A friend of mine said recently :
"Without mods, AC will last 1 year. With mods, it'll last 10."
What do you think ?

Kunos are in for the long haul !
Everything about AC is leaps and bounds better than rF and I myself find it looking very dull especially comparing to AC !
Once the drifters find out about all the cars drifting capability it is surely going to spread like wildfire which will give it a good money injection !
Assetto Corsa is the best thing that happend Sim Racing since RBR (Which I have been playing for 9 years now ) !
Kunos tire model is second to none just as the FFB, no one can touch Kunos there !
As far as I know rF2 is already out !
Cant say I am overly impressed from what I've seen on YT so far !
But... are you a simracer??? Or a Gran Turismo player?? Do you evaluate a sim based on what you see on Youtube without even feel it???
And yes rFactor2 is out a long time ago but still in BETA stage...
Nothing personal and not defending this or that "sim", just can't understand how people can evaluate a SIM based on youtube video...
That are not facts but opinions Your opinions and that's fine.
The 3rd party tracks in rFactor are fine, and they weren't laser scanned

A blanket statement claiming they were "fine" is being disingenuous imo
The 3rd party tracks in rFactor ranged from absolute dross to as good as it gets without laser scans. Even the very best examples tended to be wildly inaccurate when it came to elevation, cambers and bumps compared to the laser scanned versions seen in iRacing and AC.
I realise that the complete accuracy of tracks is unimportant to many sim racers and i have no issue with that. For those of us that are slightly more anal about the details though 3rd party tracks just dont cut it any more. Accurate elevation changes, the camber of corners and bumps in all areas, especially braking zones make a huge difference in how you drive the track. Those details matter to a lot of people. We've moved on. It's no longer 2006.
I'm still looking forward to 3rd party tracks, especially if they are up to the standard of the VLM tracks for rFactor or the Imola and Mugello tracks for netKar Pro from the Radiator Springs guys. They certainly help to fill the gaps and i fully appreciate the time and effort that goes into making them, but given the choice of even an exceptionally made 3rd party track for free or buying a laser scanned version of the same track... I'll be reaching for my wallet every time. The accuracy makes it worth every penny, and knowing you are helping to fund and support the devs product for as long as possible is a huge bonus.
The question is how many tracks can Kunos Laserscan without losing any investments ? If they are going to stay afloat for the next 5 years surely they must deliver (Sell) tracks and cars DLC and not depend entirely on the mod community ?
Yes, surely they must. I guess how many they can supply will be entirely dependant on sales of any previous DLC's If they dont sell well then they can't invest in the next ones. This is the main reason i hope the majority of the community support the devs buy purchasing what they offer. Good quality mod tracks will provide a ton of extra variety and entertainment on top of that, i just hope that the majority of users will support the project financially now and again for some top quality content as well.
I have or had have all of the Sims and arcade Games ever made since the 90's so how could I have said "my sim is better than yours ?"
FYI Gran Turismo does NOT meet any requirements for a Sim Racing Game regarding Physics, Damage or Multiplayer !
It's just facts !
It has absolutely Zero to do with Sim racing !
It's just pure Graphic's Galore !
