Anything else to add to the discussion? Have you actually played AC or are you so far up PCars exhaust pipe you can't see anything else?

Quickfix released, 19 MB. That was fast!

So far no readme.

Herr Berbunch, don't feed him!

For such debates, there is the steam forums (that I have learned to avoid). In the tankforum, he has linked tanksim realism to looks, calling an action tank game a realistic sim because it looked nice to him. Shows what he is looking for in a "simulation". Here he does the same with PC and AC. Nothing wrong in his playing taste and game preferences, I only wish that people would not call action games "simulations". iR, rF2 and AC, are a very different kind of racing titles, than GT and PC are.

Earlier on Saturday, another quickfix was released.

Gentlemen, our status now is 0.82.

-Default launcher theme: results screen will not automatically display if no laps were output by the sim.
-Default launcher theme: starting position display for special event quickraces updated in summary.
-Controls configuration: allow sharing of buttons between sequential gears and H-shifter in manual assignment.
-Clouds culling improved.

Slow news these days.

Skybird · 04-04-14, 11:21 AM

The end of slow news days. Kunos today announced that they secured a new license.

Nissan.

Two cars so far are scheduled, the Nismo GTR2014, and the GTR3. One will be delivered with the Nordschleife pack, the other at an unspecified date.

Monza, first lap, first turn - what...? No pile-up...? What the heck have they done to the AI...???

The red and the blue

Even me finally got used to driving this thing

Momma's boy has been dirty again

Oh happy days!

Kptlt. Neuerburg · 04-07-14, 09:49 PM

And now for something slightly different.

Skybird · 04-10-14, 06:23 AM

BMWs never can be too big.

Looks as if we are getting the Evora GTC tomorrow.

Meanwhile, in another corner of the galaxy:

Skybird · 04-11-14, 10:44 AM

Ah, its that time of the month again... The good ol' waiting game... hours turn into minutes, minutes into seconds...

Skybird · 04-11-14, 12:28 PM

The patch is here, and they call it Zero Point Eight Five:

0.85
- Race Weekend
- AI improvements
- Fuel lap prediction
- Improved mouse with ingame gui
- Gui fixes and improvements
- Animations on secondary elements of the track
- Enable/disable keyboard commands with wheel or gamepad
- Skybox graphical improvements
- Tweaked kerbs volume
- Lotus Evora GTC
- Lotus Evora GX

Race Weekend - mmh, yum-yum!

Skybird · 04-14-14, 06:48 AM

There have been another two small updates since Friday.

The new cars handle very nicely, with the Evora GTC being very pointy and fast, the Evora GX is my new darling car, it handles like a dream, like the 458 in style - but better. It's not just another two more Lotus cars - these two are real star-class cars, believe it! Finally two Lotus cars that feel and handle like by the sound of the word "Lotus" they should.

Real track weapons, with good handling.

The fiurther tuning of the AI has poushed AC's AI generally to a lewvel where now I would sday we start to enter the relam of competitveness, indeed on some trcks and with some cars the aI now already is mucz better than most contesters. When switching off fuel use, quoick races can be as long as 30 laps now, and I had 15- and 20 lap races and today my first 30-lapper with mixed fields of GT class cars - especially at Imola, it was a blast (AI 95%, defualt setups), and without technical problems. In other tracks inside lanes of turns often get too little defended, other turns are approached too cautiously, and braking points sometimes are too early, but all in all the AI really does a very good job by now - many titles in finished status have worse AI. They are on a very good way there. Even the critical cars like the F40 and F599 now can be used in races, the AI still struggles to handle them with the same competence like the McLarens or BMWs, but the worst amok-style behavior has gone.

No word on whether Easter will delay the next update by a week or not. Also, no rumours on any Easter presents.

I have almost 8 GB in skins downloaded now.

Skybird · 04-14-14, 07:51 AM

The new contesters.

Lotus Evora GX

Lotus Evora GTC

Skybird · 04-15-14, 11:10 AM

They are productive, say what you want! Another update today, 17 MB.

Official version number is now 0.87, although I had three updates since 0.85, not two.

Skybird · 04-16-14, 06:07 AM
