Thoughts For 0.5

I am more interested in physics tweaking, graphics optimization, and bug fixing.
New cars and tracks are welcome too

I personally don't care for Ai, no matter how good and advanced they are. They don't give me any satisfaction , when i beat them or vice versa

 

Looking forward to the next update, even if AI ends up not being ready in time after all. Hoping for either the Lotus 98T or T125

 

After watching Rush, I am absolutely keen as to give the Ferrari 312T a blast around some tracks

 

Hoping for Trento and/or AI (Spa will take much more time, i guess).
NR GP wouldnt be much different for me then hotlapping around Mugello/Imola. And I have enough of "just" good physics, need something to race against, so AI or a interesting track like the one who I dont mention or Trento (which I dont know).
There are allready enough cars and not much about I care "more" about in the rooster.

Anyway, I doubt AI will reach a level thats satisfying (the usual too passive=only overtakes if its easy or too stupid=danger to player at especially itself), which would need to be much higher then in any other game.
But I hope I will be suprised.

MP sadly needs more dedication and flexibility then I can deliver, I probably will never be good enough and everything else is more important then games, which makes planing often impossible.
But maybe there will be a noob-league.

Anyway, till 1.0 I simply dont "aspect" something.
Besides the modding-community allready advances the base Kunos delivered and together they deliver what I hoped for. So great physics, cars and graphics and street-rallye-tracks (racing against others following).

 

I'm hoping :

Physics / ffb updates priority / tire model ( basic 1st release damage ? )

(Lotus 49 seems to have downforce to me ...not sure if more work will be done on this sim-car )

I don't use AI's but it would be good to use until multiplayer is implemented

Would love the motion output to be OFF during replays too

There's a lot of content already at this point to keep everyone happy for now I think,
although I'm interested to see how a more modern f1 car would feel in AC

Keep up the good work kunos!

 

I would see multiplayer in action and some graphics and physics optimizations.
I don't care about AI... if i want to play with AI, i'll go play an arcade game as F1 by Codemaster.

 

I don't use AI either , but some people actually like AI etc, be good to see another car or two on track for a change whilst wait for multiplayer I guess

 

As much as we want MP it seems the focus is on AI right now. It kinda makes sense because not many games have good AI and the career mode is all but worthless without good AI. It's a shame that so much work is going into something that it seems many of us will never use but there might be even more that will use it and just don't post on forums. I'm sure that most of us that would never care for the AI will mess around with it a little as we wait for MP. Don't know about ya'll but I am getting a little lonely on track by myself.
I bet we get another Lotus or two in the next update, there is only about 37 more of them to come.

 

I've seen the A.I in action in a couple of videos. They look pretty competitive from what I've seen.

 

When will 0.5 come out anyway? or...when is patchday?

 

January 17th

 

17th January. Couple of days after my birthday

 

hot off the presses: new AI video

 

Absolutely terrific but how did they get that many guys with the same name to drive the cars Seriously it looks awesome, thanks for sharing

 

That's really very impressive. It's a bit hard to judge how fast they're really going, but that looks a massive improvement from the 0.4 AI hack videos, or any of the previous Kunos AI vids. The fact they can get a field this large to actually fight each other is big, big progress.

 

Nurburgring isn't supposed to be out until September. Don't get your hopes up for it.
As for me, I'd like to see Trento and maybe a couple more Lotus

 

another one :


he reaches 70-80 FPS on his system. I think my Toshiba Notebook should hold his 50 FPS locked then

 

nurburgring GP or "germany circuit" is part of V1.0. Hope it's in the next update but I think most would rather have Trento Bodine next

 

thank you

 

If it allready has bumps in it (laserscanned or not) a retexture and a few more polys for some objects should be enough I think, considering
...ehem...the landscape isnt very detailed in other tracks.
Besides: Im no expert, but for testing physics a track with a not-circuit-characteristic could be handy for the overall physics-development.

Regarding the AI-videos:
It looks good and the atmosphere is allready totally different in comparsion to lonewolfing.
But I wait for videos from the AI-perspective too see how good it is regarding overtakes (offensive/defensive), especially against a smart human.
Couldnt see much from it in the vids.
