Normally you dont hit so many things and continue racing, it does seem a little arcadey as with so much panel damage it should have a bent in corner or two. Also is that car carbon or Aluminium as carbon doesnt bend but as they are relatively cheap cars panels are likely aluminum.

I hope damage at highest level is realistic especially with physics so wheels should be bent by that point and most contact will be effecting your race quite bad if not ending it. A bit of a pain if you lag spike into the car in front or they get you but it should also force people to take more care when passing to avoid contact.

Yeah, I'm a fan of damage in general, especially with big fields. When damage takes 1/3 to 1/2 the field out though, it's not much fun.

I'm sure crash physics data is something that is available for most if not all these cars. Maybe? Whether it translates easy to AC is another story... Airbags. That's what we need. Ones for our wheels at home too. for pro level immersion.

 In the AC youtube clip one of the guys says it's 'toggleable' I wonder how many levels or if it's just off / on?


back to the photo, it look like brush stokes of mud more than scratches. there is no depth to them. The crinkles look like a photo of aluminium foil superimposed/layered over the body. BUT I can't wait to make, some people I won't mention, cars look like that! lol

I would have rather heard the new sound engine than the Euro pop!

I think in the tuesday league I have had only a handful of contacts with other cars over 2 and a bit seasons with some close racing, so its quite possible to avoid damage. Lets hope the netcode jitter gets fixed and maybe have a disable collision above a certain ping to avoid someones connection going nuts and taking out half the field. It will teach people to be more clean when passing I think as it will likely ruin theirs and someone else's race. I mostly try to avoid ruining anyone elses race but as in real racing incidents always happen. If they happen to the same people each race then they need to consider themselves part of the problem.

Unfortunately there are times when the big one happens and not much can be done where with full damage it will tear a race apart if half the field gets taken out. Thats where flags would be good so a yellow can be waved and all slow down approaching the incident hopefully reducing the amount of people effected. I know my kerb crash at Mugello in the e30 races could have taken out most of the field but unfortunately it was just rob that got unlucky and hit my car as it stopped mid track at the front of the field early in the race.

On a completely unrelated topic ;) I think Dick Skin designs should make themselves one of these skins.



Not saying Dick hits other cars often but he is quite a hazard to the scenery, if anyone is to be our crash test dummy I think my Forrest is a great candidate.

Would of it hit by now? I can't remember what time they usually give us updates.

Was reading that Italian blog last night. It gave a lot of hints at tomorrow. But. who really knows? Only the KUNOS boys for sure.
So Guybrush might be getting a bit more roughage in his diet after all? I for one, will take his word for it. I certainly do not want to see the HD clip on youtube of Guybrush consuming his own underwear. There are too many levels of wrong.

I think I'm safe.  Normally the releases have been anywhere from 10pm Friday night to 3am Saturday morning eastern.

To think I wore this same pair of jocks all week for nothing.

If your real confident you will extend  the offer for next week which is more likely. They said they will give important info this week and there have been many that were at the press day saying an rc will be out a couple weeks before going official. I dont think theyd be talking about the closed beta as they have already had it for a week or 2.

More than anything, I want the sound to be improved. That's the area where it needs improvement (and the netcode).

Hi there.
We start from the baseline car manufacturer data. Then we usually apply the BoP on the engine, fuel tanks and aero ( for example the height of the rear wing). We do not modify the weight with ballast penalties because we would like to offer that option individually for every car in the server at some future update... Not sure we will make it and when but that's the plan.

Also:

Announced improvements made on the tire model are:
Blistering: When the tires get too hot, small "heat bubbles" will form, and then little pieces get ripped from the surface of the tire.
Graining: Very often, this happens when the tires are getting abused, or is a bit too cold for the treatment it get's, it can very easily happen at the start of a race, if the tires are not brought up to correct temperature.
Blistering and graining are non-reversible, and you will lose grip and have slower lap times once you've encountered these problems.
