6:10 shows a serious bug in Pure: That track is Silverstone, which is in the UK, but the sun is shining.

AC2 just needs to be AC1 but with better ai systems and better start parameters for rolling starts and just include weather systems

[@guidofoc7057]

I was thinking the same thing while driving the RUF yellowbird at the Nordschleife. i don't think there is anything better they can do in terms of driving experience, it's absolutely beautiful as it is. I am actually afraid they will make a step backwards with AC2. We'll see.

[@JaredPaul01]

yes, I hope thats what we get too, and maybe just fix the curb grip and I will be a happy boy

[@samiryouarebreakingthecar]

and more advanced physics

[@viktorianas]

I AM AC fan, ok? It is #1 sim overall, but! The PUREST driving experience is still RF2, if AC is 9.5 then RF2 is 9.8 in terms of Physics/FFB, open wheelers especially, or M4 Class 1 in particular with the best laser scanned tracks in industry. So... AC + RF2 physics/FFB would be the last sim I would ever need in my life.

[@JaredPaul01]

​@@viktorianasI agree with you, I love AC but when I do same car side by side comparison with RF2 and AC I enjoy the car feels more in RF2 a little more, I have no idea that is supposed to be more realistic but with the added fact RF2 has ranked racing it's all I have played this year

Yup. I tested the new patch and Pure as well that day. Not only this new patch and Pure are so good looking, they're also very optimized! You don't need a super beefy PC and you can get almost exactly the same good looks as this one.

[@w_dig]

The sun blinding effect is by far the BEST feature that has come up this year. It's a sim, not arcade.

[@kolysion164]

it's not well rendered at all, when I see the sun it's not what I see, it feels arcade effect

I confirm, I was having frame pace problems with a 2070 super, but with new update the problem is gone and the graphics are cleaner and with a more modern look. Amazing update. It's still difficult to prefer others sims

1k LIKES ACHIEVED ! Been so fun racing AC recently lots of people asking how come my game looks so good in live streams - Well this is why and this is what you need to get going ! - obviously there are more advanced guide videos and lots of things you can do to fiddle with things , but to be honest getting content manager shader patch and pure is enough to have a bloody good time ! Look forwards to crashing into you all next live stream , make sure to sub hit the bell or join us on twitch if you want to race with me next time we are live :)

Totally agree .what a brilliant update . Just wanted to ask you have you ever tried VRC Super Touring cars . They are BTCC 1999 , for me the best cars in AC . I don't recall you reviewing them . I would love to hear your opinion . Keep up the good work .😎

Thanks for sharing your amazing and funny videos GamerMuscle! Thanks SCC

[@mark_lhr3]

When dialled in, FM8 drives superbly. Amazing ffb.

[@ImmobilisDignitas]

Damn, I just went and finally updated my Pure and CSP after being on the game earlier doing some drag races. For some reason the game does look more crisp and less blurry, not sure why but I'm not gonna question it. I'm running the game at 1440p with the C13 Aegis PPFilter and the game as always looks beautiful for a 10 year old game, but now it looks slightly better than it did before due to Pure's changes.

[@decapnz]

reverb g2 lookin' faaaantastic! it looks like the graphics in the AC intro.

[@demkon]

wow, just tried this out in VR with my oculus quest 3, blew me away, alot smoother than my previous csp and sol setup and looks more realistic

[@ahhshytson]

I tried as well but after a bit I went back to AMS2 like I always do

[@joshradcliff4301]

Games actually installed on my ssd: Richard burns, Assetto Corsa, Power and Glory, Nascar 2003 Season.. Honestly why bother with anything else?

[@mikeinvegas1]

Looks amazing. I haven't done any updating for 6 mo. Looks like it's time😊

[@detonator2112]

People always jump to new things (AMS2, ACC), etc. but ironically the old AC is still unbeatable. And the Lotus98 based vintage F1 car still has the best driving physics of any F1 car, imho. 1986 season is amazing.

[@Lol91b]

Every time i play any racing game like AMS2 or the F1 games i end up on Assetto Corsa not long after. AC is king and i really hope AC2 isn't a project cars 3!

[@leespalding6361]

Thanks for sharing this is great and what a difference it makes! time for a cuppa and a few hours of wasting my life on this it is then :)

[@iRacinVR]

Assetto Corsa with shader patch and content manager has always been amazing with incredible new features added with every very frequent update. From particles, smoke, sunlight, and night racing to rain. I have not experienced the real proper rain update as I switched to iRacing just before its release; however, i've got a feeling iRacing rain physics will blow AC out of the water. I can't wait... and I know I am not the only one.

[@magzire]

AC will never die

Watching this while drinking tea, because I'm too lazy to go download the latest Pure and CSP updates. The work they do is top notch and well worth the cost of a cup of coffee each month. I would play it exclusively but need rFactor2 for Kartsim pro, which is also very good but way more buggy

[@torchbearer3784]

So I installed AC, CM,Pure and all that again. I was actually shocked how good the FFB felt. AC and sol broke for a year ago plus my shoulder was f ed so I could not drive almost at all. AC still has the best feeling of all sims and should be copied by every developer. Tried ACC after and thought wtf Kunos😂 Kudos to all modders out there!!

Did you use a custom ffb setting or something or just out of the box?

[@Bratmouse1]

If you have SOL and then upgrade to PURE do I need to uninstall SOL or does PURE just replace it??

[@Greco1114]

Kunos did not make a mistake, Kunos actually did the right thing by giving modding freedom. Before mods, AC was only known to a small community of hardcore simracing gamers. With the addition of mods AC became popular to a broad audience of racing fans in general. If there will be a reason for someone to purchase AC2, is the popularity of AC1. I bought AC about 4 ears after its release together with all its DLCs because of the modding capabilities and up to this date I haven't bought AC Competizione even when is on sale because the lack of modding capabilities.

[@RichAbe23]

The expectations for AC2 is completely through the roof. Can Kunos live up to the current state of the mod community offerings?

[@GabzzzFe]

all the "real rules", rolling start, track limits, penalty system, flags, AI not doing the race in practice or quali, force AI to pit when tyres are dead, automatic BOP between different cars etc... AC1 is amazing in terms of physics, VR, graphics, content but it lacks a lot of features when you want to simulate "a race" to make it perfect

[@Starmast3rmusic]

​@@GabzzzFeYup. Can't wait until AC2 comes out and modders move over. Hopefully performance is still good...

[@RichAbe23]

@@GabzzzFe Here is hoping they do it all if possible.

[@hkr4life]

i think the modders will find a way to do it on Assetto Corsa 1. I don't know what will happen when CSP will reach the v1.00. We are only at the 0.2.1 right now. and Pure....at v1.00? @@GabzzzFe

[@Fred_Bassett]

GM, great video as always. What is the mod for the radar you had? Never seen it with cars before and I'm assuming it was a mod for the "essential" info, speed, throttle gas mileage etc. Can you share where you got that too, please

[@GamerMuscleVideos]

the car radar comes in shader patch / cm now and the car stat info is race esentuals , and then Bcast tools for leader board on right :)

[@Fred_Bassett]

@@GamerMuscleVideos I'll play with race essentials some more. Thank you for the prompt response

[@Anonnymouse53]

My PC struggles to drive my old Pimax 5K+ at 1.25SS sometimes, particularly at night with weather or when there are a lot of cars. My CPU frame times are usually pretty good, even with quite a lot of cars. I can just about maintain a solid 65fps at Le Mans with ~40 cars which is my "benchmark". But I really prefer to run at 90htz. I'm looking forward to trying this later today / tomorrow and seeing if there is any great improvement - I already have Post Processing filters disabled as I don't really get any benefit from them in that headset, I tweak a little with Reshade instead.

[@avflashback8913]

AC looks very nice with those shading & lighting mods but it's something that Kunos should've put into the game at the beginning along with weather effects. About 5 years ago I had CSP & Sol working fine with content manager. I installed everything again a week ago and now I get a Windows system error when load a race from the content manager on the same 64-bit PC??? It's too much hassle to go through to fix it when there are so many other Sims that have dynamic time of day etc out of the box. If it was a G-Motor game I properly would have fix it already but that Content Shaders Patch is a Different beast. I like AC only for the free roam town tracks, the rally stages and the unique street circuits and 80's UK cars like the Escort XR3i ( Pure Class). Everything else I have in other sims. Now I play AC on a 32-bit OS because it runs better for me for some reason. It's the same with Dirt Rally. It runs completely smooth with zero frame drops unlike my 64-bit OS. If I can't run AC CSP in 64-Bit then there is no point. Also there some cars and tracks that won't load without the CSP. It's totally stupid that content won't load without a 3rd party mod. Some of the mod tracks have amazing lighting even without CSP in my opinion.

[@davannagle450]

Which apps do you use in your HUD? Are these in-game apps or overlays via Simhub? And which PP filter do you use? Because that is also a big factor in how the game looks graphically. 🙂

Race position, mirror ( probably forced by the server), race essentials, radar and the one on the right I don't know. The only one that needs to be downloaded is race essentials, the rest are all in the game.

look at the progress, a Sim has made from 2014.. while iracing fans are crying tears of joy because they’re finally getting rain.. I think Iracing is pathetic.. AC is almost free at this point and its 10 times better.. just imagine if it had a proper multiplayer system like Iracing or Forza or GT

[@cladecq]

For me, rain just work with Sol : change to "__Sol" as video filter (Assetto/video/post processing) and change weather style (in CSP/weather FX) to "Sol" also. And you will have rain and the appropriate clouds. It never works for me if I use Pure as video filter and Pure as weather style, to have the rain.

My one issue with PURE from the footage ive seen of it is that it tries to be photo real and not eye real. And because of it has some visual effects that are kind of overblown like contrasts and exposure. We dont really see this "sun blindness" effect like this irl, moreso it would be an initial flash and then it would get subdued by our eyes ability to adapt to new light conditions. Not saying that PURE is bad, just different

[@JoximusARTpage]

Then again, it could also depend on the PP filter and one could set the settings in PURE to be more eye real, just like SOL can

[@nmelol]

APP is the most realistic PP filter. I agree Pure PP looks little oversaturated. Or guy making it has really bad monitor.
