Il team ISI, dopo il rilascio dell'ultima build 860 di rFactor 2, non riposa certamente sugli allori: ecco arrivare oggi gratuitamente il nuovo circuito di São Paulo (ovvero Interlagos), realizzato in collaborazione con il team Reiza Studios.

Procurati l'ultima auto da corsa della FIA E1, la Carlsson 340 SLK Judd. Questa incredibile Mercedes-Benz, adatta alle strade di montagna, è pronta per incendiare l'asfalto. Scatena i 610 CV della Judd lungo i 10,5 Km del tracciato RaceRoom Hillclimb, fai rombare il motore e fatti un giro, per poi tornare indietro.

Il team ISI ci mostra in video anteprima il tracciato di Jacksonville e di Mountain Peak, tutti e due in fase di sviluppo per rFactor 2. Tim Wheatley in persona ci spiega come si sta svolgendo il lavoro, anche sul software.

Obviously one of the major features of our product is realroad, and you can certainly get loose coming off the high banking until the rubber builds. The track was converted from rF1 by a third party, then worked over by our track team. In terms of quality and looks, I would say it will look better than Quebec (our kart track) and similar in most places to Lime Rock. The track itself is almost ready, but may be held for the Stock Car release. The stock car is getting some tire contact patch changes, which will assist all cars, but is deemed essential for this type of racing.

How many upgrades are selectable on our NSX? This many...

Grazie all'esperienza maturata con il precedente MDCBox per netKar Pro, il team Mai Dire Camber torna alla ribalta con un nuovo ed analogo progetto in fase di sviluppo per Assetto Corsa: the BOX 2 è però qualcosa di completamente nuovo e più ampio, che comprenderà molte più funzionalità del vecchio setup comparer. La versione "base" di the BOX 2 sarà composta più o meno così:

- setup editor e setup comparer suddiviso in categorie esattamente come sono ingame. in questo modo è possibile comparare i valori di uno stesso "tab" a colpo d'occhio e senza continuare a switchare da una pagina all'altra, e da un setup all'altro per confrontare due setup.

- teoria veloce delle varie voci del setup, spesso presa direttamente ingame dalle varie voci del setup

- track engineer: aiuto alla sistemazione del setup ideale. lui ti fa domande mirate sul comportamento dell'auto e in base alla risposta che gli dai ti dice dove e come intervenire.

- setup FAQ: domande e risposte già pronte da leggere che riguardano le problematiche più comuni relative ai problemi di assetto

La prima app ufficiale di Gran Turismo è disponibile sull'App Store. Questa app contiene il libretto "Beyond The Apex", disponibile solamente con l'edizione limitata di Gran Turismo 6 venduta in Giappone e in Asia, insieme a un nuovo database interattivo delle vetture. L'app non contiene soltanto informazioni relative all'azione di gioco, ma anche una descrizione dettagliata dei meccanismi che consentono di dare vita alle vetture e molte altre informazioni relative alle auto. Nessun vero appassionato di automobilismo potrà farne a meno. L'app sarà disponibile sull'App Store di determinati paesi a partire dalle ore 00:00 del 30 luglio 2014 (ora locale). Per ulteriori dettagli, visita la pagina dedicata.

  The application is portable so no installation is needed.
  

With this application you can:

• manage skins (download new ones, install from archives, delete, rename, launch showroom)
  
• manage setups (edit and compare them)
  
• manage tracks
  

It has been tested on Windows 7 64 bit with administrator account and it is designed to work with default or custom paths of "Early Access" and "Steam".

The application also works on windows 8.1.

The first time you start the application, it will check for:

· acs.exe

· Assetto Corsa folder (where AC saves replays, setups, etc.)

If you are not using default paths but custom ones then a window will appear and you have to set both paths (even if you use for example only a custom path for installation files). This is necessary why once SM.ini is created, application will read paths from that file. I hope I wasclear.

Example of default paths

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\assettocorsa

C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Assetto Corsa

If you are using default paths then you have to do nothing, just use application.

Skins Manager Tab

Exploring skins

As you start application you’ll see all available cars under “car list” column.

If you click on a car you’ll see all skins related under “skin list” column. If you click on a skin a preview will be displayed.

If you double click on a car name it will be opened relative folder. The same happens for skin names.

Install a new skin

1. Select a car under “car list” column.

2. Click on Add new skin in the action bar

3. Select compressed archive (only .rar, .7z and .zip) and the application will extract all files to right path.

Delete a skin

1. Select a car under “car list” column.

2. Select a skin under “skin list” column.

3. Click on Delete in the action bar.

You can also delete multiple skins: just hold CTRL and select skins with mouse then click on Delete.

Rename folder of a skin

1. Select a car under “car list” column.

2. Select a skin under “skin list” column.

3. Click on Rename in the action bar.

4. Cursor will blink. Write the new name and press Enter on your keyboard.

Launch showroom

1. Select a car under “car list” column.

2. Select a skin under “skin list” column.

3. Click on Launch Showroom in the action bar.

Download new skins Tab

1. Select a brand.

2. Select a skin from the table.

3. Click on Download button to download selected skin. By default file is saved in SKINS folder. You can choose a different folder clicking on Settings (menu bar).

Preview images are saved to C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Temp\SM_preview so no need to download them every time. If you want to delete cached files click on Settings and select Off under Cache voice.

How filter works

If you want to look at skins of a particular releaser just click on a cell inside ARTIST column. The name of the artist is automatically written to the white box next to "Apply" button. Click on "Apply" and will be shown all the skins by that artist.

If you want to see again all the skins of the selected brand delete the name of the artist and click on the "Apply" button.

The same is valid for release date.

As regards filtering by skin name at the moment you have to write the exact name of the skin since the component does not allow to search sub strings.

Car Setups Tab

Add new setup

1. Select a car in the first box.

2. Select a track in second box.

3. Click on Add new setup in the action bar, finally select the file with ini extension.

Delete a setup

1. Select a car in the first box.

2. Select a track in second box. A list of all available setups will be displayed in the last box on the right.

3. Tick the setup then right click on setup name and select Delete. You can delete multiple setups.

Duplicate a setup

1. Select a car in the first box.

2. Select a track in second box. A list of all available setups will be displayed in the last box on the right.

3. Select the setup then click on Delete (no need to tick it).

When there is some value out the ranges the application saves a file named Log.txt so you can check the error. Setups ranges are collected manually since values are stored in data.acd which is encrypted. If you find any error or missing setup please report.

I suggest to run application as administrator.

If you have any problem please attach a screenshot and provide url of the forum post where you downloaded the skin.

If you’d like to use application in your own language please contact me and I’ll send strings to be translated.

Tracks Tab

Known issues

No progressbar for .7zip an .rar archives.

Error loading png images.

When you restore the application from taskbar, columns of the grid do not fit to content.

Some antivirus detect the application as a virus so you should add to exclusions.
