Slightly Mad Studios ha rilasciato per il suo Project CARS 3 il nuovo DLC ′′Pack Elettrico′′, dedicato ovviamente a 4 vetture elettriche da alte prestazioni. Possiamo metterci alla guida di 2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo S, il 2020 Volkswagen ID.R, 2020 Audi AI:RACE e 2019 Nio EP9.

Quote

The 2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo S is “soul, electrified”. 750hp,  0-100kmh in 2.5s, and a brain-warping 1.3Gs under full acceleration.

The 2020 Volkswagen ID.R is the first car to break the 8-minute barrier at Pikes Peak and lapped the Nürburgring in a jaw-dropping 6:05.336—the fastest electric vehicle in the world.

The 2020 Audi AI:RACE is Audi’s design and technical all-electric concept car with 765hp in boost mode and 0-100kmh in a blink over 2s. LMP1-like performance.

The 2019 Nio EP9 holds world records for production cars on many tracks around the world and tops out at a blistering  350kmh.

Peter Boese ha rilasciato per Assetto Corsa la nuova versione aggiornata 2.0.2 della sua applicazione denominata Sol, ovvero un completo update agli shader del gioco, basato sulla precedente patch creata da Ilja Usupov, che implementa un sistema completo di simulazione del meteo e del ciclo giorno e notte. Per il download del file da circa 231 MB fate click qui, mentre per commenti e discussioni fate riferimento a questo topic del forum.

Per il corretto funzionamento dell'addon, vi raccomandiamo di leggere con attenzione le seguenti guide:

With the integration of a new sky shader in CSP, I decided to fully rework Sol.The new sky shader produces much better gradients and looks fantastic with low sun angles. But it has much more parameters and so the handling with former Sol structure would have caused many problems.The Sky in Sol 2 is a sum of the new sky shader and some color gradients, to produce a very deep blue in the top of the dome. This blue is very artificial and can not be produced by the shader itself(same with the former sky shader). With the new system it is much easier to generate heavy saturated parts, with less distortion or artifacts.

To use Sol 2.0, you need at least CSP 0.1.63

Quote

Vivi oggi stesso il futuro del design, della velocità, della tecnologia e delle prestazioni esagerate con 3 supercar che ridefiniranno ogni record. Guida l'auto Road targata Ferrari più veloce della storia, la supercar della scuderia Lamborghini più potente mai costruita e l'inedita Hennessey Venom F5 capace di raggiungere i 500 km/h. Divertiti anche con decine di opzioni di personalizzazione e 16 eventi a tema. Tutto questo solo e soltanto con Project CARS 3: Pacchetto Stile.

Contenuti:
- Ferrari SF90 Stradale. Semplicemente oltre ogni immaginazione. Nasce sulle piste dei circuiti grazie al know-how di generazioni di esperti del mondo delle corse per stabilire diversi primati in casa Maranello: sarà la prima supercar Ferrari ibrida plug-in, la prima Ferrari a trazione integrale e motore centrale e la Ferrari da strada più potente mai costruita. Il numero 90 ricorda il 90° anniversario della scuderia, SF sta per Scuderia Ferrari e 1000 è il valore della potenza complessiva dei 3 motori elettrici e del twin-turbo V8 4L. Smettila di immaginare, inizia a guidare!
- Lamborghini Sián FKP 37. Stile, velocità, design ispirato alla Countach: un capolavoro di tecnologia e la prima supercar sportiva ibrida targata Lamborghini della storia, nonché la più potente mai costruita. La Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 è infatti un'ibrida a motore centrale V12 6,5L con 819 CV e velocità massima pari a 350 km/h. Sián sta per "fulmine" in dialetto bolognese ed è un nome che ne cattura perfettamente l'anima.
- Hennessey Venom F5. Con l'obiettivo di ridefinire i limiti delle supercar, nel 2021 la Hennessey presenterà al mondo un superbo concentrato di potenza e stile. Interamente in fibra di carbonio e progettata da zero per offrire manovrabilità, agilità, equilibrio e prestazioni al massimo, la Hennessey Venom F5 è disponibile in Project CARS 3 con mesi di anticipo rispetto al suo debutto ufficiale, quando monterà un vero twin-turbo V8 6,6L americano personalizzato dagli stupefacenti 1.817 CV, per una velocità massima da progetto di 500 km/h. È giunto il tempo di ciò che è impensabile. È giunto il tempo della Hennessey Venom F5.

Il team Reiza, dopo averci presentato uno spettacolare video di anteprima dedicato al nuovo tracciato del Nurburgring Nordschleife, rilascia oggi il circuito ed il nuovo update per Automobilista 2.

Quote

This update adds the Nurburgring Nordschleife, brings more AI behavior adjustments & extensive physics revisions for GT, Stock Car & Prototype series.

IMPORTANT: The latest physics modifications to GT3 / GT4 cars require a setup reset to default in setup UI to take effect - no need to delete all your settings, just go into the setup screen and click "Reset to Default" when choosing any of the new GT3 / GT4 cars added in v1.0.5.0 (other cars haven´t had setup range changes so shouldn´t need a reset).

IMPORTANT: As previously announced, with the release of the Nurburgring DLC Pack, the Nurburgring layouts included in the previous update are now only available for owners of the DLC or the packages that include it.

Our next game update towards the end of the month will add layouts combining variants of the modern track with the Nordschleife. Next year we also plan to include an historical version of the track to this pack, with no additional charge to those that already own it.

Tempo di aggiornamenti importanti anche per rFactor 2: nell'attesa del tradizionale appuntamento mensile della Roadmap, lo Studio 397 ha voluto dare una rinfrescata generale al DLC che ha pubblicato ormai un anno fa, quel Nurburgring Nordschleife che oggi ottiene delle visuali più curate e un'ottimizzazione di gioco per un'esperienza di guida ancora più entusiasmante.

Entrando nello specifico, il lavoro ha richiesto l'introduzione di tutti gli ultimi PBR shaders, oltre a un bilanciamento dell'illuminazione che ha toccato anche tutto ciò che sta a bordo pista: dai veicoli di emergenza al pubblico senza dimenticare la vegetazione circostante, per un livello di dettaglio sicuramente migliore rispetto al passato. Dulcis in fundo, è stato introdotto anche il supporto fino a 90 veicoli in pista contemporaneamente, che prevede l'utilizzo della pitlane Grand Prix. 

Oltre al Nurburgring, il team di sviluppo dello Studio 397 ha lavorato anche alla folta lineup delle GT3, in modo da aggiustare quei piccoli problemi in termini di bilanciamento delle performance (BoP) sia delle vetture guidabili dal giocatore che di quelle portate in pista dall'intelligenza artificiale. Nella lista che trovate qua sotto potrete trovare la nuova versione della Bentley Continental, della McLaren 650S, della Porsche 911 GT3R e della Ferrari 488... sia in versione GT3 che GTE!
