Assetto Corsa – Early Access Update 0.7.5 released
Kunos Simulazioni released Early Access Beta Update 0.7.5 of Assetto Corsa. The main attraction in this update is the the new 2013 Pagani Huayra .The Pagani Huayra named after Aymara Huayra Tata, god of wind is an Italian Supercar designed and manufactured by Pagani Automobili. This mid engined follow up to the Pagani Zonda is powered by a 6.0-litre twin-turbo Mercedes-AMG V12 powerhouse and produces 720 horses that are delivered to the wheels using a seven-speed sequential gearbox.
The Assetto Corsa development team modeled and reproduced this italian supercar in cooperation with the R&D department of Pagani Automobili. As the Kunos team already stated, they have put a lot of effort in the active aero system. This system incorporates seven aerodynamic devices, and four of them are movable, controlled by sixteen telemetry channels. The use of real world data did not stop there. Pagani Pagani Automobili supplied suspension data taken from the official Pagani IGES data. (Computer Aided Design data format)
As usual the update also includes fixes, improvements and optimizations to both the UI and game engine. The development team is still hard at work on the AI performance. In this update they mainly worked on the driving lines and optimized the AI collisions.
Kunos Simulazioni also explained that the development team had a meeting with Aaron Davies, Head of Developer Relations at Oculus VR, Kunos Simulazioni will be working closely with the Oculus staff to improve the compatibility and performance of Assetto Corsa when using the Oculus Rift VR set.
Last but not least, Kunos Simulazioni where proud to announce that they won the ” Best game design” award at the the Italian videogame developer and publisher association’s Drago D’oro 2014. ( Italian Game industry awards )
