From the twitter

Electrically controlled dampers, soft rubber bushing used in suspension, damper hysteresis, tender/helper springs, chassis flex etc..

There are lots of things in normal road cars that could be added as features in ac. Not all of them make the cars handle better though.

 

While I certainly have my own personal preferences when it comes to what kind of cars and/or tracks that I prefer to drive in Assetto Corsa, I DO want Kunos to continue providing us with a diverse range of vehicles. A) It allows for a much more diverse user base which equals more money which means A.C. will continue to develop. If A.C. was strictly street cars, we would lose a LOT of players and vice versa if the sim were only open-wheel race cars, for instance. B) While I don't often jump into open-wheel or Formula One cars, knowing that they are there allows me the opportunity to expand my own personal preferences in the future. Again, if AC were to focus solely on one type of car class, which several games already do, I think we would all lose out in many ways.

Just like in real life, I'm certain that when the developers are working on the latest open-wheel racer, they probably learn/discover something that can then be translated into their street cars and that benefits everybody. I'm greedy. I want more cars, more tracks, more features, etc...but, I also want Kunos to continue to providing us with outstanding quality components. That takes time. So, if the next update or free car/track isn't something that necessarily benefits me right away, I'm okay with that. It probably will some day and even if it doesn't, I know it will benefit thousands of others immediately and that keeps AC relevant in the sim world which means I will eventually get something that is right up my alley.

I came to Assetto Corsa with very limited virtual driving/racing experience. Gran Turismo 6 is my only other exposure to the virtual race world. And while it is sim-cade, there are many positive things to be said about that game. Unfortunately, the same can't really be said about the interaction between the developers and the players. I am absolutely blown away to see the developers responding to questions, often in an extremely quick fashion, on these forums. I get such a wonderful feeling every time I see a developer respond to a player. It really shows that they care about keeping the community informed and that was completely the opposite when I was involved in the GT6 world.

 

I think best to avoid too many mod cars in a public server. If you do maybe just stick to one and run it on its own. People dont want to have to download 5 mods and install them to jump in a server in a stock car.

For a league run or closed group where you can easily link all content its not as much of a problem but for a pub server id pass especially on the more obscure mods or any dodgy rips.

 

No point in getting race cars if you can't race them properly.... lol

 

I just want to point out that my disinterest in modern race cars does not mean that I would prefer to see Kunos stop making them. That would be selfish. Releasing a wide range of car types in the DLC packs is the best way to make sure that all AC users get at least something that interests them. Others have suggested releasing "single make" (eg. Lamborghini) or "single type" (eg. GT3) packs, but that would (IMO) be a bad idea.

 

Looks like our beloved SCG003C got a respectful award:

finally sth twitter related! thanks!

 

I surprisingly liked the 003C much more than I thought. It understeers like a pig on default setup however it just feels more alive and moves around more than the other GT3 kinda cars. It makes an interesting sound too.

 

I also liked how it drives compared to others of its kind.

 

Just saw an interesting post on Racedepartment that talked about a video interview with Kunos. The video is in Italian, but I think this post resumes in English. Or use youtube english auto subtitles, but I think in this video the auto eng subs aren't good.

"Marco Massarutto told in a video posted by ACItaly that within this week would be released 1.3.5 with Audi R8 Plus and some features about multiplayer latency.

About half of December will be released Dream Pack 3 with Brands Hatch laser scan and 7 new cars: Lotus 25 di Jim Clark, la Lotus 72 D, la McLaren 650 GT3, la Mercedes AMG GT3, la 500 Abarth Assetto Corsa e la Ford Escord Mk.1 (I missed last one).

Before Xmas there will be a free content and on 31st DEC will be announced a new Brand license.
That's all I know till the end of the year"

Then I just searched for ACItaly on google and found their youtube channel:

 

Wait what?

Thank god it's there, otherwise it would be the worst set of cars from all DPs for me.

Let's play a game, shall we?
Aston Martin.

 

well they just dropped one hell of a content bomb on us. Well at least the assetto corse is finally coming to assetto corsa.

 

And that´s a whole lot of amazing stuff to look forward to! The rest of the year will be awesome!

 

Porsche isnt a bomb, its closer to a nuke or meteor. Im pretty sure id have heart problems for a few weeks if they got that license as i wouldnt be able to function effectively after being that hyped.

 

the horrible thing about getting a porsche license is choosing what cars to license. Porsche pretty much have the largest selection of worthy cars to license. Seriously picking around 10 porsches would be a very hard task.

 

I didnt like neither cars or track from DP2, but I have it.
I am inlove with brand's hatch and I felt bad when I couldn't find it in AC, but when I've learned it will be in AC, I cannot explain how happy I was.

I didn't like single car in that DLC tho, I may drive Ford Escort and 500 Abarth, but but
I know we'll have AE86 and we currently have GT86 it'll be amazing to drive those on Brand's Hatch, also Lotus Elise, Exige, BMW M3 E30 will be amazing too.

I hope the new License is Mazda, please make it Mazda or Honda or Aston Martin, Jaguar
I would love to see Honda or Mazda but we know Honda used Assetto Corsa for a Contest in England, so it really may be Honda after all.

 

i have around 100ish laps around it in reality with my fathers 330ci. hopefully i can find a car similar to that so i can test out how it actually compared, i know the circuit pretty well.
