Update 1.2

There is nothing wrong with that

 

That with the Porsche 2019 and the Aston 2019 is a known problem with the new cars. That is the reason why I drive the old Porsche 2018.

 

Thank you sir and very well written. My posts are not intended to be disrespectful or critical of the developers of ACC or other sim racers, and I don't want to start a comparison between racing sims. Most of my sim racing experience comes from using Rfactor and Rfactor2 over the past 12 years. My favorite race cars are Lemans prototypes and use the RF2 LMP2 Oreca most of the time. I turn off all assists except ABS with difficulty set at 95-100 depending on track. I use the base setup, only slightly changing the brake bias and traction control and never had major handling issues at the end of my stints. This might be due to the difference between LMP2 and GT3 cars, or the physics in RF2 are more forgiving than ACC for a intermediate sim racer. Racing against the AI in ACC is a diamond in the rough, and I will work on my set up and look forward to future updates that will inevitably improve the sim experience for me.

 

It would be interesting and very useful to see a delicious explanatory blog about the functions in the configuration tab, because it is quite complex to understand how some changes affect the physics of the car.

 

I just signed on my game here at work and see that my version is now 1.23

 

Yeah, mine's reading 1.2.3 as well.

I think it happened last time with update to 1.2.1, when I could swear mine was reading 1.2.2.

I'm not on the beta channel as far as I know.

 

they released 2 hotfixes today.

 

Really enjoying the 1.2.1. update (+ Hotfixes). Two comments/questions after extensive testing:

- Has the AI difficulty been re-calibrated/re-scaled? I'm a terminal mid-pack driver who found the pre-update AI race pace at Brands Hatch a little too quick at 1:24 to 1:26 at 88% difficulty. Post-update, the AI is too slow for me at 88%, race-lapping at > 1:28. I'm happy to turn up the AI difficulty level, just curious about this.

- As I posted in Troubleshooting, I cannot successfully pit out in the McLaren 720S after reloading a saved game. What happens every time is strange: on exiting the pit box, there is anomalous FF output, the car seems to drop and steering becomes unmanageable, it's as though the suspension has collapsed.

I would appreciate your comments. This remains the best sim I've ever driven and it just keeps getting better.

 

for what it’s worth, I am driving the new AMR extensively and haven’t experienced these poor changes in the FFB that were mentioned. I’m using a Fanatec csl elite though, so perhaps it’s a g25 problem?

 

ive noticed something similar myself. At Barcelona, against 95% AI, I seem to be a little quicker than they are where before it was more even. One of the reasons is that every time I race there, there is a BMW AI driver who is way off the pace causing AI to train behind him.

 

Two questions for Developers (I beg your answer as a Christmas gift....)
1_ did you increase the amount of sparks when car touches down ?
2_ did you slightly increase the amount of (graphical) body damage ?
If so I really appreciate and I kindly ask if there' s any plan about adding more particle effects to the sim gameplay (Marco forgive me if I use the the word "game").
Thank you very much again for the enjoyment you deliver to us with ACC.

 

#2 is an entry in the changelog...

 

oh Yes I saw it, but my priority is the third question................ ;-)

 

I would like to post an update to my progress. Thank you Aris, Chriss, and Captain Barracuda, with your tips I have been able to set up my car and get predictable handling throughout the length of my stint. Woo Hoo!

 

Hey Guys,
any idea: Driving ASTON Martin, have some problems that in nearly every race i have loss of grip after about 10-12 minutes driving in the race. Brake ducts are finde, tyre and brake temperature also.

Problem occurs with the update 1.2, no way to fix it. Any ideas?

 

it's a bit generic question.
I also run in the Aston, but i haven't noticed this kind of problem. I've done about 10 races (20 / 30 / 40mins) with this car, between single and multiplayer.

 

This explains why I struggle with the Lambo for a few laps at about the 10 minute mark...

 

Thanks for explaining how the tyres work, i asked the question for a friend which drives the Aston. Was the tyre behaviour changed in 1.2?

Myself is driving Porsche, i can confirm a little bit of performance loss after a few laps, sometimes with more or less understeer, but i can handly it with changing brake balance.

 

The Audi EVO will literally try to kill you (and your family... and your dog... and your boss...) when the grip drops... still worth the risk, what an stunning machine.

Spoiler: and...

and your friends and your mother in law and your cousin your niece and her friends and the postman and the guy in the corner store... that thing is passive aggressive...
