0.6 WILD speculation

[Simon Roberts]

So whats every ones thoughts?

Back on topic. For me I'd love to see some sound improvements in AC 0.60. I've just watched the latest PS4 Drive Club trailer & as much as I hate to say it I'm really impressed with the sounds. Really deep throaty aggressive growl from the cars. Would really make my Buttkicker kick butt. Just exclaimed 'hell yeah' on hearing it. Please KS, some of this. Cheers.

they fix only all sound problems, that came with 0.5.x version. But i agree

I am no longer sure if we will have an update today. Or it will be only bug fixing and stuff. Because why suddenly they have not published any info, screen or whatever? It would be the first time ever. But maybe I am mistaken.

 

[Simon Kaminski]

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupdate where are you

 

[Tomaz Selcan]

.
A delay always may happen to anyone.

There is no delay..some updates came after 5 PM in my country, soo they still have 1-2 hours. Only after midnight we can talk about delays and complaining about it.

 

[Jempy]

Right Tomaz ... it was just a way to calm down impatients !
so ... no news good news ? ... as we didn't hear or read anything from them as the contrary was true most of the time until now.

Aris told on twitter some time ago that update of AI is coming today.

 

[Dinca Andrei]

Silenzio stampa treatment

 

[Raig Strehlow]

in my country they released their first updates in the next hours. I think at version 0.3-0.5 they were faster/earlier.

 

[Marty Pierce]

Update Ready.

 

[Marcel vd Aa]

Update Ready.

Wow Marty is back...long time no see buddy

 

[Quas]

Could you eloborate?

 

[Marcel vd Aa]

Could you eloborate?

I think it means he's ready for the update; as the rest of us...

 

[Keanu Buschmann]

Maybe the update is so big that it need longer

 

[Dinca Andrei]

 

[Quas]

If anything, this thread keeps us amused while we're waiting, typos, chickens, misunderstandings, i hope the funny stuff lasts for another two weeks if there's no update tonight .

Was it that hard to release one of the remaining cars... I was looking forward to get one of the remaining GT3 or a new F1 or better yet the T125 !

So, it's that day of the month again and a new update is ready.

Let's have a look at todays "particular" update.
As you might have guessed, we won't release any new cars or tracks today. We understand that this might be a bit of a let down for some of you, but then again we have already released 35 cars and their upgrades and 12 tracks... considering AC's physics engine depth, I'm sure there's more to explore than simply jumping from one car to the other.
So what's in this new update? Lot's of core work to make AC better, some of it very evident, some of it under the surface but very important.

First of all we are enabling AI Quick Races for all cars, all tracks. You can select whatever car you like, whatever track you like and whatever number of opponents (up to the track limits). Most importantly you can select different opponents to race against. Multi-class, multi-era, multi-performances, multi-whatever.. err...no scratch that, multiplayer is not ready yet (we're working on it, you know we do!).

So this is very important, we worked very hard to enable all cars and all tracks to enable the AI. Tons of data to process, but we didn't just stopped there. We have laid out the ground to build a better AI that understands better the intentions of the player. On some cars you might see a better behaviour, on some others more or less the same, but the work is there and slowly we will update all of them. Your feedback is valuable and that's what early access is all about, so thank you in advance!

What's next? Collisions. You can lean on your opponents now, bump door against door, push and get pushed and the experience should be far better. Most importantly no more landmines and you can go over high kerbs with far more realistic behaviour. That also permits us to make the terrain collisions more accurate and this means more setup work for you, as you might need to make the setup stiffer, user bumpstops, or raise the car height to make sure the car is not bottoming out. If you hear strange scraping noises and experience unexpected spins on fast turns, it might mean that your old setup was way too low... AC is getting more mature and this means that it requests from you the drivers, more skills and more setup work. We are sure you're going to have fun limiting bottoming, without affecting car balance

Sound engine. We have worked on the sound engine to improve the sound of the opponents cars in AI races as well as taking advantage of 5.1 systems. It's been quite an extensive work, way too long to describe, but let us know what you think and if you find any bugs.

As usual lot's of little fixes, bug hunting and optimisations as usual, but also new much requested features like steering wheel hiding, look behind, smoke rendering on mirrors with on/off option, penalties system selectable from UI and more. We are listening the community and working out all the small little details, one by one.

Last but not least, a very important and very complicated theme module management for the UI. What does that means? Modders can now write their plugins and connect them inside the User Interface (like the amazing "Rivali" suite). Theme modules are then saved inside the username/documents/assetto corsa folder. This is very important, as we can update the user interface everytime we think necessary and users will not lose their installed mods and UI modifications (if made following our guidelines). Also, users can now select which UI mods can enable from Options/General menu. There is also an example with documentation for modders. This is far more important than it might seem, and opens the door to modders to create amazing applications that work seamlessly inside Assetto Corsa User Interface.

Hope you have fun with this new update, looking forward to hear your feedback.
