Shortly after the release of Grand Prix Legends the sim racing community looked forward to another title that promised to offer a similar insight into historic racing. Trans-Am Racing ’68-’72 ultimately never released, a victim of a publishers shady dealings, but as a part of my research I uncovered a VHS of a never-released trailer for the game. Watch the trailer and read about what sim racing missed out on.
Video game development is rarely about one man, but if it was, then Terence Groening should certainly get a mention for his contributions to the genre as the man responsible for the physics of Sportscar GT, EA’s PC F1 and NASCAR games of the early 2000’s, rFactor, rFactor 2 and every title and rFpro simulator that spawned from ISI’s engine.
This interview with RSC details his early life and career, through to him joining iRacing in 2021.
Kunos today released update v1.5.6 for Assetto Corsa Competizione.
MULTIPLAYER:
– Fixed an issue with receiving a time penalty when a car was performing a pitstop would clear without getting added to the pitstop time.
– Server: fixed an issue in the server that would prevent the result.json to be populated by lap data when the server was restarted due to all clients disconnecting.
– Fix to the crash that occurred with the Chevrolet Camaro GT4R on driver swap.
– Server: fixed erroneous car visibility in certain situations with limited opponent visibility.PHYSICS:
– Fixed an issue when a puncture caused by excessive tyre wear would compromise the suspension geometry upon returning to the garage.
Similarly to other puncture scenarios (pressure loss and flatspotting), the punctured tyre is now “patched up” after a pitstop/in garage but remains in a critical condition and is not to be reused.
– Adjustments to wet tyre wear in different temperatures.UI:
– Corrected credits page image compression.
– More detailed tyre condition indicator in the Pitstop MFD page for used tyre sets
NOTE: ranges from white to black based on the worst property of the worst tyre of the set.
– Corrected an issue that prevented dry tyre set 1 to be selected in the pitstop MFD when the car was on wet tyres.
– Fixed UI leaderboard erroneously showing placeholder entry with no laptimes to show.GRAPHICS:
– Corrected windscreen wiper mask for the Mercedes-AMG GT4.
