So I FINALLY Tried The ACC Version Of The Nurburgring...Is It Any Good?

Sorry this took a long time to do - I have the pretty insane excuse that I was actually racing there IRL for the last couple of weeks!

NLS layout probably isn't included, because it's not part of SRO. Just the 24h version for IGTC.

Yep thats exactly why

It feels like whiplash going from forza motorsports 'new scan' to assetto corsa competizione in just a few months. The quality here is insane.

[@NoNamerMr]

Fun fact: the scan isn't made by the developers. It's done by the "Nürburgring 1927 GmbH & Co. KG", the operator of the nurburgring/Nordschleife. Game developers can reach out to them to use the scan in their games. The scan they are using is pretty old actually. A new scan will be made, once they finished overhauling the circuit. So, Forza's and ACC's renditions are based on the same scan. :)

[@existentialselkath1264]

@@NoNamerMr source? Especially about a new scan being made? Are turn 10 planning on updating the track later? Also, while the scan may not be theirs, the track model itself obviously is. A scan is like glorified measurements at this point

[@kristianangeloni]

​@@NoNamerMr Nurburgring in Forza is wrong in too many aspect to be the same scan used in ACC or any other racing game with a laser scan version on the track.

[@existentialselkath1264]

@@kristianangeloni a scan isn't the model you actually race on. The track model is just created using a scan as reference. While there's no reason to believe it was, it's certainly possible the same scan was used.

[@theWozzz]

the NLS/VLN layout does not exist in-game because those events are not SRO run, unlike the N24 is (starting this year). It's all very confusing.

[@naufalkusumah2192]

so when Jimmy participates on the 24h Nurburgring this year, will it be part of the VLN or NLS?

[@JohnDoeGemany123]

​@@naufalkusumah2192 No, the 24h Qualifiers last weekend were part of the NLS and counted towards the NLS championship points. The 24h race itself is a standalone event.

[@chickenpasta7359]

this is so stupid. i understand ACC wants to be THE GT3 sim but they could just make a version of the track without the boring part and just label it as non-NRO or something

[@theWozzz]

@@chickenpasta7359 I'm sure they could, and maybe they even want to. But they are limited by their licensing agreement with the SRO and being the 'official sim' of the SRO. This is why they were unable to add the Nords prior to this year since the N24 is now an SRO sanctioned event.

[@stuartpietzka9148]

​@chickenpasta7359 they can't because of licensing

[@opmike343]

I LOVE how they let us bypass the Nordschleife and it's something I really miss in all the other sims. Comes in handy when you're trying to warm up the tires for a push lap.

[@magzire]

iracing doesnt have it?

[@GeorgioSubs]

Absolute game changer.

[@BobJoe4002]

Jimmer, I felt the same way about the bumpyness on the stock setup. They've changed the dampers, so the setups need some tuning to feel solid around this circuit.

[@-KelevraGaming-]

yeah i have found that the BMW takes the take the best for me so far. Porsche feels like its the fastest. going to try the Merc next.

[@SuffyANX]

Yeah, the default Porsche 992 GT3 setup here is godfuckingawful bumpy because of the dampers, fixing it took that car from completely undriveable to amazing feeling, goes over a curb, hits the ground, and instantly is glued with no bouncing.

[@Randomii666]

All of the porsches have been a bit questionable at least since V1.9. The 992 GT3 used to have a funny bug, where it started randomly jumping after being lowered down after pitstop or going over certain curbs, and it didin't stop xD

[@recarsion]

I've heard ACC exaggerates the bumps anyway with any setup

[@damianmichalewski6682]

@@recarsion not if you can tune your setups properly! The car will behave like that if you have a poor setup!

[@bernardoberner4]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="126">2:06</a> Very simple explanaition actually, Kunos only has the license to add SRO related content to the game and as we know, the N24 is part of IGTC and only the N24 and thats the layout used in that race so, thats basically it. Despite it being very easy for them to add the NLS layout to the game, it wouldnt make sense for them to do so and theyre probably not allowed to do so either

Not allowed to. Unfortunately even just the GP circuit wasn't updated due to how licensing works. Nothing Kunos can do.

Awesome to have someone who races at the Nordschleife and yet is also in the sim racing sphere give a good review of this, details and all the little accents and flourishes they have added are great to see when a lot of other sims feel like the track background and surroundings are just glued in and if they could, they'd forgo them altogether

Bumpy setup weirdness aside (Maybe the car is missing a set of premium Bilstein suspension?), I absolutely adore the atmosphere of this track!

[@Ermz]

Similar impressions as you, Jimmy. I spoke to a few of the eSports guys and the consensus appears to be that the track showcases some of the current shortfalls of ACC's damper/suspension simulation. Driving through Hatzenbach is proper wild, as you illustrated. I've been using solely paid setups, as that's the minimum to even make the car compliant through the curby sections. The stock setups are all woeful. Like driving bouncy castles. Beyond that obviously the best N24 layout we've had in any sim. Immersion, details etc. all on a completely different level. Super awesome DLC. Basically a gift. Much love.

Jimmy, you can set OBS to have custom resolutions, and then record side by side 1080. This will also keep it synchronised perfectly. You can also set it to have multiple audio channels too.

Kunos keeping with the tradition of jank default setups. All the cars need some sort of setup work at minimum, and then there’s the old thing of the pressures.

ACC is great bc I think it’s the most accessible simulation there is. It’s great on console it has great controller support don’t need a wheel to have fun and learn and feel like your driving/racing a car realistically. and so many DLCs that are great. The curbs are an ACC thing though I’m pretty sure I heard a lot of ACC guys on KZbin hoping for this update to fix the curbs so maybe they haven’t and the Porsche I hear isn’t a great car for the track Maybe that’s just the gt3 one. But overall it’s what you expect from kunoz and it’s worth the money. ACC has the best looking night races on top of that. Spa is insane at night so is Bathurst I love those two and Nurburgring looks great too at night. Festival and then pitch black high speed tight sections. But the AI aren’t great. On tracks they always have those one or two spots they’ll always wreck at.
