AC Update Assetto Corsa v1.13
"It's better to be late, than to arrive ugly" - Darcy Gilmore
In today's special: some old news . But you know, it's still good to have a full history here, and maybe have a look on how AC evolved. For example when AC2 will be released . And while we're at it, let's make also a forecast - Assetto Corsa 2 will be out in 2021.
Anyhooo.. back to our subject-matter, update v1.13 was made available to download on Steam on March 22nd (wow, time flies), featuring the Mazda MX5 NA and the Mazda 787B as FREE bonus content. Most importantly though, v1.13 also... -

DLC Ready To Race
A new set of 10 cars, that may be different inside this pack but one can find good matched inside all the content released so far by Kunos. Amongst them, the mythical rally car Toyota Celica. This could be seen as a sign of Kunos supporting (maybe improving ?) the dirt physics somewhere in the future ? Who knows.. for the time being we can just enjoy what we have. So, here what RTR brings:
"Ready To Race" includes 10 new cars from AUDI, Lotus, McLaren, Maserati and Toyota, providing the "most wanted" models ready to race! This provides a great variety of models that mix... -
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... -
AC Update Assetto Corsa v1.14
With the release of RTR DLC, we have also seen the release of Assetto Corsa update 1.14. Or the other way around. However, even though DLCs and updates are often released together, they are not linked. Meaning that you will automatically benefit from the update even if you don't buy the DLC.
Since the release of update 1.13, there were approximately 2 months gone by. This usually means that the changelog is quite consistent and aside from... -
Modding for ACC - Is it possible ?
Assetto Corsa Competizione uses the Unreal Engine 4 ..engine. So modding (generally speaking) is definitely possible. I can only imagine the possibilities with the tools available (e.g. here). However, at this point not much public information is available on the how-to side. What we do know, it Kunos's official position :
"Assetto Corsa’s structure was designed from the beginning to be moddable.... -

NEWS Assetto Corsa 1.0RC is dead ! Long live Assetto Corsa 1.0 !
About two months since the release of 1.0RC, Kunos team launches the 1.0 version of Assetto Corsa. The game is now out of "Early Access" and joins the market as a finished product. However, this doesn't mean the development is over, far from it. Lots of content remains to be brought by the team as free content or DLC during the next year. And we already know the quality we can expect.
As a bonus (and as a tradition) we should keep an eye on their FB page on December 31st. Another important announcement to be made .
Assetto Corsa 1.0RC is... -
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 AC v1.5 Dev Diary - Part 1
Few days (or lots of, depending on which side you are) before the release of the 1.5 Update, Kunos made a public post regarding the current state and some of the plans for the 31st of March. With the 1.5 update, existing players will also receive the Bonus Pack #2, which will feature 3 new cars and a new track (from what we've seen so far). Looking forward to !
It's nice to have a glimpse on the decision making back stories, how and what it is considered before choosing the next step. Here is the full read :

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 .

NEWS Assetto Corsa v1.1 info revealed
Or actually both v1.1 and the dream pack #1. Improvements in v1.1 will be free and available for all current users, while the Dream Pack #1 will be paid, without any info on the price yet. Just the promise that is going to be released in Q1 2015.
Here is the press release:
"Dear followers,

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 Dream Pack getting closer
While there's still no announced date for the Dream Pack release (other than Q1 2015), we are definitely getting closer. The teasing increased lately on their FB page, and some hints are being published by the devs on their personal accounts. Like the one from Luca, on Feb/19: "1.15am - #AssettoCorsa Dev Team and Betatesters are doing a GREAT job together on the incoming update. Hold on! The best is yet to come!". Good news and bad news in the same time, because we can see them cars and roads, but we... -
NEWS D-Day minus 7
Embrace for Dream Pack #1 !
Finally, the teasing is over (well, sort-of). The first Dream Pack in Assetto Corsa's timeline, is available for pre-order on steam, with a special (and incredible) price : 9.99 E (full price will be 14.99 E, after launch).
Launch date is also announced, March 11th, a date I'm sure a lot of simracers marked in the calendar already. I can see those sick leave flowing like crazy beginning of next week . Come to think abo.. oh, sorry, of course I wouldn't..

AC Update Changelog.. backlog :D
It's been a long time since we had some writing here.. about 3 months on the calendar. To give this a positive turn, it goes to show the speed at which AC is evolving. At that time we were speaking about AC update 1.5, which wasn't even out yet. Now we are already at 1.7.5 and we are counting days until 1.8 release, in a couple of weeks.
Every increment of AC updates, brings a nice package of features and improvements. Some might argue these are things that should've been there in the first place, but still.. it's good to see the energy around this project.
Some of the...
