Automobilista 2 V1.0.5.0 RELEASED - Now Updated to v1.0.5.1

OK sounds promising - hehe and Im glad I wasnt too critical about this abrubtness
Its some years ago I uninstalled rF2 but as I remember this sudden switch on of reverb when you as example did drive under a bridge or near a wall was more or less the same.
And while others did criticise this I found it only slightly goofy - but at least I could hear that my higher end soundcard could easily reveal such sounds cues
No sweat my Auzen XFi told me

 

rF2 seems like it's using an old version of the Miles sound-engine and could benefit from an engine update, as well as improved samples for many cars. They have said they will add new drive-train physics at some point. I imagine that involves updating audio again so, still lot's of puzzle pieces to engage there.

Some of their audio-dynamics have never really worked as good as it should imo. Car-sound quality is inconsistent and some badly in need of updates. Even with mediocre sound samples, better audio-dynamics could be more convincing. I've noticed more players requesting that rF2 receive some attention in that area but, the list of things needing work in rF2 is a long one.

 

The overpass after Degner 2 @ Suzu... ehr... "Kansai", being a clear example of this. Was quite surprised when I first heard it.

 

Shouldn’t Mona... ehr... “Azure Circuit” be a good example for reverb effects as it’s the only track with a long tunnel?

 

Right, it's missing...
But I'm wondering about the dampness in tunnel when it's raining a little bit, too. With the roof and the (nearly) closed sidewalls this can't happen except there's a wild storm and waves from the sea dabble into the tunnel (like in the F1 race in 1997). Normally it's a (hugh) problem to race with (full wet / monsoon) rain tires through the tunnel because they will overheat that time.

 

Was there changed anything to AI with the release of v1.0.5.0 / v1.0.5.1?
Since this release I can't loose the feeling that AI got slower.
I used AI at 95% first, since v1.0.5.0 98% and now 100% (and aggression at 100%).
First I thought it's the new content of GT3 and GT4 only, but when I did a race with F-Retro at Hockenheim 1977 I had the same. AI was very slow (OK, I did a start-finish win, that was a fine variety), especially between 3rd chicane and stadium they lift throttle or went onto brakes, I don't know. But it was very dangerous not to crash into the back.
In the changelog I can't read that there was a massive change in AI code, so what happened to them?

 

We could also run them in Multiclass next to the rental karts on the Nordschleife :O

 

Good luck then,watch the tyre temps...
And here is a real one ...Grand Prix track of course!

 

take a semi-trailer with spare tires with you, I will. Otherwise I know that without I won't finish one single lap...

 

i hope we don't have to pay toll when on NoS with the trucks

 

I'm not sure-)
Trucks in following weight and emission class have to pay toll (see also Toll Collect | Lkw-Maut in Deutschland):
<7.5t (free)
≥7.5t till <12t Euro6: 9.3 cent/km Euro1/0: 16.7 cent/km
≥12t till ≤18t Euro6: 12.8 cent/km Euro1/0: 20.2 cent/km
>18t Euro6: 17.3 cent/km Euro1/0: 24.7 cent/km

Means for a F-Truck (I guess it's compareable with Euro0 engine) with less than 12t one lap at Nordschleife + full GP with Mercedes arena (25.947km) costs about 4.33 € / lap.
Don't know the lap time of F-Truck at Nords but I would guess about 15min, so 4laps/h are 96/24h, 24h race costs about 415.68€.
Time to save money!

 

I assume the actual ability to override default liveries hasn't been added for us to use yet, just that the code-level 'switch' has been added?

 

Dare I ask ... ?
Nords ... Have I missed something ?
Cannot find mention on the News page except somewhere saying a week ago its coming Next Week ... So is that This Week or Next, next week ?
Sorry but am confused

 

You haven’t missed anything. Tweaks, adjustments and general fettling are ongoing before a release when they’re ready and believe it’s ready.
Perhaps they’re also looking at a few tweaks to recent update content etc to come out at the same time - that would make sense but is pure speculation on my part.

 

Yeah Beta testing ongoing... Good things happen to those who wait

 

BINGO

 

Is it included in AMS2 Beta? or you mean the developers are testing it
