new PC title in development at Kunos Simulazioni: Assetto Corsa

And here a nice hotlap from Luca Sodano, Kunos Simulazioni Sound Designer.
That's an amazing time. Not easy at all to drive that fast. Well done Luca!



a small note from Luca

Please don't go crazy with fps performances at the bottom of the screen, it's Fraps limited for recording purposes.

and one from me: on my pc, with an pretty inexpensive NVIDIA GeForce GTX460 (Asus ENGTX460 DirectCU TOP/2DI/768MD5), I'm constantly around 90-100 FPS.
My personal advice is to spend some time choosing the right options on the graphical panel in AC. You will have a lot of options. Some features are really heavy for your GPU. Some you'll barely notice the difference despite being very heavy for your FPS. Kunos made this on purpose. This engine is ready for the future. Some options will tough for current entry level graphical cards, but it will be not a problem for entry level cards that will be out in few months.
Just find the best balance with what you have now.
On my pc I'm really happy with what I see on the screen, actually my first reaction was more or less like this , without having any problem in FPS.

IS THIS CORRECT FOR AC?
(graziano diceva che.........................)

from AC Forum:

FANATEC Clubsport Wheel BMW Rim (tested on rev.B CSW base)
(tested and suggested by Luca Sodano)

In Fanatec Panel
Wheel angle : of course 900
Dampening strenght: 0

In AC -> Controls -> Advanced
Force Feedback Gain: 85% - 90%

On the BMW rim
SEN: off
FF: 100
SHO: 100 (if you want to use the vibration inside the rim)
ABS: off
LIN: off
DEA: off
DRI: 001
For: 120 (play with this value according to your tastes and feeling)
Spr: 0
Dpr: 20 (try 30 too)

Q: Why do you use DRI setting?
A: DRIFT parameter isn't a "magical" setting that makes you faster. Default settings (with Fanatec drivers 144 and firmware 037) in Assetto Corsa simply make too much dampening, causing a sort of "delay" in oversteer/understeer corrections while driving. It's like you feel them a bit late. With DRI to 001, the wheel dampening is heavily reduced and it becomes more "direct". That's why we suggest the settings above. You will feel every little front tyres movement, every little slide, the grip limit, without make the wheel too lighter and unrealistic (remember the Elise SC, even is lightweight car, hasn't steering assistance). If you still feel the wheel too light around the center, try to raise the Dpr value on the rim.



LOGITECH G25/G27
(tested and suggested by Aristotelis Vasilakos)

In Logitech Panel
Overal effects strength: 100%
Spring effects strength: 100%
Damper effects Strength: 100%
Centering: 0%
Degrees: 900
Allow game to adjust settings CHECKED

In AC -> Controls -> Advanced
Force Feedback Gain: 80% - 85%

Q: Why spring and damper to 100%?
A: Assetto Corsa will take care of everything, don't worry. Only be sure to check "Allow game to adjust settings".

Assetto Corsa Technology Preview:
You can download it also from the RSR mirror

Grazie Andrea, senza il mirror l'avrei provata domani: il sito ufficiale è andato! Vado a stasera le impressioni!

G, celebrating the release

It really doesn't like AA & Motion blur being used together. Framerate drops.

No motion blur with 8xMSAA + 6xFXAA with everything else on max @ 1920x1080 = avg 75fps

Even just add a bit of motion blur and it drops below 20fps.

Haven't got the wheel plugged in yet, just launched it to see performance.

same for me Mark , 75/80 fps

Does it drop down very low when you enable "motion blur"?

Best thing i've driven in simracing since GPL I love it so far. Even with my low spec pc, its averaging 50 fps as well.

motion blur disabled 95 fps

I had hoped to enjoy a bit this TP, but my computer will not let me ... I can get 40/45 fps, but with all graphics to low and resolution to 1280x720 (with Full HD monitor). I have a video quality so poor that distinguish the curves only a few meters before...

Even with the FFB there's something weird, and here I can not explain why. I have a G27 that all curves vibrates in a strange way and oppose much resistance in countersteering... It 's the same for you? When I tried the 500 ss at the Motorshow di Bologna the ffb was not so...

Also, where is 6th gear???

laurent resende wrote:motion blur disabled 95 fps

Are you still getting 75fps then with motion blur enabled? As soon as I enable motion blur along with Antialiasing it hits frame rate badly. What graphics card do you have?

Without AA it doesn't look so nice but full AA with no motion blur looks good.

Try turning off motion blur. It hurts fps badly.

Maybe the game is optimized for belt driven wheels, like rFactor 2 is. Maybe the G27 can not handle the forces correctly without some sort of filtering?

I have a 7 year old G25, and it feels great with AC

I have one 570 GTX, on my other hard disk (I have 2 to licenses netKar) I acquire weaker FPS legerement 70 / 75fps, I have 2 install on my PC with, one with Hdisk in Sata 2 (3gb / s and other one in Sata 3 has 6 gb / s, it explains etre had difference

Is already off and all in general is set to the min. possible. Is time to change my GT220

AC is really fantastic!!!! perso has part, as underlines it MARTEEN GPL and NetKar, I have ever seen nothing from similar!!!!!! really has the measure of ntre wait!!!!!!!!!!!! fantastic!!! everything is there!!!!
for the evenement I ordered a pack ice Thrustmaster T500 rs with the Steering wheel F1 Ferrari!!!! lol

Yes, everyone says that it feels great... I do not know what can be...

Hey guys, I also had the chance to try out the TP some days earlier and made a small review.
I think I have covered almost every aspect of the game, so there's plenty of footage to see, even when you don't understand what I'm saying, as I'm speaking German.
Enjoy and feel free to share it, too! You can try and enable the subtitles, they are a bit silly sometimes but they also work well at some other points.

I wouldn't imagine that hard drives would make any difference on fps. sata 3gb is fast enough for any game really.

Are your game settings on maximum quality(everything on full)?

Luca Orsetti wrote:Is time to change my GT220

I'd say so That card is 4 years old and wasn't a gaming card even when it was new, so not surprising you are getting poor performance.
