News Assetto Corsa | Latest News

[Lars Brugman]

Just read the interview posted above and it puts some things into perspective, I highly recommend everyone read it if you haven't already, particularly the statement from the devs prior to the Q&A.

You think we haven't already read that interview 30 times?

 

[Kjell Eilertsen]

Judging by the expectations in the "AC on 3 mon" thread it seems like some haven't read it even once.

So at GamesCom 15-19th of August we can expect Assetto Corsa to make an appearance.

[Vaggelis Theodoridis]

Vinicius are u italian? Are u sure about drift mode?

CAN U CONFIRM THAT MESSAGE???

 

[ufunacaoenn]

Give us the article and we will all Google translate it and see if we can all agree.
Are you sure the article wasn't about pCars?

 

[Aristotelis]

No worries gents. No finicky physics mode or such. If you do the appropriate setup changes as in a real drift car, you can make everything a real drift car can do in reality. Physics engines can handle it if you know what to do
We just added it as a race event with extra points counting, so you can use it if you like.
But you must know how to drift in real life

Personally speaking, 900 degrees wheel and handbrake, drifting around magione is great fun and needs skills. And that's from a hardcore race fan that you all know I am.

 

[Kjell Eilertsen]

Best answer ever! ^^
Aristotelis: Will AC feature any "racing school" features that gives players tips on how to get better at driving (for instance drifting)? I just bought GTR2 from eBay only because it has such a feature and would be very happy to see something like this in AC too.
I understand if you can´t answer this at this point in time.

 

[ufunacaoenn]

I really hope that AC will be on gamex too!

 

[Aristotelis]

hmmm to this point no... we do have an ideal line with braking points and acceleration points ecc... but actual driving school right now no yet. It's on the brainstorm level yet on how we could accomplish this, but right now, no.

 

[Kjell Eilertsen]

Ok, thanks for answering, good to hear it has crossed your minds at least. I´m not expecting it just hoping since I´m new to Simracing and will take any tip and help I can get

Richard Burns Rally only for track cars *hint hint

The Italian interview seems to say AC, at launch, will have about 20 cars and 7 tracks. All the announced cars from Lotus and BMW add up to over 20 cars and there are 7 tracks confirmed too. I think that will probably be the launch content. The interview also says there will be more to come via DLC.

 

[Kjell Eilertsen]

The interview was a interesting read, seems indeed it will launch with what cars we´ve heard about so far and not much more, but 20 cars are fine by me as long as DLCs are coming (within reasonble time ofc).
Can´t wait to try this one!
