8. Last thing : if you would back to early stages of AC , what would be the first thing that you would do different?

Interesting question.

Put slightly differently; What do you know now that would have been helpful in the early days of AC?

 

[TylerDurden4321]

Hmm... Ok, questions about current AC only...

- You're doing double wishbone, McPherson and some Multi-Link suspensions natively in AC. How hard is it for you to "emulate" other suspension types like a live axle or torsion bar with the AC native types. Is it much more of a trial and error process to get it right or do you do some calculations and it works basically right away?

 

[ltcars]

How do you do active suspension? The Porsche 911 turbo has soft suspension when being slow and stiffens up at higher speed to not be boaty. Does this get simulated too?
And will we see cars from Koenigsegg and Bugatti some day? (Hypercars) I would really want to see a Chiron, Regera or Venom

 

[Cote Dazur]

2 questions:

• What is the road map for 2018 for AC?
• What are the odds that we could have parallax and adjusting mirrors in AC when driving in VR, is it even possible with the present game engine?

 

[Amir Vodokotlic]

Will you consider simulating different fuel maps? For GT3 cars.

Have a lookup table that has different fuel consumption figures (probably easiest part to do)
than have maybe another lookup table that reduces power a bit to engine (low/mid/high)?

I am not sure how iracing/pcars2/rre does it

but I think it would be good feature to have in AC.

Thanks.

Question, so with laser scanning of tracks being banned (last years April fool joke at RD) did you get the track
only joking.....


serious question
whats more important the track or the car in AC pick one.?

im a track person over a car.

 

[Shaun Clarke]

Question for Aris.

Would you and Stefano ever considering releasing a A Modders Guide to AC Bible letting us know what all the values that are available in data folder?

I know you are joking, but if I remember laser scanning the tracks just banned in UK.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Looking forward to Pauls choice of attire for this evening, I'm expecting a flowery pink number with tassels.

 

[melanieuk]

Until then, I'll be more than happy to show, explain, talk and answer questions about all the great things that we have in AC current state and release.

Great so I have a question, the current AI are ok but not great, as right now the AI in Assetto Corsa are unable to reverse once they spin out or face the opposite direction ( they usually retire or struggle to rejoin a race if they go off track), Will the AI be improved in the current version of Assetto Corsa and the issue of them not being able to reverse & rejoin the race be fixed, or will we have to wait until a AC 2 before they are fixed and are able to reverse?.

 

[davidrd85]

Just watched the Alfa Quadrifoglio video and it looks like the manual version.
Will both gearbox versions of the car be in the game?

 

[Shaun Clarke]

Will be getting comfy and ready.....

 

[Patrik Marek]

Laguna Seca looks really good on those screenshots! nice work

Question 1 to Aris: By creating the sound for the Huracan Performante, what was the "basic sound"?
1) Huracan GT3
2) Gallardo SL
3) Made from scratch using records from the real car
4) others

Question 2 to Aris: How you created the sound for the Giulia Quadrifoglio?

 

[ProjectWHaT]

I found the server they're using. lol

 

[ltcars]

Will manually starting a car by pressing keys, etc. a thing?

 

[Tberg]

Paul sure knows how to pick a shirt

 

[aphidgod]

I need earplugs to look at it.
