Oh, I should note that this is a pic that Kunos posted on their Facebook, showing the LaFerrari at Spa with what looks to be their WIP graphics update.

Hey Sean - can I ask what is that racing frame that you have for your wheel setup and how much and where did you get it from?
Also looks like the wheel is covering part of the screen, did you set it up intentionally like that or is it not adjustable.
Cool setup either way.

Looks like a great (and highly dangerous) track. Can't wait to try it out.
I believe that's a pic Sean grabbed from Kunos' Twitter feed or Facebook page.

Mieluk is such a great track, Tilke should take note. Metal poles placed on blind corner apexes create an interesting challenge.

So I switched from GTX680 to 970SLI and there is not much of a performance difference in this game... SMH.
Some of the settings and effects in this game are just terribly optimized.

Does the game even have SLI support? That's the risk you take going SLI, not all games will support. Plus still in early access so yeah, things are not fully optimised yet

I think it does... And even with one card I expected better. Is this game heavily CPU bound for some settings?
I read somewhere that some settings actually cripple an SLI setup whereas run OK on single cards. So you will have to do a bit of research on the settings. I think it was Faces Per Frame setting, might actually need to be set to 6.

Hmm, thanks. I'll try to do some more testing later. Don't get me wrong, the game runs great, but I was at least expecting a perfect 60 in race replays with many cars now...
My friend is running SLI 680s with little problem, so just some settings tweaks to do im sure. Its a bit fussy as multi gpu profiles havent ben updated as its an early access game. TBH a single 970 at 1080p should hold 60fps, my 780 does except for at the start when all the AI produce smoke, no issues online though.

But the 970 doesn't, I tried hotlaps and it drops to 30fps in cockpit view all the time.
The "faces per frame" setting really slows things down (in conjunction with the vysnc pushing you to either 60fps or 30).

On my GTX770 (getting a 970) I ran everything max at 1080p, no Vsync, 61fps framerate limit, FXAA (multi car races) / 4xAA (hot lapping), FPF 2, tire smoke normal, low res mirrors and just about everything else max. I got 60fps no matter what during hot lapping and a relatively stable 60fps on all Kunos tracks with 22 cars or less (T1 Nurb GP being the exception), and 50-60fps on most modded tracks. All in cockpit view.
A 970 should be nothing short of 60fps in all but the most extreme scenarios (25+ cars, sunset, modded track, >4xAA).
I think you've been selling your 770 short there. With my 670, I was pushing 8xAA for full grid races and high res mirrors. Turn down reflections a bit(like you did with the FPF), turn off motion blur, smoke on Low(its really almost impossible to tell between Low and Highest setting) and you can easily achieve a solid 60fps.
could be fun with a motion platform, although they'd need some extra work to remove the platform motion from the rift tracking.
Mount the camera on the rig...

A few people from Race Department were at the press day: http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/assetto-corsa-press-event-live-blog.93711/
This is what I've love to find out. I don't think there's any other info though, besides the photo.

Yep. The guys from RD have a lot of info they are required not to release until it's okay to do so.
Was it mentioned here a McLaren 12C decided to BBQ its engine at the press day:

All Bram said was - Facepalm of the day. Finally allowed to drive the real car and then you set the engine on fire #OMG. (Of course not our tame racing drivers of RD :whistlingOh shit! How did that happen?!?
Hope it wasn't the fault of any of the devs or anyone associated with AC
. Looks like oil all over the engine bay and rear bumper so perhaps an oil line split:

I always get a laugh from Kunos responses to problems I didn't know existed. If they have to put out press releases denying Tupac works for them, or they provided the textures for the moon landing, I'm not even going to bat an eyelash.
Apparently was just a poorly fitted oil filler cap. Caused some oil spraying onto the exhaust and then caught fire. Wasn't a blown engine or anything and no serious damage.Oh shit! How did that happen?!?

0:46 KUNOS Simulazioni has its headquarters inside the Vallelunga autodrome, what are the advantages of this solution?
Marco: The main advantages are that you can do R&D in a very massive way, relying also on the fact that our presence here lets us to keep in touch not only with the car manifacturers but also with the main characters of the motorsport world, not only the pilots but also race engineers that often are more useful in our job because by cooperating with them we get to know exactly how the cars react on the racetrack, the performance, what kind of setup is being used and these factors allows us to create a better experience also in the physics and technical sector, you know... at high level
1:40 You mentioned some new modes and also career mode, when are they coming?
Marco: Starting from the last question: career mode will come in the 1.0RC of the game, which will come soon. It will let you to participate in a series of event, starting from the slower cars to finally reach the more intresting ones, the championships with the GTs. Speaking about the new modes: we have planned for the next year the relase of more contents, not only DLCs but additional free contents, new special events, a more predetermined career and a bunch of options that will not be in the v1.0 but will come later with free updates like extending the pitstop feature from a MP-only feature to SP too. Speaking of career mode we will have a series of events that will give a "family feeling" like the Gran Turismo series, to reach and make the game more enjoyable for the casual gamers and there will be a lot of special events available for your selection allowing a more customisable career instead of a fully predetermined one where you can take and choose different paths
3:10 What can you say about the future of Assetto Corsa? Will we receive updates of the damage model?
Marco: Speaking of the damage model the version that will come out soon will include full damage simulation both aestetical and mechanical, and damages will be toggleable, there will be different kind of damages: not only to suspension, engine and gearbox relating to the drivestyle or the collisions that may happen but also there will be damages related to what the driver does: this means that there might be punctures if you get too rough on the kerbs, especially with road cars that aren't meant for that.
This will give very realistic experience to the players
4:03 Assetto Corsa is an indie, what are the main challanges of this approach?
Marco: When the publishers started to look at us, we received a lot of proposals and they're still coming.
What we are doing with Assetto, especially with the PC version is continuing on the line that we've set in the beginning. The Early Access program from Steam has gone incredibily well, far exceeding our expectations and this has given us a lot of earnings. So we decided to continue our original path by reinvesting a good amount of our revenues in the acquisition of new licenses, new contents and expanding the team from the inital six to fifteen people, fifteen very good elements and crucial to the development of the game.
Our idea is to continue, maybe even while collaborating with the big companies, to pursue our initial goals by keeping our indipendence especially in the game design and what strategies to apply, by continuosely delivering to our customers, our fans what they expect

SimHQ have tweeted the following news from the Assetto Corsa press event (also featured on Race Department):
Taken from: https://twitter.com/simhqmotorsport
- "Assetto Corsa will continue to be enhanced after this 1.0 release at the end of Oct."
- "Assetto Corsa Release Candidate due mid October. Final release version due out by end of October."

Ah, that's a relief. It looked bloody serious from just those few photos, glad they're not up for any costs because of it.

Looking forward so much to Spa and the La Ferrari.
After messing around a bit more with the graphics settings I have settled for using 1 GPU in this game. SLI is broken in many ways (Decreasing certain settings actually cuts performance in half, etc.) Anyway, pretty much maxing it out on a single 970. As I want perfect 60 in replays and race starts, I had to lower the usual culprits a bit (smoke generation, faces per frame, cubemap res)
Pretty happy with the visuals and the performance now.

The Niels Heusinkveld NSX is also coming to AC as well.
Now this is a conversion I'm quite interested in seeing how it differs from the rFactor ones.
