Goddamn... Laguna Seca on the twitch stream? Am i about to be a certified arsehole? Hahaha

If it means us getting laguna seca on the 20th, i wouldn't mind being labeled a fool.

Guys, i'm at work and can't dig up and find the posts but laguna seca will not be coming this xmas. It will still be free. But not released in 2017. Sorry to burst your bubble. But i'm as sad as you are...

Any questions for Aris?
@Aristotelis Will you ever finish the Go Faster tutorial featured on the Game&Track youtuve channel? thanks

I wounder if the ALA system is functional in-game?

AnklaX · Dec 17, 2017

My questions for Aris:

- What other changes/updates if any are coming besides the new DLC content?
- Is this the last DLC? Is Kunos moving on to AC2 after this release?.

BrainsBush · Dec 17, 2017

Looking forward to the interview with Aris. Great RD you're hosting this for us!

Aris: First of all thanks for the 'tutorial' vids (hint, hint) and obviously your physics work.
Question for Aris: Do you also test drive the real cars yourself before and/or after let's say you insert the mathematical/physics numbers to the AC cars?
What car experience had the most 'blown away' impact for you. E.g. a classic one or a hypercar?

Thx! Brian

Looks good. The performantey on laguna seca should be a blast.

AccAkut · Dec 17, 2017

Questions:
- What, looking back at the release of the first Elise - Magione tech demo, is the most surprising, unsuspecting development Assetto Corsa made through the years?

- Will your next project (whatever it may be) be as open to modding and content creators as AC is? How do you value your modding community?

Glaurung · Dec 17, 2017

Questions:
- Which is the car whose physic is built with the greatest number of technical data provided by the manufacturer (and/or a racing team)?
- Which is your favourite Kunos car and your favourite mod car?

Jani1980 · Dec 17, 2017

Rain, night, real light for night is a hope and dream

I'd like to add to that quation by asking which car gave you the most joy/satisfaction/pride to work on in Assetto Corsa?

My question for @Aristotelis :

Is the possible to implement the AI controlled car during the race weekend sessions or single race, to select an AI car and let your friend/s to drive that car, while yours is driven by AI?

A manual turn based race weeekend, so to speak.
Geoff Crammond Grand Prix Series had Hotseat Mode Multiplayer to play with your friends on the same PC

Glen vw · Dec 17, 2017

My questions for Aris,

Definitely interested if any other DLC is planned for AC or is Kunos moving onto a new project such as AC2 or another racing title?

What circuit would you want to bring into AC but have not been able to?

Thanks kunos for all the hard work!

Diogo Ramalho · Dec 17, 2017

Hello Aristortelis,

Did you ever get a "no" from the manufacturers when you ask for some specific data? How did you get around in this kind of situations?

How far did you guys go implementing engine mapping?

If we get a successor of AC, how are you guys thinking about the sound engine? Will we get a big upgrade or we will see just an improvement (I remember Stefano saying something about the sound on the first versions of netKar PRO that the "bangs" we heard were the same as the number of "bangs" the engine was doing (RPM related)?

This one is just to mess with you guys (AC staff), but...... where is HONDA cars (S2000, Integra, Civic, CRX, NSX)?

Thank you for all your dedication in AC and wish you all the best.

Best Sim Racing Developer 2015, 2016 and no doubt 2017.

Question to Marco but you can answer it Aris.

During the Sim Racing Expo, when stefano was interviewed by Race Department, the poster at the back with the Porsche on the Green Hell at night, was that a sneaky w.i.p glimps of Assetto Corsa 2?.

Paul Jeffrey · Dec 17, 2017

Spoiler alert. Did some very quick testing tonight to check everything works for tomorrow (as we will be going live not long after I get back from work).

Not going to comment on the cars and track but lets put it this way, I'm in need of new underwear..

Epic stuff
