Intercontinental GT Pack DLC
The Intercontinental GT Pack DLC for Assetto Corsa Competizione introduces four iconic international circuits from four different continents: Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit (South Africa); Suzuka Circuit (Japan); Weathertech ®️ Raceway Laguna Seca (United States); and Mount Panorama Circuit (New South Wales).
Players owning these tracks will extend the GT Series to the Intercontinental GT Challenge by Pirelli, providing a challenging driving experience using an exclusive layout finely reproduced with Laserscan®️ technology, which allows for extreme precision in track reproduction detail.
The Intercontinental GT Pack for Assetto Corsa Competizione also features more than 45 new car liveries, 30 new teams and 50 new drivers in addition to all-new game modes from the real-life Intercontinental GT Challenge powered by Pirelli.
Graphics
As you can see below, Assetto Corsa Competizione’s graphics received a few graphics fixes and improvements. For example, they fixed the national flags going hectic during the pause menu.
- Fixed near plane with F7 free camera (now depends on camera distance from the focused car).
- Alternative rendering method for marbles. NOTE: works only when material quality is set to MID (should help when using FXAA).
- Additional custom templates for the Porsche 991II GT3 Cup and Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo cars.
- Improved car visibility system when max opponent visibility setting is used. Cars in pitlane should now be ignored when on track to not steal focus for cars driving in front. Cars in front also have render priority over cars behind the player.
- Disabled behind-player-car light cone optimization for opponent cars in chasecam and dashpro views to fix an unwanted pop-in effect.
- 3D grass updates on all tracks.
- Unique display brightness curves for individual tracks.
- Updated season-independent numberplate/banner layouts for custom cars and custom game modes in all seasons.
- Fix for issue with car decals when car visibility limit is used.
