Already installed this beauty.
Oh man yeah i got that mod too it's so good! The FFB feel of cars in this game is sublime. I'm hooked on the Boxer Challenge cars
CART Extreme mod is amazing. Helps that those are probably my favorite race cars of all time.
I know this outs me as a complete dork, but it's a bit like waiting for christmas as a small kid.
As far as track mods, the quality of both the tracks and the AI behaviour varies a lot, depending on the modder, AMS is starting to get conversions from GTR2 and rFactor tracks, however this track pack created by patrick giranthon is pretty much on the level with the AMS included tracks so that should keep you busy for a whileAmazing indeed!
Guys, I have a question about mods. I'll probably be happy with just the CART stuff, but I'm interesting in getting some tracks. Do they work fine in terms of AI competitiveness? Are there other problems I should know about?
Cheers!

Man, I need to get back into AC. I never really got into it because braking was always really weird for me without ABS (constant lockups at the slightest touch), but there's actually some fucking good content for the game. Maybe I'll just pretend that factory ABS is how the cars were designed to be driven and just get on wit it.
I think the 917 will be the craziest experience I'm gonna have with the T500.

Part of it is due to the artificial rarity of Porsches not only in sims but in racing games in general since that stupid EA deal, but another big part comes from my love for Assetto Corsa and Kunos, how their cars feel and how they marketed their porsche coup.
Five banderas gifs couldn't do my feelings justice.
They absolutely are.
AC tries to simulate different ABS systems, older cars for example tend to have slower pulsing systems, while modern cars feature very smooth ABS. GT3 cars and some road cars as well have multiple ABS modes that can be changed while your driving.
If you turn off TC and ABS, you still have many electronic driving aid systems turned on especially in the hypercars - brake bias control, torque vectoring that brakes the inside wheel, AWD that decides on its own if the car is basically RWD only now, then there are hybrid cars, active rear wheel steering and some more systems out of your control. So don't think that you have full control or the purest car feel, if you turn just TC and ABS off, the cars where that is true are probably in the minority in AC.
I want some of these newer PC sims (PCars, AC, rF2, Dirt Rally)
I've be reading about the GFX card upgrades my old Dell 9200 can take, the best cards compatible with its 375w PSU seem to be these:
GeForce GTX 550 Ti
Radeon HD 7770
Radeon HD 7750
Radeon HD 6850
Radeon HD 6770
Radeon HD 6750
Which one is the best to go with Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13GHz + 8GB DDR2, and will I be able to play these games with a stable framerate?
Welcome aboard. Yeah, I remember when DiRT Rally launched and many people with DX10.0 cards bought the game not knowing that it's DX10.1 or higher only, quite a few jumped on a GTX 750Ti deal that was able to run the game amazingly well.I should be able to run Dirt Rally?
Love the spotter!Bought AMS season pass 2 or 3 weeks ago, wanted to support Reiza and was sure that it'll be worth the money, but the price fir the brit pack DLC as a standalone DLC...? I don't think I - personally - would have paid 20 GBP for that.
Anyway, I love all of the cars in it and I think I will now finally learn to drive Cadwell Park. Oh and...that Ultima(?!) ...not easy *scared*
Also can't wait for more spotter mods like this:

Blueeee flag, ...common!
That said Kunos have been super generous with DLC pricing!
At the expenses of earlier adopters. One of things that bugs me with Kunos is how they've drastically cut the price of the game in the last year.
Today, someone can pay slightly less than I paid for the game and Dream Pack 1and get the game and the three dream packs. Considering I bought the base game in a sale, and DP1 in the 'first week of release sale', that's quite irritating. If I'd bought them at full price I'd have paid a lot more, and still have less content.
This isn't a moan about sale prices, it's about how the previous sale prices are more expensive than the current full price. A weird situation but Kunos have had weird situations ever since they started.
[/feel better now ]
Kunos also lowered the cost of the EA version after they said they weren't going to in an interview on Race Department. It's the only time Kunos seriously fucked me off in the entire time I've owned AC, even back to the days you needed the netKar Pro key to access the alpha version.Well, AC was strange. It was a lower price for ages while it was in Early Access, and Kunos said it would go up in price once it left EA. They did do this, and it was more expensive for about a year.
For some reason AC is one of the only big PC sims I could never get into. Love iRacing, AMS, rFactor, PC was ok, Dirt Rally is fun. AC just never grabbed me. Maybe they've updated it recently and it's different but I'm not sure what it was about it.

I noticed that too, they PD'ed the car list there to increase car count sortaNo 959 vs. F40 duel, no 991 based AWD cars and no transaxle Porsches (924, 928, 944, 968), which is sad for me, my father had 3 different 944s when I was in primary school, but I'll live.
I count 23 listed cars, 3 are free, makes 26, Kunos said it would be 25.
I'd hope they'd count "manual/PDK", "Kurzheck/Langheck" as one, but then it would be 24... also, Cayman S, Cayman GT4 Clubsport and Cayman GT4? Well, that's ok to count them as 3... I just have to accommodate to "no transaxle Porsches" in order to be hyped again, I guess. It's gonna be fine. Even for 10 Porsches, I would have been ok to pay 15, it's stupid to be upset. Some older 911s would have been... damn, alright, I'll shut up.
where do I find this 15 Porsche pass for all DLC packs?
I clicked on the Vol. 1 pack and in that page i got the season pass offer, here in Chile the season pass costs $8640, super good value
Guys, the Porsche pack is amazing. Simply amazing.
Also, you can drive the 918 in all electric mode by holding the KERS button.
It really is amazing value! No wonder the sim is as popular as it is; sublime FFB, great driving model and really well priced DLC.$15 for all three packs is a steal. I was half expecting each pack to be like $10.
