Which is more realisitc? AC & ACC GT3 racing

[Pwnage]

or both are equal?

i love GT3 racing in AC, which made me consider getting ACC. But im afraid that there will be a huge difference in them that i might not be as good as i am in AC. because naturally im all suited and used to the gameplay mechanics in AC. is the learning curve to ACC any diff?

ACC is more subtle, the physics are continuously updated while Assetto Corsa is stuck to 2018 physics (not sure about the date, but you see the idea)
And it will continue with AC2 to get closer to reality.

When it come to preference then everything is subjective but since you are asking which is more realistic then ACC has a much modern physics and refine tyre model.
For example ACC has both superficial and core temperature within the tyre model and AC don’t so by logic I would confidently say that ACC is more realistic.
At the end of the day ACC has more then 5 years of extra development on top of AC.

I can’t comment of any extra Mod for AC to improve physics if any.

And yes as you mention they do drive differently, for my experience I drive much better in ACC then if I jump on some GT3 in AC sometimes I can’t even get the tyres to warm :) !

Anyway is a no-brainer if you like AC (GT3 class) then you will love ACC for sure!

Have a good day.

GT3 racing in ACC is far superior. Graphics (assuming your PC isn't potato), sounds, physics, car detail, track detail, AI, race regulations, pitstops, the way cars react to setup changes, how different GT3 cars are from each other, advanced rain physics that isn't possible in AC even with mods, so much stuff where ACC is way ahead of AC. AC is still great for anything that isn't GT3/GT2/GT4/cars that are in ACC, and maybe an occasional GT3 race on a track that isn't in ACC.

Yeah ACC is tops for GT racing. I basically only go to AC for street cars and drifting.

ACC using lfm is the best gt3 online experience you can get atm. Outside of maybe Iracing but that requires a lot of money.

I'm far from being the best driver out there, but my experience is that in acc the audi likes to suddenly fly into the wall seemingly for no reason at all. In iracing the feedback is easier to read through and I feel when the car is starting to lose control before all grip is gone. It's true that iracing costs a lot, but consider the price of acc with all dlcs included and it's a considerable sum of money as well.

[HomerJay]

@md2501 after such an incontrovertible argument full of irrefutable facts I’m about to uninstall ACC!!!!

Please give us also some promo code so you can directly profit from it!!!!

[md2501]

Indeed, I'm just sharing my subjective experience. And in a way I miss acc, I certainly miss its visuals and the sound.

Well I'm glad you feel that need because as the tittle specific he wasn't aware of such marvellous overpriced ice simulator you mentions!
Thanks in behalf of the humanity!!!

You are right when you say ACC + all DLCs is expensive, Kunos have become a cash machine.
We are far from the small studio doing a game for passion, but iRacing is a lot more expensive. So much that I never imagined giving them money.

[jellobiafra]

Acc regularly makes sales for about 70% off everything.
And, to answer the initial question, ACC is the more realistic game.
It would be sad if it wasn't, as it is the newer game that is specifically dedicated to this topic.

[HomerJay]

@nono782 I have to disagree with you ACC+DLC is not expensive and here 2 reason.

In the case you buy from the base game you are buying something several years old with frequent Discount and very affordable. In my case I stop simracing for few years and didn’t buy ACC until late 2022 and I pay if I remember well 11 euro and pick together a couple of DLC for few euro.

In the case you just need the latest DLC, like in my case last month, I paid 18 euro for 1 Track and 7 cars. How can this can be considered expensive when only 18 euro keep the game updated and fresh.
Compare it to EA F1 that charge full money for each year…..come on please be real otherwise we just hurt our beloved passion. SimRacing!

the main issue with this game right now is that it really on caters for about 5 cars, everything else has been forgotten about in terms of updates, setups and BoP

So if you want to be quick the 720 Evo, new 911, 296 Ferrari new Lambo and
and perhaps the M4 are far quicker than every other car in the game. Basically all the newest cars in the game.

If you know about setups you can make up the difference, but if you rely on defaults and maybe some slight changes to them, you will be seconds a lap off the pace against the very best drivers, this is not at all realistic.

In fairness if you rocked up to GTWC in a 5 year old Lambo you would be slow, but the only reason you are in the game is that Kunos cant be arsed to throw some updates on the older cars, they are relatively unusable unless you really want to stand little chance of winning .

I don't think the DLC is dear, it is the modern way with games you don't charge 150 quid form the get-off you charge 40 and then drop DLC in for years to make maximum profit for as little work as possible why would you develop a new game when you can charge 20 quid a year for releasing what is little more than a sodding patch.

YOU are suckers for paying for it all, and for setting the precedent that developers know they can cream far more out of you than they couldn't is easy, easy ,money, honestly like taking candy from rich babies.
