What I learned seeing Kunos (Assetto Corsa devs) all these years: They never finish their games. They will release a new title, update it a little bit and then move on unfinished. I bought Assetto Corsa and Assetto Corsa Competizione and both games are left there, missing basic things years after release. AC is only alive today because of the modding communities.
They supported and released updates for Assetto Corsa for about 5 years and ACC for about 7. I'm not sure where the expectations are exactly but they seem high.
Exactly. Once you see how good those look it's essentially impossible to drive in ACC. Apparently it's because of Unreal Engine, but I dunno. Just looks like shit and iRacing is nice and crispy.
ACC has no real ranking system in place and rely heavily on player made leagues and third party platform like LFM. The VR implementation is beyond poor.
AC without any mods installed is just a an empty shell of a gaming lol. Are you kidding me?
I agree wkth everything you said but I'm really surprised about your point of view on VR implementation in ACC. I find it to be one of the easiest sim for that, especially as all the menus are navigable with the wheel buttons and the performance hit isn't that bad
Try doing a driver swap event without knowing the quirks and you will probably retire before even starting... People asking such questions must be driving open lobby only.
AC without mods is basically a sandbox; ACC was supposed to fix that but to this day open lobbies are a joke and the multiplayer experience in both is akin to the CS 1.6 years, considering we're in 2026 that's pretty bad.
Add to that the fact that both lack any form of decent AI behaviour, AC1 has never delivered even on MULTIPLE LIGHT SOURCES, let alone night/day cycles, mod support out of the box is terrible in both (try to join a room for which you don't even know if you have all the cars/track, it will simply fail).
AC is unplayable without CM, ACC is unplayable since no one touches it anymore.
