Assetto Corsa Competizione - Generic discussion

I prefer quality over speed. Fast and incomplete patches can produce more frustration.

 

Should have said that before the game released lol.

 

Oops, did I say it improved handling? I was referring to a sense of connectivity to the virtual car being improved but, I understand not everyone cares about that. Tactile effects and kinetics are a very big part of the sim experience for me but, very few titles actually model the drive-train to the extent where the effects can be felt in motion. ACC does have some slight affect (perhaps gear-lash) but, not component elasticity (drive-shaft / half-shaft torsional-flex - for example). AC had a canned effect that could be heard in the audio but, is not felt in motion. Many race-cars and classic cars can have pretty extreme drive-train effects, even violent at times. If you watch racing videos, you can often notice the car lurching to and fro when shifting / on-off the throttle, etc., especially in the pits or during warm-up. It's obvious in the sounds (to onlookers) but, much more so for the driver through kinetics.

I believe Michael is mistaken when he refers to iRacing's DT modeling being canned as it correlates too well with motion effects and audio in a very direct way; the subtleties of which can only come through an effective physical model. I suspect RaceRoom's system may be a bit less complex because the subtleties are not quite as evident in the same way but, still very effective in motion overall.

 

I thought we will get 0 day patch

 

Thank you for sharing your profound economic wisdom Michael.

The only experts here that matter are the ones on the Kunos team. I'm certain they can get the details right if they deem it important enough but, that's not up to me.

Since you own a big shotgun (my version of a waste of money), maybe you'll have more sway.

 

Worth a try, I guess. Yo @Aristotelis did any of the teams give you their data for drive train component elasticity (drive-shaft / half-shaft torsional-flex - for example)? It seems that iracing managed to get that data for every car they licensed, how about you guys?

And along similar lines, did any of the teams allow you to twist their frames on some kind of dyno in order to gather chassis flex data, you know, like they (apparently) did for iracing and rf2?

 

To be honest I thought they were going to release a day 1 patch, as there were many problems and they were quite obvious lol.

 

For some reason VR is working pretty good for me, not sure cause of 1.0.1 or cause of i added this to the engine.ini

[ConsoleVariables]
r.AmbientOcclusionLevels=0
vr.RoundRobinOcclusion=1

Sometimes the ASW will randomly go weird

 

Aha, good point! Realism doesn't matter in the drive-train, only in FFB. Got it.

 

I am so glad that Nordschleife is not in this game and I hope it stays that way.

 

“said no one ever”

there fixed it for you...

 

I hope you're wrong here.

 

When I got my Geko GS-105, I tested Iracing and RF1 and I have to admit that even if I preferred AC physics by far, there was more information that went into my geko with Iracing and RF1, so we could better feel what the car was doing in AC, basically the car seemed more alive and informative in iracing / RF1 than in AC.
Just an example in Iracing and RF1 I could feel the elevation change, this feel has always absent in AC (ACC), so canned effect or not, I confirm that some information is missing in AC (ACC) and that is why Iracing / RF seem above on the level of feel in a motion rig.
That said, I have a blast on AC / ACC, but it is true that with these effects and more it would be ecstasy.

 

I wonder why Subaru & Mazda don't compete in GT3...

 

This is avery good point,with all these games booking the track there are not more slots available...

 

Well I for one don't want it and would rather see Kunos not wasting resources to making it.

 

I would give up an entire GT4 DLC in order to have the Ring. (seriously doubt we will ever get it though since it isn't part of any Blancpain series)

 

Seriously how far would you go to get it? $10, $20, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1000, a left pinky, a left thumb, a left ball sack.....? yeah but no seriously whats your price...?

 

$20-$25

 

Free Nords in ACC for life or 1 lap in a real GT3 at Nords?
