I video di confronto fra realtà e simulatore sono sempre i più interessanti ed apprezzati. Oggi vi proponiamo la nuova Mercedes AMG GT3 di RaceRoom Racing Experience sul circuito del Nordschleife, paragonata direttamente con la sua controparte reale.

Dopo averci parlato di force feedback, fornito preziosi consigli su come imparare una nuova pista, ed averci spiegato i segreti del rally cross, oggi Yorkie degli Slightly Mad Studios ci presenta in video tutte le varie funzionalità della modalità "online championship" di Project CARS 2, che viene anche presentata in dettaglio sul sito ufficiale del gioco.

Patch 3.1 brings the Online Championship Mode in Project CARS 2 to all platforms, delivering the tools needed to set up a framework for systematic and easy-to-manage online championship racing for drivers as well as administrators, and adding an entirely new level of authenticity to esports in Project CARS 2.
 The Online Championship Mode provides a powerful tool for competitive play, whether it’s against some friends over a weekend, a League, Community, or even professional esports Championship that spans hours, days, weeks, or even months.

Gustiamoci questo primo filmato che ci permette di ammirare il prossimo gRally in una sessione di beta testing online. Da notare non solo la fase della vettura in pista (anche in notturna), ma anche particolarità specifiche come l'assetto o le riparazioni da attuare sul veicolo.

First online test session of GRally all terrain simulator. This is how right now GRally handles the online sessions. DISCLAIMER: Small visual bugs occcured while recording and are caused by OBS.

La "33 Stradale" fu presentata in anteprima sul Circuito di Monza, nell'ambito delle manifestazioni motoristiche organizzate in occasione del Gran Premio d'Italia e, poche settimane dopo, venne esposta al salone dell'automobile di Torino del 1967. La prima 33 Stradale realizzata era basata sulla omonima versione da competizione, la Tipo 33. Questa autovettura venne disegnata da Franco Scaglione e costruita dalla Carrozzeria Marazzi; è spesso ricordata per essere la prima vettura prodotta ad avere le portiere ad apertura verticale, e l'estetica non risente assolutamente dei 50 anni trascorsi (festeggiati al Museo Alfa Romeo di Arese), a tal punto che le moderne 8C Competizione e 4C ricordano moltissimo questa vettura. È considerata, da molti, tra le più belle auto di tutti i tempi. Un modello, quello della 33 Stradale, ancora oggi portato ad esempio per descrivere il perfetto bilanciamento tra la meccanica raffinata e lo stile che la riveste, in un equilibrio che si può sintetizzare in una frase cara al marchio: “La bellezza necessaria”.

We are incredibly proud to unveil Bonus Pack 3, coming as FREE content on December 20th on Steam, then as soon as possible on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One! This new update will include seven amazing cars from Alfa Romeo, Automobili Lamborghini, Maserati and Pagani Automobili, that represent some of the excellence from the past and the present of our industry, in terms of beauty, elegance, technology, performance and heritage.Today, we want to introduce the first of these cars... The Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, which is considered one of the most beautiful cars ever created. Featuring a 2.0 L V8 engine, the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale made its debut at the 1967 Turin Motorshow and can be yours in Assetto Corsa on December 20 on Steam.

Dopo un lungo silenzio che durava da Agosto, la Codemasters rilascia oggi una nuova patch ufficiale per il suo DiRT 4, che porta il gioco su PC alla versione 1.06. Come potete leggere qui di seguito, sono moltissime le migliorie e bugfix sul gioco, oltre ad alcune novità come l'implementazione della funzione Club.

Hello, hello, hellooooooo DiRT fans! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? We’ve had a crazy summer – after DiRT 4 dropped, Micro Machines World Series did – and then after that, F1 2017 arrived, we announced (and ran) the inaugural F1 Esports World Championship, and THEN we announced ONRUSH! So as you can imagine, it’s been ridiculously busy at Codemasters HQ these past few months.

However, now it’s December and things have quietened down, we’ve been able to knuckle down and get DiRT 4’s Clubs update polished and ready to push – and we’re delighted to say that’s available for you all to download today! We’re so sorry about how long it’s taken, as it’s fair to say we had a few hurdles to jump while we were getting things ready – but we’re so pleased with the end functionality and possibilities it presents, and we hope you are too.

Aside from that, it’s been hard for us to be so quiet of late, as there are lots of things bubbling under the surface here – but there’s been a lot of shifting goalposts and sign-off requirements stopping us from going forth about discussing what they are! So, in the interests of not over-promising and under-delivering, we’ve been tight-lipped about what we’ve got up our sleeves next. We’ve been listening to you guys closely about what you want, what you don’t want, what you’d change, and how you’d change it – and there’s so much work going on behind the scenes to see what we can do… But we’ll talk about that more in the near future, and where that work might fit. For now, we have a brand new and incredibly cool feature we want to talk to you about!

The Clubs Update is here!

CLUBS IS HERE! IT’S FINALLY HERE! And my my, is it cool. Not only is all the good stuff from DiRT Rally’s leagues available (and we’ve transferred DiRT Rally’s leagues over to DiRT 4’s Clubs too, so you can pick up where you left off), but there’s more fun to be had with some additional Club goodies. It’s been a real team effort from our Racenet gang to get everything working slickly – especially when considering the technological complexities of integrating Your Stage into the system – so we hope you enjoy the extended competitive possibilities now at your fingertips.

There are three wonderfully cool new things that we’ve brought to Clubs this time round – so as you might expect, let us run you through them:

1/ Clubs are now multiplatform

As with our Community event leaderboards, we’ve expanded our multiplatform functionality out to our Clubs! That means that whatever you’re playing on will no longer restrict you from joining the Club of your dreams or playing a Championship against your mates on different machines. For us, this is one of the coolest new additions to the game. Now with Clubs, everyone can play one another – and that’s a beautiful thing.

2/ Clubs are compatible with Your Stage

Yup – now you can set up an entirely unique championship, with never-been-seen-before tracks to level the playing field! As well as having full access to the career stages, RX and Landrush circuits, you’ll be able to run Your Stage events too. You’ll also have the delightful ‘Randomise’ button, which will build you a completely adhoc event – just so you can keep it fresh, unpredictable and a little bit mixed up.

3/ Points are scaled depending on the amount of people participating

Now, this one is something we’re really proud of. A lot of users with DiRT Rally’s leagues found that the point distribution was unfair; that if thousands of players were in a league, only a handful would get points. So we’ve taken on board your feedback, and come up with a scaling system for more fairly allocating points. This means that every place counts – and you can have just as thrilling fight for 80th place as you can have for 1st.

Finally, we have our own official Club: the DiRT Cup. Head over to https://www.dirt4game.com/clubs/club/110195/the-dirt-cup to join it, as we’ll be keeping a watchful eye on which of our drivers have the most points. And what do points win? PRIZES. And prizes will include your very own DiRT Cup! Which are very exclusive and only available to the coolest of kids.

Of course, Clubs gives us a lot more options to explore when looking at competitive gaming with DiRT – and if you’ve been following our F1 Esports event, then you can see that’s been a focus of ours over the past couple of months across all our games. We’re excited to see you get stuck into your DiRT 4 clubs, and excited to see just what we can do with it – to the DiRT Cup and beyond.

The patch notes:

We’ve not just brought you Clubs with this patch, however – with it, we’ve brought it a whole host of fixes to bring your DiRT 4 experience bang up to date. Those fixes include:

• Improvements to AI in all disciplines
• Brutal AI difficulty is no longer tied to Fearless preset
• Tuning setups can now be used with lower skill rated teams
• Updated driver support for Thrustmaster devices – this adds support for the T500 (PS4 only)
• Added new support for Thrustmaster TS-XW
• Added new support for Thrustmaster Sparco R383
• Async improvements and updated Sponsors
• Fixed engine audio not playing in broadcast mode from multiplayer lobby
• Refinements and numerous bug fixes for Rallycross audio
• Fixed crash that occurred using Party invites (PS4 only)
• Prevented Welcome Event deadstate (PC only)
• Pro Tour vehicles should not start with damage
• Community Events show time of day when loading
• Rallycross ghosting no longer gets triggered when completing a lap close to another player

• Improved reflection rendering (PS4 Pro only)
• Lobby countdown reinstated (PC only)
• Disabling external cameras no longer forces camera back to head cam
• Option to reset controls to default added
• Improved stability

In addition to the above, the following changes from PC version 1.06 are now included on console:

• Bug fixes and refinements to improve the quality across all written languages.
• Improved anti-cheat detection for Joyride leaderboards.
• Fearless difficulty modified so it allows all types of manual gears.
• Improved system for storing and re-uploading Community Event times when RaceNet is unavailable.
• Staff contracts now reduce at their expected rate in Pro Tour and Jam Session.
• Pro Tour scoring is now more consistent.
• ‘Up and Up’ achievement/trophy will now unlock when you get promoted to any tier in Pro Tour.

Crash Fixes

• Improved stability across the game.

General Fixes

• Fixed car wheels and suspension popping in the Service Area.
• Fixed Mailbox specific issues.
• Fixed an issue that caused some Community Events results to become invalidated.
• Fixed an issue with Delta Daily results.

We have set up the usual threads in the usual places, just in case you guys notice anything not as it should be – so please feel free to share your feedback on our forums or on Steam.

Dopo l'aggiornamento che ha portato il gioco alla versione 1.30, oggi SCS Software ha pubblicato un nuovo DLC per il suo Euro Truck Simulator 2 , pacchetto dedicato all'Italia! "Italia" aggiunge al gioco più 11.500 km di strade, diciannove città, incluse Roma, Napoli, Milano, Palermo e Pescara, nuovi elementi grafici che riproducono fedelmente alcuni paesaggi tipici della nostra nazione e molto altro, tra cui nuovi obiettivi da sbloccare. Volendo è disponibile anche un conveniente bundle con tutti gli scenari supplementari pubblicati finora.

Benvenuto in Italia!

We're excited to announce the release of Italia map expansion for Euro Truck Simulator 2. This map DLC expands Euro Truck Simulator 2 with our rendition of the beautiful European country Italy with its rich history, modern industry, traditional architecture, and diverse natural environments.
Players will experience the typical features of Italy from behind the wheel. Explore roads leading through the Apennines, where tunnels and bridges alternate with scenic vistas and curvy segments, opening the view to distant horizons. Descend from the height of mountain passes to the shores of the seas, travel from manicured farmland to wilder and more arid places. The geography and shape of Italy have led to a comparatively high concentration of cities in the Italia map expansion. Local industries contain, among others, famous places like Carrara marble quarries and Europe‘s largest Steelworks in Taranto.
 

Main features

• 11,500 km of new in-game roads
• 19 new cities, including Rome, Napoli, Palermo
• Unique new 3D-assets
• Realistic junctions including ring roads around big cities
• Many regional industries and companies
