Automobilista 2 V1.1.4.0 RELEASED - Now Updated to v1.1.4.5

***************** To everyone in this forum and nobody in special *****************
I'm Brazilian and I live in Brazil since I was born in 1951.
Things here are "never" how it looks like, one must be an expert in Brazilian things to fully understand.
IMHO covid-19 statistics are biased by many aspects here. Let's say for example, when someone dies by multiple causes, the death certificate lists them all in order of probability. When filling the official database, only one cause must be reported and that is mandatory covid-19 irrespective of how it positions at the certificate.
Some longtime present causes of death here were total or partially cured since covid-19 (March of 2020).
Brazil have about 215 millions inhabitants, 400 thousands deaths represents 0,18% not too different from worlds average.
More then a clinical thing, everything here was transformed into a political war. And people knows that the first victim of a war is the truth.
So be careful from what you hear.

Not to completely derail this topic, a legit question:
How big is Reiza staff (30 people?) and what part lives in Brazil or aboard and what about home office?

And yes, I believe they are working very very hard to give us a good and solid product and make money too, why not?
Of course this isn't an excuse to what is left longtime wrong.
But I'm confident they will fulfill the quality standards they proposed.

 

I know right! I'd love to be able to ramp up the diff on the BMW!

 

I can't believe you are downplaying the complete chaos we are living here in Brazil, mate, but I won't delve into that discussion any further.

Besides, the last couple of pages of this topic went off track and suddenly people are demanding Reiza to provide internal information about their modus operandi, wtf!?

I've been fairly critical of Reiza's priorities before, but I've never felt entitled to demand them to do as I wish... and I reiterate what I've said before: this last build is possibly the most promissing for the future of the sim: the MP code is getting on par with the other titles on the market. This is incredibly encouraging for the current and future league racing! Now, if only we had a couple of hosting features that are missing...

 

.

 

That's my humble opinion. I doubt you are right. But that is another question to be debated elsewhere.

Nobody asked that, furthermore it's up to Reiza moderate this forum if they want.

Me too, I never demanded Reiza anything but I think it's legit users do so.

Finally we agree on anything but... are you demanding a missing feature? Now you can?

 

Sadly I have to agree. I think I mentioned 0.7 elsewhere on the forum as being the best the game had felt physics wise (In a realism sense to me at least), and I've struggled with it ever since then. Also, there are some serious throttle input/mapping issues that are just completely unrealistic, surprised I haven't seen it mentioned more, although I have now read a few posts that probably reference an issue there. One of them being yours IIRC.

EDIT: Just to clarify, I 'Can' still find a little fun/enjoyment within the game, and I do hold hope that it will keep moving forwards.

 

Thanks for the hard work and continuous improvements Reiza!

 

In general,this thema does not belong in a racing forum in any way!
And i only belive in statistics that i have distorted by myself.

 

There is almost no tyre-wear anymore with the Camaro GT4. It took me 3 laps Jerez with chicane to get the rear tyres to 99% and after 8 laps they were still at 99% with the same grip. Tyre heat is not a problem even after spinning. This was much better on release of the GT4.

 

Tyrewear is almost off with every GT4 and the class needs a BoP. The McLaren is just the fastest on every track while Porsche and Ginetta are not competitive (>2 sec. off) and the Camaro is at least within one second. IRL the McLaren is op as well and usually getting extra-weight, lower power and/or higher minimum driving height.

 

I'm with you, 100%, the moderator of the forum must check this type of language, and yes time to time you use a "man cave" stereotype too (starting from the Avatar) but yes, these are only woman

 

I read somewhere on these forums recently that the GT4's tires don't seem to be wearing. I can confirm that after a very long race in the Camaro GT4 that this seems to be true. Afterwards i went back and tried some non stop burnouts and donuts and yep, they aint waering, seems same wether on slicks or wets aswell. Just noticed this.

 

Cool, the cars do feel great apart from that, and the SS version, how far that beastie has come!

 

As we know, the brakes on this car are still way out of whack. Constantly squealing and unbelievably poor performance at low speeds. Turning off ABS has no effect on this, so it appears to be some other cause.

The handling is very nice, though!

 

"As we know" was referring to a post-update discussion that you and I participated in. Put the car in neutral and slam on the brakes at 50 km/h. Not plausible brake forces. They behave as if they are race car brakes that have been in a freezer Also, they continue to squeal incessantly. More work needed.
