We know you have questions

Hello Kunos ! So thanks for the game you made us and are making us !
I would like to know :
What does mean "Multiplayer (Basic)" for november ?
Will we have a kind of RSR live timing to compare our timelaps this month, for the first release ? if not, when ?
I thank you very much, and i'm really excited to buy and test your new game.
Regards, David

 

I want to know, if in Assetto Corsa Competizione i can select to not have spectators on the ranks. Yeah its not that important, but lets say you want to simulate a private testday. In real life on a private testday there are no spectators in the ranks. So as i would simulate a team wich competes in the BES and is in the seasonpreperations, i would love to see this feature.

 

Hmm, have never really thought of this but it’s an interesting question. Number of spectators is normally associated with graphics settings, would be cool to have a “test day” option that doesn’t reduce any graphics quality but just removes the spectators, could still be a few people around the track as there would normally be such as photographers and spotters

 

Hi,

will there be a proper telemetry system included? I mean for what reason do you need a super proper physics engine and so on, if you cant setup your car properly. Please inlcude a motec style telemetry system so we can compare different sets and lap times in detail.
-driving line
-engine, brake, tire temperatures
-damper potentiometer travel -> damper loads(aero) -> ride hights
-tire pressure
-throttle, brake position
-tc abs usuage
-detailed g-forces
-slip angle
-steering angle
-...

saving logs with setups, so I can check the logs later again and see what I changed and what it did changed in the data
compare my logs with others so i can help them with setting their cars.
If you really wanna be a sim, this has to be mandatory. You have all the data already, so why dont let them virtualize us?

 

there will be mixed races?
Driver classification: PRO, PRO-AM, Silver Cup

 

the rubber and dryline , is it pre-calculated or dynamic based on how the cars pass (as rf2)? Thank you

Hey, will we get dynamic weather and variable time of day right from Build 1 in Early Access?

 

@D.Jankovic Ah okay, thank you. That works actually fine for me. Just would like to see different conditions at least. Does not need to be necessarily the completely customizable stuff for now. Just not only dry/midday

 

Is it planned, to implement a real life weather/real life time feature?

 

You mean to match in game the exact same weather and time we have at that given moment in real life?

 

I belive this was asked long time ago and dev said it would be hard to implement it properlly so it will not be happening. But i remember reading that long time ago so i am not sure anymore

 

Answer is buried into the tyres thread. Rubber and dry line is pre-calculated.

 

BTW Tires oh its raining thread have most of the answers and also detailed explaination of rain affecting track.

 

I'd just like to know if I can save replays and view them when ACC early access code launches in Sept !

Thanks

 

My question is what TIME will EA be available to download?

 

Will you have a pdf included to download with all Blancpain info, car and track and setup info to refer to or do we have to navigate the forums/web and go searching for info/answers?

 

I use that feature in Content Manager for AC, it sets the current weather type, tempereature, wind speed/direction and, if you want, time for the track you chose if you entered its coordinates. It's not a bad idea per se, but only somewhat useful because if you play the game in winter (or at night) you usually end up having veeery low temperatures, at which most cars wouldn't realistically race because they don't race in winter, so you have to change it back to something more realistic or fitting. It's a nice to have IMO, but I don't see how it would jusitfy the programming load necessary. If you want to race at real life condition, do what I did before Content Manager: go to weather.com ans look up the weather for the track you're driving.

 

I find it strange that Valve don't allow Early Access games to be pre-loaded on Steam, but it is what it is and it's not the end of the world.

Anyway it's not many days left before we're all glued in front of our screens burning rubber and I reckon it will be released in time for dinner.
