[Simon Roberts]

So whats every ones thoughts?

 

[Guus]

Was it that hard to release one of the remaining cars... I was looking forward to get one of the remaining GT3 or a new F1 or better yet the T125 !

and there we go again

So, it's that day of the month again and a new update is ready.

Let's have a look at todays "particular" update.
As you might have guessed, we won't release any new cars or tracks today. We understand that this might be a bit of a let down for some of you, but then again we have already released 35 cars and their upgrades and 12 tracks... considering AC's physics engine depth, I'm sure there's more to explore than simply jumping from one car to the other.
So what's in this new update? Lot's of core work to make AC better, some of it very evident, some of it under the surface but very important.

First of all we are enabling AI Quick Races for all cars, all tracks. You can select whatever car you like, whatever track you like and whatever number of opponents (up to the track limits). Most importantly you can select different opponents to race against. Multi-class, multi-era, multi-performances, multi-whatever.. err...no scratch that, multiplayer is not ready yet (we're working on it, you know we do!).

So this is very important, we worked very hard to enable all cars and all tracks to enable the AI. Tons of data to process, but we didn't just stopped there. We have laid out the ground to build a better AI that understands better the intentions of the player. On some cars you might see a better behaviour, on some others more or less the same, but the work is there and slowly we will update all of them. Your feedback is valuable and that's what early access is all about, so thank you in advance!

What's next? Collisions. You can lean on your opponents now, bump door against door, push and get pushed and the experience should be far better. Most importantly no more landmines and you can go over high kerbs with far more realistic behaviour. That also permits us to make the terrain collisions more accurate and this means more setup work for you, as you might need to make the setup stiffer, user bumpstops, or raise the car height to make sure the car is not bottoming out. If you hear strange scraping noises and experience unexpected spins on fast turns, it might mean that your old setup was way too low... AC is getting more mature and this means that it requests from you the drivers, more skills and more setup work. We are sure you're going to have fun limiting bottoming, without affecting car balance

Sound engine. We have worked on the sound engine to improve the sound of the opponents cars in AI races as well as taking advantage of 5.1 systems. It's been quite an extensive work, way too long to describe, but let us know what you think and if you find any bugs.

As usual lot's of little fixes, bug hunting and optimisations as usual, but also new much requested features like steering wheel hiding, look behind, smoke rendering on mirrors with on/off option, penalties system selectable from UI and more. We are listening the community and working out all the small little details, one by one.

Last but not least, a very important and very complicated theme module management for the UI. What does that means? Modders can now write their plugins and connect them inside the User Interface (like the amazing "Rivali" suite). Theme modules are then saved inside the username/documents/assetto corsa folder. This is very important, as we can update the user interface everytime we think necessary and users will not lose their installed mods and UI modifications (if made following our guidelines). Also, users can now select which UI mods can enable from Options/General menu. There is also an example with documentation for modders. This is far more important than it might seem, and opens the door to modders to create amazing applications that work seamlessly inside Assetto Corsa User Interface.

Hope you have fun with this new update, looking forward to hear your feedback.

Why they say they have released the 35 cars when it's not even true !? two weeks just for AI tweaking... adding a car from their announced roaster is not that hard.... the update is 55mb...

and there we go again

Dude give me a break, I am allowed to speak my mind !! I am sure you're when of these people complaining about AI, well I don't car for AI until 1.0, I car for cars !! to each their own ffs !

I just can't believe what I'm reading right now. Dude, please just stop it, it's unbearable.. Typical french behaviour btw, always complaining about everything! (I'm French too, I know what I'm talking about )

So you're not happy they "honored their contract"?

For sure I am and I find it funny that the bunch of you react like that on me, you guys are hypocrites ! acting like you are 100% positive all the time and nothing bad to say... yeah right HYPOCRITES !

Oui biensur genr tu n'as jamais rien de négatif à dire... tu es un robot ? tu n'as pas d'opinion ?

but also new much requested features like steering wheel hiding

DIDNT EXPECT THAT

Is that your professional opinion as a programmer or just an assumption?

There you go, hypocrites ! you guys can request stuff, but when I ask they simply honor there duties I am saying something bad :S

 

[DennS]

First update I can actually try on the same day or week as it was released... sweeet

 

[Juris]

I'm personally delighted with the update list. I can definitely wait for more cars. It's about quality not quantity. The rest will come in time. Hopefully the increased realism will make those not fully happy so far enjoy things more for themselves. Being able to race any car on any track with the AI is great and can't wait to hear how the sound improvements work out.

Sadly I can't play right now as I'm out on the piss again. When I get back from the pub you can be sure I'll point out how all the cars weave uncontrollably around the track, how my gear shift now looks like a bottle of Carlsberg and doesn't seem to make the car change gear and seems to be getting lighter and lighter over time and how when I blare the 5.1 at 2am Kunos have added a continuous knocking sound on my rear speakers near my front door and screaming in Russian which sounds a lot like my neighbours.

Well done KS. Enjoy folks.

EDIT* Sorry rong forum

Please. Stop. You. Are. Embarrassing. Yourself.

Hilarious at first, but getting annoying now I think.

 

[BanjoMaster]

At least we can now close this thread and put all hugely entertaining unpleasantness behind us?

No mate, its the way you went off like some spoiled brat, claiming Kunos would be in breach of contract and breaking a promise if they failed to release an update today.

For one, there was no contract when the sim went up on Steam. I certainly didn't sign one. Did you?

Secondly, they never promised anything. They stated that they intended to release updates every fortnight in the run up to the sim going v1.0 (small break allowed for Christmas Holiday). They never claimed every update would contain cars and tracks as far as I can remember, yet still you are whining about there being no car in today's update and questioning that they have spent two weeks just AI tweaking. Have you read the changelog?

Zut Alors!

Au revoir.

So when Simon started this thread, I said...

I predict a riot!

12 pages later I think I was sort of correct

Plus we got an update! No needs to sue anyone, punch your cheating girlfriend in the mouth, tell people to eat KFC, or continue speculation.

Where's the 0.7 speculation thread at? I will be super pissed if cars dont get authentic sounding horns. 2 week warning starting......

...now!

 

[Graham Laing]

This thread is now defunct, and just going around in circles (a racing pun). The 0.6 speculation is over, let the 0.7 thread take the load when it comes ......

Paul was in like Flynn before I could hit reply ..... he wins my last piece of KFC chicken of the week


The 0.7 thread may be Hamburger based ....... not sure yet
