Full 1967 F1 grid in Assetto Corsa (getting closer)

Of course they need a license to use their names logos etc. but that's not what I meant.
Your reasoning for not licensing a certain car is that the manufacturer doesn't have too much (or non except one) models, but since KS doesn't get the license that allows them to use the whole car roster from that brand, but only certain models (except Lotus), it makes it irrelevant how many car models a certain brand has.

Yeah it's from 3 years ago, so maybe they got some other "full brand" license, but I think Stefano or Marco said in one of the streams the same thing as Aris in his post above.

 

So, in other words, it's exactly what I said all along:

Getting a full brand license (which is what they're doing far more times than not) is cheaper because you have many more cars you can make and sell, which makes it PROFITABLE.

Buying a license for a single car that hardly anybody has any interest in is NOT PROFITABLE. First off, it's all that maker has, so the price is almost always astronomical. Secondly, there simply aren't that many people interested in a one-off car as opposed to brands with multiple cars. That's just the way it is.

That's about the 4th time I've stated that. Why you keep arguing that point is completely and totally beyond me.

 

Ah now I remember, you are that guy from MR thread, right, should have known better.

Lol.

 

I find it very difficult to believe they paid an individual license on each car for all those Porches and all those Ferraris and all those McLarens.

 

Doesn't make it one bit less true.

 

Really?

Because they said themselves they had a license with Porsche in an interview that was only good for one year after EA's exclusive license ended:

But, whatever.

 

And here's the announcement of that license: http://www.virtualr.net/assetto-corsa-porsche-license-announced

 

Good luck with your wish. I'm sure Kunos will give it every bit of the time and consideration that it deserves.

 

What wish? I don't have one. I simply stated Kunos had a license deal with Porsche and other manufacturers and you people showed up bashing the hell out of me saying they didn't and that they paid for each and every car individually.

That's the entire problem: The folks that have the mod already, from what I'm told, stole it. So nobody wants to buy it from them because they allegedly have a history of bogus deals.

The only problem I have with it is that they're charging a rather large amount of money for what amounts to a copy and paste job from Grand Prix Legends. I mean, any Porsche pack cost a bit less than that and look how VERY well done they all are.

For me, that's the big deal: The present mod just isn't worth what they're asking for it. If it were 3 dollars I would buy it no problem. But 12 bucks? No way, man. Not for cars that simply are not very well done at all compared to what I get from Assetto Corsa for less.

 

What I mean is you can post on racedepartment.com and ask the modders to make the cars from scratch. Lately there are a few very good teams like RSS who are making plenty of good cars. They may consider making a 67 F1 car.

 

Again, it's already been done. That's where the link to the existing pay '67 mod is hosted right now.

 

I am not sure Racedepartment would have such link, as they don't accept mods with "uncertain" origin. Would you mind posting that link?

 

You're right. All that's left are discussion threads about it with videos. http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/f1-1967-mod-question.138297/

I think originally the link to them was there as well, but it has since been removed.

 

Here's a quick sample of the Eagle. I just loaded it up and ran a few laps on the default setup. It feels a lot like GPL did, only with better track graphics. The car is essentially the same. The only very poorly done thing are the tires. I mean, you're doing 190 mph and you can read the Goodyear on the side of them from the cockpit.

The brakes also feel more responsive, but maybe that's just me and the fact that it's 20 years later. Other than that, it feels almost exactly like GPL did.
