AC and real life behavior

I just need to post this because I was blown away...


Last week a colleague of me showed me this video from Nürburgring Nordschleife with the SCG003:

0:00 - 0:17


I found it amazing that the car lifts the front up when going over the crest before approaching Schwedenkreuz, haven't thought that this is even possible there (was of course way slower on my 2 real life laps there and remembered it not as this big).

The other day I thought "let's see how AC handles this car there", fired up AC, default setup and took the car out. Guess what?












The same thing happens in AC there !



I was amazed after I saw it in the replay!

These are the little moments where I think Kunos has really done a SUPERB JOB with the physics @Aristotelis.

 

Simulation value confirmed.

 

That's amazing indeed. I love comparisons like this one, it makes me feel so good when driving AC and knowing this. I know how hard it is to make physics simulation and the level of complexity they achieved in AC is just unbelievable.

 

Yeah, but schwedekreuz speeds (the corner after) are still far too high (even with 95% grip and 9° track temperature) Speeds in general are far too high for SCG003C, unless it has no BOP applied to it. There is no way that a GT3 car can do 295kph down the Dottinger hohe into Tiergarten with 2-7 wing config... But still, 1.5 is an amazing improvement for GT3s, they actually feel, like they have grip

 

I bet u guys can't do this there

 

I was actually happy to see the guy step out from behind the car on his own, that could've ended a lot worse. Comes to show how safe cars are becoming though!

 

Safe or not, the driver of that car was extremely lucky to walk away from that.

 

Hellz yeah, Kudos to Kunos.

 

Why not make this thread a collection of comparison videos/pics? Would be nice and maybe useful for devs, too...

 

Holy sh** it happened again... sorry for ot but it shocked me when i read that and thought about my post here few days ago.

Wonder if anyone could replicate this kind of a crash in AC.. i don't think it's possible, collisions and "guardrails physics" are not up to par with reality i guess

 

I saw someone make a pretty good effort this evening (at Black Cat County Short) to emulate that "head over heels" crash. I think it was a white Ferrari F40, and the guy piled it at the first corner. You know, that "right, followed by tight left" combo that appears to have been deliberately designed for T1 disasters The car flew up into the air, and then bounced back across the track. Very impressive.

 

Why would it have BOP applied? It's not GT3 homologated.

 

it is not GT3 homologated, but it is gt3 spec... so it is a gt3 car and it competes against other gt3 cars IRL and in game.

 

I saw an real Alpha 4C driving around Adelaide the other day, which is pretty rare, and did some laps in it around Nords in AC. If that's a realistic model, I'd say that's a pretty fine little car, quick, very stable and predictable. I always had trouble with the Lotus road cars in AC, the 4C is a winner.
If I had $100 AUS, I'd love to have one (if you can find one....)!
Any 4C drivers out there that can comment?

 

Well, idk... the race car with (even with BoP applied) 530PS, 700Nm and 1350kg, that does supposedly a lap time of 6:42 around the Nordschleife... it got to be quick. And while it aims to be a GT3 car it's not always racing in GT3 classes so it's not clear what regulations apply. It raced in A6-Pro at Mugello but it races in SPX (for cars that don't fully comply to regulations) instead of SP9 (GT3) at VLN and we presumably got the VLN spec ingame as it's listed with the specifications I mentioned previously. And in the following video the car reached close to 280km/h at Fuchsröhre and Döttinger Höhe in traffic without being anywhere close to reaching the limiter and without pushing it hard on the cold track (there was snow on track the day before and the session start was delayed because of foggy conditions).

 

Whoops, just noticed I wrote the wrong section, I meant *Schwedenkreuz. He went easy through Fuchsröhre.

On topic, can only agree with OP. When I first drove the Nordschleife ingame feeling the car lift off in some sections was just awesome and scary. And the game is also replicating the car itself really well down to the creaking of the chassis, maybe even the closest to the real thing (at the time as it's still developed) of all cars in the game.

 

The GT86 is spot on as well. There's a whole thread on it.

 

I'm not talking about top speed at Schwedenkreuz, I'm talking about corner speeds. You can go 260kph through it with no sweat on kind of bad conditions. Now, the z4 on a nice day in clean air with high DF cannot do 260kph through there... Well, that's a lie, it could probably do it, but it would be very eventful (Keep in mind that the z4 is the grip lord of GT3) And as for the "final" straight goes, you cannot expect banging the limiter at 295 with high aero configuration... Cars run out of juice before reaching 280... It doesn't bother me, I'm not saying there is no simulation value, all I'm saying is, that I doubt it is possible.

I could as well be wrong, but I don't really care, because the cars are awesome to drive in this patch and I really don't care about the "realism" of the GT3 class, because there is just too much variables influencing the final result
