A real low point.
...a recent pc that plays AAAs at 4k/90fps isn't enough anymore for 20 cars races, AI splines and AI pitting misteries at every update, as you said decent ruling and endurance are pure Candy Mountain, race strategies are bad, rain is a joke, CM looks like a cougar and behaves like a 13 old kid and it can't install mods properly doubling your work on every mod update while even my ex-wife knows the Assetto Corsa directory at heart, most of the times no proper AI set-ups unless you gut a car and pork with .inis, the marvelous TreeFx is just gpu spike after gpu spike, the best payware modders are all head down is some kind of race for glory like pretending this mess actually works, lol it's crazy.
But...we have Apple Car Plaaaaay
When I see any N24 content created by the community I just think "Why bother...", emulating a decent +2 classes race is just science fiction for so many reasons.
There's been literally the time to develop a whole new race sim (LMU), which week by week got gud despite few flaws, while we are pinned down by all kinds of basic-ish issues. (I mean "whole new sim" as a product, I know it's based on blahblah and bicker banter)
I get why some folks slams and blast the incoming Project Motor but in THIS situation, from the lowest and tightest windows of the AC+CSP basement, everything feels like a breath of fresh air, the Assetto Corsa folder feels like a dark mass in my PC.
A tumor I wanna nuke.
