The biggest area where AC needs refinement is the AI. The amount of fan made Mods for cars, tracks, and racing apps is testament to that positive fan response. A racing sim can only hope that the experience it creates is one that resonates with as many sim racers as possible. No one racing sim will ever be able to generate FFB that will appeal to everyone. How we as individuals experience them and interpret them is unique to us. (For the record I am in the crowd that finds AC FFB feels a tad too mechanical but have found the upgrades done in the DLC pack have definitely improved it.) There is an art in reproducing such effects. For others the FFB of AC is OK but feels too digital and not organic enough. For many fans, AC gives them that information in the best manner ever. FFB simulates as much as possible for players using a wheel and pedal set, the G Forces, torque on the steering column, wheel forces, and road surface. And now, with the release of the first DLC pack for AC – the Holy Grail of tracks for many racing fans – a laser scanned version of the Nurburgring-Nordschleife also known as, ‘The Green Hell.’ (Note the GP and Sprint versions of the Nurburgring were included in initial release of the game.Īll video games are a mixture of technology and art and nowhere is this more evident than in racing sims when it comes to the areas of FFB and Artificial Intelligence(AI).
You also have Drag, Drift and Hill Climb tracks. In terms of Circuits you have Imola, Magione, Monza – current and historic, Mugello, Silverstone, Spa Francorchamps, and Vallelunga. You’ve got Porsche, Ferrari, BMW, Lotus, Abarth, McLaren, Mercedes Benz, Alfa Romeo, Tatuus, KTM, Pagani, P4/5 Competizione and a few others. The pedigree of cars that AC has obtained official licences for is staggering. But as for actual racing? Well let’s dive into that after exploring what this DLC adds to the base model of AC. AC excels in so many areas – car and track modelling, car and track selection, graphical fidelity, highly detailed car interiors, and for many it is the pinnacle of racing sim physics and force feedback. The opening splash page of Kunos Studios’ Assetto Corsa proclaims itself as, ‘Your Racing Simulator.’ Oh the irony! Assetto Corsa(AC) delivers a lot of goods on a lot of racing sim fronts but the current state of the sim has rendered that claim into the rallying point for dividing the fan base.
