And not to mention the countless track skins that some people post. How not to find the pepperoni-ac24 Dirt Old Town skin for Fat-Alfie´s Fonteny something fantastic? Really back to basics, the roaring 20´s !!!For me, AC is the vintage sim of my dreams. Actually, with tracks like Fonteny, it's better than my dreams.
Basically, what immerses different people is different. There's no right answer to "this is the most immersive detail" because it's up to the individual, in the same way as any subjective thing. For some it's fidelity in a tyre model nothing else matters, for some it's the realism of graphics. Nothing wrong with either.
But for me, one of the ones that gets me is the setting and location for the tracks as well as the fields. There are several games with believable vintage content but none with the quality and breadth of tracks that, in particular FatAlfie has produced.
For example, just off the top of my head, we have pre-80s versions of:
- FatAlfie (Fonteny, Thomson, Deutchlandring, Bremgarten, Battenburg ring, Feldbergring)
- Lilski (Bridgehampton, Riverside)
- Sergio Loro (Stardust, Watkins Glen, Zandvoort, Rouen, Hockenheim, Norisring, Sudschleife and many more)
- Reboot Team (Spa, Monaco, Interlagos)
- Tiago Lima (Longford)
- Terra21 et al (Le Mans, Imola)
- @Zwiss (Spielberg/Osterreichring)
- WilliamTRiker (Fuji, Nurburgring)
- Tyrone (Sebring)
- @Italotracks (Napoli)
- THL (Russelsheim, Gelsenkirchen)
- Thrashy (Lake Garnett)
- @GaryUK (Bryar)
- Jim Lloyd (Donington)
- @RMi_wood (Keimola - and countless other bits of help on others)
- Abulzz (Targa Effing Florio!)
And sorry to look the gift horses in the mouth, but so many more in the pipeline! Such as Zwiss' Crystal Palace, Italotracks' Pescara, THL's Tulln and whatever Sergio and FatAlfie may surprise us with.
For this kind of thing, to value and remember the heritage of motorsport, I opened a time ago a thread in RD for suggestions of lost and forgotten F1 skins, which could be included in AC. If a talented skin maker is interested (because unfortunately I don't have this skill), follow the link: https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/looking-for-a-skin-for-lotus-33.246440/
