Assetto Corsa Competizione - Generic discussion

True.

And if you like to see cars being smashed there is always BeamNG out there.

 

I like the nice little visuals we currently have ACC. When bonnet folds up its rather cool. Some mechanicle failures would be nice though if your not driving correctly over a long stint. Regarding other tittles I think PC1 was better than PC2 and the damage model only worked some of the time. Could you imagine T1 Monza with a iR type model. I can... what a mess

 

I think a good damage model adds immersion, but its difficult to do right.

 

As far as i'm concerned, it's specifically important for iR, due to their approach, which relies a lot on live streams, endorsements by real life racing drivers, and a sophistictaed league system. All things which can get more people to subscribe. As far as i'm concerned, i'd take a decent FFB, and a better tyre model over such a damage system every day. But, yeah, it is impressive, no doubt. IMO, there's other construction sites they should rather be working, and improve on, though.

 

It is simply part of a sim for me to feel and see damage.

 

I'd like to have it too, but it's waaay down my feature request list. ACC has other construction sites, which are more urgent, IMO.

 

Look how much time went since first presentation of new damage model for iRacing. A year? So it's in development probably for like 2 years. Way more than ACC is available for public. I personally wouldn't want Kunos to use their time and resources on things like that.

 

Anyone else had their AC2 icons changed to the Unreal icon?

 

yeah mate it changed in 1.0.7 b P3. Devs are aware

 

Tasty...

 

W O W
Simply amazing

 

Looks really good.
I get the feeling that the detailed damage model is a precursor to a complex safety car mechanic for Iracing. Not sure all the effort is purely for eye candi.

 

I personally have no real interest in cars falling to pieces when they hit a wall , I just want to know what damage my car as obtained during as a result of an accident , like in AC,

 

Why? Surely as long as the damage affects the car correctly, being able to see it seems like a serious waste of resources which could better be used for other things. How many times, for real, would you be able to see external damage to your car from the inside? Very few, I'd guess.

 

that is what replays are for, and since ACC do have replays.......

 

There are a couple of other cars on the track which can suffer damage as well. And I (please respect my opinion) would like to see damage on those cars in case of touching each other or the barrier somewhere. Currently it is a bit strange to see cars get real hard hits and continue driving as if nothing has happened (especially AI) and without serious damage.

 

Damage on other cars, replays, visual feedback on your own damage... Really don't know why this is getting questioned at all - it doesn't detract from the simulation, it's part of the experience, part of a full-fledged simulation of the real thing. And you'd probably be able to disable visual damage in the settings anyway if it was performance-intensive.

But rudimentary visual damage would be far more forgivable if the mechanical damage (and collisions - still hoping for more realistic tyre walls and barriers one day...) were really well done. And as Aris post about it shows, the devs recognise that they could do more in that area.

 

It's been said a few times by Kunos to not expect much more development in this area. For anyone hoping for a beefed up damage model, I'd suggest better start trying to let those ideas go from their heads, as it may only lead to frustration and further bickering... I think the kunos boys are plenty smart enough to do it, and possibly might find the new challenge refreshing and enjoyable however they must have their list of reasons why not to do it.

 

More like five to six years. There was a 'Cat Herder' blog years and years ago that featured info about a new dev they hired specifically for this.

 

Re v1.07. Still no fix for the Monza loading problem in Single Player, Nice to be able to resize the Hud but would prefer to be be able to individually move each element and as I don't really need speed and gear I'd like to see the fuel information incorporated into the tire app.
Otherwise everything running beautifully. Thank You.
