Assetto Corsa: McLaren MP4-12 Imola Video

After the much discussed GT3 video of this car earlier this week its now time to see the road version of the McLaren MP4-12 in action on Imola.

Driving without any assists Marco Massarutto shows us how the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari looks in Assetto Corsa around lunchtime in free practice mode. The popular Italian race track, nicknamed by Enzo Ferrari as the Little Nürburgring was...

Interesting discussion guys. The environmental sound modelling is something I'm very interested in but know virtually nothing about technically. I've always wondered why, if we've accepted resource-dependent scalable graphics as the norm, nobody's really tried to apply this philosophy to the sound design either - if you have bog-standard motherboard only sound, you get basic sound processing. However, if you've got good sound hardware, additional sound features and effects are available to you. It would probably take a few high profile games to kickstart the kind of cycles we see with graphics hardware, but surely sound is tired of being the forgotten, neglected child of game production?

I wonder how AC is doing all this stuff then... would be nice to know just out of interest

Yeah, maybe Luca Sodano will share something with us once the cat is out of the bag... I hope.

I guess we can work it out once we get the game and play it. 90% of the time I play GT5 for example I'm just driving around looking at the way they built things or do sounds etc. Bit sad but there you go

Banjo, I agree. Sound has been left behind a long time really but I guess there is little motivation to improve it more than any limitation on the hardware.

Only when someone does do something very special with audio and sets a standard by which others are then judged will people then have something to gauge against I suppose.


I bet most of the stuff you might want to do is in DirectX or other sound libraries already. All we need is people wanting to really push the boundaries with it.

If it's necessary for car games I'm not sure but playing most games with cars I think the audio could be better.

I guess a big part for many developers is getting good samples to start with though! That might blow their budget before they want to do anything else...

yep getting good samples/recordings is always the most importend but also one of the hardest parts in terms of physical work, budget and knowledge of doing a proper recording.

The new external Z4 sounds in RRRE are really quite good. The fly-bys are some of the best I've heard when combined with the environmental effects. Hopefully, AC can eventually have replay sounds as good.
