Kunos should randomise the chicane layout each lap.

Why are people so excited for the F40? Sure, it's a legend, but it's kind of in every game now and drives like a boat...
The steering doesn't work without the AC adapter I just tested it with my G27, everything else works but wheel inputs aren't recognize.

For that very reason. If it drives like a boat, they've got it wrong. With their Italian roots, good relationship with Ferrari and renowned attention to detail (in physics), we're all expecting Kunos' F40 to be the closest to reality.

I see, makes sense! I also did not know that the F40 is actually pretty light, so let's see what Kunos makes of it.
This car should certainly deliver.
Now I need to ask my friend to find the adapter now or I'll just nuy a replacement one. Thanks Morzak!

I like how close the 458 sound in the game is actually to the real thing:

This video is probably a better showcase to attest to sound and twitchiness:

Indeed, it's often described as a big go-kart due to its lightness and lack of any assistance. But it's a go kart with ridiculous turbos. Chris Harris, who gets to drive fascinating cars all the time, from classic sports cars, through prototype racing machines, and the very latest high-tech supercars, appears to rate the F40 above everything - and there are many other motoring journalists who would say the same.
Worth watching these in anticipation if you've got some time:

Its one of the better S-class cars in Forza 4. Very fun to drive and very competitive. Don't know about FM5.
AC does cockpit sounds very well, but the the other views are often lacking quite badly. Often sounds a little washed out or muted or something. Since I prefer driving in hood view, this can be a bit of a drag at times.

Haha, thanks for those. The last video is amazing. I think my reaction to driving one would be very similar (aka almost wetting myself). Also I did not know that it's actually superior to the F50. Funny that they made the direct successor such a different car. F50 cockpit looks sick though.
Legitimately hyped for the AC F40 now!
I hear ya, they need to work on the other views, replay sounds are also bad. I used to be hood view only but converted to cockpit at some point and can never go back now.
pas de problem. I can provide you with the specs of the AC converter if you like, when I'm back from work.
Yeah the sounds outside of the cockpits aren't that great, but they still have time to improve on that, the game got a lot better in the time it's now available.
Awesome stuff, just watched them. Super hyped now. The 458 is already starting to feel like a tank

AI testing looks pretty good! I thought for sure he was racing against a human player.
If these guys put in leaderboard ghosts I will be in race heaven.
Looking forward to the update. I put many miles in the F40 on Forza 4 and GT5. I can only imagine how much better the driving model is with the F40 in AC! and the 599XX...whoa!

When the AI outbraked the guy into Turn 1 on the outside and took a wide line, I was like "Oh shit!". But then I noticed that it did the same thing completely unprovoked into the 2nd chicane before the Lesmos and it seems its actually a deficiency in the AI, not something to be excited about.
Not expecting much here, just as I don't for any racing game.
EDIT:
Also, I've been spending more time just working with different cars on the same track to get idea of what does what. The McLaren is quite a rapid car. Several seconds faster than the 458 on pretty much any given track, which matches up to reality fairly well. Its got some massive acceleration once its hooked up. At first I was thinking the brakes just weren't all that great, but then I realized its mainly because I'm arriving at a noticeably higher speed and have to brake earlier than I'd otherwise expect to.
I think the 458 is still more fun to drive and that's genuinely not the Ferrari fanboy in me speaking. It just sounds better and is a bit more lively yet controllable during hard cornering.
I love this game, and I only have a gamepad to play with right now. Figured I might as well ask here: I have a G27 in my cart right now, anything I should add to get started besides a USB hub? I have a desk Tempted to downgrade to a DFGT though, is it really that much worse? I'm not a hardcore sim guy yet.
Tempted to downgrade to a DFGT though, is it really that much worse? I'm not a hardcore sim guy yet.The biggest difference is in the pedal set, G27 is a lot better. I think that I have sad it before, but in sim equipment, you generally get what you pay for in quality. I cannot judge if you think it is worth the difference, but I do know you will not be disappointed with the G27.I love this game, and I only have a gamepad to play with right now.

For the PC everything you need should be in the box, only thing you should ask yourself is how were will your pedal set be. Carpet ok, other wise it might slip if you push the brake and you need something to keep it in place (something between wall and pedal set will work)

I thought 'ooo AI for Christmas?', but then I realised it was the drag race mode... I guess the full AI is not coming just yet.

So I thought Kunos said there would be no sale for this game before release. Never again will I buy a early access game again, really was a waste of money.

I believe Kunos did indeed state that no sales would occur prior to release and a long time after version 1.0 releases which makes a further 25% discount after just 6 weeks sting a little more that it otherwise might. The sale price is great for those who haven't bought AC yet.

Hmm, yeah, not great if they said that. Still, no regrets from me, the time I already had with the game was so worth it.
I bought it again now to gift it as a Christmas present to my cousin.

Maybe it wasn't the choice of the devs? Either way more folks playing AC is great.

Sooo, where's the content update? Wasn't it scheduled for today?
Betta Lines

I thought it was tomorrow...
Huh, there you go. How much is it?
TBH I'm not even mad. The more people that can get onto this game the better. I'm a little bummed that most people in this thread have been echoing Kunos in saying that it'll never go on sale, but I can't blame them (especially after that quote re: Steam sales). Better to sell 10,000 copies at $5/game profit than 1,000 at $15 profit. I certainly don't feel short-changed, I've gotten that value out of it already.
Just hope the sudden influx of people doesn't skew some of the polls
Drag racing? Niiiice.
Tehehe. Love how seriously these guys do/don't take things. They come off (because they *are*) as being far more jovial than literally all other driving/sim developers at the moment (with the possible exception of Reiza). Polyphony, Turn 10, Simbin, SMS... I think they could learn a lot from these guys. Love them to bits <3
Oooooooh. Like I couldn't be more excited for what these guys are doing.
Like I said... love 'em.
I run it on a 5850/5970 combo. Runs well, but as usual with CFX setups... takes a LOT of fucking around. But with a 5850 on it's own, I think you'll be right as far as performance goes. There are certain settings that don't have significant graphical impact but should lighten the load on GPU significantly.Anyone here running the game on a 5850 xtreme or some similar card?

BTW Can we get a mod to change the thread to reflect it's sale status? Is it a sale-long sale or just a daily?
Comon now, game is still going to be fantastic, im sure you wont lose sleep over a couple of quid.
So AC have put on FB:
Wow, and there is a surprise coming on the 24th too!

It's a daily sale as Aris explained in my post above, Steam made them 'an offer they couldn't deny'...how ironic. A picture of Gaben at the meeting to put AC on sale:

I was going to buy this Saturday so this sale works out perfectly. Can't wait to dig into this. I've still got GSC 2013 to play too.
This is something that annoys me with almost all simulation games. It's such a simple thing to do and yet almost none of the supports it. The workaround I use is with the tool "joy2key". I map right paddle and pull on the stick to the letter "U" and the left paddle and the push on the stick to the letter "D" and then set the game accordingly.

So, is there a career mode to this yet?
Their stance was no discounts until way after release, so yes I can understand the people that feel shafted and don't like it one bit. I'm also not so sure how good that really is for those companies, They basically selling it for 50% of the final retail price now already. It be interesting to see how much those Early access games actually sell after release.
Nope, just you and the track at the moment. No AI no multiplayer, this will come if you are really interested in the title it will probably not get cheaper but maybe the it will be again discounted on the next Steam sale.
I feel like I've looked into that golden suitcase from Pulp Fiction. That looks glorious (and IMO better than pCARS).
Definitely waiting to see if Wasteland 2 comes up, but I think the Kickstarter baggage may undermine that, or at a minimum bring up a $5 savings (there, now for a limited time you can pay EXACTLY what a backer did!)It's a daily sale as Aris explained in my post above, Steam made them 'an offer they couldn't deny'...how ironic.

I wonder if it's that they put it on sale but in exchange get ALL the money? If it's typically a 33% share then that means they actually gain money per sale during this day.

It looks very nice at times but I think it's really not at PCARS, F5 or GT6's level when it comes to photorealistic lighting and material shaders. It has quite a stylised look - I can immediately recognise any AC screenshot as being from AC, whereas there are certain shots from the other three that could pass as each other's. GT is still the most natural looking for me, ignoring the struggling hardware of course. The one thing that AC needs to change is the paintwork shader. It's too damn shiny. Run the McLaren in silver paint and watch a replay. It looks like a chrome paint job. It's the same with all colours, but most apparent when you look at silver. GT's shaders are so much better, for all parts of the car, but particularly the windows and the paintwork. I'm not sure if it's an easy fix - the last AC update seemed to make it worse.
Are they with tweaked controller settings, AJLima? I think there are a few in this thread that would appreciate any pad settings if they're any good
I haven't gotten to deep into it yet, I'm just playing with the default setup/Gamer mode.
