The big 1.5 speculation and dream thread

Which at the moment isn't the case because (for me) the ghost car starts at the same position as me, but gradually pulls away over the course of the lap, yet I post "fastest" times.

I did one last night in the Abarth 500 Essess, Ghost car started the lap the same as me, by Brooklands it was ahead of me, by Hangar Straight it was way ahead, yet when I crossed the line.... Fastest lap, in fact amazingly I did a RSR WR... so... dunno. Something doesn't seem right.

 

Back in speculation land, I see a 'little' fiat abarth coming

 

Need Subaru!!!

 

I need the 1.5 version of Assetto Corsa. Cant wait! goddamit

 

Haven't used ghost car in ages as apps with delta timing lets me know if I'm faster or not

 

I think the default delta app is pretty messed up to... there is a mod app that seems to work correctly though so not really a problem

 

Like a Fiat 124 ABARTH ????

If we have the MX5, we could get this one too....

 

I explained to him my point of view, in this post http://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/i...ion-and-dream-thread.31215/page-7#post-652422

 

I don't know what the used to record before, but if they're using this now, their audio quality should be a lot better

Based on personal experience, it's a pretty darn good little recorder if they have it set up right. This is also from their 2015 and beyond post.

 

More like the one on the right

 

It is Nice too , easier to park.

 

It is sorely lacking in multiplayer visual damage effects

 

This is something that I'm amazed still hasnt been added. The damage model itself isnt great but it would be nice to see those that bang their cars up so we can see who we need to watch out for more. Nonpoint having visual damage if we cant even see it on any other cars.

This along with time progression with changing temps and also more control in pits. Have a default pit app like the one made as a 3rd party mod, also allow us to make pressure/aero changes in atops if wanted.

Add to this pre race strategy but as the app is this can be used for pre race strategy already. It just makes it pretty pointless to change compounds in many cars ifnyou cant change pressures. Over longer races if time progression is added and also this includes temp changes we would need to be able to change pressures during a run.

 

doubt we will ever get this. It would require a rework of all models. For old "tin tops" procedural damage may be imaginable, but modern carbon GT cars don't dent like metal did

 

All the cars have visual damage already if you race ai or see your own car in the replay. Its just in mp we dont see others damage, we can see the other cars get dirty which is strange but just dont see the damage.

 

Just to add to the speculations:

A recent tweet lead to this: http://www.amazon.com/Going-Nowhere-Assetto-Corsa-2016-03-23-ebook/dp/B00NS918M4/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8

An ebook on AC (?!), with this in the description:

2016-03-23—add handling guides for version 1.5.x cars Abarth 595, C7 Stingray, and Mustang GT; add information about Tyre Model 7; include information on the latest improvements in graphics performance and track surface

Any ideas on what those could be? Are we suppose to get something in regards to track surface?

 

Do we know yet if those last few cars using the v4 tyre model have been upgraded?

 

Yeah i highly doubt they havent updated the cars after how long its been. 1.4 seemed to be a bit rushed due to the smaller then normal gap between it and 1.3

bet they are all v6 or v7 or v8 or whatever it is now.

 

We don't know anything for certain but it was mentioned they were updating as many cars as possible to the new tyre model, but things can happen. Next thursday we'll know for sure!
