Continuano le novita' della sezione download dove abbiamo creato le nuove sezioni Track Update & Sound per rFactor, GTR2 e GT Legends dove troverete i primi aggiornamenti come le telecamere/AIW per alcuni circuiti, per Race On e' invece disponibile il circuito di Marshfield. Nella sezione dedicata a GTR2 ho inserito piu' di 100 circuiti e alcuni mod che possono essere prelevati direttamente dal server di Driving Italia.

Pare che EA stia proprio facendo di tutto per farsi disprezzare dagli appassionati, dopo aver già bloccato le patch per Shift 2 e aver chiesto di rimuovere feature interessanti dal secondo correttivo rilasciato settimane fa...

While Forza Motorsport 4 will feature RUF, it will not include Porsche cars. As many of you know, since the beginning of the Forza franchise, the Porsche license has been available only through a sub-licensing deal with EA. In Forza 3, we were able to feature more than 35 different Porsche models by offering to collaborate with EA. For Forza 4, we were looking forward to adding even more Porsche cars, and we were especially looking forward to featuring multiple Porsche experiences in our new Autovista mode. In the end, however, EA couldn’t see their way towards collaborating again.

While we respect EA’s need to run their business as they see fit, we’ve regularly collaborated in the past and hope we can find our way back to that approach. Forza had the exclusive license for all Ferrari cars, for example, on the Xbox and PC platforms. But at the end of the day, we’ve always found that we just weren’t willing to block other racing games from having Ferraris outright, as we believed that this would do nothing but hurt the racing ecosystem.

"a game about appreciation for the sport" that'll "change the way you watch the Sunday affo Grand Prix," while noting that it's still an "unforgiving and newbie-unfriendly" racer.

"There's no easy solution here, but one needs to be found. The road into F1 2012 needs to be smoother than the one into 2011 because the game deserves to be played."

Silverstone arrives in Auto Club Revolution today! Testers can login right now to download and race the track!

Silverstone, the home of British Motorsport, joins custom race track L.A. River and officially licensed Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps as the third track to be added to the beta test since launching at the end of July. We’ve chosen the 2010 Grand Prix Circuit configuration and you can check out the latest screenshots of Silverstone below!

We grabbed a minute with Eutechnyx creative manager Mark Barton who said; “As with all of our licensed race tracks, Silverstone has been constructed with an emphasis on authenticity and attention to detail.” He continues; “Tracks in Auto Club Revolution are built using the highest video game production standards meaning we can deliver an experience over and above what players can normally expect from a free-to-play game.” We’re sending out more keys every day so if you aren’t yet taking part in the Closed Beta don’t worry, you will be able to register and experience Silverstone along with L.A. River and Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps soon!

E' disponibile per GTR2, rFactor , GT Legends e Race 07 / GTR Evo / Race On il nuovo circuito Blue Mountain che potrete prelevare dalla nostra sezione download.

Also big thanks to Juls for the great inject tool (with no size limit) used in the installation of this patch.

Important information:

-------------------------

- requires latest official patch (v1.02)

- intended for use with a freshly installed game, but *should* also work with a modded game, as it will inject new files into your modded bff files.

- due to the significant changes made to the car tuning, the best thing to do is to reset any of your saved car setups.

Changelist:

------------

v1.04

- fixed issues with unlocking hidden cars which caused an issue with main menu and prevented starting a new career.

- added some missing chassis updates.

v1.03

- removed intro movies.

- numerous changes within chassis files:

-- fixed reversed toe values bug (flip values to match tuning menu).

-- created standard adjustment units for the following tuning options (set all base values to 0, this way you know what you're actually setting for these items):

---- tyre pressure now displays the actual kPa value.

---- steering lock now displays your actual steering lock.

---- differential Power/Coast/Preload

-- caster ranges now range from 0 to 70, corresponding to 0 to 7 degrees.

-- established a common base camber tuning range (-5 to +5 degrees) and adjustment value (0.1).

-- unlocked more default tuning options for lower tier cars.

-- fixed uneven ReboundTravel on many cars.

-- fixed diffuser base value typos on various cars.

-- fixed uneven left/right tuning on various cars.

-- fixed front & rear wing range for Audi R8 LMS.

-- fixed camber values on various cars.

-- Corrected fuel tank locations (some were up to 2m behind car).

-- fixed missing DiffPumpSetting values (from "DiffPumpSetting= " to "DiffPumpSetting=0" which was found to produce more consistent AI behaviour in Overhaul mod for Shift 1).

- fixed a bug that prevented proper upgrade of Mercedes 190e Evo2.

- unlocked hidden cars and events.

- disabled reverse driving penalty.

- reduced the magnetized effect of collisions with walls/rails and other vehicles.

- fixed reversed mirrors.

- fixed syntax errors in tracks.lod files.

Yes, it'll be available for pre-order soon. The page design is just going through final approvals.

I can confirm that we'll be offering a 10% discount to people who pre-order the game on Steam, plus there will also be a pre-load....

We've said to Steam that there are no country restrictions for the game, so I don't see why it wouldn't go on sale at the same time as everywhere else.

non mancano poi anche oggi i video di anteprima girati alla Gamescom, mentre Paul Jeal ci spiega i ritardi nell'annuncio ufficiale sulla presenza della Safety Car in game. Da segnalare infine la doppia intervista fatta da Gamerzines proprio al senior producer Paul Jeal ed al chief games designer Stephen Hood: qui la prima parte e a questo link la seconda.

How have you improved the career mode for F1 2011?

SH: The big thing for us this year was multiplayer, but that doesn't mean we've been ignoring the single player - it's still an important thing for us. We had to rush to get everything in last year, and there were still a lot of features that lacked appropriate feedback. In the interviews for example, you'd answer a question and you weren't too sure whether your response went down well or badly with your team, whereas now you'll get some press clippings and you'll be able to figure out what you should have done. It's really good to see your name in the headlines, as they'll communicate things like whether your team mate is piling on the pressure or not, how you're doing in the championship and special events like your first win at Monaco....
