Automobilista 2 April 2021 Development Update

Ah, I was hoping it to be now since the Steam just refreshed it's Store but seems like it will take a while.

 

T-T

 

So then it can take 2 to 3 hours from now

 

or longer

 

I'm blaming beta testers for any delays. They are either finding too many bugs that Reiza need to fix, or don't test efficiently so Reiza have to allow them more time. There's the third scenario - backers are efficient and update lands on time, but that wasn't recently the case.

So there you go, I've found the culprit(s)

 

Long Beach and my beloved North America. So happy to see it happening in AMS2. But WTF, they kept the ugly palm trees. They don't even look like the real ones in the real circuit. Oh I see, it is a copy paste of the PC2's. They can't enhance/modify things in madness engine. is it that?

 

Hmm, that's put me in the mood to down a Lagunitas (or three) while I wait

 

I have even more bad news: I'm pretty sure I haven't seen a Bubba Gump Shrimp logo anywhere on the previews. Damn you Madness engine!

For real though Madness can hardly force to use a specific type of palm tree. I doubt it's just a copy paste either. They've used multiple PC2 tracks as a starting point, but you don't notice it at all, cause Reiza do their thing.

Do you have some specific images that demonstrate how they should look?

 

Scenery is an important thing but does the quality of a palm tree really matter when you're going past it at full speed?

 

I usually test all tracks in the Austin Mini Cooper at 30mp/h, checking the scenery left and right, especially all city road tracks.

 

Here is a real picture:

When I compare it with the palm trees in this video (at 6:00 min) it looks similar, but I‘m not a palm expert...

 

We should test the DNA of AMS2 palm trees to verify they are exactly the correct type and no GMO allowed either

 

So...everybody waits for Renato?

 

The only palm that deserves this 3d derivation

 

it matters, because i can notice everything, even in high speed. (and not always in "high speed"). you can call it an artist's eye. seeing the beauty in things even in a racing game. because i want this sim to be perfect. Forza M7 is 5 years old and their long beach track look way more appealing/beautiful.

 

@Renato Simioni hurry up! We are now discussing the palms….
Btw I agree they are the wrong specimen
