Assetto Corsa Competizione Interview Questions Request!

[Paul Jeffrey]

Having snagged a nice interview with Kunos Simulazioni about the new Assetto Corsa Competizione simulation, we want your interview questions!

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.. !

While I have your attention, feel free to pop in your wish list requests on this thread HERE.

Assetto Corsa Competizione should be available on Steam Early Access Summer 2018.

Check out the Assetto Corsa Competizione here at RaceDepartment for the latest news and discussions regarding this exciting upcoming sim. We intend to host some quality League and Club Racing events as well as hosting some great community created mods (we hope!). Join in the discussion today.

Go on then, get your questions in below!

 

[schrep1964]

Will the weather changes on track be linked to a real-life weather server like eg Weather Underground?

 

[dan944]

Will you have the ability to save a race mid-way through and return to it later on? Much like you could in GTR2, really useful feature for those wanting to run full races but who may not have the time to do so in one sitting.

 

[Carlos F. Santos]

Is ACC a spin-off and will have AC2 latter?

 

[schrep1964]

In misty and damp weather conditions could the UE4 simulate rear wing tip vortex effects, would be cool.

 

[TheMattyOnline]

I would like to know where Kunos see ACC sitting in a rather populated genre.
Is it all out Simulation. Simcade. Both or something else?

 

[Epistolarius]

I would like to know where Kunos see ACC sitting in a rather populated genre.

... really?

a) there are never enough simulation games out there, and the genre is most certainly not overpopulated in my view.
b) where did you get the impression that Kunos are making "Simcade" games?
c) how can a game be simulation and "simcade" at the same time?
d) "else" = arcade?

 

[Daggerman]

Will we have dedicated server support?

Will there be mod support?

 

[BhZ]

I can only feel sorry for @Paul Jeffrey that has to go through the same 10 questions asked a 1000 times...

 

[Isaac Chavira]

Will the weather changes on track be linked to a real-life weather server like eg Weather Underground?

I don't see why not considering Flight Simulator 2004 had thjat feature. It would be really cool if they did that!

 

[bgil66]

Will the teams contact you if they have a new livery to add or some changes to the car etc?

 

[eatyoubrocookie]

How to be fast in those damn GT3s ?

“Press the loud pedal until it goes fast enough”
-Luca B., 2017-

 

[eatyoubrocookie]

Will there be a live weather feature? That could also fix the problem of people not making use of rainy weather just give them no control over it and let Mother Nature decide what happens in real time.

I love that in endurance races at RF2

Oh and with the new engine, will it be finally possible to set a max rendered cars value? That would increase performance big time on big grids that would make sense in a 24h race...

 

[el_mattpro]

AC Competicione will bring "Mouse Steering" Setting like A.C? i'm a mouse steering user and by far is one of the best in M.Steering also with LFS.

 

[Emery]

Will the series competition rules(*) be modular, like rF2, such that future titles can be catered for by editing config file rather than recoding?

(*) Type of start, drivethrough vs. stop-and-go for penalties, full course yellows, mandatory pit stops, refueling vs. enforced no refueling, minimum/maximum driver time in seat, etc.

 

[Brent Mills]

I'm disappointed so few questions are geared towards multiplayer. I guess most people don't consider solid multiplayer a top priority which is very surprising and disappointing.

 

[Matt Beers]

Will the game be coming to consoles?! Thanks

 

[nijeat]

Will there be profile statistics system? online based or not.

 

[Isaac Chavira]

Will there be a GT4 Expansion pack?

 

[Jammy Daddy]

Dear Kunos: What is the future of AC? Is it going to be a retro game, that lives by community support of modders? Or Kunos will update it continuously and fix bugs? What does this mean for AC2, or that is something down the road in 3-4 years from now?

Thank You!

1) Since you are using Unreal engine and not your own engine like in AC1 , how difficult will it be to transfer the car handling/simulation part to Unreal? Will there be compromises, is Unreal (since it's used for fps, rpg's etc etc mostly) fit to handle the simulation data that lies underneath?

2) PS4 Pro / Xbox X support

3) Will we see the Nordschleife recreated in UE4 in ACC?
