Not if they want people to pay for it, every other ac map is great and unpaid, this guy isn't any different, if he wants it to be popular, its gotta be free, if he wants a little money, about 1400 a month, then this is perfect.
I like akina a lot, its where i started sim racing and where most people did. I wont say it isn't "boring" you say but I've spent hours just driving mindlessly hearing either eurobeat or very chill music with more than 10k km. Nanamagari is also fun af but whenever i got some free time i load akina 2017 with rkgaming's takumi's first stage ae86 and enjoy the drive. btw is crazy how only 21% of people is suscribed, you deserve better that that. exelent and entertaining videos as always
Yeah it's just not my cup of tea, doesn't mean others can't enjoy it. And it used to be closer to 75% but then I stopped asking people to subscribe lmao. Thanks :)
Fun fact: According to some rumors, some gutters at Akina in real life (Mt. Harunasan) has been destructed due to Initial D That’s why in real life there’s no gutters at U turns The government also add speed bumps near U turns to prevent street racing
@Kenta Nakamura It's a safety feature, helps alert drivers to corners, works well for reducing fatigue related crashes, as a side effect it might also reduce racing, I know drifters don't seem to care much about them lol.
Normal road racing is the biggest challenge for upcoming videogames. You don't need to pay licences, you don't have fancy publicity banner and you can literally come up with whatever road you want. But it's the most complicated, by far.
Real trees!??!?! That change alone is enough to put this mod among the better ones available. That is the single biggest barrier to immersion in AC and seeing modders finally tackle that issue should keep AC relevant for another few years. I think Project Kaido deserves a few dollars or pounds, doubloons, whatever monetary unit is available from us in the racing community. Thanks for showcasing his work.
I love Akina! It's easy and a lot of fun to drive with friends, it makes for some easy battles. After EK Alina was released I couldn't get used to the changes, it felt very different and I didn't know how to drive it so I stopped driving in it. Now that I see a new version, I really want to try it! I hope Touge Life changes the map again for this new version.
tbh, as much as people go on about Akina I keep wondering when people will show how mental some roads in the UK are. I lived in Scotland for 3 years, and there were a few spots up there I could really see being great courses. That's before you start lookin' at the Midlands or Kernow...
Would be cool to see everything from Irohazaka to Usui pass all combined into one giant freeroam map. That would include Akina, Akagi, Usui, Gunma Cycle Sports Centre (Gunsai) and Irohazaka.
I find it hard to become bored over Akina and pretty much any touge, considering I’ve spent countless amount of hours on Roblox Mt.Otsuki, I think it would be rather hard to get bored
Have u ever played Tokyo extreme racer... zero, 3, drift, and drift 2???? I played them all on ps2 and they are still great to play. Drift and drift 2 both have Mt Akina and many of the other passes we love from Japan
Wow yea it looks beautiful! I also don't favor Akina much, but this update does look very promising! Hopefully I can get my hands on it soon and check it out.
I am fairly new to SIM racing and I just bought GT7. With a steering wheel it's a pretty awesome game. But since I drove my own car before I did any SIM racing I'm looking for the best drift realistic drift sim. Does Asetto Corsa feel more realistic than GT7? Because I think physics are pretty oke from GT7 but not perfect.
When u talking about how bad previous Akina version are (flat etc), I have feeling that u never tried IDAS0 version... It is really steep. IDAS0 Akina is pretty unknown from what I see on servers etc...
Hmmm, I might give this a try. Might, it looks interesting. But ultimately I'm not holding my breath as I've never enjoyed Akina. Also, unlike most touge junkies who like to do downhill. For some ungodly, heretical, arse backwards reason I seem to do better on the uphill.
@@Dominik189 For me in uphill, I find it easier to not under steer and I feel I have more control over my car. And it’s also easier to deal with weight balance (when most of the cars engine are in the front). In downhill it’s easy to accidentally speed up and do mistakes, you’ll have now 2 energy factors to deal with : your car/engin, and gravity. But in the end it’s just a personal matter ;)
Well, at least the long straits of Akina aren't as long as the eternal straits of Nanamagari. I struggle to learn the technical bits of Nanamagari because I get bored just trying to get to them, and then I fall asleep and forget that the straits actually do end eventually. Racing on Nanamagari is NOT as safe as riding in a long white tube with lots of little windows being hurled across an ocean at 35,000ft and 500+mph by a pair of turbo fans.
just as a heads up Akina is intentionally quite easy and it's real world counter part was used by the drift king to train himself. at least if my memory serves me
Regarding the 'Akina is a terrible Touge' take, I think it lends people a helping hand who want to get into Touge. Sort of like a tutorial course to the style of racing/time attack nature of the medium.
You make a valid point with the touge being boring and somewhat overrated the edition of the town is a nice idea though it’s probably just to put the tofu shop in (another reason the track is overrated) what I have always been interested in is the road at the the top that leads to the lake there are separate maps but not many people know/or care what lies beyond the start/finish line perhaps this will be added as part of the realism ?
@@TSRB I just like pointing out things. I’m a pointer outer in the TH-cam comments. I’d rather you get paid, just wanted a group of lonely people to agree with me. Hah
What do you reckon, will this be the new go-to Akina mod? 🤔
If they port it to beamng 😏
I think so, it looks pretty good.
Not if they want people to pay for it, every other ac map is great and unpaid, this guy isn't any different, if he wants it to be popular, its gotta be free, if he wants a little money, about 1400 a month, then this is perfect.
2 years later it is now

Nice profile pic
Now we just need some lunatic to start joining all these together with shutoko so we have half of japan in one online map.
That would be so lit but my pc is gonna explode for sure if i load up half of japan in a game
That would take a while to load and even process but worth it!
Can’t imagine the loading time
atleast connect with Lake Haruna Hotel and the tofu shop :D
that wouldnt even be possible with the current engine, but if it was possible, then my pc would burn hotter than the sun
Fun fact: According to some rumors, some gutters at Akina in real life (Mt. Harunasan) has been destructed due to Initial D
That’s why in real life there’s no gutters at U turns
The government also add speed bumps near U turns to prevent street racing
Id take those rumors with not just a grain of salt, but a whole lake.
Fun fact: Both these facts are wrong.
@Kenta Nakamura It's a safety feature, helps alert drivers to corners, works well for reducing fatigue related crashes, as a side effect it might also reduce racing, I know drifters don't seem to care much about them lol.
@Kenta Nakamura Because road safety wasn't a priority
@Kenta Nakamura bro it takes governments years to fix potholes, never mind installing speed bumps on an already existing road lol
This honestly looks amazing! This looks like a REAL successor to the 2017 version and seems so much more lively. I'm very excited for this!
The bumps in the road make this look exactly like driving some windy back mountain roads
Your channel rocks dude, this is the content I've always wanted to see on TH-cam but it's either lacked relevance or production quality. Keep it up!
Thank you for review my track. v2.1 released with Light and Rain FX added. Pits up to 40.
There was this really old Akina map ripped from 3rd arcade stage that featured a small city with tofu shop.
Normal road racing is the biggest challenge for upcoming videogames.
You don't need to pay licences, you don't have fancy publicity banner and you can literally come up with whatever road you want.

Its. Just. AMAZING. It looks soo gooood compared to ek and 2017. That's awesome work.

Definitely the new go to, the better immersion from all the high quality textures has got me excited

I still run a very active Akina 2017 server that is mostly a clone of the old TL1 server.
Red Evo makes me happy. Otaku doing his thing even more so. Fantastic stuff.
tbh, as much as people go on about Akina I keep wondering when people will show how mental some roads in the UK are. I lived in Scotland for 3 years, and there were a few spots up there I could really see being great courses. That's before you start lookin' at the Midlands or Kernow...
Akina: exists
Haruna: Am I a joke to you?
Amazing how a Malaysian can make such a good quality mod on Japan's iconic Akina. Power bang!
adding some bumps and different textures to the roads can make it more realistic
Would be cool to see everything from Irohazaka to Usui pass all combined into one giant freeroam map. That would include Akina, Akagi, Usui, Gunma Cycle Sports Centre (Gunsai) and Irohazaka.
Hoping one day project kaido would make a full rendition of Gunma areas from initial d, like some freeroam type of map
I went trip to Akina last weekend, so I am surprising about this Akina Map! incredible quolity!
love the new look! Both Akina and the channel
That gutter run at the intro was clean!
please make a server for this if someone hasn't already u literally have the best touge cars on your servers
I find it hard to become bored over Akina and pretty much any touge, considering I’ve spent countless amount of hours on Roblox Mt.Otsuki, I think it would be rather hard to get bored
Because I know I will never see this kind of track in GT7... all I can do is trying to master Nurburgring
Shiga kusatsu for high speed. Ura rokko for low speed. Akagi for that sweet sweet technical section, decent all arounder
Much props to Project Kaido! Malaysia boleh!
I mean I like 60s muscle cars and Akina is good for that. It’s basically a road course.
0:02 that inner wheel lift
Have u ever played Tokyo extreme racer... zero, 3, drift, and drift 2???? I played them all on ps2 and they are still great to play. Drift and drift 2 both have Mt Akina and many of the other passes we love from Japan
Wow yea it looks beautiful! I also don't favor Akina much, but this update does look very promising! Hopefully I can get my hands on it soon and check it out.
Once this gets finished the multiplayer races gon be good 👍
I mean, Akina is so boring that even Takumi gave up on racing there lol.
Wicked background tracks!
My pc took a shit
So about 2 weeks with no assetto
It eats at me everyday
I just want to drive a realistic sim
wait for the end for the subscribers stuff brooo
Video idea: "Will super car do good on touge?"
Too powerful supercar on the touge will probably too hard to drive in my opinion.
#SorryForMyPoorEnglish #GreetingsFromTaiwan
@@NSRT3954 still supercars arent only speed but also good handling
@@c.x.s.m.x true, but supercars typically are in the 400-700+ hp range which is tricky to drive on a track this tight.
This is how Akina would look like in MF Ghost
This looks like alot of fun to be had
Just wait till he adds the speed bumps on the bottom hairpins.
is this Assetto Corsa Competizione? or just Assetto Corsa? which version is better to download for something like this with mods? thank you!
can you link the cockpit movement, like when ur car seems to lean when turning?

Yeah, Assetto Corsa is one of the only sims that simulates oversteer properly
I can't wait to play this!
nice scandivanian flick 6:02
please add lighting to buildings it will breathe so much life at night
What's the name of the song at the start????
Velocity - Walk on by
incase anyone else was wondering.
When u talking about how bad previous Akina version are (flat etc), I have feeling that u never tried IDAS0 version... It is really steep.
IDAS0 Akina is pretty unknown from what I see on servers etc...
it is the same as ek akina
is that Big Bud i hear playing in the background?

Uphill is easier
@@JeuneF Eh, maybe? EK Tsukuba has both and on that I do better on the downhill.

Here listen me up,if you can drive fast in akina,you can do it in any mountain aswell
What tire smoke mod do you use?
what evo is your evo called?
just as a heads up Akina is intentionally quite easy and it's real world counter part was used by the drift king to train himself. at least if my memory serves me
IMO Akagi is a lot easier. Just mein 2 cents though
I hope it comes out by the time I earn enough money to buy new pc and budget sim rig
Can anyone send the link for the google map akina location? thanks!
Try the track batang kali from project kaido, and other project by them...
I CANT EVEN BEAT 4:40 ON THE INITIAL D PORTED ONES AND THERES A NEW ONE??? Well im excited to see TL filled with crashing.
im pretty sure its a payed mod so i dont think tl will use it
Could i have the link to the Evo mod?
Regarding the 'Akina is a terrible Touge' take, I think it lends people a helping hand who want to get into Touge.
Sort of like a tutorial course to the style of racing/time attack nature of the medium.
are u using pure? would you share your graphic setting?
All the settings are in my Discord!
Is this completed now? Or is it still like this
U should use the trueno to drift in this mount
they don't have irohazaka up. that's ok though. akina is pretty, at least.
Make a video on blind attack please 🤗🤗
He is becoming more like takumi
He finds it kinda boring
This is a a game only on PC?
That moment when it cost money
I usually hate paid mods but for assetto there's way too many good mods that are worth it, like rainfx, evolutiozione, iroho and this
You make a valid point with the touge being boring and somewhat overrated the edition of the town is a nice idea though it’s probably just to put the tofu shop in (another reason the track is overrated) what I have always been interested in is the road at the the top that leads to the lake there are separate maps but not many people know/or care what lies beyond the start/finish line perhaps this will be added as part of the realism ?
What's the Mitsubishi Lancer mod here please?
Links to the mods I use are in my discord!
Really cool!
what evo mod is that?
Links to the mods i use are in my discord!
The only Akina I drive down! PK Akina for the win!
can you link the evo?
IT'S FINALLY OUT?? 😍
Ahh so an ad within an ad.
if this was a paid review i would be legally required to disclose so
@@TSRB I just like pointing out things. I’m a pointer outer in the TH-cam comments. I’d rather you get paid, just wanted a group of lonely people to agree with me.
Hah
What car mod is this?
Hey your website is down for a while so i can't take mods from there so could you do something tsrb thanka
How do you get it?

Links to the mods I use are in my Discord!
@@TSRB Then I better start using discord!
Evo 4
What mod is this?
Now it just gotta land in TU featured mods
just what i was thinking. i understand why hes but a price on it but i dont want to spend any money lmao
mann I really wish my pc ran assetto corsa better now
Surprised you don't do iRacing and still think it's boring, I love the track but after playing iracing for a hot few months I do find it a bit boring
Actual sim racing was my main thing before I grew an audience from the few touge videos I made lmao, hence the name
lol i don’t have a pc and hearing people saying akina is boring makes me crazy ahaha
I can not install mods I even bought this mod thingy pro with money and tried it NOTHING WORKS: I can't install mods I've tried countless times
i pray for the day i obtain access to a yabitsu mod
whats that evo 6 mod pls link anyone
try the batang kali, that one very fun
the fedex car omg😆
I NEED THIS RIGHT NOW
It's look good imagine it's night time there
Me cries in ps4
I wish I could get my hands on such mods
