People of AC, if you put the Lotus 49 in the Tech Demo and place a button for preorder you are going to get a lot of money from iRacing users waiting for this car for some months.

But you have to release it soon.

Boys... did you see it?

Car+track... open wheelers fans happy?

Awesome vid betterstranger! Saw the 2min Sky report vid this morning and was disappointed with the shortness

The F1 seems to handle pretty much as you'd expect it... As Aris has eluded to, it's got the best bits from NK and FVA and then taken up a level again

Yeah, the vid is awsome but... thank the guy who put it on youtube! He's the one to thank!

Its very old alpha of AC, Aris said that. I saw it some time ago

Ooooh. Dunno what to make of this but it looks like Aris is back on physics duty but the TD work continues as it has some issues?

Hannes-Joshua Thor Barthel · Jan 28, 2013

I often get a bit confused of the term physics ... I often read the term physics in combination with chassis things like suspension and so on...
but for myself physics are the world where the cars drive in... so the physicsengine itself you could say...
maybe in other sims it was like every car has it's own physics... but what I read about AC.. there are only the physics of the game.. and if a car is not behaving like it should with the real data.. they look into the engine what could be wrong with it instead of tweaking the car...

so for me there are no physics from a car but from the world it is in...

so I reading the tweet as: he is measuring suspension things of a car... which has nothing to do with working on the physics of the game.. (which should be ready already hopefully

)

so I think the issues with the td are more the "usual" things like.. why did it crash to desktop or why is that button in the menu not working.. or why is there no loading screen.. or all that things... things that happen at betas ...

"Back to suspension point measurements of a LEGEND."

I wonder what car he is working on, some legendary Ferrari? Lotus? Or maybe something else entirely?

DennS · Jan 28, 2013

Well it looks like a legend we don't know yet... to bad Ferrari made a lot, guessing will be hard

I say F40 though...

@Dens021
Aristotelis do we know the legend already or is it unannounced content

?

I would think it most logical to use a Ferrari in the TD.

Seeing as that will likely gain the most exposure for the game over any other factor. Just the fact that people uploading videos will name it as having a Ferrari will lead to far more exposure of the product.

Also due to the nature of Ferrari's in reality being some of the most balanced cars they would be a fantastic car to Demo the depth of AC's physics.

Personally I'm more interested in pure race cars but based of all he cars in NKP I'm sure anything Kunos deliver will be better than what we find in other simulators.

I guess you could argue that they want to keep the "best" for the final product but we know that there are going to be a couple of Ferrari cars in the game and any person that will play the "TD" will be people that already own NKP so will probably be buying AC regardless.

All I need from AC is for it to be as solid as the last version of NKP and to be more active on-line, everything else is a bonus.

Assuming the TD is awesome its going to be so annoying having to wait for the actual game !

Bram Hengeveld · Jan 28, 2013

Tech preview is not for the exposure but for testing some features for NKP license holders.

The demo will be the real showcase I think.

Hampus Andersson · Jan 28, 2013

By Legend it´s probably an old GTO, The Enzo or F40.

But let's be serious - TD - low end Lotus or X-bow (I hope 1st one), Demo - 500. Boys said in TD will be something leightweight RWD, and 500 will be in demo.
Also Aris said (some time ago) that they can't give us best car/track in TD/demo. And actually that would be unwise to put Ferrari in TD/demo - they've got only 5 cars! I guess one will be in DLC or maybe even two... you know - Ferraris are show sellers!
