Assetto Corsa: Dream Pack DLC with Nurburgring Nordschleife released

[Alex Franchini]

Kunos Simulazioni has officially released the 1.1 update along with the long-awaited Dream Pack DLC for Assetto Corsa.

The 1.1 update weights, rather fittingly, 1.1GB, and brings several improvements to one of the most popular simulators around.

The press release lists, most notably, improvements to the graphics department (particularly in terms of optimization and post-processing effects) and to the game's AI.

Furthermore, the update brings a flag and rules system and new overcast weather conditions.

First, sorry for the OT guys, it will be my last response to him.

Second, Yes Kimmo I did read them before I made my post, that's why I did tell you to go away. Next time think before you say something your imagination produces. I'm trying to give you good advises but you seem to refuse them or didn't understand them.
I though you have learned the lesson from your thread about that stupid (and unfounded) assumption on the Drag "track"...

From msg #56: No more about this, thank you Kunos, great job!!!

 

[panande]

I personally really dont like the snoopy track and I never did. The new NOS however is not feeling new, but fresh. And I really appreciate it, the immersion you get is incredible!

Though Im again a bit disappointed by the sounds of the cars (The C7.R sounds fine, thank god for that ^^)
And some cars like the 4C or the M235i dont really drive like I expected them to.

But after all this is a very good DLC and I can not really complain about anything else.
I did a race with the DTM cars and it was absolute madness! Just like the old days One Alfa even almost rolled over mid-race, but eventually he was fine and just crashed into me afterwards

 

[Ricoow]

Nope, had no idea, and tbh it doesn't tell me much as I have no clue what GTE really means
Still find it weird that a 500bhp vette should go faster around there than a 900bhp claren, ferrari and porsche, but if you say so I have no reason to not believe you.

The Vette has more corner speed my friend, aero is also very important here

Ermmm... Well, it's a racecar for starters. It makes a **** ton of downforce and has slick tyres... As well as massive brakes and less weight. And all the other racing bits racecars today usually have...

I mean, surely looking at the car and the cockpit it should kinda be obvious no ?

 

[Diogo Ramalho]

Talking about the new version, I got more frames and mutch more stable. The AI stilll needs work but its mutch better. The new flag systems seems solid and the 5s penalty are gone. Really nice job in terms of optimisation.

The DLC..... well no words. Awesome job. Love every car and the Nords is great fun.

hows is the AI after the update

 

[dctoe]

This is funny, you may not see this kind of details but I as a track builder can saw this on the the first lap so would you like to see more details

I can tell you that if two different track builders create totally scratch build tracks there's never that kind of same track sections in both of them. Both of these tracks made by Game Company, ok, let's see how it looks in some modders scratch build track, this place is just after the Karusell. Must check that snoopy's version also...

Snoopy's track

That display module on the lower right and 2nd shot. Where did you get that sir? Please.

The former GT2 class is now the GTE class for the american TUSCC which is the new ALMS forged together with the RSCC. And hell they are quick! Of course the P1 for example is way faster in a straight line, but lacks corner speed. (Its not like it couldnt go round a corner very fast, but the C7.R is just even faster ) So if the Corvette is just half a second faster through all the corners that makes 30 seconds just there and it looses only about 60-90 km/h on the Doettinger Hoehe against the P1

The starts are mutch better. Now they seem to understand better your position and dont do stupid moves. However it still needs work but now you can enjoy single player.

I think the P1 looks every bit as race car as the C7R, and I can't see interior running FOV @ 30 on my 29" screen
But as I said, I do believe you

Hahaha to someone who has not a single clue about GT classes that was just a bunch of acronyms that made little to no sense
But I repeat myself, I believe you guys, it's supposed to be faster, I thought it shouldn't be but was wrong.

 

[Adrian Herrera]

The P1 is a road legal production super car, or hyper car. The C7R is a full-blown purpose built racing machine.

 

[Kimmo Kokkonen]

@Kimmo Kokkonen whatever you're smoking I do hope you brought enough for the rest of the class because that must be some good sh*t!!

Great attitude what? Kunos Leading Developer Stefano Casillo after I asked him show me the Drag Strip layout, he didn't even asked me that what is my point but start his own game...ok! He's what 46 years old, really?! I just asked about the track??? Great!

What is this?

 

[William Levesque]

That's him #rekting you pretty damn hard.

Shut the eff up already.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Kunos use laserscanned email technology Kimmo so Stefano is always right in his conclusions.

Honestly after reading all the nonsense about the dragstripsaga he wasn't far of the truth. Impossible

 

[ThugUK]

Anyone else having problems with the brightness too high on the tracks?
I have sweetfx and have to keep the pgdn button pressed for about 5 seconds to bring it down enough to see the track. Will I have to delete it and reload it (sweetfx)?

 

[Kimmo Kokkonen]

1st is from new AC DLC
2nd from GTR Evolution (Simbin)
3rd from snoopy's AC version

 

[vee10]

It's a tty shambles for me this update. Crashes, launcher crashes, crashes on exit. Delete this, verify that. I have done a full re install deleted all mods, modded tracks and apps still crashing. And when it does run I've lost fps!

How you can basically say to all the modders out there thanks for all your work up to now but we cant be arsed to test to see if it works in our new build is a piss poor effort.

No other developer trashes mods after a update. Spent all night trying to fix it, I'll stick with developers who know what that they are doing for now. Had about half a lap around the nords.

Back to RF2 and GSC I go.

A grumpy old lady bit is now off to bed. What a waste of my precious driving time.

I see. Thank you. And Happy Racing!

That's so true as my track is too difficult to copy even Kunos, I didn't spend much time with Graphics but I solved many issues still found from Kunos's track. At first you have to make everything work and then comes graphics, right? AC is Simulator, is it? Ok.
