Triple Screen Support Coming to ACC!

[Chris]

Earlier this morning, Aristotelis of Kunos Simulazioni teased an image of Assetto Corsa Competizione being displayed on three monitors.

For many racers, triple screen support is absolutely essential for racing. Without it, games will go completely untouched, unpurchased and left to collect dust on the virtual shelves of the Steam store. And it's completely understandable. Racing on triple screens is a totally different ball game to a single screen. Outside of Virtual Reality, it is the single most immersive way to play racing games currently.

However, with a single social media post from Kunos, they could see the inclusion of thousands of simracers who have been waiting eagerly for Assetto Corsa Competizione to become compatible with Triple Screen setups.

In what capacity it will be available at release remains to be seen as the cryptic post gave little away, other than support for triple screens and the interior of the newly (but not yet announced) McLaren 720S GT3. No release date, no word on how it will work with Unreal Engine. But... The most important thing is that it's coming.

Unreal Engine has been something of a limiting factor for the Italian studio as the engine does not natively support triple screen rendering. Meaning that to get it to work would require convoluted workarounds, often resulting in warped and skewed images on the side monitors.

However, with the hard work of Kunos, that looks set to be a thing of the past.

Will this development be the catalyst to get you to fire up ACC for the first time in months? Or to buy it in the first place if you haven't already? Let us know in the comments below.

I have 75Hz monitor too and someone told me that under 90-100 fps it was shitty. LOL

for FPS it is, for racing, not that much.

When triple screen is teased like a feature you have the measure how simracing is a joke now...

(Read some posts below first then come back for clicking "disagree" lol)

I'll stick to my projector.

For me a screen that takes up my entire field of view gives better immersion, and the next upgrade will be to VR.

How do you find response times/input latency using a projector. I'll be buying one soon and any advice will be gladly received.

Poor FFB
Poor physics
Poor tyres
Poor (well, INEXISTANT) online racing
etc...
etc...

Yep, it’s all poor... I’ve been having such a poor time lately... haha

When a great sim with proper tire physics, night/day cycle/meticulous recreation of Blancpain championship/esports/etc. is overlooked because triple screen is delayed in order to implement properly because of UE4, THEN you TRULY have the measure how simracing is a joke now...

I corrected your post.

Mate, is nothing good enough for ppl anymore....

Kunos has always done this, same with AC, as the sim/game evolves they always cater to the audience. No surprises here. Also new pics surfacing of incoming v1.1, the good stuff always takes long to make.

There's a really old saying: 3 types of service offered: Good quality - Cheap - Fast (pick two)

Funny how this quote is adapted to so many scenarios. I first heard it when I was doing track days in reference to building a track car “cheap, reliable, fast, pick any two”

I’m still trying to make it look good on one 2560x1080 IPS screen and you guys are going to be running 3?
It looks stunning at night, still blurry during the day I’ve tried for hours to clear it up.

In the process of building an E46 M3 Competition package for street/track... wtf is cheap, never heard of it.

Really looking forward to this. I am a bit curious though. I didn't see any announcement that the UE4 engine supports triple screens with any recent releases, so i'm left wondering if this is another work around or if it will truly be properly supported.

The last time they provided the stretched center screen work around, I was really disappointed.

Thanks but no, I don't need it to be corrected by you, so please remove my name from that post...
I am not talking about ACC overall quality, I am talking about simracing in general and I think ACC like others sim has it its own problems but promoting something should be there from day one as an exciting news (as other sim did in the past) is a joke....

Just a heads up, I had a projector but I didn't really use it for gaming or sim racing but over all my experience with it was they're a hassle to accommodate and will have ongoing costs with regards bulbs. Your room will have to be very dark, I know people will often say it's OK in a bright room but as you get more used to it you'll notice the image quality goes up a lot the darker the room gets and it can be hard to ignore the fact if the room was just a little bit darker I'd have a better picture and next thing you know your sitting in a pitch black room. The more you use it the more it will cost you as bulbs have a self life and mine had noticeable drop off in quality towards the end of the bulbs life.

The picture can be great but there are extra variables like the amount of light in the room that can negatively affect picture quality which can get super annoying, they require more work and patients than a big TV. If you can accommodate it and live with the quirks they are great, but a big TV would be much easier to live with and cost a lot less in the long run.

After seeing the ACC is getting possible Triple Screen support, time to throw out my 8 year old existing triple screen 27" monitors that have 28mm thick bezels ...I have just purchased 3 new basic 27" 1080 monitors with 3 sides frameless hidden edge design IPS panel, 75Hz and Freesync....yay, looking forward to them.

At least one clever man here, 75hz is so much better than 60hz and thoze almost with out bezel type monitors will suit you very good, i has 3x27” 75hz 1080p lg monitors and they are great, just maybe wished that they would be ips and not VA panels, also was thinking samsun crg9 for better resolution but it seems not the way to go, as a lot of who had 49” crg9 or chg9 went back to tripples!

Wait Wait Wait, it's maybe a paying DLC

 

[Spinelli]

Well, Kunos, you have at least 1 sale thanks to this update. Grazie!!!

Forgive me for asking, but how do you mount these? Or do you have a table to set them up?

[QUOTE = "Rob Fitness, publicación: 3057251, miembro: 115661"] Estoy muy emocionado de escuchar que esto viene y con 3 cámaras ... no puedo esperar para probarlo y con la última versión escaneada con láser de Bathurst. pronto también ... :enamorado:. solo espero que funcione decente también, no tiene sentido hacerlo si se ejecuta a 50FPS en medio. en una PC de $ 4000 [/ QUOTE]
Totalmente de acuerdo!!!

 

[ilema]

I have a better feature proposal for Kunos it's called "listentothecommunitynotoolate" for example start AC2 before AMS 2 release.

 

[Deleted member 197115]

Is VR support coming too?
The proper one.
