Mugello needs a face lift, not quite as detailed, idk. Doesn't look bad, just not quite a good.

@Salajutsu, try Mugello with the time set to 18:00 and you are in for a treat

EDIT: Ok, something must have not turned on the first time I fired it up. Tried multiple times of day and it looks great. Sorry for the trouble, the first time didn't look too good, now it's looking brilliant.

Thanks very much! I'll have a look and try painting a new skin. Here's your link, in case anyone was wondering:

Who gave you permission from K.S. to post it? (I'm talking about AC, not the TP).
Thanks.

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

The skin of the p4/5 is particular.

Soon[tm] I'll start releasing the templates for all the cars.

The Pagani Zonda R is amazing to drive.

 

[Qazdar Karim]

There is a bug though with the toe setting on the zonda,one wheel can be adjusted by ten and the other by 1 !

And yes that car is just amazing to drive

Amazing, now in Mugello I have almost the same exact feelings I had in pcars!

 

[Stelios]

I dont know if that is a good thing or not James

Bit of an insult to AC that....

You guys on low and medium settings, what pc specs do you have. I've yet to get this game but starting to wonder If my GTX 660 will cope with this game.

cheers

GTX 580, 16GB ram, i7 950 and game installed on SSD. Around 70 fps with everything set to medium except shadow detail which I bumped to high.
HDR seem to be hard för my pc, fps gets too low with that.

This is how you do updates! Sensational work by Kunos and my congratulations to the entire team. I have a hard time choosing between Assetto Corsa and GSC 2013 (plus RRE, rF2 and pCARS). What a time to be a PC sim racer.

As for people asking about the P4/5:

Si3V: Tyres supersoft? that car is not meant to be used with supersoft tyres, and it's VERY underpowered by air restrictors. It has a great aero efficency and mechanical grip (tuned to be used with MUCH more power). It's meant to be driven (quite) easily for 24hours. One of the drivers who drove it the first year at the 24h of nurburgring is a Friend of mine. He was so disappointed by the power cut off they imposed 'em (IMHO not to risk they could win... they're not germans), they were passed on the straight by lower classes cars...There's no hidden TC... try to do a burnout, I just did many many donuts. And at the first brake I locked the tyres...

Aris: As Simone (Si3v) the car is unfortunately very underpowered. Giovanardi the driver, told me: "you must be an idiot to spin with our car, it's very easy to drive" obviously exaggerating a bit, but he is a great fun guy Also consider those cars are made to do laptimes and last a long 24 hours, not to be "fun to slide around"

 

[Tomas Torasen]

About wheel settings in game. Are the presets (for different wheels) doing something we dont see, or are they only changing parameters that we have access to ourselves?

 

[wajdi]

So strange with all those mirrors.

It takes me back to the 1960's Mods & Rockers, here's a Mod :-

Lol, yes you are right! I have enabled them accidentally then I didn't know how to disable them, because I registered the replay when I was driving(live)!

The only thing about Mugello that I think needs looking at, is the kerbs. They are just lacking in brightness and saturation, they look rather dull...

Mugello in general has strange colors throughout compared to the other tracks.

 

[Mr Whippy]

You have to be careful how that photo has been adjusted.

Also the tone mapping in game might be making it look duller vs a non-comparable photo.

In the end they look bright white, so if the rgb in the texture is in the region of 220rgb then it's probably accurate and just down to exposure differences and tone mapping differences between the two 'photos'

Since the update, my SST shifter will not go into 6th and 7th gear. I have calibrated it, and it does see 6th and 7th. But when I get on track going into 6th gear gives me neutral. And also on my G27 I need to invert all pedals, not sure if this is the same for everyone.

Sorry if this is in the wrong location. Did not see a bug report thread.

Does anyone know what's the deal with that "Toggle Zoom" button on the profile screen in options? It doesn't seem to do anything. The cursor always changes to that magnifying glass icon that suggests, that clicking on the table is supposed to zoom it in... but it doesn't.
Also, there's a small "Delete" link in every laptime box, but it doesn't work either...
Are these known bugs, or is it just MY game?

 

[Stuart Whitehead]

The toggle zoom bug is known.

It happens here too.
