Assetto Corsa Competizione News

Assetto Corsa Competizione version update 1.1 is out now on Steam and it delivers the 2019 Blancpain GT Series season’s vehicles, teams and the Zandvoort Circuit to all present and future ACC players, for free.
The update includes 6 new car models such as the Audi R8 LMS EVO, Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO, AMR V8 Vantage GT3, Honda NSX GT3 EVO, Porsche 991 II GT3 R, McLaren 720S GT3 (as a BONUS content).
Zandvoort Circuit is now featured in ACC as a 2019 restyled version of the bonus content originally provided with Assetto Corsa, together with an updated version of the tarmac for Spa Francorchamps, Barcelona and Silverstone and because on those tracks a tarmac rework has been done in real life during 2019, the game selects the racetrack version depending on the selected season.

New Features:
Not just new content, but also major features are coming with this 1.1 update. KUNOS Simulazioni has developed a custom modification to Unreal Engine 4, allowing for a dedicated triple monitor setups support that will allow independent settings on the 3 screens as in ACC’s predecessor. Further than this, Pit Stop Animations have been implemented and show full scene pit crew operations on the car such as refueling and tyre replacement. A new showroom is available in the vehicle selection page, allowing for zoom and rotation of the cars. Finally, a large amount of UI upgrades and performance optimizations are coming, together with a long list of physics updates. Complete changelog available on our forums and on Steam.

There isn’t a better time to #beACC, visit https://www.assettocorsa.net/competizione/ to buy the game NOW.

McLaren Shadow:
KUNOS Simulazioni is proud to announce a further collaboration with McLaren Racing that will bring McLaren Shadow esports project also to Assetto Corsa Competizione’s players all around the globe. McLaren Shadow is the ultimate esports tournament that allows some talented and lucky sim racers to access a final round in Woking, McLaren Technology Center, that will promote the top player as an F1 simulator driver, professionally involved with this top leader manufacturer. The new update prepares ACC for hosting one of McLaren Shadow online qualifiers, that will open on Oct. 27th and close on Nov. 7th.

- Servers won't spam "late" warnings for event resets.
- Fixed ghostcar (disconnected car) during MP replay.
- RC Rating was rewritten and now works again both in SP and MP.
- RC will start at 0 while the old Elo value is still remembered.
- Numerous SA Rating improvements. Most changes raise the requirements to gain Trust, so global SA ratings are expected to drop a few points.
- Fixed a bug where lifting on straights would generate Trust.
- SA and RC will change at a slower rate for low AI strength (< 90%), while the balance between Trust and OBWP is untouched.
- Fixed FP2 and Q2 not displayed in server list.

PHYSICS:
- New 5 collision points tyre model. Tyres now "climb gradually" over kerbs, sausages, bumps both in lateral and longitudinal motion.
Completely eliminates the "rail kerb" effect. Greatly improved behaviour over all kind of kerbs, improved precision, improved bumps absorption.
- Tyre model improvements to better handle high load peak situations and high rolling resistance peaks.
- Tyre model now simulates lowering of profile while the tyre flexes. Ride heights will be lower during turns.
- Tweaks to tyre model rolling resistance model. (Fixed and speed-sensitive RR variations).
- New Traction Control operation. TC now simulates a two-step operation, acting on the engine ignition timing (lowering power) and if that is not enough, cutting ignition all together as before.
This permits the TC to have a smoother operation at the start of a slide, permitting the driver to use the slide to turn the car without extreme vibrations or engine cut.
- New Traction Control logic. TC now takes into account the yaw acceleration, simulating gyroscope sensors as the real cars.
As a result, even if the slide or slip of the tyres is not enough, a sudden yaw acceleration (a fast rotation of the car) will activate the TC to save the car from spinning. It also works intelligently so that it can check if the yaw rotation is under control by the driver, allowing him to use the power at will.
NOTE: please follow our forums to find more information about the tyre model update:
https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/...oducing-the-5-point-tyre-model-for-acc.59307/
- Tweaks on the tyre pressure loss on rough surfaces (kerbs, off road etc).
- Car collider tweaks for various models.
- Tweaks for all circuits asphalt abrasivity and tyre wear influence.
- Tyre wear tweaks
- Fixed tyre core temps not properly saved and loaded.

- Variability is adjusted so medium values give more medium weather change rates.
- Fixed a setup bug with wet/dry setups on session changes.
- Fixed bugs related to setup naming.
- Fixed a bug with speed limiter status in neutral gear.

MULTIPLAYER & RATINGS:
- Automatic engines will start when the Pit Menu closes, so all engines should be on at the start of a formation lap.
- Rejoining a server while disqualified is now detected in all situations, locking down the car in the pitlane (instead of doing so on the straight after the first lap).
- "Speed up to 50kph" message will not trigger when starting in the pitlane.
- Pit menu selections now are more adaptive, also removing the "Setup" button as spectator.

- Fixed the "rain" and "ambient" conditions setting having little to no influence on the dynamic weather.
- Adjusted the weather randomness to be closer to the Singleplayer "Variation". Value range now can be used in a better way, where 1 - 5 should result in plausible weather.
- Activated the entryList setting "defaultGridPosition", allowing to resume a race any time (any Q session will overwrite the positions, but P->R would not).
- Added "dumpEntryList" flag, usable on non-public servers.
It will save all connected cars and drivers to a entrylist.json when a Q session is finished.
