Assetto Corsa Competizione - 2021-2022-2023-2024 Generic discussion

Agree. I'm in the middle of a "break" from ACC. Its been about 2 weeks since I've played. I'll be back to it soon.

I took a break as I was starting to get frustrated, after multiple nights in a row of working hard through qualifying to be in the first few rows, only to get punted on lap 1 within the first 4 or 5 turns in every race I did by some no talent *** clown, I started to think "maybe its me". My SA got knocked down a few points and I just said screw it I'm taking a break.

Glad to see others are noticing that public lobbies aren't getting any better. I'm hoping SimGrid US daily race servers start filling up better and I will maybe stick to that.

 

I'm no expert on that, but I guess a system where you can report people would be either too complicated, too expensive or there'd be too many people with a short fuse reporting every little situation. I mean basically evertime you read "idiot" in the chat there'd be a report right there and mostly driving on public servers I read that A LOT.

Additionally I think Kunos underestimated the boredom of some people that would farm SA in SP to play "the moving chicane" online

 

I'd rather the devs work on new content and improving the sim rather than watching thousands of reports just because some guy accidentally missed his braking marker.

 

I'm not talking about a report system mate.
It should not be possible to stop the entire race at the track. In addition to that it should be also not possible to park alongside the track the whole time and create yellow flag warnings for 30min.

A cap for farming in SP would be nice

 

There is only one scenario where I think it's a little harsh to prevent "parking" besides the track and that is in long endurance races where I don't know what could happen where you need to take a little break immediatley without completly destroying your or anybodie else's race. Other than that I don't see any reason why people shouldn't be ported back into the pits if they park anywhere for too long.

 

if you have "dashboard display in hud" on in the view settings, the borders will flash yellow and red just like the gear/speed hud widget

 

yeah the AP CP servers have been pretty good... though I disagree with back markers knowing what blue flag means... unless they just aren't aware they have a driver behind them or that they are about to be lapped... but the front 3rd of the pack have been very good of late on CP servers and SimGrid Daily races.

 

Got it Thank you very much.

 

Ok I'm ready for the next game from KS Hope we get some news soon

 

McLaren 720S GT3X

 

Same experience with CP here, mostly good.

Blue flags have been a problem....on normal tracks you can deal with it but on tighter tracks like Brands or Oulton, a bad lapped driver can ruin your race. It's probably a tough one to address though, not sure how you could enforce it without stewards.

 

Something to keep in mind though is that in this GT3 series lapped cars are under no obligation to move over instantly for anyone. This is different to what most are use to from F1 where a blue flag means you need to get out of the way.

I know a lot of leagues use the F1 rules but when racing on public servers I would assume GT3 rules. When people do move over then much thanks to them, when they don’t, well that’s racing and seeing as I’m lapping them good chance I’m much faster so should have no issue passing somewhere safely.

Sometimes you will get held up, other times the person you are chasing or is chasing you will, you win some you lose some

 

As Justin mentioned, Brands or Oulton are not really large open tracks that makes passing a blue flag an easy task, I don't expect instant get out of my way type of compliance at all, but when I'm sitting behind you for over half a lap waiting to get passed it does get slightly frustrating.

Goes to my previous point, they are either oblivious or don't know I'm a lap ahead due to not running the right MFD screen to tell them...

 

Ahh the goat tracks...

 

they couldn´t refrain themselves

 

With the quickest and toughest AI.

 

If there's any more people around who, like me, spend the first 30 minutes of the evening to decide which track and car combo to drive vs the AI and own an Apple device, I made an iOS Shortcut that will make the decision for you.

Just start the shortcut and it will:

1. Randomly select any of the 19 tracks
2. Randomly select a season (2018, 2019, 2020, ICGT, BGT, GT4, Porsche Cup, ST)
3. Depending on the season selection randomly select a matching car
4. Output the track, season and car.



If there's others interested please let me know, I'll find a place to share the shortcut.

 

Nope, it wasn't him but I also encountered "The Moving Chicane".

 

Yes please, life with a newborn child has severely impacted my time on ACC so this would be helpful.
I love sim racing but the last 2 years or so it’s been so difficult to get enough time for things so every second helps

 

Wonder if we will ge the BMW M4 GT3 and the 992 Porsche GT3 R in the game once these will be raced irl. The 992 Cup already looks sexy as hell.
