Simucube Quick Release system for DD wheels
Almost "out of the blue" a video appeared today:
Over at Granite Devices, the guys behind the Simucube OSW, exciting stuff is going on. After announcing a wireless button adapter a while back, today we find out about a new Quick Release system for Direct Drive wheels. Any owner knows that a good QR is not something to ignore, because any play into the mechanism will add unwanted noise in the FFB. Now, there are of course good QR out there but there's only one problem: the price ! They cost basically almost as much as an entry... -
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... -
REGULAMENT
Bine ai venit si iti multumesc ca ai rezervat cateva minute pentru a citi acest topic.
Cuvant inainte:
Regulamentul de fata e scris pentru a puncta cateva principii de baza privind organizarea campionatului si conduita pe circuit. Insa nu e menit sa acopere toate situatiile posibile si nici sa sperie pilotii inscrisi.
Scopul acestui campionat este relaxarea cu hobby-ul numit simracing si crearea unei atmosfere competitive dar prietenoase.
Bunul simt si fair-play-ul fiecaruia raman cele mai importante ingrediente pentru reusita curselor.
NOTA:
Organizatorii isi rezerva dreptul de a... -

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..
What's included ?... -
NEWS Let the guessing game begin
When we thought that a period of calm will follow after the last update, well.. Kunos is back at it (us?) again. A mysterious message appeared on the FB today:
What does it mean ? When visiting the official website, there is not much info either. Just a counter to know exactly how much longer the wait is. Kunos made sort of a habit to surprise their user base with big announcements (Laser-scanned Nordschleife, Ferrari license, Lamborghini license, Porsche license, etc) and in one of the last interviews... -
DLC Backlog reloaded: Japanese and Red Pack DLCs
2 of them, to be precise. We refer of course, to the same period of time: end of April to present day. It started with probably the most requested DLC in Assetto Corsa: The Japanese Pack. 7 Japanese car icons, with very different personalities, in both classic and modern flavor.
The Japanese Pack was released on May 18th, and for 4.99EUR one got:
Mazda MX-5 2016 and MX-5 CUP
The Mazda MX-5 Miata is famous to be a highly capable racing platform; it is known as the best-selling roadster in the world, and some even claim that this model is the most road-raced car world-wide.... -
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 Toyota License Revealed !
As promised, for every new 1000 Likes, Kunos will share a new behind the scenes "thing" with us. Promise kept when their FB page hit 32K today. How ? With an awesome announcement the license from TOYOTA for some iconic cars. Among them.. this:
No ? Ok, this ?
Still no ? Ok, I'll put it in context a little bit
Exactly !
Don't know about you guys, but for me, street/real cars.. I will not go out of the house again !
Here's the official press release:... -

AC Update Assetto Corsa 1.8 preview
This one comes with special flavor. It's a big milestone in AC's life, and in Kunos' history, since this release coincides with the release of the console version. We don't have the changelog yet, but we do know about some bonus content that will be included:
The Audi S1, which should be quite fun for friendly online races
And the historic Monza's 1960 10 km Sopraelevata circuit (available for the consoles as well), which has been developed using laserscan technology to guarantee the highest level of accuracy for Assetto Corsa. This has been... -
NEWS Bonus Pack 3 - Preview
We have a date: 20th of December 2017. A date that might just mark the last important milestone in the development of Assetto Corsa. 1.
Whether that means we'll be hearing soon about Assetto Corsa 2 or other new product from Kunos, or that we'll just feel the silence for a long time, is almost anybody's guess. We don't know, nothing has been announced officially. Maybe we'll find out more in the traditional end of the year blog. Like in the previous years. But until then, let's enjoy what we do know, and that is the list of goodies:

NEWS The teasing for the Dreampack#2 begins
Because it might be in his job description, Marco Massarutto is actually doing some fine work in teasing us. Now it's dreampack#2's turn.
Started with a nice shot of the SCG 003Cs training on the Nords..
.. followed by a little riddle with this interior shot (most probably from the RUF rgt)..
..aand a surprise non-official shot with these
There's not much announced about the content, but from the little that we know, dreampack#2 will contain:

DLC The Way Back Machine - AC v1.9 & Porsche Pack 1
Motto:
One day, we'll post news when they actually happen, I tell you .
Anyhooooo.. 1.9 update also marked the start of a very special period in AC development. The first officially licensed Porsches, Pack 1. After an exclusive deal that Porsche had with Electronic Arts (..and which lasted around 16 years ! around the release of the NFS Porsche game), the world of simracing is free again. And what better place to feel this than our favorite sim, Assetto Corsa.
Here is what Kunos had to say about it:
Respecting what is now a very long tradition at... -
Amazon's Lumberyard - should we consider it ?
For quite some time now, Amazon is developing its own game engine. That is nothing new. However, in the latest release, one feature might be of interest for the activities around here: new ready-made components for generating roads and rivers.
For full release notes, see there. But to our attention, this extract: Road – Use this component to create paths in the terrain. You can create roads that follow the... -
NEWS Pack Of 6 Cobras Skinned Alive, By Nwrap
New member @NWRAP shared a great pack of skins for the @the_meco's Shelby Cobra. Check them skins out in the AC Skins category. What I love is that every skin has a story behind and they all come from "that" era . There's
A 1963 Canadian GP Shelby Cobra as driven by Ken Miles
Then a 1973 Shelby Cobra 427 as driven by Sam Feinstein
A 1965 Essex Wires Shelby Cobra Replica
A skin "based on the car from Spinout... -
AC Update Assetto Corsa 1.12
Howdy folks,
Time for some reheated news . Assetto Corsa 1.12 was released already 10 days ago, and among the consistent list of fixes and features, we also got some free content: The AUDI QUATTRO S1 E2 and the HIGHLANDS fictional track. Both are very welcomed in our simracing arsenal, of course.
In my book, there is however another big "feature" I was waiting for quite some time: V10 tyre model for all cars. Yay !
NOTE: read in the next post about a possible problem (CPU occupancy) some systems might get... -
[CONCEPT] Club Racing
As the server is on 24/7, why not put it to good use ?
CONCEPT:
Club type races, not a part of the official season's calendar (if one in progress). Every week, 2 races will be held, with the same combo, this way everybody can have a shot of making it to the race.
Registrations:
Club races mean no specific registration is required. You can however let others know you plan to participate - more drivers attract even more drivers .
UPDATE: You can reserve a car for a specific event. Your spot will be guaranteed and... -
