Potete ammirare qui sotto una video intervista fatta a Marco Massarutto, product manager di Kunos Simulazioni per Assetto Corsa. Nell'intervista si parla di Formula 1 nel simulatore, di multiplayer (che a quanto pare arriverà a Marzo...), danni estetici e meccanici e la nuova McLaren MP412 GT3. Commenti e discussioni a questo link.

Soprattutto ai novelli piloti virtuali di iRacing potranno essere molto utili i nuovi video tutorial denominati Basic Training, che spiegano appunto come sfruttare al meglio il simulatore americano arrivando a prestazioni degne di nota. Sono già disponibili la prima e seconda parte in video. Molto interessanti sono anche i consigli in video di Simracing Review.

The second feature shown in this gameplay video is the first person view that drives the player deep into the games' dynamics, increasing the visual perception of the track's ruts and jumps. These two main features, including the already announced separate analog sticks and loyal artistic direction, turn MXGP into the only game capable of delivering the authentic Motocross experience.

Milestone ha rilasciato una nuova serie di immagini per MXGP - The Official Motocross Videogame, il suo simulatore di motocross in arrivo il 28 marzo su PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation Vita e PC. Le immagini sono tutte incentrate su Evgeny Bobryshev e sul circuito Valkenswaard in Olanda. Il primo è il pilota Honda a bordo della CRF450R, che la scorsa stagione ha conquistato il titolo nella categoria MX1 Campionato Olandese, nonostante una frattura alla gamba nella prima parte del campionato. Il secondo è invece appunto il circuito olandese di Valkenswaard.

Alessandro Cocco ha appena pubblicato su iTunes una sua applicazione che si interfaccia con Assetto Corsa e trasforma iPhone e iPad in una dashboard virtuale.

AC Dashboard è disponibile ad un prezzo davvero contenuto e vale sicuramente la pena fare l'acquisto se apprezzate questo tipo di applicazioni: la trovate direttamente a questo link.
