AMS2 Career Legacy - yet another homebrew career mode!

invalid@example.com (rsr427) — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 19:03:19 +0000

This is officially my 3rd try at this (including the mode developed with @abesto). Good news for you is that they each get easier to use. I used to be real prescriptive with how to set up the races, but now I don't give a hoot. You race how you want (but what the app suggests) and you earn XP or extra XP (XXP?) depending on how you raced. There's a bit of a story and I'm just really proud that the narrative does a decent job at providing a justification for...

G&J Kartway for AMS2

This is the AMS2 version of my G&J Kartway 2024 model. To my knowledge, this is the world's first original track model for any Madness Engine game. All other track mods for AMS2 are stolen from PC2 and earlier Madness Engine titles; this proof-of-concept is to show that arbitrary and original track models can be made for AMS2. (PC2 can also be supported, but this model uses Reiza-created, AMS2-specific shaders, so it won't work properly with PC2.)

This model is...

Aces IMSA GT3 Bundle

Thought this was worth it's own topic for visibility, so it doesn't go under in the livery overwrite discussions

This livery package bring the real IMSA GT3s cars to your AMS2, all build from scratch aiming for the highest amount of accuracy and quality. The bundle also comes with a namefile for the AI, so all cars will have a correct drivername from the actual car as AI.

All cars also come with 100% Reiza like preview images, fitting the liveries seemslessy...

Can a custom driver XML be used in your own championship?

invalid@example.com (Ilkoko matias) — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 16:33:10 +0000

Hello,

I want to create a custom championship in AMS2 with drivers who have their own names, cars, skill levels, aggression, consistency, and mistakes, using a custom_ai.xml file.

I created the custom_ai folder in my profile.

I saved the XML file with 5 test drivers.

The names don't appear in Single Race, or championships with presets.

Is it possible to use a custom driver XML file in my own championship?

Is it possible to create a custom preset that reads the XML file?

Would it be...

Aces AMS2 Multiclass Simhub Overlay

invalid@example.com (Ace) — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 22:27:52 +0000

I always felt AMS2 HUD can't really deliver all the informations I would like to see in a race and visually just looks outdated. I especially enjoy multiclass races a lot, but the standard hud isn't really able to show you the race of your actual class. Since I couldn't find Simhub overlays that really fit my needs, I took the time to learn how to build my own simhub overlay.

This resulted in my AMS2 Simhub Overlay Suite that is now updated to version v1.2

First big thanks to...

AMS2 Modding Support Feedback

invalid@example.com (Renato Simioni) — Sat, 21 Feb 2026 19:26:53 +0000

This topic is for feedback from mod creators and users alike regarding how they´d like AMS2 to evolve for modding support - what are the main requests from both a mod creation and mod installation POV to make AMS2 a more assessible modding platform?

As previously said the engine isn´t really set up for this so there will be limits to what we can actually deliver, but based on the feedback we receive here we can better assess what are the realistic targets we can actually deliver on.

List of livery names and ids?

invalid@example.com (whyl_) — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 13:35:49 +0000

Hello, does anyone know if there is a way to extract the list of livery names and corresponding IDs from the game files?
...or if there's an existing database for it somewhere, but I haven't seen one so far.

Guide: How to create Reiza-like preview images for liveries

invalid@example.com (Ace) — Fri, 06 Feb 2026 07:50:55 +0000

Since there are tons of custom liveries and it's always a bit of a struggle to get the preview images quite nice to fit in with Reizas own images, I came up with a helping tool using Simhub, that allows everybody with a bit of photoeditor program knowledge to recreate Reiza like preview images.

This little guide here will show you how you make a screenshot like on top and make it look like as close to Reizas previews as possible.

Have in mind this is guide will not be very entry level, so...

GUITRACKMAPS.bff

invalid@example.com (Thomas Weinhold) — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 14:39:54 +0000

Hello,

I am working on a UI tool that shall help to run dedicated servers, especially for operating sportive simracing leagues. In the tool I want to offer track selection with a graphical icon for the track.
Since I do not want to violate any copyrights, I need to avoid embedding images from the game into the tool. But I think it is okay to use the game images from the installation when running the tool, because people that use the tool and want to run a server must own AMS2 by themself...

Any custom AI driver files for GT2 cars?

invalid@example.com (CurtisTI29) — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 13:34:25 +0000

I like to use and edit the custom driver files for different cars but I can't find any for the great GT2 cars (the Milano and Porsche 996), are there any available to download?

Thanks.

Snow on all Tracks

invalid@example.com (Mking) — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 08:44:49 +0000

All you need is any modded track. Do a practice session on that track and set the weather to snow. Load the track. Then return to the menu, go back to practice, and now you can drive on any track with snowfall. Remember to reload the weather settings.

I enjoy CART - is thee anywhere a source for Tracks?

invalid@example.com (Redadeg) — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 02:01:10 +0000

Found Portland and Surfers on overtake but dont know if there working in AMS2 as well (can not check because of hospital stay).

Is there a source to get some tracks from the CART 98 seasons like Vancouver, Belle Isle ore the other great stuff they drove back in the days?

Would be awesome...

Top MOD or must have

invalid@example.com (Charles Jarrell) — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 23:58:54 +0000

As a community of sim racing fanatic's, we like to customize and "tinker" with what we have to get the most out of it. Modding is just that IMO... AMS2 has been around for a while now. Just curious what the community thinks is the best, must have mods or ones you can't live with out. For me it would have to be Crew Chief. I need to know everything about the race while I'm in the middle of the action. Who's leading, track temp changes, laps until empty and everything else. Thanks all

Race Pace: A Living Career App

After trying out the main third party career apps out there, I couldn't find one that really ticked all the boxes for me. I decided to have a go at creating one myself, and after play testing it for the past few weeks I think it's finally mature enough to share. There's still loads of features I want to add, but I would love some other opinions on it!
