    Version 0.4 is now available.

    I was able to get EVO to work on 4GB vRAM today, it is a bit rough looking but no lag.
    Someday I hope to find a video card second hand for around 400 or 500 dollars. I was
    looking at a new 4070 and laughed at it, 1600$ and then add 18% sales tax to that.
    I am surely not going to pay that price just to play a game.

    Assetto Corsa EVO: Early Access Update 4 Now Available

    This update introduces a monumental expansion to the AC EVO roster, featuring a potent mix of new vehicles and globally recognized circuits.

    The New Car Roster
    This highly anticipated release delivers 10 new cars, spanning 13 overall variants, meticulously curated across three distinct driving categories:

    Category Vehicles
    Racing Ferrari SF-25
    GT Ferrari F40 LM, Porsche Cayman 718 GT4 RS (2 variants)
    Road BMW M3 (E46) CSL, BMW M8 Competition Coupé (F92), Ferrari Daytona SP3, Mini John Cooper S (2 variants), Peugeot 205 T16, Renault 5 GT Turbo, Toyota Supra Turbo RZ (MK IV) (2 variants)
    Key Milestone: This release sets a new benchmark, representing the largest single-update car drop in the game's history. Crucially, it marks the highly anticipated debut of the franchise’s first modern-era Formula 1® car: the formidable Ferrari SF-25.

    New Circuit Additions
    Drivers can now conquer 5 world-renowned circuits, each realized with KUNOS Simulazioni’s signature fidelity, derived directly from real-life laser scan surveys:

    • Nordschleife (featuring 3 layouts, including Touristenfahrten)
    • Nürburgring (2 layouts)
    • Autodromo Nazionale di Monza
    • Oulton Park Circuit (2 layouts)
    • Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta
    This collective track expansion is the largest since the launch of the Early Access program, promising meaningful and diverse driving possibilities for every car class. Furthermore, to fully integrate the new F1 machine, all existing Formula 1 circuits have been updated with precise DRS zones to accommodate the Ferrari SF25 and its system.

    This sim has some of the best FFB I have experienced to date in any sim. It's off to a slow but good start. The 0.4 update is a game-changer as far as driving feel & detail. With the right settings/wheel, you can feel the tires compress and scream for mercy before they let go .. I've never experienced anything like this .o_O:eek::D On the visual side, I don't know what gpx engine they are using, but I really like the lighting effects. Gameplay and replays look pretty nice! & I'm a pixel junky that can't be easily satisfied lo.. It's only v0.4 in ea, but has huge potential. I'm not a SIM fanboy of any kind, but ACE, in this early stage, is already something to behold IMO..
    I did 3 or 4 races today using the in-game SimGrid portal. I got into all the games with no issues ..I did however, try to stream them all and failed miserably,I kept getting black screens in OBS and had to close it out before the race started, until the 3rd try where I started OBS 5 min early & had to sit & wait, hoping it would start & it finally did lol. In all the sessions I raced today their was 0 to no lag but the one I finally got to stream had some flying cars ! haha hi pings with mario cart launch pad in the last downhill into the start finish at Rd Atlanta! lol chek it out lol

    Watched it yesterday. Didn't notice the hover-mobile at first :D but everything certainly looked and sounded great.
    Has anyone tried both ACE and Project Motor Racing and have an opinion as to whether either is likely to become gods next gift to sim racing?

    I’m in EVO for the later version of the world maps. I’ve been a Beta ACE since day one. PMR is really solid too, though I think they released it a bit too early, kind of like what Project CARS did at launch. EVO is still in its early stages, but I can’t wait to see how it evolves once I get a better graphics card.

    Holy moly the netcode!

    Yes, Netcode! It reminds me of when the original AC came out. Do you remember when the cars would rubberband, but all 4 wheels would stay on the ground while the car stretched out and snapped back? lol crazy stuff back then ..I'm sure Kunos will get it all sorted in the end. ACC is one of the most stable, reliable netcodes in use right now for racing so they know what they're doing. I have only had a few issues & while having 160 - 200 pings on their servers..
    We're going to rent 1 server for 30 days with ACE starting next week for the holidays, A few races for members to check it out & do some testing..

    Test server is up!
    Server name: SimRacingOnline
    PW: kro
    Spetate pw: live
    For now, the server is located in Seattle due to my billing info. This can be changed once it's been started once so we will most likely end up with the server region being in London or Germany For now, please log on (if you can find it lol) & let me know how your ping is!
    Track: Brands Hatch GP
    Cars: BMW M4 GT3 & Porsche 911 GT3
