Challenging track that. Lots of crashes expected while learning that track I think. There's a link to a climb done with a Dallara GP2, insanely fast. It's the camera angle that does it though. |

Today I temporarily reinstalled netKar Pro and drove that track.
It will be so much fun in AC, I can promise that... The natives said I were the fastest lawn mower they've ever seen... It's nice to see this in AC because it shows that modders can - and will - supply us with so much longer tracks as well. Trento-Bondone is some 17 km. Road America... sooner or later, no matter by whom, the Nordschleife... the classical Spa is confirmed to come as DLC... Le Mans I am certain somebody will take care of... I hope somebody will do Zaandvort.

Yep, a lot of tracks that would be nice to have in the future. Mod or DLC.
Sebring, Watkins Glen, Laguna Seca, Brands Hatch, Donington Park, Suzuka, Sonoma Raceway (f. Sears Point, Infineon). Old Hockenheimring for the sheer speed. |

Another track from netKar that I would not complain to get in AC, is Aviano GP. I just drove it again, and it drives very accommodating, complaisant.
The other tracks in netKar I could not care less for, I did not find them interesting, not back then, and still not now. For the fun and comparison, I also reinstalled and tried Richard Burns Rally and GT2 again, but no way you can ever got back to these if you got a taste of AC's physics and feeling of driving, feeling of real mass. Both sims feel like toys now, and the cars way too lite. No going back, never, not even for the Ring in GT2. Deinstalled again. I actually already saw somebody converting netKar cars to AC. In the end, both sims are done by Kunos. I would not be surprised if somebody converts Aviano as well, sooner or later. And you're right, Suzuka is another of those wanted tracks of mine, and maybe Laguna Seca, though I never used that often, I just like that hair-raising, steep left right combo, it gives so very dramatic pictures. But Hockenheim I always found extremely boring - the old one as well as the new one.

Just found out that there is a Nordschleife for netKar Pro. Okay, visually it is old, but offers a nice autumn theme for a change, but it drives well and challenging, featuring the very good physics of netKar. The Nordschleife versions I know from GTR2 I could not stand anymore, due to the inferior feeling of driving.
As long as AC does not offer it, the occasional hunger for the Nordschleife could be nicely fed with this one. ! plenty of more tracks in netKar available as well. I never noticed it. Some wanted ones in there... We will see some of them in AC soon, I'm sure.

Apparently this coming Friday's Ferrari F40 will do its duty on the modern Monza track.
Also, ingame pics of new dirt shaders have been released. These are not part of upcoming 0.4 . Click the pics. In their forum a team member stressed that these pics show a feature that still is under heavy development - it may still change its looks until it gets released, that means. http://www.virtualr.net/assetto-cors...hader-previews

That's a lot better than the mirrors they have at the minute.

Wow, great site! Thanks!
Didn't know Hockenheim was that old, and what a different layout it had. |

Steve,
check the thread I launched on nKpro ("The steal deal for..."), it might be for you. God sim, and many of the often demanded tracks are there, Brands Hatch long, Laguna Seca, Suzuka, Donington, Le Mans, Snetterton, Nordschleife amongst them. Sim: 4 Euros, tracks: free, demanded specs: low. Perfect for the older or low end system, laptop, with superb feeling of driving something that behaves physically correct. Online it still is active, but I cannot say to what degree there is activity. There are videos at youtube from a multiplayer series done this year. So it definitely is not dead at all. And I do not expect it to die too soon, because quite some players cannot run Assetto Corsa, due to not strong enough hardware, or sticking with WinXP (which ASdoes not support).

Strong hints emerged that the Ferrari 599X and the BMW M1 Procar also will be part of coming Friday's 0.4 package.

Action day at Steam, AC can be bought for 26.24 Euros currently! The final price for version 1.0 will be around 44 Euros or so.
It is -20% for Early Release Access, and -25% due to special sales day. Get. It. Now. Tomorrow's release of 0.4 apparently will also include the Z4-GT3

Well I bit the bullet and went for it. So now I just have to wait for the download to finish and get the settings all figured out and then I'm going to give it a try.
