Assetto Corsa Competizione | Talk & Drive Gameplay Videos

[Paul Jeffrey]

Check out the different weather and time of day conditions in Assetto Corsa Competizione – Talk 'n' Drive + new videos.

Assetto Corsa Competizione is the new official Blancpain GT Series racing simulation from Kunos Simulazioni, representing a first foray into the world of a fully licenced dedicated racing simulation from the rapidly expanding and increasingly impressive SRO managed GT3 spec endurance racing series.

With the new game released on Steam Early Access this September 12th, Kunos have taken the opportunity to add a wealth of weather effects and time of day 24 hour cycles previously impossible with the original Assetto Corsa, adding a very welcome new set of elements many believe to be essential requirements of a modern racing simulation.

Today we check out the simulation as we go through a full day – night – day cycle, and see what some of the newly added inclement weather options look like in the sim by way of a good old RD Talk 'n' Drive.

Talk & Drive With Paul Jeffrey

In to the Morning

Racing at 9am in dry conditions, 10 minutes, 96% AI difficulty.

ACC continues to impress in the many lighting conditions, this time we see the sun coming up and watch the early morning break across the track... lovely.

Night Rain

Racing at 11pm in “light rain” conditions. 10 minutes, 100% AI difficulty.

As I say in the video, and even despite the low FPS caused by the conditions and stress on my PC, that combination was easily the best experience in sim racing I have ever had. Simply outstanding.

As you can see in the above videos, ACC certainly offers a very impressive visual experience, matched by a wonder level of immersion and feedback behind the wheel.

Very impressive indeed.

Just try it and it defines a new standard for sure.

Really really great, sounds and ffb.
Thanks Kunos and Stephane Ratel.

Hopefully for me it works like a charm with my Simplicity SW10C+.

 

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

Would you mind sharing your pc specs, Paul ? Thanks

 

[GP20]

I7-7700K, 1080GTX.

 

[MeNoMoney]

Hopefully for me it works like a charm with my Simplicity SW10C+.

Just bought it and yet to try. Wanted to see what others with osw dd kits say about it and if have to alter ini file settings or not.
Also praying VR runs and looks better then the to me, crappy qaulity R3E and IRacing VR.

 

[Zombie Boy]

Anybody else having issues with FFB? It just seems really laggy to me (T300RS wheel).

Hopefully this will be ironed out in future updates.

how come your lights work at night? mine don't and from the looks of it on steam and other places, neither do many others.


EDIT: this has since been remedied with a workaround turning off opponent visibility

 

[Dady Cairo]

In cockpit view - the right arm always tries to grab after the steering wheel continiously..
the left arm not.Wheel rotation on Thrustmaster T300? 900 degree is much too much.

DC
...can't get the head lights to work too.

Nothing to alter in my opinion.

 

[Koen Verlinde]

FFB feels light at 90%, but that's probably cause I could only find minimal force and basic gain levels to adjust, headlights don't work, but besides that it's pretty impressive.

It's a bit rough, certainly in stormy weather it can feel nip and tuck, but how the FFB just dissapears from you when you're aquaplaning. That's brilliant.

 

[falster]

turning "opponent visibility" to off. makes all lights work. I just don't know why, or what this setting actually means in lieu of that, as I can still see the opponents

 

[Rory Wetherington]

set opponent visibility to 0 in graphics options, and in car press "L" key and headlights worked for me.

 

[falster]

lol...... see above...

but thanks mate

story of my life always just a little bit late

no worries bud cheers tho

really dont understand the massive fps drop you can have from new games such as forza, f1 which i can easily run at near 200fps to this thats running at 60fps with 10 cars on track and the graphics arent that much better, if anything in places they're on par with current games.

Hoping its just because its an early build and unoptimised

that , and theres also probably a lot more going on under the hood in this compared to those two, which I guess eats up more graphical and cpu processes

the early access will be a big factor though. AC ran like a turd initially as far a s I remember.

So glad someone else is having both of these problems, especially the drivers right hand constantly moving, and don't really understand why these 2 bugs seem to be random to some user's..

Anyone know in Steam/userdata/number/??? what folder links to ACC?

 

[motoliser]

This game is just a drill for AC2.
Unsurprisingly unimpressed.

 

[Tennracer]

I cant believe how many people don't fully understand that what we have right now is not the full finished build of the game. It clearly states this in the beginning of the game that its not all there and not the finished product.
