Automobilista 2 V1.1.0.0 RELEASED - Now Updated to V1.1.0.5

Just revisited the StockCar after reading the post. Last time I tried them was months ago, and I remember them to be squirly under braking, and killing me all the time with massive on-throttle oversteer(examination of onboard footage suggests to be a gear higher than you think you should be...)
The transformation they've undergone is an absolute testament to the devs dedication and persistance.
I was immediately on the pace and never in the grass. They still require discipline and restraint, but got rid of the extreme criticality that put me off them before.
Imo these should be the signature series for this title. It's a popular series that oozes with Brazilness.
I dont know what the deal is with the 2020 cars, but the 2019 are way more fun and easier to control to my taste.
No electronic bs, roaring v8 powerplant, and tons of unique character...
The excessive bounce that gave it such an unpredictable rear-end seems to be reduced to what I would describe as really nice and compliant damping.
Along with the massive improvements to AI behaviour, it makes for very late nights...

 

I just love this game but was wondering as I’ve checked website but cannot find the roadmap for 2021. I have always preferred race cars rather than road cars and I am extremely curious to know if there is any pans for modern touring cars ie BTCC or WTCC as for myself personally it would make car criteria complete. Funnily enough I’m not a massive fan of the sprint car currently in game

any info appreciated

updated roadmap was announced for end of this month

 

Thanks

 

At Interlagos historic there is a similar issue like on other tracks, i.e. after turn 2.
It feels like driving on roadlines is like driving on some glue (the opposite of walking on eggshells what would be more real especially in rain)
hitting roadline

car pulls to right

and it will end up in a spin

 

also in the Brasilia circuit it happens

 

Which car / series did you use?
I don't know if I'm right but I think it is more car instead track depending. I mainly have this issue with Formula Classic cars.
At Interlagos historic at the exit of Ferradura the car pulls extrem unexpected to right side. If there is different surface between right and left side - OK - but there is no (visual) difference.

 

on the finish line, left side of the carriageway

go to minute 5:58

 

Yes, I see, it is not so hard as what I had (or you had a better reaction ) but this is the strange issue when touching roadline, and I think the roadlines are causing it in most cases. It is like driving on glue, or have a broken suspension or a tire explosion. Really strange....
And I am also sure, it is less track but more car depending. I drove with Copa Truck at Curitiba and had no issues, but with others I had.

 

it happens to me only with formulas / open wheel

 

In the Formula Classic it was very evident a fairly strong left side pull on the pitlane straight

 

I have followed this discussion about the strange side pull on some tracks.
I havent recognised it - but has it something to do with FFB?

 

To be honest I would not compare it to driving on grass... At my end it rather feels as if there is a "groove" in the tarmac that leads off track and pulls you sidewways...

 

That's a good description, but as I think, the "groove" is not at the track, it is at the car, because I think it is car depending....
But it seems there is really a strange issue, it is not only me with that strange, there are some more.
So I am glad, that means I am not drunken when driving, I had my fears....

 

I experienced a hard pull to one side on Brands Hatch (Indy) running one of the Caterham's.
IIRC, it was where different track-paths intersected.

 

I doubt it is car related in that it only happens on certain tracks (not all) and always in the same place. The same car in other tracks may not experience that at all.
Probably some cars (like maybe Formulas and karts) are "stiffer" than others so it can be felt much more clearly.
