Bumping because new weekend deal is active for Assetto Corsa.
Very tempting. Is there a plan to add Japanese cars? If I added a modded car, would it replace existing car or just add more cars to select?
There will be a Nissan GTR added soon (tm) (i think it will be the R34 model and it's GT version, with the R34 probably having several upgrades) There is definitely demand for japanese cars so i'm sure there will be more of that later, including other brands.
Aside from that there are already several japanese mod cars that are pretty good, the Nissan S14, Datsun pickup drift car (pretty good). And a lot more mods in production, like AE86, RX7, the small 3 wheel truck
Its quite easy to make a car mod in AC as long as you can make 3d model and have the data on suspension etc. Basic dev kit although somewhat buggy and incomplete is included already, right along with a template car to start from something... (There are already amazing mods out there "official content quality level" like the cobra or nordschleife).
So the only excuse not buying is the lack of steering wheel and the space for it. You're making this hard!
There are quite a lot of people driving with gamepads (for a full fledged sim), some of them very fast... With stability control, and half an hour spent on making sure things are comfortable it works pretty well. (Still having a ffb wheel makes it much more awesome, as AC has the best driving physics and ffb feel of all the sims out there (IMHO))
For example the guy in the ferrari 458 uses gamepad (im the first car
) ... that was like 5th lap constantly drifting by the four of us. So it's not required to have a wheel to have fun
Then if you like the game... logitech DFGT wheel is really cheap with good wheel base and ffb.
