Automobilista 2 V1.1.2.0 RELEASED - Now updated to v1.1.2.5

I disagree... the grip levels are great and very realistic. Yes, I drove about a dozen super cars around different tracks in Canada and in the US, so I know what I'm talking about.

 

If watching races from that time, it is by nature that there is some lost of cones during the race. Profs are not perfect, too But it would make it a bit more interesting, especially if one lap all cones are standing, next lap severals are missing.... So you have to adjust your reference points Something difficult but real.

 

That sounds like a great bit of info for the UI. iRacing seems to do quite a lot right and sets a benchmark in more than one way.

 

I think I noticed some cars have ABS/TC options in the setup page but the car didn't have any. I should have noted it down but think one was the Honda P1.

 

I've noticed, yeah sure they are 2 even 3 wide but they have been 2 wide around the whole lap, even through corners they have no right being side by side. They attempt passing into corners no one would ever try a pass. I think that sort of thing needs attention.
1:31 in your video is a good example of this side by side in wrong corners.

 

I agree that the grip levels are great, but under the limit like say warming the tyres, or on a cool down lap/ the car can feel a bit too much on the limit.
Also exiting slow corners, rear slip is a bit too on or off in some cars.
But overall feels very close to the finished product now.

 

Yes, I think so.
Look at F1 GP 1986, the barrier is near track without any sand trap.

In 1988 it is a bit strange: it seems that there was a sand trap but not used by F1

But in 1989 they used sand trap all the way through Blanchimont to Bus Stop

 

Ok, nice. If you say it is more realistic then I believe you. You have more experience than me. I can only go on videos and such. To me, it still seems off, if you look at real-life and other simulators.
And what is your opinion about the bounciness? Because to me that still doesn't seem right, especially if you look at real-life videos.

 

1. Porsche 911 Targa 4S All Wheel Drive (not the the fastest, but the most accurate/nimble/all rounder)
2. Ferrari 488
3. Hated the Ford GT, and the Lamborghini (basically an Audi interior with a different body and same engine as the Audi R8 v10)

I could go on for another dozen...

 

I also found it nice at the beginning after those single file AIs we had before. Now I am not so convinced it is better. Looks good to see AI fighting each other but after doing 5 of 10 laps just staying behind the AIs and watching them is just more unnatural than the single file and also boring.
They were always in groups of something like 4 cars going 2 by 2 side by side, blocking the track and not actually overtaking, not losing time in corners and not pulling away from the other AI even when they overtook.

 

More variation is coming. It's easier to see the impacts of core programming changes when there are fewer AI "personalities" at play. As the basics get stabilized, a greater variety of behaviours will appear. Some of the AI are literally copies and pastes of each other, so no surprise they cluster together in an unnatural manner.

 

I tried that right now, but it's still not working correctly.
