@Frogboyx1Gaming @_mrgit I miss the pre-internet days when games were released in a near-perfect state out of necessity, and rarely opt for early-access. 1.0 releases are rarely perfect either, but Straight4 have taken potshots at those honest enough to declare their game e-a. You reap what you sow.

@_mrgit I swear by my logitech "darkfield" wireless mouse - they're not cheap, but they work on pretty much any surface (including glass) and charges last months. Speaker wise - if streaming, avoiding bleed to the mic is tricky (prepare to futz around with noise-gates, compressors...).

[SimQuik @SimQuik]

@_mrgit oooh - that'll be entertaining with the netcode

[SimQuik @SimQuik]

@_mrgit Did you get a peek at the PC hardware running the EVO demos? (assuming that's it to the left)

[SimQuik @SimQuik]

@_mrgit Ooh - can you link some please? Preferably short ones that I can easily memorise, and pass-on their opinions as my own.

[SimQuik @SimQuik]

@_mrgit It IS cheating - that's why I wear a neck brace and cover one eye. OR - I'm lying and pancake-mode people are barking mad ;-)

Looks promising - but as my job's to tinker with tech, I don't wanna do that during my down-time. Still not touching it until studio357 say it's done.

@_mrgit I'm sorry Dave... uh I mean Steve...

Slight change of plan - Assetto Corsa Evolution's gonna be in Unity. I'm sure the simracing community won't mind.

[SimQuik @SimQuik]

@_mrgit As much as I'd love to catch a glimpse of EVO, part of me's encouraged by the lack of news. It's to be expected that a brand new title doesn't go according to plan, so it seems they're not bowing to pressure from publishers and will release when they're good and ready.

Time for the next iRacing Monday night league with the "Formula Fun."

Starting Monday September 9th with the usual 2x20min race format, all the free road courses (minus the ones used in the MX5 Cup league) will be added to the "wheel of doom" and be chosen on the night...so consider any displayed tracks on the event page as placeholders as each rounds track is chosen on the night. :)

Signups now open!

@_mrgit That Hanna & Barbera have a lot to answer for - didn't realise the Banana Splits where there doing until it came up on the credits.

@_mrgit I haven't thought of this show in decades, but for some reason it popped into my head: https://t.co/VVFoT5NY7N

[SimQuik @SimQuik]

@_mrgit As it happens I'm trialling Github Copilot right now to convert SimQuik V1 into V2 - using V1 as a reference, and reviewing each line of code as I go. It's f**kin' bonkers because it knows what I'm doing before I do.

Looking for the "just do it yourself then" option.

[SimQuik @SimQuik]

@_mrgit One of the best things about simracing in VR is you can keep your wheel simple. Forget the fancy displays - Ascher F28-SC FTW.

[SimQuik @SimQuik]

@Namesiithe2nd @_mrgit TBF going by Steam stats, AC has more than 3x the amount of players of ACC, and mods are surely the reason AC's still popular. But it's premature to say ACE is dead w/o completely-open mods and raging about sticking to AC1; that implies EVO will offer nothing new. Wait and see :)

[SimQuik @SimQuik]

@RolfH_H @TraxionGG @AC_assettocorsa I do see your point, and I think as content creator your perspective's more passionate than mine. But going back to the interview - I think Kunos are right to be considering measures to prevent stolen content. It's a difficult balance, and undecided how they'll handle it.

[SimQuik @SimQuik]

@RolfH_H @TraxionGG @AC_assettocorsa You're right - there are ways and means to get around almost any DRM-like platform, but the effort required dissuades your average gamer. That barrier makes the sharing of stolen content less prolific.

[SimQuik @SimQuik]

@RolfH_H @TraxionGG @AC_assettocorsa We're all speculating but what if the conditions forbids stealing other people's work, and results in the license being revoked? And what if custom content could only be distributed if approved, and via some Kunos platform? Who knows - even Kunos don't at this point in time.
