Before ending the development of the Assetto Corsa 1?

Which of these resources will be added before closing the development of Assetto Corsa 1?

- dynamic climate (removed by bug in 1.10);
- manual pit stop speed with speed penalty (drive through);
- brake air intake adjustment;
- temperature of liquids (water, oil, etc.);
- sparks (removed by bugged since the early access version);
- real start lights in track

 

How many cars in rl have adjustable brake ducts? I'm aware F1 teams have variable sizes available but for GTs?

People go in about this feature but how many race cars actually have it?

 

The current GT I can not say. But the many old GT cars had. Remember GTR 1 and 2?

 

I know it was in game in GTR but you just don't seem to hear much about it in the real world. Some current GT3 cars have a radiator in the front bumper to allow brake cooling iirc.

 

I believe manual pit stops are coming to next patch update as mentioned by Lord Kunos, Temps of liquids would be fantastic as I use z1 Dashboard and half the dash is unusable because of the missing API data.
I think we will see some great things this year before they wrap up development.

 

With current GT cars they usually just duct tape over the brake intakes if they want them to get hotter. I think the official stance on that is "it's not your job to set them so don't worry about it" though, if it bugs you that much pretend your race engineer adjusted them to the appropriate setting every time you go on track.

 

Where he spoke it?

 

he didn't say anything about pit limiter, they were talking about mandatory pits and some pit app

 

I may have misinterpreted this in another thread. Reading between the lines

 

My guesses:
- dynamic climate (removed by bug in 1.10); 15%
- manual pit stop speed with speed penalty (drive through); 90%
- brake air intake adjustment; 0%
- temperature of liquids (water, oil, etc.); 0% (at most will be placeholder value, not physics related)
- sparks (removed by bugged since the early access version); 0%
- real start lights in track; 5%

 

What did dynamic weather do again?

 

I'd add engine stalling to the wishlist. Eventually ignition too.

I think water temperature is much more than just a value to adjust. It can get trickier than that.

I learned that when you use slip stream IRL, you are loosing on cooling, and if you slip stream too much then you overheat. At least with less modern cars thats for sure. I have watched a lot of videos of event from a track which I'm making, and E30 is quite popular car, they seem to never use a lot of slip streaming because then they overheat. They slipstream - starts to overheat - moves out from the slipstream. I think a lot of guys with other cars does this too. And there even isn't a lot of straights.

I think AC is short of "extras" like that.

AC2 wishlist I'd call this.

 

Water temperature is already in, but it's not really simulated. It rises a bit with engine rpm but I don't think it has a large or any effect on performance. No overheating. Oil is I believe definitely just placeholder though. Question as always will be available hard data to the studio.

If I remember right sparks were in the feature poll where Stefano said that all the choices are likely to get implemented at some point, so I wouldn't rate it at 0% probability. Just not exactly priority I guess.

 

Yeah water temps just now are purely for a visual effect, with no other consequences.

Whilst I've always held the opinion that water/oil temps are not necessary, as its something that kinda just should work and you never have to think about it - I kinda like the idea of having to manage temps in traffic like @mantasisg 2 says. You hear about it in F1, how in hot races temps can get too high if they are stuck in traffic for too long, its a nice element to play with. I don't think its a massive priority though.

 

I'm wondering why it isn't in AC. Simply because of different priorities or something else? Looking at some of the mod tracks it's possible.

 

Any chance that they ever fix saving the personal best from online sessions if you don't quit after a session? It's pretty annoying that they're not saved into personalbest.ini immediately but only when you quit a session. So you always have to manually correct the personalbest.ini according to the stats on Stacker.

 

Better statistics management would be helpful alright. I wonder are all those stats there waiting to be exploited?

 

Who said anything about closing the development of Assetto Corsa (1)?

 

I wish we´d see more than 1-2 new tracks a year, but that´s about it. I don´t expect much more of AC1 as it is, but I sure would like to see Kunos have the will and resources to make AC2.
