We have long been working on new vehicle content to integrate into the current version of ARCA Sim Racing 08 and we are finally nearing the final stages of modelling and integration. It has been much anticipated and a long wait from our community for this content, of which should provide a exciting addition to the many great leagues out there. Our release schedule has been determined by community demand and our polls showed that the truck was the most anticipated content, so we changed focus from the Impala to the Silverado and couldn't be more eager to get this content out. Expect the Chevrolet Silverado and then the NW Impala followed by the Cup Impala.
As will always be the case with any content we release, our physics derive from a mass amount of vehicle and tire data from real world teams and our integration is done side-by-side with team engineers. Our intent is to provide vehicle specific performance characteristics, of which are unmatched by any other sim on the market to-date.
VERSION 2 UPDATE:
In additon to the added vehicle and track content coming to ASR08, which we are scheduling for release, we are also continuing to structure development on our second installment of PC software. As there is no current release date or title yet established, we can say with utter certainty that it will be the finest stock car racing simulator ever produced for the PC platform. As our competitors have lifted the bar on track design and graphical elements, we will meet or exceed expectations for those items and push the level of physics programming lightyears beyond any stock car simulation software that has ever released to the PC platform for the sim racing and professional motorsports communities.
What can you expect from our next installment of software?
- A complete roster of Laser Scanned Tracks
- Higher level of realism in regard to vehicle dynamics, tire modelling as well as aerodynamic protocols
- Far more stock car racing vehicle content: Asphalt and long awaited dirt content
- An immense library of tracks
- New and easier to use Front End System
- In-Depth Statistical Ranking Systems
- Far more complex lobby system
- Completely new User Interface system
- A host of new in-game features
Stay tuned as more information is provided. We are still quite a ways off on the next version so we are going to maintain additional vehicle and track updates free of charge for our ASR08 community to enjoy. Keep the fuel burning, tires turning and your eyes on the prize!
