I bought the first AC and I honestly tried every effort to like it but I found the game to be overall "stale". There was simply no immersion at all. I put about 30 hours into it before I uninstalled. Does Competizione add any kind of driver career/season mode?

I need a career mode as well, to hold my interest.

Same here. I think AC is a good sim, but I also never put much time in to it. My son and I turned a lot of laps around Monza and a few others, but it never quite grabbed me.

And I now resent it, because there's an ungodly number of achievements in AC. What is it, 500? I have like two, which tanks my completion percentage smile


No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

Mods are nice and all but it would be a nice time-saver for me for developers to actually include some features which I consider to be "basic" in their games on release or at least with subsequent official patches.

All the mentioned sims here on this forum have some sort of career mode, along with championships, custom races, events, challenges, online events/races etc. What most don´t have are driving schools or team management. So I don´t quite understand what you mean by "basic"?

The first Assetto Corsa did not have a driver career mode. At least not when I was playing it. Was it added later?

Thanks for that info. It may be worth getting AC Competizione then. I may do just that after I'm done with F1 2021.

Basically single class, cup, and multiclass. I haven´t tried all of them out, just the Ferrari and It´s very smooth and fast. These are new car and BoP builds. Everything Is great on my higher end PC, ACC runs and looks awesome on It.

Just an FYI, Assetto Corsa Ultimate Edition is on sale on Steam for like $8. I just got it, and plan on installing the GPL 1967 mod today.

That's a great deal Argon. I just had a look and Steam shows it as 50% off, or US$39.88. How'd you get it all for $8? I have the base game plus a Dream pack or two. None of the Porsche packs. Eight dollars for all of that is a sweet deal.

It's hard to describe the anticipation I am feeling at the mo. I've talked about my sim racing history here before, racing GPL in leagues among others. the dedication to improving, learning cars, tracks, chassis setup. Like a devotion really. Obsession maybe. Turning a roll bar one notch, or opening the coast side differential just a touch before returning to the track to test it. Tiny changes, small gains or perhaps not. Serious effort to shave another tenth. I've been away from this for a long time. I've been racing F1 2021, but you'd have to say it's 'simcade' in some ways. I love it, but it's not quite on the same level of simulation like Assetto Corsa Competizione (among others).

When we were talking about the various sim choices here a few days ago, someone commented that one of the knocks on ACC is that it is limited to a single class. I completely understand how that can be seen as a negative, especially compared to others titles which have a much more diverse line up. But I see it as a strength, a 'study sim' in the same sense as Grand Prix Legends or Falcon 4. Not a sim where you probably swap to a different car each time out, but where you choose one and master it.

I bought and installed ACC last night, including all the DLC. This set me back $107. Not cheap, we're talking Combat Mission money here, but I think it will be a bargain for what I get out of it. I want that feeling again of tackling a demanding task and coming good. A challenge to put my skills to the test, both in driving terms and in hopefully mastering the other bits --chassis setup, tyre management, race management, learning all of the car's systems and using them to best advantage.

So yeah, I'm excited. Everything is in place, just waiting for the racing seat which is scheduled to arrive today. Once I've got that squared away and everything working, I'll dive right in and see where I stand. There will be a lengthy acclimation period as I adjust to this, but I'm eager to get started!

See you on the track smile

True dat! Long time since I played AC, but I reinstalled it yesterday and now the opening screen has four choices, one being career mode!

I really lucked out - it was a weekend-only deal, and I just so happened to be looking at the GPL 67 mod for it out of interest - after getting my original Grand Prix Legends sim with mods up and working.

Give me some lap times and car/track combos so I get a sense of where I need to be when I kick this off tonight.

I, of course, am a massive mid-engine V8 Fez fan and plan to make that my ride, but not if that's what everyone's driving.

Good timing Argon!

Here, one of the developers (Aristotelis Vasilakos) talks about the benefits using the safe setup option as a starting point in ACC.

Every beginner will gain time and confidence with only a few clicks changing the base setup. Highly recommended!



Time is the only luxury.

Makes sense to me! Matter of fact I plan to take a very different approach to ACC. I've had so much time to think about it, a wait extended by the fact Federal Express did not come through for me, but the seat is 'out for delivery' today. But yeah, with the safety ratings, and trust factor and other things I have a new approach in mind, which I plan to talk about in a new thread I plan to make. See, lots of time to think about it and prepare while I await the arrival of my racing kit! Got a whole roadmap laid out haha. smile
