Kunos Simulazioni has released new screenshots of the BMW M235i Racing that will be part of the forthcoming ‘Dream Pack’. The little bimmer is the first car from the Dream Pack to have detailed screenshots released and damn does it look good…especially with that body….and livery…and while going around the Ring. Yes, the work in progress Nurburgring Nordschleife does make a guest appearance in the shots and I’m sure it’ll be the featured background for when the rest of the cars are previewed.
As for the BMW, it is propelled by the most powerful petrol engine developed so far for a BMW M Performance Automobile: a six-cylinder in-line engine with M Performance TwinPower Turbo technology. With a capacity of 2,979ccm, the racing version is capable of generating 333hp (245kW).
Motorsport-specific driving aids such as ABS, DSC and traction control ensure that the motorsport newcomers can also handle the BMW M235i Racing surely and safely. The car also comes with mechanical limited-slip differential, which is also available for the BMW M235i Coupé in the original BMW Parts range. The racing car is also fitted with features such as the FIA-certified safety cell and the modern safety tank.
Not surprisingly, Kunos is still mum on details surrounding the Dream Pack release date and cost. They have stated that it is in final development and beta testing, so it should be here sooner than later. They also added that additional features and updates will be coming online with the release of the Dream Pack. I assume that means even if you do not purchase the Dream Pack, you’ll still be receiving updates to the base title (please let it be an AI improvement). In the meantime, we’ll keep posting the preview shots and hopefully you’ll have a towel down so you don’t make too much of a mess from drooling (not the other thing…get your mind out of the gutter) over the pretty pretty in-game screenshots.

I already have money set aside for the Dream Pack. ^_^
And on the AI side, I’ve been following Stefano Casillo on Twitter and it seems he’s doing quite well on fixing the AI bug and making further improvements to it.
Yep, I’ve seen those tweets as well (I should have linked them in), so I’m hopeful we’ll be seeing them.
I was just on AC this morn and it looks great, but I am still having trouble with the game shutting down when I leave a room. Anyone else having similar trouble. I am running it on a GTX 780 3Gb video card, triple screens at the highest setting it offers, the graphics are great then, if I turn it down to next level it still does it. I can run iRacing at its highest rating offered and it is fine. I do wish AC had more adjustments for their video like iRacing.
I turned off v-sync and it seems to be holding better. Improved my fps a bit too, just a tiny bit of jitter, but I can live with it.
Yea, I always keep v-sync off, seems like the best way to go on all sims.
The jitter might be tearing ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_tearing )
If you have v-sync off, try to set the maximum frames to the same number as your monitor’s vertical herz, which is the number next to the resolution in the Video settings.
Wasn’t the Toyota GT86 supposed to be in this pack?
Nope, the Toyota GT86 will be released for free.
Nope, the Toyota GT86 will be released for free in an update. 😉
Does anybody know how the BMW M235i handles vs the BMW M3 E92 / GT2?
