So in the spirit of community engagement I need your help once again! I've got an interview lined up with the developers of the upcoming Assetto Corsa Competizione and would like you all to throw down your burning questions for the devs...

Please keep it compact, sensible and concise and one question per post please. Make it easy on me, I expect lots of responses.. !

AC is finished, has been for months. Your 'unfinished features' is Kunos 'design choices'.

"Unfinished" means started/considered (for Platinum edition for example) and not meant as "missing" features. It was a general question and it was addressed for Stefano, but if you feel like his press-secretary - keep us updated

 

[TTM75]

If you have read Stefanos posting about ACC modding support, you can understand that they will not spend any minute for original AC anymore, they work full time for ACC.

Actually I felt like trying to inform you of news that the rest of the community has known for months. Anyways, you are right, why the hell should I try to be helpful to a community made up of people like you? From now on I should just let the clueless remain that way.

Post race... Can we step out of the car and walk over to other guys pit and start a brawl?

In VR room scale with motion controler support that could be satisfing lol []>》

 

[Emery]

Well... have you looked at the listing of servers in every sim? GT3 dominates and it isn't even close. I think it is a good thing to specialize. The sims that try to do it all end up never satisfying anyone. Too many "masters of none".

GT3 is second in popularity to F1 (reference number of players in F1 2017).

AC, however, doesn't have proper F1 (lack of tracks, single make grid, no tire rule enforcement, no recon lap starts, no talent files), thus GT3 is most popular for AC servers. AC also happens to have a good selection of the current GT3 marques/models, unlike the mishmash that exists for other multi-marque series.

 

[marcocale]

That's an answer for tracks and cars, but it doesn't answer the question of whether Apps are supported, in Python or another language. Obviously you can't "figure out" how to do them if it isn't there.

Now we have, if not a final answer, at least something more and official on Apps directly form Stefano. HERE

 

[Jamesp111]

Will the multiplayer be more centralised than AC? For example:
1. Are you intending to host and schedule races yourselves or will you rely on others to host servers?
2. Will the penalty for contact be like it is at the moment, where a given server can decide what level of Minorating is allowed to run, or are you planning else?
3. Do you have any plans to group players into races depending on ability?

Is the trailer representative of the game or just promotional footage?

I'm pretty certain Stefano wouldn't have addressed your question tbh. This is a "
Assetto Corsa Competizione Interview Questions Request" thread for Paul Jeffery when he conducts his interview with Kunos.
Obviously, there are some new people to the game and just might not know these things that most players have had knowledge about, so sometimes a member will give you the answer. Which is what happened.
*I gave a sarcastic response to his generosity, and then you pretty much insulted him lol. Just sayin...(I feet partly responsible)

Blancpain series = NO Nordschleife , a shame
and hopefully they get rid of this lousy slot system, or they can keep it
It makes simply no sense, that you have to wait hours to get your desired car

 

[Alex72]

Is the trailer representative of the game or just promotional footage?

Pretty sure it said/someone talked about that the preview is 100% gameplay footage.

 

[DreadNaughT-7]

Wish to have controller specific servers

 

[Edivad82]

Before abandone Assetto Corsa, pls fix the mirrors in onboard camera mode. Thanks

 

[omanrak]

y u no premium

 

[cubadoo1]

A question for the devs . Will acc have similar car setups , will you be able to apply your ac setup to acc? Not directly .

 

[Plak]

How long ago did development of ACC start?

 

[marcocale]

End 2016 / beginning 2017, according to Massarutto podcast interview.
8 months spent in 2017 to work on UR4 E.
As far as I understand more a R&D than 100% development.

 

[ecstaticbrick]

Will we have safety cars and visible marshals/ flag wavers/?

 

[pitkin]

Will the AI be to the same high standard as AC? It's currently the best of any sim IMO, but it took a long time to get there. It would be a shame to have to start from scratch again and perhaps be not as good.
