Let's play Game Designer

Yes, most likely something like this. A thing for AC2 then, hopefully.

Anyway, Kunos, great job with 1.5, really love how things are getting better and better, thank you very much for this great sim!

 

I'm currently struggling simulating brakes with ISIMotor2. This has a fixed heat input with braking torque, a fixed heat loss per degree of heat difference and a fixed heat loss per degree of heat difference and per vehicle speed.

When you actually look into the real physics you find the specific heat capacity of cast iron varies hugely with temperature, as does its conductivity. You find that heat loss through radiation varies as the 4th power of temperature difference and that convective heatloss in a flow of air isn't directly proportional to the air's velocity. Its very complicated and that's before you get into looking at the heat flow of a brake disc surrounded by a wheel.

People also seem to be confusing fade with wear. Brake pads are changed in endurance races because they wear, not because they fade. In F1 its the wheel which wears and wear is very temperature dependent. I believe the issue in F1 with brake temperatures is more about avoiding catastrophic disc failure through wear rather than brake fade. ISIMotor2 with its roots in EAs F1 sims simulates disc wear rather than pad wear and when your disc reaches a critical thickness there is a probability it will fail.

 

Where is the "return to 1.4" optional?

 

@Michael Hornbuckle No need to play fun police. Clearly Stefano is looking at where to take AC in their next future update. I'm just playing game designer for the day and trying to help, its all good.

 

Sorry for OT:
First of all (and please don't take this as an offense) I don't like the thread name "Lets play game designer". It gives me a bad feeling to be taken seriously. Also I don't like sometimes the way the thread is moderated.
But this my personal opinion not an attack to anybody. And please don't ban me...

I like the idea which might behind it.

To the poll:
I don't have a favorite of the suggested options except VR stuff (unfortunately I don't own) and the skin pick up thing. Sparks and flashlights are not important for me. Its more a graphical asspect.
For me as a simracer all these things important in a simracing game. And I don't have an order of importance.
All these stuff from the poll gives more experience of racing. Just the fact that you are responsible for all these things during a race adds more immersion to the game. You can loose your race already at the start with false start or during the race with wrong driving style or a bad pit stop strategy. Or you're to fast in the pit and get a drive through penalty. Or you driving like the hell and you loose slowly your brakes.

Also I would like the opportunity to add more cars to the tracks. On the Nordschleife it is sometimes lonely also with 32 opponents.

So after all I've chosen the pit stop strategy with the opportunity to force the numbers of pit stops during the race. IMHO it would add the most immersion to the game of all other poll options.

Sorry for the long post

Why is there not a "Good online races with penalties for dirty players" option?

 

so true.

We, the good men of the League Of Justice, the one and only Church Of Simulation Value should have run primary elections before challenging the almighty VR Mafia.. and now look at this.. we're being murdered

 

In the end I also voted for VR, because it's in my opinion the future and logical step after triples. I'm already planning to get one later this year, when it's more obvious if Rift or Vive is the better one.

 

In the name of triple screen glorious experience - for VR vote you do not!

 

Voted for false start/engine stall but don't really care, I'm just glad all those features are being considered to be included... someday...

 

I know I know.. simracers are sad lonely individuals.. please try to bear with us trying to actually have some fun.. I'll try to turn down the music a bit so you can go on being sad and grumpy.

 

Vr support please for HTC Vive

 

Voted engine stall but i wish for steam workshop

Things are much more clear now

 

This it was I'm talking about. Seriously for what reason are you making fun about people who shares your opinion with you?

 

A true hardcore simracer at its finest. If you are happy you can't be a simracer, simple as that.

I finally voted, for brake temp. Although I'm still not sure if it was a right call. Oh decisions decisions.

VR mafia is going hard in this one. I'd check if they didn't bribe any of KS team members, if I were you Stefano.

 

Not a hard decision for me: I choose VR support (t's the one feature, that makes me spend much more hours in Assetto Corsa, than in Automobilista and rFactor 2), but it's not the only important thing and i don't need Oculus Rift CV1 support yesterday. But it would be really, really awesome if VR support (with a working user interface, take a look at how it works in Live for Speed) could become a priority for Kunos after the console release. But please add support for the Vive too. Supporting only the Oculus Rift would be like supporting only Logitech wheels or only Nvidia GPUs.

Another feature i'd like to see in the near future: Custom championships. To be honest: I don't like the career mode in Assetto Corsa at all and i think it's the worst part of Assetto Corsa. It feels like something from a Forza or Gran Turismo game.

 

Stefano, in the dev blog it mentioned some kind of cooperation with a brake manufacturer? That wouldn't be Brembo would it?

My personal top 3 from the list would be;

1, engine stall, false start
2, brake temps
3, water temps \ radiators

 

honestly I tried to take you seriously but I failed... I like to think you are being sarcastic, call me naive, I still trust humans after so many years of interwebz, how silly of me.

 

I am hard core simracer
brake temps for me
