After GT6, the thought of having to grind to unlock cars isn't palatable.

With some clever balancing it shouldn't feel like a grind. As long as you don't have to repeat the same races over and over again ;)

To be honest, the career races in AC already feel like a grind. 5 laps, start at the back, unbalanced grids, no real reward or reason for doing them. Having some kind of reward available would help a lot.
 
Another thing i wanted to raise, if i look at the suspension settings of some of the road cars, i find that the tyre pressures are very high (close to 3 bar), and that there's always more negative camber on the rear wheels than the fronts.

I'm not the biggest tuning expert but that's a bit faul no? When i lower the pressures and change the camber around i find the cars driving better so that confirms my thoughts in a way. (I learned tuning with GT though so don't hold that against me :D).

That is because they put the 458 S3 IIRC. That is a copy of Ferrari Challenge specs, with slicks. So it is to be expected to be way faster.

Why they didn't fix that allready is what I don't understand. I'm still yet to try career mode until they polish it.

In any case, with AC you have full control and can alter the career mode or even create your own:

Being able to customize about anything in AC might be one of his biggest advantage, beside physic and FFB, over a lot of other SIM. Since we are all after something slightly (or completely) different, we have a chance to make it perfectly right, at least for ourselves.:cheers:

Personally, I say the less I have to tinker with files the better because I've already had things go wrong from altering something in a .ini file or whatnot. I currently have a brand-new T300RS wheels that's basically non-functional on the PC and I suspect it was due to some file that was tinkered with (wheel works fine on the PS3). I'm going to attempt re-installing Windows and starting over from scratch tonight, and I plan to not alter any kind of files unless absolutely necessary (this is presuming the reload fixes the wheel issue). That's the one huge downfall of PC gaming, it's fine until something goes wrong, and it seems like things go wrong a LOT more than on the console, and unless you're a computer wiz it can be very difficult/frustrating getting things working again.

Just my experience/opinion, of course, your results may vary.

Same here, i prefer not to mess around to much in the 'internals'.
It might be considered a downside to pc gaming, but you choose yourself if you want to risk it as consoles just don't have the options.

Kinda, but not necessarily. I've had all kinds of things go wrong on the PC that just went wrong and weren't due to me tinkering with anything. When everything was functional and I was playing every day, at least once or twice a week I'd turn on the PC and then spend the next 30-60 minutes trouble-shooting whatever issue decided to pop up, and most of them weren't due to messing with any files. So the only choice is A) If you want something that just works, get a console 2) If you want something that works most of the time but goes wrong for inexplicable reasons on a regular basis, get a PC (along with a degree in PC repair).

My experience only, of course, your results may vary.

I'm jealous, I haven't raced or even driven a complete lap in any sim for nearly three weeks now. :( I'm close to hooking the PS3's back up and turning on GT6 just to get my fix. :indiff:

Pardon me but this is something that should be adressed allready by the devs. I'm really a suporter of AC but I shouldn't have to fix something that easy, that they could fix in an hour doing a pass on all career events. If I fix that it will probably be overwriten in some future update. And with the game being now fully released, it's to bad to have such an issue. Not everyone will feel confortable to mess in ini files. Me?? No problem. But I prefer to wait for them to improve AI and then thinking on doing Career. Eventually it seems I will have to fix that myself, which is really bad...
 
I'm planning to enjoy the Dream Pack a bit, before diving heavily into modding more content in (cars, tracks, etc).

I've only played for 2 days thus far, but I feel I have yet to scratch the surface really. Sure others may have problems, others don't, but overall I'm very satisfied with my experience, and only see it getting better as I open up to various mods.

Exactly what I plan to do. Although I am getting a few mods to see what to expect.

To be sure you're getting the best mods, only get them from www.racedepartment.com or the official Assetto Corsa forums. These mods are "vetted" and are generally of good quality, and each will have comments/reviews so you can determine before downloading whether it's worth getting, and you usually have direct contact with the person who created it. There are lots of other places across the 'net you can get mods, but they are usually of questionable origin/quality.

Good luck, and enjoy. :cheers:

Why are you so sure it was a mistake that needs to be fixed? I believe the inclusion of the S3 Ferrari was intentional.

It's nice to have access to modded tracks but for offline single player use with AI it's mostly a bad experience. I stick with the Kunos content for racing the AI and even that is only OK.
Not knocking AC, but it still needs a lot of work. Looking forward to tomorrow's content release, may get more use out of AC.

Lol. So you have to beat him with a car thats a few seconds slower??

Lol. Then it was a really bad idea...

That or you're not supposed to win unless you're an alien.
They do warn you that there is some very fast competition. And, it's not like you need to win every race to move ahead.

Yes but from the beginning all cars are available already for use in other modes no?
Click to expand...
Yes.
Why shouldn't they?
I could understand a career mode where you have to buy cars to advance, but all cars should be available for practice or races, offline and online, not like GT, if you don't have time to grind, you have to pay for cars that you already bought in the box (microcredits), or you could not play with your friends online, this thing make a lot of friends to leave GT.
IMO a think it's better like PCars it's doing, you can choose where you want to start, or what type of cars you want to drive in your career.

It was good racing you tonight @fatkrakr. How often are you guys on? I'd like to get a nice circle of people to run with. I don't have many pc friends. Lol.

Yes it was fun. I raced for like 8 hrs today. :p That room was hosted by someone I met racing 4 or 5 days ago. He has been hosting every night since I met him. He does a more Gran Turismo style of hosting. He likes to change the car and track every race or two. He has 4 or 5 other guys that run pretty regularly with him as well. Its been fun and he keeps the room pretty clean.
 
Anyone else notice a change to the graphics - seems washed out. In addition, I'm now able to bump up almost all of the settings to high/max and still hold 60FPS (5860x1080 w/vsync) - which is a good thing, but it just doesn't look as good as pre 1.1. Nordschleife is modeled very well but not be best graphically compared to say Forza 5 or pCARS.

I had/have my saturation at 120% but still washed out compared to v1.0. The blue sky (clear day) as an example is very unsaturated - light blue at best, the tires (open wheel cars I was running) are light/medium grey for the most part. Other than this issue v1.1 is running very well but now the AC graphics makes pCARS graphics look even that much better - ran Nordschleife in both sims last night.
Maybe it's my configuration but I didn't' have this before v1.1
