STREAM Look What The Cat Hacked In - S2E03
Look What The Cat Hacked In - S2E03
Sunday's episode was a light one, clocking in at just above 60 minutes. There are, however, some interesting things that were discussed, such as DRS, graphics, new tyre models and... surprise, suprise: Assetto Corsa 2. Below the video you'll find a breakdown of the most important parts of this episode of "Look What The Cat Hacked In", including a detailed Q&A session.

DLC Tripl3 Pack
Together with the release of the console version in Europe (August 26th), there is also a new DLC coming our way: the tripl3 pack. As far as we know, it will cost 2.99 EUR, and will feature 3 cars. However, not just any cars but:
Ferrari FXX K
The FXX K is the R&D program of Ferrari starring the first hybrid prototype of Maranello. The initials K refers to the "Kers" technology (kinetic energy recovery) for maximizing performance on the track. Free from homologations and regulations, the FXX K has been developed with no compromise... -
ACC Early Access - Release 5
It's update day. Steam servers will be hard at work once more, because Kunos released version 0.5 of their Assetto Corsa Competizione title. As usual, we have new content: the New Emil Frey Jaguar G3 and the Zolder circuit, in its laserscanned beauty. Aside from this, I would say that the most notable feature are the new ECU maps for all cars.
Zolder Circuit
In their own words, Zolder Circuit is 4 kilometres of asphalt, 10 curves of which 3 chicanes, a daring Sacramentsheuvel and 2... -
AC Update Assetto Corsa RC v1.0.0 is out !
Whoo hoo ! The awaited 1.0 version is out, after a few weeks of total silence (and probably hard hard work)! 1 year and 8 months down the line from the Tech Preview this is the first feature complete released version of Assetto Corsa. Of course there will be some bugs and issues here and there to be iron out - hence the RC title - but I'm sure it's gonna be a treat !
I'd write more, but I'm eager to go on track, and you're probably too busy racing anyways , so I'll leave you with the full list of added features and the release trailer. See you... -
Photogrammetry and Star Wars Battlefront
Thanks to @Mr Whippy 's hint, I "stummbled" accros this presentation : Photogrammetry and Star Wars Battlefront. Forget about EA, forget about SW. Look at the process of creation. So inspiring. And so revealing. To see how much work people put into creating state-of-the-art content. And also to get an idea about the tools we have acces to nowdays. I strongly suggest you to watch the presentation. It gives an overwiew on the approach, and it's filled with small very usefull... -
NEWS netKar Pro to become Freeware
Yes, you read that right. In a series of tweets, Stefano Casillo (the lead programmer over at Kunos) announced that on December 1st, 2015 the multiplayer lobby of netKar Pro will be shutdown, and the software will become available as freeware (and no longer supported).
Until then, the license verification was already deactivated, which means that if you have a pay code you can share it with friends and the product will get activated for unlimited time.
For those of you that don't know what nK is, I'll say only this: it's beyond... -

NEWS Porsche Pack 3 - plot twist
No, release date didn't change . However, it seems that the reproduction of the 911 RSR 2017 turned out to be a little more complex than initially thought. And as the release date for PP3 is next week, the team decided to do a backflip and give it proper love. Until January.
Ok, then what do we get ? Good question. We get (as the community asked a lot actually) the 911 Turbo S, as part of the PP3. And when the RSR will be ready, we'll get that too, for "free". As part of PP3. A very good deal if you ask me. Oh, you didn't.. Well, now that I've said it, can't take it back.... -
NEWS Marco's Interview on ILVIDEOGIOCO
Being an Italian studio, Italians do have some advantage over the rest of the world following Assetto Corsa. One example is this interview in Italian, by Eduardo Ullo for ILVIDEOGIOCO. However, this is 2017 and thanks to online tools like Google Translate, we can get a pretty good idea about what has been discussed, even if some translations artifacts might be in there. The ones I could spot, were corrected. The ones that you spot, please let us know in comments below .

RELEASED-wip [WIP] Hope Racetrack v0.5
Read the RELEASE NOTES
for up-to-date details .
******original posts******
Anyone knew Hope Racetrack in rFactor 1 ? One of the best looking tracks on that engine, if you ask me; made by the hands of @lemax (Miseluk, anyone ?), who was kind enough to allow us the conversion towards Assetto Corsa. Currently, work is in progress, hope(ing) to get a drivable version by the end of this week. Well, actually the track is... -
DLC Ferrari 70th Anniversary Pack, September 19th
Yes, it's happening. A little out of the blue, the latest DLC for Assetto Corsa will be released on September 19th. Again, we'll be seeing a mixed pack of cars, one of which we all voted for. Ahm.. well, sort of saying. I didn't . That's the current F1 car, the Ferrari SF70H. (if you wish to have a look back at the poll results, you can; here).
The other models in the pack are:

TUTORIAL Getting Danish landscape information Tutorial Part 1
Does not work anymore!
The download site has been removed and been replaced with something, that I have yet to understand how to use.
It is still possible to go to the http://miljoegis.mim.dk/cbkort site and view Ortho photos across the ages.
I have used this with Greenshoot to get earlier Ortho photos piece by piece.
Happy Racing
There are multiple types of data, helpful to the trackbuilder available from the Danish government.
Such as DHM (The Danish Height model) and Orthophotos (airplane photos). DHM consists of LIDAR, that is LAS pointclouds compressed into... -

We'll get once more to have those sneak peaks in the development of our favorite sim, with the last announcement made by Kunos team. For every 1k Likes, a new set of images will find their way onto the Assetto Corsa Facebook page. So do share away !
"Dear AC followers,
With Assetto Corsa’s debut on Steam Early Access, we almost stopped sharing some of our WIP images from production (except for those which were close to released, oh, and of course the awesome pics created by our AC fans).

ACC Early Access - Release 4
Once again, Kunos keeps strictly to their announced schedule. Today is release day for update 0.4. Aside the multiple fixes and improvements, we have new content : the Ferrari 488 GT3 and the Hungaroring circuit. I would however NOT minimize one feature, very dear to my heart: Broadcasting Mode SDK to ACC - yes, broadcasting is definitely an important part of the current simracing movement. Notice the SDK part, because it's important. It marks the first "official" modding capabilities of ACC.

NEWS Assetto Corsa 2015 and beyond - as they called it.
One year back (and one year before that) "as usual", Kunos prepared a big announcement for December 31st. This year is no exception, even if it also throws a glimpse to what has already happened before looking towards 2016. While it is true that hopes were to release about 50 cars in 2015, we did see no less than 32 new cars added to the game, as free bonus content or DLC. Some might argue about "countless" number of DLCs, but I/we prefer this model to any other like "full new game every year" or... -
NEWS Ferrari 70th Anniversary POLL Result
..and the winner is.. but before that, let's make a small summary of this thing: So, this year, Ferrari is celebrating its 70th Anniversary. Being on a good mood, or better yet Marco being a smooth talker , Kunos has the chance to develop and release a DLC on this special occasion. Dedicated to the horsy loving brand. This DLC will include 7 cars. Out of these, 6 were already decided by Kunos before hand. For the 7th, we (you) got to vote. After around 30000 votes (so really, a significant chunk of the player base) the results are.. unexpected .

AC Update AC 1.3.x update(s) + Audi R8 bonus
For the record (as we aim keeping track of all AC's updates) we'll just post this here .
The 1.3 update brought a lot of improvements, most of them pre-announced in the live sessions Stefano used to make. One of my favorites must be the 64bit build, pushing away all those memory limitation situations. You can choose your favorite ones, from the complete changelogs bellow. More so since there were no less than 7 micro-updates since the 1.3 original launch, bringing us a bonus Audi R8 V10 car in the process.
Update 1.3
