Assetto Corsa Competizione - The official Blancpain GT Series Game announced

[KDiesel]

 

BTW ACC game is absolutely not ready for any MP championships. I can to point 100 reasons of it, but guys, just beleave me and forget about serious racing here. I am talking to Mark and other admins. Just relacs about ACC.   Let they do the game ready for MP ( and SP) first. Or lets they live with a shame being  released this "simulator v1.0".
Mark, what about next series in AC1?    

 

[Mark J]

guess its the turn of another ACC test race next week. Happy to just try another track dry or wet.

Wait till it hits public beta 1.9, may work then.

[Mark J]

works fine for me (mostly) these test races are more about familiarisation with the new sim and encouraging some of us into some seat time with the various new cars.
Im actually enjoying it more because i'm using my monitors with the superb visuals instead of the carp resolution of the Rift. Will admit it curtails closer racing, makes me wonder how i ever went door to door with other cars without VR.

You usually spun off when cars got close .

UI:
- Added chat window on Multiplayer menu screens.
- Now possible to save driver profile with a blank nickname.

yay to the chat window, that was a bit annoying having to get in the car to see it

LOL @ the nickname thing though, I did that a couple of weeks ago when I reinstalled the game to test VR again.  Maybe a case of bug becomes feature

- Private servers can setup a full formation lap via "shortFormationLap": 0 in the settings.json.

That might be that one sorted then, although who gets to drive it? AI or the human driver? Who's going to overtake when someone spins off and see if you get penalised!

You can drive for yourself, but there's a 90/120 kph speed limit applied to your car and your car automatically brakes when you try to overtake someone else. Spinning cars are allowed to overtake.
This line suggests that you can now also do a free formation lap without any limitatios tho, probably suitable for league racing:

Server admins can assign a free formation lap (without limiter) via /manual start during the wait time.

Looks promising. I don't think I've ever driven a sim which had realistic curb feeling. Often it would result in instant loss of all grip, which seems so far off when you look at real life footage.

[Mark J]

I actually thought the kerb behaviour was really good in ACC, certainly the best yet in any simracing over the years, so i was surprised when a couple of you said you experienced weird reactions. I assumed you had wrongly set damper settings that can spit you off a kerb  

ps...where are we racing this week? 

[MaxVeloce]

anywhere that its raining!

I want to see how MP kills(or not) the fps in the rain   

[Baikal]

ps...where are we racing this week?  

For myself, after some races, i am not in interest for ACC current versions, I'd prefer they bring all AC server futures first and game readyness in other important aspects. Every smallest car contact will ruin your laptime and driving fun due poor server futures.
May be it will be v1.1 , may be not.
+Summer time- i am in vacations from simracing
