Assetto Corsa: Bonus Pack unveiled

[Howard]

Kunos Simulazioni have revealed details and screenshots for the upcoming free Bonus Pack to be released as part of the 1.2 update for Assetto Corsa in July.

The pack will consist of five cars and one track, but will be a free DLC for all Assetto Corsa owners. The Bonus Pack contains:

• Alfa Romeo Mito Quadrifoglio Verde
• Audi Sport Quattro
• Lamborghini Miura
• Nissan Nismo GT-R
• Toyota GT-86
• Circuit of Zandvoort

Check out some pictures of the Bonus Pack below. Look at the rest in our RaceTube.

Also, maybe they'll suddenly discover that chassis and tires flex have to do something with proper simulation as well.

What makes you think flex is not simulated in AC? Is it because it isn't visual?

Yea I guess he based himself on the same principle, that tires in AC are just a plastic shape, because he doesn't see them flex.
He forgot to think that all this is simulated in the physics engine, and you can also feel in the FFB the tires changing shape when you steer. There's also tire graining, flat spot, blistering. This again isn't visual, but is in the physics and ffb.

How did I miss this? I was checking the AC page just this afternoon.

Anyway, good. Except that...well, I couldn't care less about the Mito.

I also don't know where this news on several websites started to appear. Because I haven't seen any announcement from Kunos lately about the bonus pack.

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

Kunos likely won't announce it on the official forums until it is already released, or very close to being released.

interior modelling is getting better with each car released - that audi looks amazing.
earlier bmw gt2 for example doesn't look so great to me. #

chuffed for this bonus dlc.

the audi isn't made by kunos, just like the shelby

road cars, race cars......
Just saying
Alfa Romeo Mito Quadrifoglio Verde VS Mercedes-Benz CLK LM 1998

and don't mind paying for DLC, does not have to be free.....still getting my moneys worth and supporting something I like.

Circuit of Zandvoort is more then welcomed....

the Idea of racing someone's fathers car, or anything I see on a street corner is just not the appealing to me.....

I bought 2 add-ons so far with no regrets

 

[randMracer]

The way I see it, more is always better, especially when it's free. Why complain, just give thanks.

 

[yusupov]

Not road cars, race cars.....please

rule of thumb for kunos is road cars are free dlc, race cars are pay dlc

 

[yusupov]

or dont give thanks, but complaining is dumb. you wont use it, so what? there are race cars in the works, theyre just not giving them away.

 

[Glaurung]

Not road cars, race cars.....please

Why not both?

Looking forward to this, any sort of content that is of their quality and is free is fine by me

One of the advantages of AC is that it seems to be easily modable, we're spoilt with some excellent addons like the FF1's the Williams F1 cars and so on. Would maybe like to see some LMP cars but I have other sims for that so I don't worry about it too much

The only thorn in it's side at the moment is Project Cars, whether it's better or worse is debatable (and for many other threads and posts ) but the fact remains that at the moment on here it generates more sign ups for club events.

 

[Bob Schumaker]

Nice. I like to drive the old cars!

The only thorn in it's side at the moment is Project Cars

Before pCars turns into a "problem" for AC, they'd have to fix all the open issues first

But in simracing i think variety is our all advantage and pCars has lots of potential to get new blood into this genre - who will just like us gather as many sims in their libraries as we do, profiting AC in the end too.

 

[Dave R]

Free is free no matter what the content. Thanks Kunos!! Looking forward to Zandvoort and having another quality track in the mix

No AI improvements???

No. According to people reporting via tweets and other nonsense. None

Apparently we should just be massively grateful for a few more cars to do a couple of hot laps with.

 

[Stereo]

No. According to people reporting via tweets and other nonsense. None

??? the staff have tweeted about several improvements to AI since the last patch. Stefano said they're using the fastest qualifying tires & just generally a lot faster now (98% AI he can't keep up with)

Anyway, they've never listed the bug fixes before the patch is available, don't see why that would change. If you want to know what bugs are going to be fixed, look at the threads marked Fixed/Working on it on the official forums.

I don't really do Twatter so aren't sure, but people on ac forums saying the devs have said MP fixes only??

The devs have said that 1.2 patch is focused on mp, but i don't think that excludes sp fixes at all
