The official "NEWS FROM THE SOCIAL NETWORKS" thread

Fools running around like Chicken Little worried about when DLC will end for AC1 and the status of AC2, HAHAHHA.

Tons of cars and tracks currently available for AC yet some are constantly preoccupied with the next shiny thing they will drive for a week then completely forget about, with eyes to the sky for the next shiny thing, rinse, wash, repeat ad nauseam.

I think some are far too obsessed with consuming content in an unhinged and gluttonous fashion rather than appreciating the amazing variety of content we currently have.

 

There is a Maserati Gran Turismo in the game already. Maserati GranTurismo MC GT4.

 

@Epistolarius I meant the street car, the nuances of its GT-ness are pretty much lost in the racecar version.I'm not gonna complain, it's a bonus pack and for free, lots of streetcars, but I don't fancy a concept car that much instead of the real thing.Anyway, can't wait to try out Laguna Seca and the cars.Still haven't tried the Ferrari's, gonna be a nice Christmas for me with so many cars to try out when I get home .

@Automotive Supremacy The shifting animation in the livestream was for a manual gearbox .

 

I personally love the idea of getting some prototypes and other off the wall cars in ac. I admit ive always been jealous of gran tourismo having all those “vision gt” cars. They seem interesting to drive.

But really, made in Ukraine? Nothing against people there but the country is a complete mess at the moment.

 

So what ? You mean they can not find a little opportunity, to do a little business, improve...

Hey whats up, Ukraine, nothing against you, but you had some trouble, we know. So we thought that you better come talk with us when you will be super awesome, rich and kool.

 

Self-immolation I guess

 

Whats up, guys. Hello from Ukraine.
I heard about that wheel, even some guy from our local forum tried it. From his words - this thing is nice - but after "Momo racing" I think everything will be nice.

 

Being flight-simmer mostly, I can confirm that on "our" side of things, Russian "garage type" companies - Virpil, VKB, SlavDevice produce short runs of controllers, which mop the floor with "established" brands (yes, Thrustmaster, I'm looking at you), especially in mechanical design, precision and machining quality. Mostly for export to the West, obviously.

I can certainly imagine then a Ukrainian company trying to do the same in race-sim controllers niche, though whether these guys can pull it off, remains to be seen.

may I ask why?

 

Only about 4 weeks until the end-of-the-year-blog.

(Hopefully with news about AC:E. )

 

...

 

3 years anniversary day since release of AC and its just before Christmas, yet gives them a few days to fix any major issues should something happen.

 

@RufGTI Where's that clip?

 

I guess you know it, it's Heidfeld's crash that happened at the end of the first ever Formula E race in 2014. BTW Hamilton has already deleted this post.

 

Does that mean Lewis might try out Formula E? Mercedes has quit DTM for Formula E, right?

 

I've seen this multiple times, somehow it always shocks me, beyond dirty by Prost jr.

 

In Lewis' defence, he likely watched this video


...which was recently uploaded and doesn't say (in the video) where/when the clips were from.

If you don't pay any attention to FE, and you watch this video titled "Best Opening Day Drama! | Formula E in Hong Kong/Beijing" uploaded a day or two after the current opening race, I think its easy to mistake those cars/driers as present day cars/drivers.
