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.

Kunos today released v1.5.8 on Steam. This update makes a number of tweaks to the weather model.
GENERAL:
– Separated Dedicated Server as a standalone item in the Steam/Tools library.
NOTE: The Dedicated Server and the Broadcast SDK will no longer be part of the main game content but they will be found under the “Assetto Corsa Competizione Dedicated Server” as an item in the Steam Tools library.GAMEPLAY:
– Adjusted weather scaling with variable weather – weather patterns normalized to reduce the likelihood of unpredictable and extreme weather when using high weather variability.
NOTE: the user can now be more generous with cloud level and variability settings, the level of variation will retain its effect on the rate of weather changes but without the byproduct of accumulating into extreme scenarios.
– Unified and improved Singleplayer and Multiplayer weather model.
– Optimizations to the weather model to better align Single Player and Multiplayer behaviour.
NOTE: updates to the Server/Multiplayer side will be detailed in the Dedicated Server changelog and the Server Handbook.PHYSICS:
– Fixed an issue with wind scaling versus weather variation in Single Player.CONTROLS:
– Fixed a potential crash caused by an issue with the Logitech plugin accessing external libraries.
