assetto corsa Assetto Corsa {DT} - General Discussion Thread

[Ryzza5]

'Racing Setup' in Italian, another racing sim for PC and console that appears to have some decent features (most of which were already planned for pCARS as well, but the more the merrier).

 

[2CV SUPER GT]

Good to notice that Assetto Corsa will offer the best modding tools never seen in a racing game as it's just the tools used by the developpement team and made to be easy to use. You ll be even able to modify the full game, script new features and more. Physics are one of the best and rendering are quite high level with Dx11 support. Laserscanned tracks for an accurate feeling. The most important features is that Assetto Corsa is not edited by Atari...

 

 

[mod edit:] Please don't embed more than two videos per post, thanks.

Ferrari looks great

[Minime891]

Can't wait for this it's going to be one of the best racing simulators if not the best.

And with modding tools used by the development team it will be epic.

[Fear Deer]

Can't wait. The first images of the game didn't get me hyped, but oh boy this did.

Wonder how it will pace against pCARS, or how pCARS will pace against it :p

The ferrari looks great, and its sliding, in pCARS sliding isn't quite well done.

 

Can't wait till both of them are out here, and we can have a hands-on review!

[2CV SUPER GT]

If you like drift, there were a video from Gamecom 2012 where you can see Drift Mode Replay :

 

[Fear Deer]

Much easier to slide than in pCARS, in pCARS when you start to slide, your car turns into a boat.

[The Compensator]

Maybe one day we will have Oahu in AC if the game allows it. Or lots of tuning possibilities. Damnit. :panic:

[Damys]

Assetto Corsa will be better than gt5 / Forza 4;) the graphic and sound are stunning !

[2CV SUPER GT]

"The [Assetto Corsa] technology preview will be open to netKar Pro owners as we need to also test the activation method with their paycode and also as a tribute to their support. A proper demo will follow later for everyone else."

 

Technology demo will feature Magione racetrack and a "lightweight sportcar"

fixed that for you :D

[Ryzza5]

It's a nice start considering a few years ago hardly anyone could get BMW or Ferrari. It'll be interesting to see what the career mode is like since that will make the car list feel longer or shorter.

[2CV SUPER GT]

There is lot of mods already in wip for Assetto Corsa, Mini Cooper (old one), Toyota Supra Super GT, Mazda MX5...

 

I am myself modeling a BMW E34 (5), Citroen 2CV and working on a TDU-like environnement.

 

 

I still have the De Tomaso Vallelunga made for TDU, even I feel it not enough accurate, it can be a nice cobaye to test their dev tools. Xiorxorn is interested too, Ferrari 250 TR, Facel Vega and more are ready to go.

 

 

So, official car list is nice but nothing if we compare with what modding comunity will do :)

[Ryzza5]

Sounds great. Do you know if the mods will be of the same quality as the game or will we see things like TDU modding where some are much better quality than others?

[2CV SUPER GT]

Game is said from the devs as having 70k poly cars.

 

I think most of the modders are thinking that more than 100k is an impossible way and it will create FPS issue.

 

I am planning more than 500k for my BMW and 2CV too. But depending on how the game engine run with it, I can try to modelize more thing like tire treat and all the side letters in 3D, engine, and more. Actually the 500k Poly are used for an extremely accurate and smoothed shape (without any smoothing tools, it's still hand made work cause optimization mesh). Goal is to develop features aiming to have all car functions working on the cockpit, until Airbag.

 

The Supra will be extrem too, I think 1 million polys... Shadowworks | Works Blog

 

About the modding quality, the actual projects in Assetto are quite very good quality. People that show something before the game released, don't take risk. I think there will be less mods than TDU1 had, especially less ripped models. Most of the modders should be serious modders, looking for racing car/championship, doing themselves their models, working on teams, and respecting 70k polys standard. Not as much as rFactor but quite some of them. Of course, less supercar and more oldies and prototype/F1.

 

But about me, it's just a new and better TDU and lot of people planning to use Assetto to drive, not to race. There will be probably never traffic, but 8 players + 3 traffic cars is really better than 32 players ride and no traffic? Especially on a country roads environnement where there is no traffic anyway. Who miss the traffic lags and their poor quality model except people playing solo?

 

 

Djey is working on new mod installer for manage installationn group. example : user can choose what texture quality he want, what model quality, sound quality, managing himself his ressources for a lighter mod if he have old PC and play 30 player online race, or a playsatstion 5 tech demo lookslike if he play TA solo with the last alienware released.

 

Problems we had with TDU in managing different physics on the database will be not on Assetto, modding there is just standalone addons.

[ScoobSTi]

The game supports map/location mods as well? This just might be our savior after all.

[Ryzza5]

Can't wait. Which website is central to all these modders?
