Assetto Corsa

Assetto Corsa is a racing game/simulation with a strong focus on realism.

It is developed by Kunos Simulazioni, a small indie developer based in Italy best known from two other racing sims: Ferrari Virtual Academy and NetKar Pro.

While the game is still in developement, a Technology Preview (v0.9.9) is available to all owners of NetKar Pro, containing one car - the Lotus Elise SC and one track - Autodromo dell'Umbria aka Magione. The full game will contain a large number of licensed cars and tracks, but a full content list has not yet been disclosed.

The technology preview already offers excellent triple screen support; it has a "Triple Screen" selection box in the menu that, when ticked, enables the player to alter several surround parameters while in the car through a graphical interface.

On November 8, 2013 the still-unfinished game appeared on Steam Early Access.

Solutions & Issues

Widescreen Solution & Issues:

Native support.
The main UI will always run at desktop resolution, but rendering resolution must be selected from the Options menu's drop-down list.

HFOV is natively Hor+, VFOV can be adjusted to your liking: press Numpad +/- or open the Onboard settings widget.
The HUD is entirely customizable; every widget can be drag-n-dropped anywhere on the screen.
The toolbars themselves scale to the sides of the display (left for pits tweaks, right for in-race apps).

Activating the Camera Editor (dev tool) will let you manage individual view presets:
Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\system\cfg\assetto_corsa.ini ENABLE_DEV_APPS=1

Nanoblemish: aspect ratio affects the FOV of rear-view mirrors.

Ultra/Super-Wide Specific Solution & Issues:

Same as Widescreen.

Although not required for Hor+ gameplay, Triple Screen Rendering Mode works great to eliminate edge distortion (suggested values: Distance 1250, Angle 5, Margins 0). See below for more details.

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues:

Native support through manual settings.
The main UI will always run at desktop resolution, but rendering resolution must be selected from the Options menu's drop-down list.
For the best results, select a [b]regular[/b] resolution (no bezel compensation) and [b]Triple-Screen Rendering Mode[/b].

Triple Screen mode moves the pre-race toolbar toward the left of the center screen; in-race toolbar remains on the far right though.

The Triple Screen in-race app also allows for complete customization of the display:

ROTATION_SPINNER (or Angle) will effectively compensate edge distortion on the side screens. Experiment with it, there is no absolute "good" setting.
DISTANCE_SPINNER (or Distance) is a metric setting used to adjust the FOV. Decrease Distance to increase FOV.
SPINNER_SCREEN_WIDTH (or Screen Width) has the inverse effect as Distance. Increase Width to increase FOV.
MARGIN_SPINNER (or Margins) is used for bezel compensation and only affects the rendering (not the toolbars). Neat !

For example in 48:10 either
Distance 1000, Screen Width 1638 or
Distance 610, Screen Width 1000
result in a perfectly Hor+ cockpit view.

If you're not interested in fiddling with these settings, select Single Screen Rendering Mode instead. Shame on you, though.

Notes:

Default FOV is Vert- in Triple Screen Rendering Mode, but Multi-Mon with Single Screen Rendering is Hor+.
VFOV adjustment from either the Video Options menu, Onboard settings or Showroom view does not work in Multi-Mon resolutions. Other camera settings work but FOV must be adjusted in-race through Triple Screen widget. This indirect FOV setting will stick, you can adjust it once and forget about it forever.
Triple Screen FOV adjustment does not quite replace a locked VFOV; each camera view may not require the exact same amount of "fixing", but getting one camera right will make all others at least vastly Hor+. See Pit Stop comparison in Additional Screenshots.
Likewise, Showroom FOV is two-fold:

- external view is Hor+ by default, becomes Hor+/Vert+ after in-race adjustments.
- interior view is Vert- by default, becomes Hor+ after in-race adjustments.

4K UHD Specific Solution & Issues:

Native support.
