Assetto Corsa Competizione: First Nissan and Monza Preview

[Paul Jeffrey]

Marco Massarutto has shown a first preview of the upcoming Nissan Nismo GT-R GT3 that is set to form part of the new ACC Release 6 content update.

Having initially delayed the launch of the new update to later this week, Assetto Corsa Competizione fans don't have to hold off now until the Nismo GT-R GT3 and Monza circuit are released. As well as the content, the upcoming build will of course also contain a range of fixes and improvements to the increasingly impressive Early Access title - all of which will be revealed in good time when Kunos hit that deployment button on Steam!

Not long to go now folks...

Assetto Corsa Competizione is available on Steam Early Access now. Currently at build release 5 status.

That's actually really exciting to me. Even as someone without much experience it amazes me how often I see people doing events without using helicorsa (or helimobilista) even here on Race Department. Maybe having a built-in solution will encourage more people to adopt it.

A spotter is way better than a radar blinking and flashing every time you go near another car.

Take your time Kunos. Just make it worth the wait.

ACC is having an F1 Williams moment

Indeed... Who could have predicted that one day, we'd be making jokes like that about a team like Williams. Just goes to show how things can change.

Let's not forget that this update was delayed only one week ago... We're not exactly talking about a "Half-Life episode 3" kind of delay here....

I have to disagree, a spotter doesn't give anywhere near the amount of information a radar does in where everyone is positioning going into a corner, particularly when multiple cars are involved; hard for me to see that as better. Definitely less intrusive though, I could understand feeling that way. I do think using both is better than either option alone though!

All that being said, I'm all for using whatever works for each person individually! Many of the people I was referring to in that post aren't using either option, anything would be better than that.

CPU optimization in change log got my attention.

Really looking forward to that.

That could really save the day for my trusty ol' i3-4170.
Currently it works, but becomes reeeally slow with lots of AI cars.

But don't calculate with changing your fps from 30 to 50 but from 30 to 33 maybe...

I hope they made the Ai physics less like the player physics and that will save massive CPU load when using a full grid!

edit. I've taken a chance here. I'm pretty sure this is a screenshot from ACC and not GT Sport, however much of the post was in google translate, and it wasn't massively clear as to where the picture originated. So please, if I'm wrong and this is GT Sport.. don't crucify me!! lol

Yeah nothing to worry about here Paul its just the sponsor packages on the liveries who are all on the cars no matter what game there inside.

When it comes to GPU and CPU optimisation maybe @x4fab and @henter should have a look into the software.

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

even the richest and best companies

wait, it's 2019 and we're talking about Williams, not 1995

Today 21st of February marks the 1 year anniversary of the Kaspersky in the rain at Spa video that got us all excited for ACC.

I'm also hoping for optimisation, just upgraded too a 2k screen, not even tried as expect the worse!

Here's hoping

True helicorsa gives more accurate info. Spotter is more immersive though (while not realistic either). I dislike HUD elements, the less the better. Cars aren't fighter jets. Hope they would add support for both.

 

[RasmusP]

I really do like the triple mirrors in rf2 for these reasons. You'll see a car next to you in the side mirrors. Not realistic either that you have 180° vision in your mirrors but you don't need someone constantly telling you where the cars are and also no fighter jet radar.
It takes some time getting used to the distorted image but overall it's the most inmersive for me as I actually can look for myself on my single screen instead of needing artificial help.

To be fair, 10 days or so delay is small beer compared to other developers (cough ... Reiza rf2 dlc, Reiza 17, AMS major manufacturer dlc ... cough ...S397 rF2 menu,,, cough Sector3 Porsches... cough iRacing new tyre model). I'm teasing here - not trying to start a flame war. But given the GTR and Monza were shown at E3 it is a little frustrating. I presume the delay is down to features rather than content.

Agreed that neither is realistic in road racing, but IRL the visibility is quite different. I am very happy Helicorsa will be natively supported, hopefully they add support (UDP or what) for Crew Chief as well. In that case, we will be able to choose what we want. If Helicorsa will look the same as in AC, that is fully invisible if no cars are around, it will be great. I prefer minimum HUD as well.

The delay is one thing, holding complete radio silence about it is what bothers me much more.

A simple explanation would take maybe 5 minutes tops. Right now Kunos is letting everyone and their dog think of anything that could explain why they went silent, and none of them are going to help their otherwhise pretty good image. For a game that is bigger in scope than they ever made and has an official license this is questionable.

Even on the official ACC forums of Kunos themselves people lose their patience with this radio silence, not necessary with the delay itself.

 

[garyjpaterson]

Lol at least wait till the week that they said it would come out is over

 

[mr Sw1tchblade]

They want to launch new version of multilayer with this patch.
