Assetto Corsa v1 5=by=pagerman=

The already top-class driving experience and physics engine of Assetto Corsa have been further improved and enhanced with new features, new content and great attention to detail for every single aspect of the simulation. As a result, Assetto Corsa achieves a new level of maturity and confirms our continuous dedication to a simulator that offers the best driving experience and maximum realism.

Tyre model & physics
Starting with tyres; the 1.5 build optimizes the work started with the previous version and brings all the cars to the latest tyre model and tyre features. Tyres have now a more realistic load sensitivity, a variable grip curve after peak, closer performance level between compounds, a brand-new surface and core heating model as well as more realistic heating operation range. Modders will be delighted with the new features and available values, but most importantly, drivers will now be able to discover even more exciting handling characteristics. Our goal is always the same, an easy-to-understand handling model thanks to the improved feedback, which is also more demanding once over the limit. From street tyres that are easy to maintain in drift but at the same time more willing to spin once over the optimum grip to slick tyres that can be very slippery when cold to very sticky once hot but at the same time nervous and unwilling over the limit, requiring fast hand movements and skilful footwork.

Additionally, finding the correct compound might not be as straightforward as before, and a careful study of the circuit characteristics, ambient and asphalt temperatures as well as car behaviour and the tyres’ operating range is now obligatory in the search of maximum performance.

To help you with choosing the correct compound and keeping under control the tyres temperature, we are working on a new “Tyres” app that has been added to the list of system apps included with Assetto Corsa. The new app shows real-time information about core and surface tyre temperatures, pressure, wear and provides basic graphical feedback of the general grip level of the tyre.

Assetto Corsa’s advanced aerodynamics have always been a highlight of our title’s physics engine. Active aero, speed, height sensitivity, stalling and a practically infinite number of aerodynamic surfaces, permit an ample customization and simulation of the most aerodynamically advanced cars. Now, with version 1.5, brand-new equations for yaw sensitivity are included in the core model and new values for aero stalling depending on yaw for every single aero surface are available for modders. Feel what real professional drivers struggle to describe to their engineers when they drive their cars over the limit and discover strange handling characteristics when the yaw angle becomes severe. Depending on the car and its aero configuration, one car might be extremely stable and grippy until the limit, only to transform into a nervous and wild animal once a slight drift angle is achieved. Other cars might maintain their character, thus enabling the driver to push over the limit for that last split of a second. As a general rule of thumb you can expect cars with advanced aerodynamics to be the most sensitive and in need to be driven smoothly.

Additionally, there has been a ton of little bug fixes, fine tuning, tweaks and optimisations on practically every single car available in Assetto Corsa.
