Simulation, Sports
Note:
Although not a full sequel, this release represents a major update of
Assetto Corsa and all of its content, not just a bunch of bug fixes
(we did, however, include the last-minute v1.5.2 patch).
Dream Pack 1-3 DLC's are also included.
Content
The new version includes Ford Mustang 2015, Corvette Stingray 2015, Abarth
595 EsseEsse in three versions and the new "Black Cat County" scenery
available in three different layouts.
A new layout for Vallelunga
Prior to 2005, "Trincea" was the most challenging bend on the Vallelunga
circuit before it was modified to host Formula 1 tests. Trincea ("trench")
is a blind high-speed corner that joins the straight after "Ciminis" to the
slower section of the circuit. On the real track, in spite of Trincea being
permanently closed, the road is still there and it has been captured in our
laser-scan point cloud, which is why we decided to give you the thrill this
bend was able to offer, bringing the number of layouts available for "our"
home circuit up to three.
Sound environment
The 1.5 version brings some interesting updates regarding sounds, an element
absolutely relevant to guaranteeing proper immersion and to get you in the
car. As we are gaining experience with FMOD, we can take further advantage
of its features, while we continue to expand our recordings database. Thanks
to our relationship with racing teams and their kind cooperation, we aim to
keep improving our recording techniques and the overall product.
We always take into consideration our users' feedback, so the 1.5 build
finally features basic reverb effects along the tracks and the car sounds
are differentiated by internal and external cameras. This means that cockpit
cameras use internal sounds, while you can hear the powerful intake sound
from the bonnet camera or the distinctive exhaust sound from the chase
camera. This vastly enhances immersion and realism and gives modders the
chance to further enhance their amazing projects.
Additionally, we now provide an in-game app that permits changing sound
volumes on the fly, so you are not forced to exit a game session. And that's
not all, since the free cameras now use the same distance attenuation of the
track cameras, this is also great news for race broadcasters and video makers.
Not only does the build bring new features, but also many fixes as well,
most importantly gear shift and backfires sounds are now shared by the engine
volume. Sounds are also an important information to the driver: now you can
hear the bottom of the car scraping against the asphalt or any other surfaces.
Graphics
The 1.5 version also takes an important advantage from the strong and direct
connection with the porting process of the code to the consoles, and brings
improvements and new features in the graphics department. Post-processing
filters have been improved, and the improvements also affect how the cars
look. The graphics of the internal instruments have been improved, as well
as car details, shaders and materials. The new build features two new
driving views: an additional exterior view and the "dashcam", based on the
suggestions given by real drivers and simracers.
Tyre model & physics
Starting with tyres; the 1.5 build optimizes the work started with the
previous version and brings all the cars to the latest tyre model and tyre
features. Tyres have now a more realistic load sensitivity, a variable grip
curve after peak, closer performance level between compounds, a brand-new
surface and core heating model as well as more realistic heating operation
range.
Pitstops
One of the most awaited features for single player is finally here. Pitstop
functionalities open Assetto Corsa to endurance racing thanks to the option
of refuelling the car and changing tyres, using the compounds available for
each single car. The pitstop menu also allows repair to the car body (that
affects aerodynamics), suspensions or the engine, with the same
functionalities available for multiplayer racing.
Artificial intelligence
As usual, we have not stopped to keep tweaking and improving our artificial
intelligence. Significant improvements have been made, more specifically the
AI are now more skilled at navigating through traffic and handle racing
situations, offering users who prefer single-player modes an increased level
of challenge and more realistic racing environment.
