It's not magical, and does come with its own set of problems. Like the server changing to the next session, and your client not being aware of it.
I'm not sure. It is realistic though, considering some cars do have TC/ABS enabled by default or non-disable-able as well.
It's not really secret. Cars that have ABS/TC on them will automatically have them enabled unless disabled through ctrl+a/ctrl+t. I think there's a car that TC isn't able to be disabled because the real car can't disable TC as well.
Not quite, considering an iPhone actually has functionality unlike iRacing.
I think iRacing already patented that business model.
It's like you expect a Kingsbury to read!
I hope all "shareable" assets, except setups, are sharable through Steam Workshop.
I think there's some ways to make it less terrible. The game knows all the cars the server has to load... just load them all and let people join the server. NKP used wireframe boxes to prevent join lag. You could just load <server max> of the cars, and players that join get assigned one.
It's still no LFS, but it'd make it a little less retarded.

Well, unless Kunos actually changes how the engine is structured, I foresee weird shit like how my game kept crashing when I tried to load because my controls.ini got magically corrupt.
The engine is just really restrictive like the NKP engine was. You can't change any settings without leaving sim and re-entering. Maybe we will get it one day, but it seems very low on the priority list.
Which is a shame, as it's these exact problems that made NKP MP such a pain. Although at least NKP MP had some of the features that are missing. Maybe they'll be added, but the fear is that NKP MP will have been a more complete experience than AC MP...
That's the thing... It can't change quickly. Kunos is in love with the idea of launcher and game engine being separate. For the issues that AC has, that concept needs to be scrapped, along with tools for controller setup et all being built into the game engine itself. Realistically, it would require Kunos to effectively start on another game to get to the same place LFS is in terms of everything being accessible at all times.
Of course, quickly is all relative. If AC managed to get the required rewrite to be exceptional for online sims, it still might be quicker than waiting for LFS.
Does the same happen to the licence plates? Someone posted an image a few days ago with weirdness, and I wonder if it's related.
It should make Scawen happy to see how he is the only race sim developer who has built a good engine that can swap assets on the fly, along with a great MP system
It'd be a violation of the contract that those teams (must) have with Renault, which means they'd be liable in some way.
What's your point? That the Americans have managed to bastardise every single phrase ever conceived?
Saying "I could care less" is just ridiculous. That means nothing. Someone saying "I couldn't care less" actually means something.
It means that if the given subject tried really really hard to not care about something, they could not actually care less than they currently do.
Good job using Google at least Ray. It's a exhibition of small personal growth. Maybe next time you'll post something useful.
:clapclap:
FTR: You can chat. There is a chat app, but it's not active by default (nor does it become active when a message is sent).
It's the whole AC Launcher => Game Engine concept that's flawed. NKP followed the same model, and AC just continues that legacy. It's more complicated to do it the LFS way, and requires good resource management to load/unload assets from the engine efficiently.
the LFS way is extremely obvious (as most multiplayer games have done it for 10 years before LFS the same way). For whatever reason, race sim developers think they can do it better...
They can't.

That's not even a complete thought. That's 3 partial thoughts thrown together, and I'm being extremely generous giving you credit for 3 partial thoughts.
Never mind that it's pretty clear, at least at this stage, that Kunos is heading in the wrong direction for MP. The booking system is ****ing retarded.
Again, LFS proves why it's the bar standard for pickup racing, and it's ****ing unbelievable that developers choose to implement their own retarded systems, rather than implement an system that has existed for over 10 years.
The booking system is a bit kludgy, but in an actual race, it's pretty nice. But that might just be the contact high of "omg ac + mp".
It's certainly not polished by any stretch of the imagination, but it is nice. We've had a few races form the #lfs channel. E30 @ silverstone, Xbow at Joux Plane, and E30 at Imola

It's a shame the AC MP is a steam piece of shit in terms of user flow. LFS will always succeed there it seems (as developers still don't know how to JUST COPY HOW LFS DOES IT!).
I know that you do receive every car if you use AI's. Never tested Outgauge in replay though.
BL1R is fun. I did like SO5 last year, the hairpin was pretty challenging to get right without raping your tyres which was fun.
Bean0 and troy are 2 that I know for certain ahve done skins for AC.
