La Kunos Simulazioni tranquillizza tramite i social network tutti gli appassionati di simulazione di guida che stanno attendendo con ansia il prossimo Assetto Corsa: il nuovo sim di Stefano Casillo supporterà infatti ufficialmente sia le periferiche della Thrustmasters che quelle della Fanatec, inoltre il gioco godrà di un supporto completamente aperto ai plugins, come per esempio quelli di Fanatec o per il motion system di D-BOX. Grazie ai test che si svolgono nella sede della Kunos a Vallelunga possiamo inoltre ammirare qualche nuovo screenshots di anteprima.

Il team SMS ha rilasciato puntualmente la nuova versione aggiornata del suo ottimo Project CARS: la nuova Build 249 è destinata questa volta a tutti gli utenti Junior. Fra le principali novità troviamo una prima versione beta del mitico circuito del Nordschleife ed una gestione automatizzata degli upgrade: ad ogni build disponibile scatta l'auto-download e l'auto-patch del gioco, in quanto l'installer riconosce in automatico, quando si effettua il log in, il proprio livello di membership.

Good news - the engine team has managed to speed up the graphics engine in the past two weeks, in some scenes it now works up to 30%-50% faster than before. The feedback gathered from Scania Truck Driving Simulator players has helped us spot the opportunity for such optimization. Of course this is great news for ETS2 development as well. The result is update to version 1.2.0 for the game. The new version has more cool things in it than just running faster - there are two new Dangerous Drives challenges in it, and the controller configuration screen was re-done to allow for setting multiple input devices (important for players using "pro" pedals or shifters in combination with a separate steering wheel. Last but not least, we believe we have identified and fixed a bug in OpenAL sound library causing problems for some people on 32 bit WinXP systems.
