ACC Test Server UP !

All the requirements are now off for open join ..

 

Server updated to beta 1.0.2 Please make sure your all in the public beta !

now on 1.0.3

 

No live timing at this time .. it’s still to early!

 

Nice pic's ! .. here is some basic info on race weekends & what to expect.

MP Track conditions explained : for the sessions you ned to have them go over virtual days (3 day Blancpain event with the other car classes (support classes) rubbering up the track as the weekend goes on as well as the GT3's )


Track simulation During a Blancpain race weekend, many different things are going to influence the track conditions. Friday night, we will start with fairly low or no rubber line, and a dusty track in general. Once the support programs start to run, the track will get a bit cleaner and build up rubber. How your first session looks like strongly depends on the race day you set up – Friday morning before 10am will give you the virgin track, while Saturday evening is already quite good grip. If it didn’t rain in between of course; high weather variation will of course often wash out the track. But as we also simulate the traffic of the other series during the weekend, you may find yourself in wet track with low/no rain, and the dry line started to form. Or the opposite, your session may find a really rubbered ideal line while it just starts to rain (beware, highly slippery).
Unlike the weather, the track is not affected by the time multiplier, and always “runs” in real time. That means even if you have a quick thunderstorm for one minute, your track won’t immediately rush to full wetness levels, and it also will dry out in real time. The water dissipation rate depends on sun angle, cloud level, temperatures and wind. That means a hot, sunny mid-day scenario may clean up the track within minutes, while you can still find the track wet and full of puddles after a cold night (no sun) or cloudy hours.
Again, having realistic and plausible weather settings will help users to understand what is going on based on their every-day experience, which in the end makes their experience better – be careful with extreme weather settings and time multipliers. It is also recommended to think about the real track observations; Locations like Spa or Nürburgring tend to have unlimited amounts of surprises, while Barcelona is known to be quite stable and hot (I’ll deliberately leave out the Italian tracks here, after having visited them in 2018 and 2019).
In a recap, we exposed very few parameters to a quite complex system, and playing with those will vastly influence the experience on your server. It is worth to learn and experiment with those settings

 

They already had the e-sport ACC event live at the last Banicpain event with the podium winners live on TV .. (this was with 1.0.0 and the main reason they had the May 29 deadline) so yes its possible .. Kunos also have CP (competition) server up & running as we speak ,you need pretty high rankings to be able to join ..you see them next to the quick join in MP .

 

Here's one from last week ..
