SRINI87 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Developer: Kunos Simulazioni Publisher: Kunos Simulazioni Distribution: Digital delivery Official website: www.assettocorsa.net Format/Platform: PC Windows Vista/7 32/64 Genre: Racing simulation Release date: 2012 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description "Assetto Corsa" is an Italian term, meaning "race prepared", which echoes the passion of every racer in their quest for pure automotive performance. Therefore, it's an appropriate title for this racing simulation for the Windows PC dedicated to motorsport and the automotive world. This simulation game is set to include several kinds of vehicles: Road cars, GT cars, LMP prototypes, track-day cars, as well as modern and historic single seaters. Version 1.0 will feature several tracks, including some of the most famous locations in motorsport. These tracks have been reproduced using laser scanning technology, which maps every bump and characteristic of the track. This allows the software to realistically reproduce the behaviour of the car when pushed it to its limits. Assetto Corsa is the first video game that will use the new "AC Engine" developed by Kunos Simulazioni: the AC engine is a new software technology based on Microsoft DirectX11, designed on the basis of the know-how accumulated by the development team, that thanks to the recent experience with Ferrari, has worked as close as you can get with the highest profiles of motorsport and is now developing a software platform capable of meeting the needs of racing enthusiasts, videogame players, professional real and virtual racers. The concept for "Assetto Corsa" was born in 2008, and developed in parallel with the team's more public projects. The new technology was never intended to be an evolution of the netKar PRO line, but more like a completely new approach to simulation software, based on the lessons learned in ten years of activity in this field. In addition, the positive reviews gathered by Netkar PRO and Ferrari Virtual Academy have provided the informations needed to create a new racing game that will meet the expectations of the community and sim.racers: real cars, real tracks, various game modes, a complete and satisfying single player experience, with the chance to customize the game with cars, circuits and contents made by the community itself. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Main features -DirectX 11 graphics engine -Advanced physics model -Accurate car dynamic modeling -Innovative artificial intellicence algorithms -Multiplayer races over the Internet -Fully customizable graphical user interface -Immersive 3D sounds -Official licensed cars (single seaters, Production, GT, GTR, historic F1 and GT cars, prototypes, and so on ) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASSETTO CORSA - WHAT IS IT? Assetto Corsa is a new PC-based racing game for Windows, expected to be released in 2012. Assetto Corsa is being designed to provide a very realistic driving experience, with single player and multiplayer options, officially licensed cars and tracks developed using Laser scan technology, and the highest level of accuracy possible in reproducing real world motor racing environments. Also, Assetto Corsa will allow for considerable customisation and modification, in order to satisfy the expectations of professional simracers, gamers who prefer to approach the driving experience more progressively, and hobbyists who just like to collect lots of cars and tracks. MAXIMUM REALISM Assetto Corsa takes advantage of the experience acquired by the Kunos Simulazioni team with the development of netKar PRO and FerrariVirtual Academy, both titles being notable as two of the best in the genre for their advanced physics model and vehicle dynamics. Our R&D office, located just inside the international racing circuit of Vallelunga, allows the team to develop the game with the cooperation of real world racing drivers and racing teams. The Assetto Corsa physics engine has been designed and coded from the ground up, using practical knowledge acquired from working closely with the elite of motorsport in order to engineer the best possible accuracy of physics and tactility of feeling. A physics engine like this begs to be used with officially licensed content: As such, Assetto Corsa will include renditions of international circuits, global car brands, racing prototypes, historic cars, single seaters and some of the most iconic cars ever built, providing a complete, and exciting,racing experience!

SRINI87 Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Assetto Corsa – First Development Update First working day of 2012 and a very heavy schedule for the Kunos Simulazioni team. Stefano has compiled a new version the deferred graphics engine, made some modifications on the physics engine and had a new idea on the sound engine particularly nice for all the modding guys out there. Simone is working on the new deferred graphics engine, updating contents and generally making Marco constantly emitting “ohh” and “ahh” sounds while doing so. Marco, on the other hand is trying to secure a very important and very secret licensing agreement… I could tell you more but then I’d have to kill you. Patience my friends, patience. While doing this Marco is also organizing the teams work for the near future, extremely important work for the project. Aris is studying the physics modifications with a strangely satisfying smile, fixed in his face, while at the same time trying to understand the new very modular sound engine… Luciò is going to have some very nice toys to play with. All of this at the first working day of 2012, without even counting the ongoing content creation… we just started warming up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRINI87 Posted January 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Kunos Simulazioni is pleased to announce the KTM X-BOW R as official licensed content for his new racing game “Assetto Corsa”. “Ready to Race” The KTM X-BOW R is a milestone in the over 50 years history of the KTM brand. A radical idea for a revolutionary super sports car that was developed and constructed in cooperation with the best specialists. With the KTM X-BOW R the product range of the super sports car with the carbon monocoque includes the most powerful version yet developed. The “R” is the result of concentrated further development of this spectacular lightweight sports car. In the rear of the “R” is a 300 h.p 2.0 Liter TFSI engine from Audi with a maximum torque of 400 Nm and this ensures an unbelievable driving experience both on and off the racing circuit, because naturally the KTM X-BOW R is homologated for use on the road. With a lateral acceleration of 1.5g and the ability to reach down force of around 200 kilograms at 200km/h the X-BOW R is KTM X-BOW R is aimed at drivers looking for a purist driving experience, advanced technology and extraordinary solutions and as such is a perfect match to Assetto Corsa advanced simulation engine. “Ready to Race” KTM’s official motto is a perfect match for “Assetto Corsa” (race prepared) and KUNOS Simulazioni development team is thrilled to have access to all the technical data of KTM X-BOW R, in order to reproduce its appearance and handling as close as possible to the real counterpart. We welcome the challenge to reproduce its breathtaking performance and precision handling in order to give gamers and virtual drivers the chance to dominate it on our laser scanned tracks. src:assettocorsa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
