    @Archie - check on Steam page what does it say

    http://store.steampowered.com/app/347990

    It says to me "This game will unlock in approximately 7 hours" and preordering is still open for another 6 hours.

    That means it will be open at 19:00 h GMT+1 zone (Croatia)..

    At least leave your PC on, so you don't have to wait another two hours for the DLC to download.
    I'll be working tonight too, so I'm gonna play late this night. No time for dinner, I suppose

    Guess I need to plan getting up early for a 4am start, though I have a 9am meeting so can't play too long.

    I had to hit validate files to get the Dream pack to download, just in case anyone else is sitting around waiting for it.

    It finished on my PC at 8am today - Said "Queued update" unitl 7:31am!
    To late for me to test.

    Looking forward to giving it a good blast tonight. What are everyones thoughts on the Laserscan track?

    Got to say I have been playing pCars a lot more than AC lately, purely because of Nords.

    I have had a messed up day so have not had much time to play yet, but so far Nords lives up to my expectations and is now at the top of my favorite track list.

    I don't have PCars so can't compare. AC seems to have captured all the nuances that Nords is famous for.

    I finished downloading at 1:00 am but gave it anyway a try. Just a few words: You won't play pCars anymore!
    that's also what other people said. The new track, new cas and the 1.1 changes (like fog!) are amazing

    I played AC last night. The Nords is amazing, however AC is still let down by it's car selection. It's very Lotus heavy and I'm not a fan of the handling on Lotus cars (Large boat, small rudder!) The Ferrari GT2 is good fun, as is the 190E EVO and the Abarth, but thats about it sadly.

    pCars still has the upperhand IMHO, the Capri Zakspeed Group 5, Formula A and Ford MKIV are awesome in pCars, as is Nords, California Highway and Azure Coast. Sorry AC fans :(

    I never pre-order Beta games... there is always some delay, however with 3.75million euros in the bank I'd be curious what the hold up is!!
    (unless they are still working on the physics of their Securicor trucks!!!)

    The Assetto Nords recreation is so realistic that this reviewer jokingly called the in-game emergency number and got the real deal!

    Imo the formula's in Pcars are Pure junk. Very much Simraceway based Sound and Physics/Tire model. Now granted i have access to a 2015 spec F1 that is slated to be released in AC in the coming weeks/months, and it BLOWS the doors off the "formula A-b-c" and Any Current F1 mod in AC. And Dont even mention the FF1 from ChanginCar or there will be a Hail storm of BS ill explain on that model and creator. The 2015 slated to be released Uses ALL data points, Not just "some"

    Yes Pcars has some features that are nice, But overall Physics/tire engine goes to AC, Content is a little light still on AC's side, tracks especially, but hey we have the Nords, Who can complain, lol And there are a few decent mod tracks ive come across over the past 12 months. So Comparing The track lists, AC & laser scanning wins.

    I expressed EXTREME want for a realistic handling F1 with Proper data points being used and not just Nullified to fix a particular issue. That lead to a particular Physics guy seeing the use for a motion rig tester. Month's later we've solved a few issues One of the VERY well respected Physics guy felt was impossible to fix. (blamed it on Kunos)

    We initially had some problems securing a proper model but we've since teamed up with F1Ligue and I look forward to having a proper modeling team as well as physics/suspension guys.
