new PC title in development at Kunos Simulazioni: Assetto Corsa

At least the spelling (name) sounds like quality-wise to me, that's good (fits to Kunos productions / aims) (as long as you don't think always of an old 'Opel Corsa' model .).
Like you said, lets wait for the full name, maybe that are not the only two words of the title.

alla fine ho capito che non sara il sequel di netkar pro ma che si dovrebbe trattare di un gioco nuovo un nuovo progetto che speriamo abbia ricadute anche su netkar pro

Interesting post by Aris on NoGrip:

It is after all 5 years old and that's only counting the actual nKP years, if you count the namie beta nK years it goes even further back in time. Yes we did lot's of improvements, but at some points you can't teach an old dog new tricks, especially on lower grip cars heavy cars with very stiff suspension...
So inevitably there were some compromises done not in the physics but in the setup of the car. I could do it much more crispy on turn in, but then it could become a bit unstable at higher speeds chicanes... client decided for a more stable and "safer" setup that would appeal to more consumers... choices choices...

but yeah, your impressions of a bit too much understeer if you miss the braking point is correct.

That's why we are working on a brand new sim engine

Well, guys at Polyphony Digital might disagree, thinking about a certain Gran Turismo.

Gran Turismo is well used though (the Cardigans had an album by that name for example). I don't think most people know how to say Assetto Corsa, let alone spell it. Also as Marco pointed out, the Corsa is a $hit little hatchback made by GM (branded as Vauxhall in the UK or Opel in Europe). Either way it's a poor name for an international product.

Hell yeah!
This is were all the posts are stored for the 23rd.
Look at the "DevBlog" even more awesome stuff to find there!

aewsome graphics!
laser scaned!
and moddable!

Its a f****** dream!!!

Thanks for the info man!
Im so pleased that Kunos is moving forward.This man managed 1 thing that any other developer didnt * ...delivered aewsome feeling on our wheels and its the only sim that i never said "hmm it doesnt feel right..",NEVER,not a moment!
Im bored seeing titles like "the best experience" or " most realistic title" etc.. (And im not a fanboy,i like to see things as they are)
Netkar may have many disanvantages but WHEN comes the time to grab the wheel and make a lap i have a BIG smile in my face..

Im so happy that he is here and making this sim now,where big titles are comin,which will be respected cause they are big names in sim racing.
Definetly ill test them cause im searching everyday the realism in sim racing but i will have doubts before testing them..With Kunos i dont,thats the diference.
The things i want are just an official forum were everything will be in one place(no offense,i appreciate everyones work making tracks helping etc but u can find info about netkar in so many pages and it makes it dificult) and better managing in "advertising" the hole project-news-updates..


* Ony exception game stock car which i found the ffb very good but sometimes felt kinda off,but in general was vey good

PS:sry for bad english,hope u understand my points

EDIT: we've been requested to remove those pictures from the forum.

Some higher res versions of the pictues on the page.
I don't know how to make small previews without reuploading them somewhere else.

And I totally agree with you, Vaggelis!
Edit: Does someone know which track is shown in the first picture?

that track is Magione

Wow unbielevable photos..what to say

René Lorig wrote:And I totally agree with you, Vaggelis!

I hope Kunos does also

I think we leaked it and took the surprise away... So it's only fair to have the pictures removed. Thanks Andrea.

Well, well. To those wo had a look at the page: You're lucky!
The page got removed!

I haven't been fast enough.
Well, let's wait for Friday then!

"Sorry,I think the page that you are looking for does not exist"

Why u are lying pig?

i have had time to see, and to smile... but i also wait friday to see more about AC...

Dam it, I was out all day. Read a little bit via Google cache (but the dev blog isn't accessible). Also found a couple of pics (albeit small low res' ones).

Marius, you would not have liked it anyway kidding - so I hope there is something to buy or download on the 23rd - anyone got any news?

I don't think so, but I will be very happy to find a nice surprise for xmas.
They wrote "official announcement" so I guess it's much more showing something about their new product, but...you never know!

I also hope it will be a bit more!
I think the page we found was something like a test-page and a storage page for the 23rd.

our custom / communtiy made NKPro tracks should be convertable to the new sim, so that all that hard/long work at trackmaking
is not useless for AC. But it will be with little conversations (tools) at graphics I guess / hope. I read it will be a 'Modable' sim, so this is probably already the answer to it.

Whatever the new tools are, I hope they come with some sort of documentation

Gentleman, start your rumours!

There was a topic on DrivingItalia where they asked if people wanted AI for the future (eg: not for nKPro).

AI is a must in my opinion. It doesn't have to be great. simbin quality AI is good enough.

Physics are good Kunos et al just needs to update graphics and sounds to 2012 standards then we are all happy.
