Bunch of stuff going on as usual. Another F1 2015 patch came out that's fixed a lot of crash issues and some multiplayer problems too. Also there's another free weekend coming up in RaceRoom so you can drive all the cars and tracks for free from Friday through Sunday. They're also going to be putting 4 packs on sale every week for the next 4 weeks starting with DTM 1992, Group 5, ADAC GT Masters 2013 and the European Track Pack.

Reiza's crowdfunding campaign is in its final week and just hit 60% funded, so they'll add the rallycross track and Mitsubishi Evo rallycross car. They've also given the milestones for the remaining content.

70% gets Formula V10 and SUPERTRUCKS as well as a new UI and HUD, more rallycross layouts and Supertruck modified tracks.
80% adds the Copa Montana trucks and adds the Renault Fluence to the Copa Marcas cars as well as VR support and dynamic tracks (rubber build up etc).
90% is a bonus car and track from a backer vote, Interlagos' 2015 layout, reworking of the game's artwork and graphics and custom championships.
100% gets the Honda Civic for Copa Marcas, a new Formula 3 car and extra layouts to a bunch of tracks.

So basically 70% is the key number, which is about another $6-7000.
They hit 75% funding today, we're getting Supertrucks. :getin:

Holy poo poo that's some last week surge, we might get the Copa's and Marcas expansion too.

E: It's at 77% now, that thing's hitting 80% no problem. Also apparently Race Department have put up some official multiplayer servers with Reiza. 5 servers that each run a single track all day but rotate between cars every 8 hours. So there's now 4 official GSCE multiplayer servers running 24/7 as well as a Formula Truck server.

Stadium supertrucks will be really fun. I once set up a raptor in Forza with 800hp that was way down in A-class due to the weight. I kept getting booted from races by the hosts because it was slow and tippy in the turns, and then on exit it just freight trained passed everyone. I was racing clean but I guess it was shaking peoples ideals.

Here is a video on an AE86 who was trying to "pit" me, getting some instant karma.

So there's a hilarious shitstorm going up around Assetto Corsa because the Zandvoort track being added in the next update isn't laser scanned, but a mod that Kunos bought. So a load of modders have apparently threatened to stop making mods for Assetto Corsa. Also Reiza are sending out beta keys for GSCE, so if you backed the crowdfunding campaign (currently at 85%) check your email. Also the dev forum is open now on Race Department, and the dude who's been converting rFactor tracks just released Bathurst.

Do you remember how mad people got when Steam made it so modders could charge for their mods? I'm guessing it's a similar "sanctity of mods being free" thing or some garbage.

I have no idea, but laser scanning a car isn't really a thing (unless it is), so maybe that perceived step down in quality is also an issue?

pretty fucking embarrassing to watch
I just through Reiza a few quid; I really like SCE and if throwing them some cash improves their game then that's good. They have all the things that I especially want already covered by earlier levels (stadium trucks, Formula V10, dynamic track + tyres) but I'm intrigued what awful rubbish people will get them to make if we get past 90% which is pretty likely at this point - they were down around 60% at the start of the week...

Besides; I don't have a copy of Formula Truck and I'd like to try it, and it makes sense to get it in the kickstarter and get

I never did try that out. I always came back down Big Tujunga into Sunland. And yeah, Tuna Canyon is nice, but knowing that people like to jog/bike the wrong way up that road. Anyhoo, I'm really surprised nobody has come up with a way to allow external GPS data as a way to create tracks.

The mod cars were/are being added for free. I'm guessing this track is being included in a future paid DLC pack which is causing the agitation.

We definitely need more sim-touge.

Nah, the track is part of the July update which is apparently also going to improve the AI. Though as this is Assetto Corsa that's a low bar to raise.

That hill climb track Kunos released a while ago isn't laser scanned.

Also completely unnecessary when you don't exactly need to dress up an announcement that you're adding Spa. Though I can't see myself buying that track without any open wheel cars to run there.

Torabi posted:

Everyone gets the content, but people who've contributed $25 or more get to play the beta versions of the content to do bug checking etc before it's put out for everyone. So the backers already have the Super V8s and Montreal modern, and from the looks of the screenshots that've been posted in the dev forum we'll have Velo Citta pretty soon too.

Yup. But don't have anything else to compare to in a sim game. I was actually pretty close to building something similar in real life from a Ranger or Colorado/Canyon pickup. The problem is it would likely get stuck a lot since all the fun rallly style trails around here are linked with mud pits.
