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

When you downshift without or insufficient autoblip/manual blip, the rpm differences from the low turning engine in relation to the lower gear, you've applied will cause the rear wheels to lock or underrotate.

You can actually use this to an advantage, by stressing the car a bit more in exchange for manipulating turn-in.

Uploading a run at Suzuka with the 962C right now, so you can watch by yourself, if it looks floaty here.

 

@Split Second
Here we go:

Does this REALLY look floaty to you?
I'm even at higher boost from the turbo.
I think, the car might even have a bit too much grip, sometimes, tbh.

One Replay-Lap, one sloppy cockpit lap, one less sloppy, but still sloppy cockpit lap.

 

Thanks matey, I already have an understanding of this.. My thoughts were elsewhere when I read shift-lock..

Do you think it should it grab gears so easily without blips...?

 

Do you mean "grab gears" in terms of getting the gear applied in the first place? You will apply the gear for sure. But you will cause your wheels to underrotate or lock and encourage lockups, when not blipping. I definetly experienced this several times right now.

 

Yeah..

AMS2 you can rapid change down 6,5,4,3,2,1 with no blips and all gears engage at any RPM.. I hate to make the comparison however what choice do I have.. Lets just say the "competition tittle" won't allow you to do that. As a test it wont engage a gear if you have not blipped correctly and rev matched whilst lets say you are rolling along somewhere between 3-5k RPM...

Question is which is correct..?

 

With a sequential gearbox, you should be able to apply the gear blipless safely, but it will give you locking rear tires. I never encountered it in any sim, that you aren't able to apply a lower gear with sequential gearbox, without blipping. Can't imagine, that you definetly can't apply a gear without revmatching on the sequential gearbox, but maybe i'm wrong. H-Shifter is another thing, of course.

In both cases it was wheelspin...it would also have happened without any kerb. The bouncing feels pretty normal and wasn't the reason. It could be cured by stiffer damper rebound probably.

I felt the whole time what happened. No gliding, no loss of "connection", communication by the car and possibilities for proactive actions. And here is one of the reasons, why just by watching videos, you can't make any assumptions.

These are high downforce corners (Btw. i could've also gone over the limits there and provocate power-on-oversteer, there was still time left)

Okay, sorry, but i can't follow you at all anymore...do you really expect a Gr.C car at 98% turbo boost to stay stable out of non-downforce sections? I was managing the car by throttle and steering, you can also tankslap it...

 

Okay, know the name, but very strange, i don't expect him to intentionally wreck you, maybe you might edit the name out btw, was maybe not the most brilliant idea to ask for it here. '

 

Off-topic:
Had some guy week or two as well. But he was also cheating. Teleporting from middle pack, to third place, to first place, then suddenly when I told the lobby he cheated he backed off and began again ramming people. etc Wrecking people, etc etc. Wish there was a report-button and a way to upload the replay. These people need their AMS 2-license revoked. Paul Cox is my judge and some others.

Btw no name and shaming here.

 

Because name and shame is not so good, my bad for even asking, i will discuss this in our event-discord, though, because this definetly looks intentional.

 

You are now trying to tell me, you felt better, what i was feeling on the wheel, than me, actually being on the wheel? Okay.

Probably because you can have a better setup and probably because every sim has its quirks, things might look different in real life. In AMS2, it bounces more, in AC Kerbs are killing your car, in AMS1 Kerbs become slippy in R3E Kerbs are often hardly affecting anything...things are NOT real life

Look at the drivers helmet. XJR-14, but still Gr.C... 6:19...camera has an influence, like you've said.

This matter will be discussed definetly, but i don't think, this is the right thread for discussing incidents. You are completely right, that this is not tolerable, though.
