Never really been excited for early access before so need to keep my expectations in check.  They've also been pretty upfront about what should and shouldn't work but I am really excited for this one!!!

Need to get downstairs to the racing simrig now but I'm currently upstairs in the FS sim LOL...  Maybe I will divert to Germany LOL

 

 

Imagine that!  Releasing a wheel setup guide alongside the sim!

It's installing downstairs 🙂  Otto may be doing some of my Oceanic crossing while I sneak off LOL 

Purchased but no time to drive today, hopefully tomorrow 🤞

Is there a list of cars and tracks that are included in the Early Access version?

There is, they are in the link in my first post...

About to pull the trigger but I see it MIGHT require always-online.

Need Kunos clarify otherwise before I would buy it.

Other than that, seems promising, probably worth the money "as it is", the base line for me for any "early access" title

The Ford Escort RS Cosworth is not a car I would have expected in the game, but an interesting one nonetheless. What are the less powerful cars like to drive? Personally, I found the least powerful road cars in Assetto Corsa to be generally boring to drive (particularly the front wheel drive cars), but maybe the new physics engine has transformed the feel of these in AC Evo?

The inclusion of that Mazda MX5 Cup car appeals to me about as much as getting hit in the face by a freight train. That is easily one of the most boring virtual cars that I have ever driven in my life.

So, what is AC Evo like, guys? I hear that it had server issues when launched......which rings a bell for some reason, but I have no idea why Anyway, I am curious to know how the cars handle. Do they feel even better than Assetto Corsa, or do they feel like "Acme Arcade Racing Game"? I guess the large number of third person viewpoints that I have seen in YouTube video clips are just for illustrative purposes? I mean, users only drive cars in a race simulator from first person viewpoint....right?

Right??

Hey Christopher.  I think the 911 is very close to the real car once I got the right Simucube profile for my wheel.  I will say part of the variable in experience is the wheel.  My first few laps were really lackluster but once I got the wheel dialed in it felt pretty good.  AI is a joke though unfortunately, no open roaming mode, just some limited tracks and cars but they are actively improving, have a firm timeline and roadmap and are working on the online mode if they haven't fixed it already.

No downside to the early access though as it does also get you everything when it drops in GA so it really is "early access"  

For me the one I am really enjoying is LeMans Ultimate...  Not sure why but it feels really immersive and a lot of fun!
