The Huayra is beautiful (a work of art) and will be great in AC. Same power to weight as a standard Veyron but much lighter for better handling. It did an amazingly fast lap around the Top Gear track.

Interesting to see those aeroflaps working with proper physics.

hey Stefano, just wondering if we would still have the option of manually turning the car, with switches and stuff, like nkp


Stefano Casillo @KunosStefano 6 Apr
@BorisLozac no but there will be other useless toys like lights on/off , doors open/closed (as long you are stopped ) and "show bird".

"show bird"

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

Although he is probably kidding about the "show bird" that would be EPIC if it really is there.

 

[Ian Strom]

According to slang I have heard here in North America a male can have two different "birds".
One type being his middle fingers and the other being *ahem* his middle leg.
(Actually three if you count his Pontiac Firebird, and those should totally be included in Assetto Corsa!)

I know he meant middle finger, but there are differences around the world wrt slang that can provide amusement for those willing to laugh.

And I guess in England bird can also be a female.

Would be awesome for broadcasts

but check this out, not so good news for "hardcore" fans

@LRatafia @BorisLozac dont know yet about engine start.. but ignition surely wont be there.

 

[Juise]

Probably they have to implement kill switch and starter atleast when pitstops get to the game. some engines just can't take long pitstops on idle while car is being repaired..

 

[mapu13]

yup, for now, ignition doesn't seem to be needed, but hopefully it will become available with the pit stops.

 

[Chris James]

I take it by some of the comments that those features won't (maybe) be available at launch, but will eventually become available?

 

[Juise]

might eventually, who knows

 

[BanjoMaster]

No news, snippets or screenshots this week? I'm getting withdrawal symptoms... *shakes uncontrollably*

 

[Cedric Germain]

+1

 

[Juise]

From Marco's FB page..

Oh yes!

 

[Maro_Marinov]

Not a word from Kunos for such a long time...
At least, to me it seems that way. I am desperate for a good sim such as AC.

 

[Olivier Boissel]

The calm before the storm ?

 

[BanjoMaster]

The calm before the storm ?

More than likely. Their families probably haven't even seen them for weeks. They'll be stumbling out into the sun like Chilean miners when they get to release point I expect. Remember, they've got all their own money tied up in this project, so they'll be making absolutely sure it's as good as they can get it before pulling the trigger on it.

Surely by now we should have some sort of indication on which way the Steam thing is heading though?

can't imagine that AC won't be there. they've got 162 pages of comments! in 2 months!
I hope everything will be alright

Yes, I was about to post that . I honestly can't wait to see if AC made it, fingers crossed.
Last time they greenlit 10 games... Just judging from the huge amount of comments it got in not even 2 months I really think they have a good shot at making it... PLEASE VALVE
