Generic "Ready to Race" DLC Console Release

good one

 

Clearly they are awful with giving information about next releases
Massive confusion among versions across platforms , we have now a 1.14 version on Console that do not match with the PC version.
Xbox is still behind.
If you ask info on Facebook or in this support website no one from Kunos replies, so I am sincerely asking what is the point of even wasting a second on this questions?

Still the Assetto Corsa game is the best simulator for consoles, so let's just wait till September when Project Cars 2 comes out and we get a better support and hopefully a better racing experience.

 

The console version will never be on par with the PC's current version until development has stopped. It is always going to be at least a month behind.

 

The console version will never be on pair with PC version because its made completely different.
Don't expect even if the PC version development stops that the console version will get on par.

Missing to much options and features.

By the way, new update 1.14.4 has been launched on PC version with new solid axle physics!

 

I dont know, what pippo10 said it's not madness. After the development with AC1 on PC is finished, Kunos could continuing developing the console version until it is on par with the PC version.

 

Even then, still to much difference between the console version and PC version in options and features..
we will get on par in physics and that's it.
Cause even FFB system on PC is quite different.

Since the launch that it isn't really a "port" but a different maked version of assetto.

Just like in 1.14 version... They finaly given us the tarmac settings, but not the customised one that can be used online.





Even in weather settings there's difference.



There's a lot of options and features missing... Offline and online..

 

I think your assumption is right. The AC console release is another product than PC with the same basic content but not with the same full packages. PC version born some years before and it is a total different machine so Imdo not think the console can really have in future exactly the same options PC have.
But in any case the console version can be for sure heavily improved. The time they spend to release improvement on the various platforms depends in large by the market share of each platform and by the eventual already existing contractual obligations: we do not know the conditions agreed with Steam, Sony, Microsoft...
The market drive. It is sorry to say but it is everywhere.

 

Do I have to do something to enable this 'solid axle physics' in AC?

 

On consoles? No, you have to wait to Kunos adds it.

 

im on PC, do i have to adjust an ini?

 

I dont know. This is the console section But from what Ive heard, it is a hot fix.

 

It's in the 1.14.4 update.
You don't have to enable nothing in the. Ini files.

 

cool cheers... i might be being a bit thick here, so what does it do?

from the alfa in the vid, i assume it simulates an axle rather than independent suspension like in f1.

if this is so have i been driving escorts etc without a solid axle?

 

True but I was really refering to the main game being on par with features and and such. I personally don't need every single option that is on PC ( though I'd prefer it). I should say though even if we have every single thing identical as PC it still won't be the same as we have have custom lobbies. Console master race.

Basically when going around corners the front wheel will now lift in those cars, and yes you have been driving the escort without a solid axle. They fudged the numbers to try to replicate it previously.

 

PC version as you can see in my post has also private lobbies / servers.
Only difference that they have to open them outside the game.
But they have quite some more options than us...

They promote also that the console versions would be like the PC version but with less AI cars and a graphic downgrade...

I don't forget that

 

I don't think it is an issue of market.. The more platforms you sell to the more money you earn.
Here the issue is Kunos approach to the game development which is really really frustrating for us who play on console.
They cannot call PS4 version 1.14 as it is completely different from 1.14 on PC.
As user you get the illusion you are playing the same game only to find out that is less features.
As I said, I hope they fix the tyre model on Project Cars 2 and I will put this game on the shelf.

 

From all the issues Assetto suffers on consoles, update nomenclature is probably the least of them (if it is a problem at all).

Theese PCars 2 comments are getting ridiculous...

 

I try to be more clear: all over the world the private companies goal is to make profit. For this reason normally the companies allocate resources/expenses in relation to the profit they can produce (payback) with these investments . In fact we know that Kunos have two different development teams one for PC and one for console. Simplifying the number of developers which Kunos will invest with the console team is proportional to the profit capacity of console market. Here explained the relation between market and development.
For sure we are missing if Kunos really optimized the console dev. team or if it is underestimated compared to the profit they are gaining by PS4/XB1 users.
Regarding the release code it is only a Kunos codification system and I do not really care about how they call the DLC but only about the content if them.

 

I didn't know they had a specific team for Console.. even worse
Of course is my opinion , but to me Kunos is simply saving money and time and not really focusing on Console. You need to explain to me how is possible that with version 1.14 we still cannot get the timings per sector or we cannot add as friend members of the same room.
What they do is try to put a really basic version not wasting too much time on it

 

But those private lobbies are not provided by Kunos. So we console players certainly have something that pc players don't. You have to jump through a hoop or 2 to set up a private lobby.
