :-[ There's nothing in the setup gui I can see to do it.

picnic, you dont set weather up yet. :)

LOL - that'll explain it then  ::)

Apparently the new track variant structure they introduced with the Nordschleife has managed to break a lot of the map/UI mods as there's no way to reference which variant you're on, just the track itself.

In particular, sTracker and pTracker don't work AT ALL with 1.1 because of this.
In particular, sTracker and pTracker don't work on tracks with multiple layouts because of this.

Kunos haven't responded to it yet. Considering it's an obvious requirement to have the track variant available via python for the apps they themselves encouraged and they haven't done so I'm really starting to lose faith in them for modding. As much as AC is awesome stock, it's lacking so many things that mods are a necessity for me - and given that most of them get effectively disabled every time Kunos patch the game, it's a bit of a problem.  :-\

Not sure that's correct Tibs, I've already raced in a league since 1.1 using pstracker, works fine.

Yep, I got that wrong: sTracker and pTracker don't work on tracks with multiple layouts, which is currently Nords and Vallelunga.

Gah the flags on triple screen are top left of the left hand monitor so I didn't even notice them for ages! Useless place to put them for triple screen users.

Still hate the setup garage screens as you're constantly scrolling back and forth.

But at least they've fixed the stupid mirror FOV. Hoorah and the last multiplayer race I did seem to have shown that they fixed the stutter stutter pause pause issues in multiplayer that was ruining the whole experience for me.


Triple screen works even better than ever (in terms of FPS) for me on SLI GTX970s :-)

Not sure what you means about menu screens leaping from screen to screen. Have you tried setting the launcher to 1920x1080 limit in one of the menus (sorry cant remember which one) as that's how I have it set up and I have no funny menu screen flippings.

Yep - that made it worse. >:(

For the next 30 hours there is an extra discount on AC + Dream pack 1... Only € 24,99

Looks like quite the bargin to me, even if you are not sure it is the sim for you.
