The day has come and waiting has finally paid off. After a lot of struggles and postponing, Kunos Simulazioni is finally able to release the long-awaited version 1.14 of Assetto Corsa for PlayStation 4 tomorrow. The Xbox version will follow soon as well. Personally, I would guess that it is only a matter of days. PC players also have something to look forward to, with the new Ready To Race DLC and a fresh update releasing on Thursday.
The update
But not only is new content being added, some new features and updates to the core game are being added too. For example, the physics engine has received improvements, the cockpit camera can now be adjusted whilst being on-track and custom championships and lobbies have been added as well.
Here is the full changelog:
AUDI QUATTRO S1 E2
MAZDA MX5 NA
MAZDA 787B
BMW M4 AKRAPOVIC
LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO SL Step3
PORSCHE PACK #3 CAR: PORSCHE 911 RSR 2017
HIGHLANDS LAYOUTS
The perfect track doesn’t exist. That’s why we created one.
Highlands – The original layout, 8152 meters long, filled with fast flowing path with curves and several jumps.
Highlands Long – An extension of the original layout, 12191 meters long and has all the characteristics of the original layout. This layout features some slower curves, a fast series of left and right turns, after a passage between rocks and the distinctive 3km long “Cabhag straight”
Highlands Drift – A configuration born to create long powerslides with supercars and hypercars. At 5167 meters long, this layout features long, flat and smooth curves, perfect for holding a constant power slide. The “tower lùb”, guards the surroundings at the top of the hill.
Highlands Short – The shortest configuration, only 1714 meters, but based entirely inside the city. Incredibly intense and requires the concentration of a pro.
All four layouts share the same starting positions and pit lane, as well as the first corner and final 2 corners.
