Assetto Corsa: Release Candidate Previews

[Bram Hengeveld]

Kunos Simulazioni just released a first batch of previews of the release candidate of Assetto Corsa that is about to be released in the upcoming days.

During our visit at the press event last week we already brought you the table of content of the game with some new details on the upcoming full version of the game.

Today the first preview images of the release candidate show the Shelby Cobra 427SC, that will come to the pc simulator as a free bonus car. The much awaited addition to the competitive GT3 class: the Mercedes SLS GT3. A little Abarth duel. The Ferrari 458 GT2 and of course Ferrari's flagship vehicle the LaFerrari on a laser-scanned version of Spa-Francorchamps.

If you haven't purchased Assetto Corsa yet you can pick it up directly from our store and of course with a 10% discount if you are a premium member of this community.

Stalking is more like it... hahaha

Just for info if it hasn't been mentioned before: It may be best to delete any car mods (maybe tracks too), since the audio will not work on it! Question was asked on twitter!

 

[Bakkster]

It's probably not healthy, but I legit cannot stop thinking about being able to drive a laserscanned Spa.... Oh man.

If you're that obsessed, why have you waited so long? It isn't the first laser scanned Spa, you know

This will probably be what gets me to take off the flight stick and put the wheel back on my cockpit after playing Elite on the DK2. Looking forward to giving it a go.

push for a driver swap feature

FMod project is solid (finally). We're reworking sounds from scratch. Hope you like #AssettoCorsa Z4 GT3 exteriors: http://goo.gl/TfD9BZ

if there having to do all the sounds from scratch...might be a while!

Thought it was the modders that had to redo the sound for the mods not the development devs as the sound is working fine on rc release.

From what I understand, he was just explaining the process with FMOD, and the sounds are ready.

[Si]

Important message from Marco:
"you need to make a clean installation of the game: backup your folders (including the documents\assetto corsa folder) and delete them. Just follow what will be described in the support forum, however at first launch Assetto Corsa will ask you to delete the folder in documents, or to exit the game"

You can't go wrong with a bit of pit crew

On a side note, I'm not a fan of Ferrari, but I'm dying to try out the new LaFerrari. And Spa. Spa will be awesome!

 

[Si]

never doubted it for a second
