netKar Pro and another title, coexisting?

Wow. Surprise, surprise. 8-)

[57goldtop]

I see this is attracing a lot of interest here :laugh:

There's already snippets of information coming out about this and I'm willing to bet there will be a lot more interest come Friday :ohmy:

[DjMC]

Yep, had to go into Google cache (http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:_IhszzEVU44J:www.flyingpig.info/assettocorsa/+http://www.flyingpig.info/assettocorsa/&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk) to find the info', but:

Laser scanned tracks
The highly acclaimed ForceFeedback feeling of netKar Pro and Ferrari Virtual Academy is rewritten from the ground up and greatly improved
AC will combine the highest level of realism with official licensed cars and tracks, developed in partnership with racing circuits and car manufacturers, in order to represent one of the most realistic driving experience on the Windows PC platform
AC is conceived to be moddable from the ground up, permitting the sim community to express its high skill and talent by creating new cars, tracks and even full blown total mods
Our devblog will not be used to create hype but just to show everybody that we are a passionate small team that works on what we love most; simracing


Also found a couple of screenshots in Google cache, but apparently the devs don't want people posting them as some deals are yet to be done. Jeez I'm excited though :D

Kunos does some mighty fine work. Some of his older stuff here. If you can sync these for a bit you can see he does a good job and it feels good to use this sim.
i would love to have bikes and cars. Whats the big deal?:?:

[DjMC]

Kunos always goes on about the lack of decent controllers with regards to bikes. Personally I think a 360 pad is good enough. IIRC in the video you posted (which's a v.early demo on a namie track btw :)) the guy's using a G25, although I found that tricky myself.

very impressive

this could be the game of 2012 if it goes mainstream

[zaril]

very well :laugh:

I'm excited for the simracing community in 2012. There doesn't appear to be any shortage of products in the pipeline. Looks like it's going to be a great year.
Based on the overall quality of NKP and barring a step backward...(which I don't envision) this should be great. All I'm asking for is more immersive sound. That was the one great failing of NKP. It always sounded too 'clinical'. I still absolutely hate the bottoming sound. It was horrible.

[DjMC]

From the trailer: "Improved sample based sound engine (brooOOOmm!)" :) I agree on the bottoming sound (as do a lot of other people). That was changed in 1.3b iirc, just use one from the previous version.

Is the old sound available anywhere? The new sound is like someone kicking a tin can down an alleyway.

[gears]

And it's going to have AI. That's the seller for me.

[Hoshi]

OMG! Straight purchase! 2012 will be a great year for us sim-addicts :thumbup:

Right click here (http://netkarcentral.com/downloads/mods/bottom.wav) & save as then replace the sound in c:\nkpro13\sfx.

P.S. that's not my site, it's a community site someone started then gave up on :)

Thanks. More of a scrape than a clunk now.

[HarunaAmami]

So hype for this!!!

But 2012?

[guybo]

http://www.virtualr.net/asetto-corsa-first-previews

Holy crap- laser scanned tracks, lots of cars, moddable, offline against AI, online etc etc. Wow- if this turns out to be true, maybe I've been watching the wrong two games (GTR3 and rF2) and I should keep my eyes peeled for this one!

[Chronus]

And it's going to have AI. That's the seller for me.

That in itself is the big punch!

But...adding AI adds a whole new dimension of difficulties to development. It will require a LOT of time to develop and probably to support it.

[DjMC]

I do remember once Kunos complimented the AI in LFS (on DrivingItalia). That scares me :P

[freejrs]

It says the physics will be like NetKar X10!!!!

Here is me thinking which is going to be best out of GTR3, rFactor 2 and CARS........and low!!!! The answer reveals itself to be a new sim from Kunos!! :-D

SIMBIN, ISI and SMS.............be afraid, be very afraid!!!!:lol:

as far as I know LfS AI uses the same physics assets then human car.

most sims use much simplified model... that's why it's so hard to match accelerating, braking distances and so on.

now LfS AI just need to learn to drive :-)

Just few notes about videos you see. This is obviously just a work in progress version, so what you see is just what they have in the current stage of development. A lot of the things you see are not completed. Sounds, for example, are just place holders. Same for some of the effects on the lights/shadows, and so on and so on. Take those videos as a preview, and not of course of the final result.

4 days of hard working on the triple screen support gave good results. Marco is taking the victory shots.. I've earned my beer for tonight.

I think a 680 should easily manage 60fps (render each screen seperately).

Ya we have time of the day from morning to evening, no nights for now.

[Pizzaman]

And it's going to have AI. That's the seller for me.

I hope it gets 'online AI'.

That way, another game is open: see who can kill the most of them.
Road Rage!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

TBH Yes it might sound silly... but I bet lots of people will love it.

[zaril]

We're terribly sorry to announce that the development of Assetto Corsa will be delayed because of the implementation of the turbo and the Lotus 98T... The dev team is very busy, setting lap times, crashing hard everywhere and generally having a great time. Sorry guys, we're working hard to make it perfect. :P

Looks awesome. Similar to the Osella in nkPro I guess.

This looks like a plain Morgan LMP2 to me :wub:. Would you care to confirm or correct?

Another update was posted on their Facebook page, some cool screens of Fiat 500s and some interior shots.

[jucke]

From AC facebook page:

"First of all all, we would like to apologise for the lack of updates and news related to the release of Assetto Corsa. We have been working very hard on the Assetto Corsa project and before we make any more announcements we have had to wait until everything is in place. Now, at last, we can share some important information with you, our fans.

Almost a year ago, on December the 23rd, 2011, we announced that we are developing a new PC racing simulation, “Assetto Corsa”. Our aim was to be able to release the game one year later, during 2012’s holiday season.

We will not reach this goal. Assetto Corsa has been delayed and the release is now expected within 1st quarter 2013, as some of you may already know. The “Assetto Corsa technology preview”, a graphics benchmark, expected to be released in 2012, has been delayed too.

We know a lot of people are keenly waiting for the release of Assetto Corsa, and we wish to thank them for the support they have given us since we announced our most ambitious project.

If you are an experienced gamer you will already be aware that these kind of delays can happen, and will know as well that reasons for such delays can be boring. But, trust us, this is not the case, because the reasons behind our decision to delay Assetto Corsa for a few weeks are the best possible.

We just ask you to remember that what you have seen, what we are able to show you, is just the tip of the iceberg. It is not possible for us to help you understand the amount of work we have put in, as well as the many situations that can determine some of our choices.

Anyway, on December, 21st 2012, at 21.00, European time, please connect to www.assettocorsa.net, or www.facebook.com/assetto.corsa , or https://twitter.com/AC_assettocorsa or Assetto Corsa Google plus and prepare yourself for the most unexpected ending we are able to give you…"

[No47]

Sounds good!!!

:)

[Swordsman]

If they only delay the release by a couple of months, it is still a major acheivement in terms of project management (espescially compared to the competition...).

[betterstranger]

In the name of the God!

I knew it! I knew it will be FERRARI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

**** YEAH!

[DurgeDriven]

Keep God out of it please.



**** YEAH

[Raikku]

There's no god. But plenty of great cars in our universe.

There's no god.

That is up to you as a individual but you can't discuss religion here. :?: ( read rules)

So why take his name in vain may offend others. ?
