[PC] Assetto Corsa

[Garrett67]

The game is still in 'Early Access'. Its further along that is was when I got it a few months ago.





NEXT GENERATION RACING SIMULATOR

Assetto Corsa features an advanced DirectX 11 graphics engine that recreates an immersive environment, dynamic lighthing and realistic materials and surfaces. The advanced physics engine is being designed to provide a very realistic driving experience, with single player and multiplayer options, exclusive licensed cars reproduced with the best accuracy possible, thanks to the official cooperation of Car Manufacturers.
ASSETTO CORSA has been developed at the KUNOS Simulazioni R&D office, located just inside the international racing circuit of Vallelunga, allowing the team to develop the game with the cooperation of real world racing drivers and racing teams.

LEGENDARY TRACKS


The circuits have been developed using Laser scan technology, in order to guarantee the highest level of accuracy possible in reproducing real world motor racing environments.
Monza, Silverstone, Imola, Mugello and many more tracks, including the historical reproduction of Monza, that brings again to life the legendary Sopraelevata, the high-speed oval where races were staged until 1961. SPA-Francorchamps and other circuits are in development and they will be included in additional expansion packages.

EXCLUSIVE CARS


The Assetto Corsa physics engine is all new, using practical knowledge acquired from working closely with the elite of motorsport in order to engineer the best possible accuracy of physics and tactility of feeling.
A physics engine like this begs to be used with officially licensed contents: Abarth, BMW, Classic Team Lotus, Ferrari, KTM, Lotus cars, McLaren, Mercedes, Scuderia Glickenhaus, Pagani, Tatuus.

ASSETTO CORSA is also compatible and ready for triple monitor view, Track IR, 3D VISION and the new OCULUS RIFT!

GAMEPLAY & FEATURES


We probably should have a thread for this.





Assetto Corsa includes a career mode, a list of special and unique events and challenges, as well as a fully customizable, single player and multiplayer modes featuring quick races, race weekends including free practice session, qualifying session and race. Drag races, drift challenges and much more! Four driving assist profiles (gamer, racer, pro, plus a fully-customizable profile) allow any kind of player to enjoy the simulation at their desired level.

MODDING & CUSTOMIZATION

Assetto Corsa will allow for considerable customisation and modification, in order to satisfy the expectations of professional simracers, gamers who prefer to approach the driving experience more progressively, and hobbyists who just like to reproduce and share their cars and tracks, taking advantage of the same editing tools developed and used by the developers of the game.

Is Imola drivable right now? If so, I want to see you take the MP4-12C GT3 around that track. I've run it in F1 2013 and I've found it to be pretty tough to throw down a good lap.

Yea, it's derivable. I can try and upload a couple laps later tonight.

--Wait someone already has a video of that.

Corvette and Nissan got licensed a bit ago.

As you have probably noticed, since the beginning Assetto Corsa was primarily centered on European content. There are several contributing factors as to why this is, first of which is location of Kunos Simulazioni R&D; having been working on this project in the past four years with limited resources and budget it was easier for our development team to access the cars and tracks found near the studio.
Despite the current European focus of Assetto Corsa we are suprised to see that a big part of early access sales has come from the U.S.A. Thank you so much for your support!
Well, we have decided to thank all the American people (and all of our patrons) for the great support they have shown our game with a new exciting license addition: Assetto Corsa welcomes the Corvette! The new amazing C7 Stingray 2014 will be added to Assetto Corsa as a free content, and the incredible and beautiful Corvette C.7 race car will be part of the Dream Pack that will include ten cars and the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife! We will keep you updated with the work in progress on these new exciting car models: ciao America!

In a recent poll we asked to gamers which car Brands they would like to get in Assetto Corsa: a special place in the collective imaginary is occupied by Nissan, also thanks to NISMO®, the official in-house racing arm of Nissan. The vehicles it creates have one goal in mind: that every time you see a NISMO® badge, you’ll know it’s something extraordinary.
The flagship of GT-R.® . Engineered with brilliance, designed with an undeniable edge, and most importantly, fueled by passion without a redline. That's why we are so proud to announce the addition of the Nissan GT-R Nismo 2014 and Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 for Assetto Corsa: the Nissan GT-R Nismo 2014 will be included in future as upgrade of the game, while the Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 will perfectly match the Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit, scheduled to be completed and released for Assetto Corsa on September 2014.

We are pretty confident that this new agreement with NISSAN will satisfy both the street car enthusiasts, and the simracing drivers who, with this addition, will get an amazing line-up for their GTR races in Assetto Corsa.

Here is a FOV (Field Of View) calculator made for Project Cars. Its seems to work well for AC too.

Set my FOV to 36. I have never ever felt so much like I was actually sitting in a real car in a game as I do right now.

Corvette and Nissan got licensed a bit ago.

That is awesome !

The more I play this, the more I love it. I have been going through the menus and the amount of things that you can change is incredible.

I have everything maxed out graphically and its just beautiful. For some reason, I'm attached to Monza 1966 track, love it.

 

[Garrett67]

Here are a few screenshots Swarley. I can't quite handle that car yet and don't know the track very well, so I took some stills.
Last 3 are the Lotus on Monza 1966 track.

If you happen to watch the entire video, this is an older build.

So I downloaded Laguna Seca and Lime Rock earlier today. For being works in progress they are phenomenal. Mads will make this game last a long time.
