Assetto Corsa Competizione | V1.5.2 Now Available

[Paul Jeffrey]

Assetto Corsa Competizione has been in receipt of another new hotfix today, the second such release since V1.5 of the simulation launched back in mid July.

• Improvements to timing widget.
• Minor multiplayer fixes and improvements.
• Other miscellaneous fixes.

The second post V1.5 and GT4 DLC update for Assetto Corsa Competizione launched to the PC version of the simulation earlier today, and with it come a number of smaller fixes and improvements as Kunos Simulazioni continue to refine the current version of the game post update.

The V1.5.2 update comes fairly hot off of the heels from 1.5.1 that released just last week, and although featuring some useful changes around the UI and multiplayer aspects of the game in relation to multiclass racing, doesn't contain much in the way of significant change.

Of the most noteworthy items from the new build, the work around on screen timings in relation to other cars within the game are perhaps the most significant for players, and should hopefully produce a more accurate picture of a players current track position in relation to their rivals.

You can check out the update changes below:

v1.5.2 Changelog

GAMEPLAY:

• Added a minimum pitstop time of 1 second for stop&go-style mandatory stops.

UI:

• Realtime widget: fixed inaccurate gap values versus cars in pitlane during race sessions.
• Realtime widget: fixed incorrect gaps to cars ahead of the focused car when there are cars in pitlane in between and reduced likelihood of gap spikes.
• Realtime widget: cars in pitlane are now filtered during non-race sessions if the focused car is on track.
• Realtime widget: more accurate gap calculation for cars stopped on track.
• Removed automatic brake change check in the MFD Pitstop strategy unless the brakes are worn out.
• SetupPage: added "use current pressures" button in the pit strategy panel which copies the current setup's tyre pressures to the currently active pit strategy.

CONTROLS:

• Added direct-to-page bindings for MFD: realtime, standings, electronics and pitstop. In multiclass mode the standings binding will cycle between overall and class standings.
• MFD direct-to-page bindings support long-press hiding like the MFD cycling binding.
• Re-evaluated combined bindings (using the shift binding) on press, should fix situations when binding a shifted button would also trigger the unshifted binding (e.g. look left-right).

GRAPHICS:

• Minor fixes on the Ginetta custom designs.

MULTIPLAYER:

• Fixed additional BoP values resetting on driver swaps.
• Rejoining now is blocked as intended if the server is running out of grid slots, preventing double assignments.
• Fixed grid position mismatches in situations where many unique cars connect/disconnect during Q sessions.
• Endurance sessions with huge grids (> 48 cars with teams) now receive the session results without issue.
• Fixed a bug where the last drivers couldn't join during endurance sessions with huge grids (> 48 cars with teams).

Assetto Corsa Competizione is available now on PC, Xbox One and PS4.

You can write what you want, there is no proper lift off oversteer in ACC and countless onboards proof it.

We're obviously playing different games! If I'm going wide around the Parabolica and I lift off the throttle, the car tightens up (oversteers). Does that not happen for you?

Whatever it is, I'm far more competitive in ACC when there is rain, because then I can rotate the car more like I want it. On dry it feels more like a rail-racer and if your setup is not top-notch and the driving line not according to the stiff ACC-physics, 3 sec. off the pace isn't unusual. ACC is too much like iRacing: best setups wins. I saw at least two professional GT3-driver being 4-6 sec. off the alien-times and they thought it was a good lap. This MoTec-s... seems a bit too powerful as well.

Not true. You can be very fast also with default aggressive setup:

As @baronesbc posted above, the aliens can get to within a few tenths of a tuned setup using the default. It's not the setup it's your driving.

I know a pro driver who also sim races and he's not on the aliens pace, even I can beat him. However it's not unexpected as there is a huge difference between playing a game and real life driving, especially with the different types of sensory information. It's nothing to do with setups and everything to do with aliens being good at playing a game.
