Academy? Really

[Duis]

Don't teaches nothing that you don't learn on practice and race mode.
Better call it Test Drive.
Else, the cars you have to drive it's no way to practice, just try and try and try. Boring.

I don't have a single moment of my life to waste driving around the same corner multiple times. I started playing on PC to get away from this console kids game rubbish. Thankfully AMS2 is scheduled to get more content over this next year.

Ja, AMS2 has been cooking lately.

i earned enough money to purchase the bwm m2, but the purchase button is greyed out and it doesn't tell me why.

Have you unlocked a racing license for this car? It's required also for buying cars IIRC.

i guess that was the problem, it's just not being communicated good enough by the game. i didn't want to do more of the license stuff because the game switched between online and offline all the time.

i also realized i just had to switch back to "offline" mode to have access to all the cars again.

on a positive note, the physics and FFB made a big leap forward since i last played (i think it was the first version of the game). feels really good!

Gamers today are so terribly lazy.

No, people have lives to live that required them not wasting all their time driving around the same corner over and over again for no real benefit.

If you can't perform on one corner, how are you going to perform on a full track made of many corners? Racing is about performing on each corners and this is a sim racing title as i understand.
Getting the time needed is challenging and this is what the gameplay is. For me it s more insteresting than getting access to everything and not having any goal, which means no gameplay just racing like all other sims.
We are many (parents mostly) observing this tendandcy of people giving up at the first difficulty, not only in gaming. We are talking about young people that dont have a full time job and a family to take care of, so i dont understand why a busy person like you took it personnaly. You seems to be very busy living your life (but you post on steam) so don t waste time gaming, you don t have to. Many don t play any video games.
If you still want to race but have limited time you should find a sim where you can jump in choose any car and race like lmu, ac, rfactor, automobilista or even i-racing.
For me and others, the all hype about assetto is the gran turismo like gameplay, do challenges, make money, buy and pimp your car. we don't want to buy a playstation to play a gran turismo like when we were young.

Did all the stages for first licence and then did the full track and it wiped all the stars off

Is that normal? Do you have to have 3 stars on each stage?

[ErDogo]

Licences are like that in every game. The problem is getting a gold after a lot of practice and swearing, than you exit and you have 0 ZERO progress.
How can you do something like that, you are literally sh| tting on every player that gave you their trust. Are we just lab rat to test your game? Come on , this is ridicolous.
I have 100 hours and i love the game just to be clear, but really this online/offline 0 progress is so bad , wake up...

The game has issues with saving progress right now, I'd suggest waiting for another hotfix.

Good point, however it is irrelevant as driving around all corners on a track together is a quicker, more realistic and less tedious way to learn it.

I'm pretty sure a persons/childs lack of commitment to playing pointless elements in gaming isn't a real cause for concern. What are u on about?

I know it's early, but it would be much better if the Academy was an actual academy where you got some engineering and track feedback.

[albert_alajarin]

I'm in the day of the groundhog without getting past the second test. the comments are missing to "learn", in a real test drive, in the academy they first explain to you where to brake, where to trace and where to accelerate, from cone to cone.

That would be better as currently the academy isn't really an academy.

First I only tested the academy when it s was available with the code. To manage the 3 stars I had to apply all the theory i know about being quick and I was thinking then, it's really well done. You have slow corner, quick corner, different king of cars that behave differently.

It sounds you are talking about learning a track but these are to learn how to take a corner/ a few corner properly imo. Saying that going all around the track is more time effective is arguable. For example once I have done an ice driving stage and we were not doing laps but exercices on different spots. If you try to perform perfectly on one corner you don t need to do a 2 min laps between attempts.
What is probably lacking the most here is the feed back so you can have hints about what you are doing wrong and how to improve. If you didn t watch and read tons of stuff about racing you may be clueless about what you could improve and as we all know there is no point doing the same many time and hope for a different result.
Of course if it doesn t save it make it more tedious than needed.

Driving one corner over and over again kills the enjoyment and is a bit too OCD for me. If you want to learn a track that way that's ok but I don't want to have it forced on me in order to play the rest of the game.

You may probably right, a lack of commitement because everything seems pointless, studying, doing sport, doing your best... This is an impression, i don't have numbers and we can see counter example like last summer at the olympics young people performing at this (pointless you will say) competition so who knows in fact. Though in some way we see how education evolved, how parents are less pressuring children about performace, we more tend to accept them as they are instead of molding them for the society which is probably right.
