Automobilista 2 V1.2.0.0 & Racin´ USA Pt1 RELEASED - Now Updated to V1.2.1.4

I experienced the same without vr.

 

Hi guys, I can't set mandatory pit stops neither in race day mode nor championship, it's greyed out on both gameplay modes. Is it not implemented yet?

Thanks.

 

Yep, GT4 Ginetta too.

 

The duration of the race must be established as laps and not as time.
I guess it's something they'll have to correct

 

Wondering the same thing, I've been refreshing all day =P. It's nearly 6PM in Brazil now so I'm guessing probably not today.

 

Premium Expansion Packs - this will be a new option targetted for those who bought the Premium Track Pack, essentially expanding that purchase into a full 2020-2022 Season Pass (NOT YET AVAILABLE ON STEAM, SHOULD BE ON MONDAY JUNE 7TH)

Does anyone explain? Will who has the Premium track pack win the game pass?

 

Hi guys, has anyone noticed strange behavior with the suspension of the m4 gt4?

I play on a gamepad, so it's a little tricky to say anything about it. However I found a very strange car to drive, it seems that the suspension is too soft and makes the car very bouncy.

Without meaning to, I ended up doing an unscientific test, where with the car almost stopped I keep turning left to right very fast, and the car behaves very bouncy. Maybe stating something?

To make a bigger conclusion I ended up testing every other gt4, among other cars of different categories.

Conclusion, I noticed that only the m4 behaves this way, and the other cars that come closer are the camaro gt4 and montana. But even so it doesn't compare with the bmw m4

I accidentally rendered the video at 25 fps, but I think it's possible to exemplify it anyway

 

It's not only in replay. The tire sidewalls are missing all the time: Cayman GT4 and Ginetta G 55 GT4. The GT4 cars except the McLaren seem all broken in regards to damper setups, nearly all of them are jumpy and jittering, the Cayman and M4 are just the worst. Porsche 911 Cup are similar. Strange is also that the M4 does not allow negative toe at the front. Ther is in general a tendency in AMS2 that RWD cars use toe out in the front. often a lot like -0.5 but zero or low toe in at the rear. Since I'm an endurance race fan, I noticed that the front tyres are usually hot before the rear tyres and gone first in AMS2, due to those setups.

 

While waiting for a hotfix update my thought got erratic this morning. So from now if someone find AMS2 cool after this update and want to buy it and he is not interested by Brazilian content but only EU and US, he will have to pay around 95$ ?

 

Any way to add real weather to already existing championships? Right now it's set to random and I can't seem to find a setting for it

 

I noticed when you create a custom championship that a 'singlechampionshipsave_1_*.sav' file is created.
Does anyone know if these can be shared?
It might be worth starting a thread.

 

Thank you!

 

What type of race are you doing? Is it a timed race or amount of laps? I believe in PC2 you could only do mandatory pit stop on laps races and not the timed races

 

95$ is a bit of a stretch. Not sure if you specifically mean EU and US or more mainstream content. The base game has many single seaters, Group C, GT1, GT3 and GT4. Brands Hatch, Cadwell, Donington, Oulton Park, Snetterton, Bathurst, Kyalami, Jerez, Imola, Cascais, Kansai, Azure, VIR, Montreal and Spielberg. I believe you can pretty easily count Interlagos to the mix as it's hardly known as "Brazilian content" in other sims. Though it is their racing temple .

That is quite a bit of non-Brazilian content if you ask me. But then you also have the Brazilian content and historic layouts on top which is like a big bag of candy to an open mind (I won't judge anyone for not trying them either). Sure if you're actually only interested in what happen to be in premium track DLC and Racin' USA, you're going to have to pay a lot more to get value from this game. But I really doubt that's the case with majority of people. And you'd probably have the same exact issue with other sims if you're really picky.

My thoughts almost to the letter.

Sometimes, especially during qualifying or practice, you are just sat in the garage for an extended period. Its immersion busting to be sat there with the car engine going while the driver is off getting a cuppa, going for a comfort break, changing setups etc etc. In terms of immersion its akin to sitting there while the car overheats.. It is incredibly frustrating that in order to interact with any setup menus, time boards etc the car apparently has to be in a fired up condition. There are keybinds for ignition and engine start, lets be in a position to use them.

 

I just happened to have driven the Passat Classic FL (needed a set up done on it though which is ok I liked that) around Bathurst on a very gloomy day at 3pm (4/07/2019) and it was after a rainy weekend actually, and the race happened and it looked very oppressive and dreary, wow and the light coming through the iron-gray clouds was epic...

yes it drove so good and I could slow/lethargic fishtail down the mountain on the other side and hold the car there. It was really amazing. Cascavel is its next stop.

The lift-off oversteer quality in a word is: dramatic. It goes to show, which we know but it shows it anyway you don't need super cars though this patch and the game does have them (f1 reiza is top tier for example) in order to have a ripper of a race/track day lapping.

Just so I am clear, but when I set up the car, and maybe even prior, you can feel which way the wheels are pointing with this ffb custom thing, and default too, and feel the drag and the slide, its really well done.

No....no other sim I have tried gets such a feel with the wheel and its got to be down to the SETA tyre model and the drivetrain stuff, surely.

symmetrical ticked true

front left 5.7, -3.0, 100, 3, 1, 2, 2, 3, 6

rear left -1, 120, 4, 0, 4, 4, 4, 8,

center 28 steering lock, -0.6, 3, 2, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1

brake bias 60/40.... tyres 1.72 front, 162 back, rear down force 2.0, fuel 12L

F1 reiza and my further thoughts on the sim in relation to other sims.
___
When you drive the f1 reiza round laguna seca for example, its great how you can chew up the tyres and with the heat, make adjustments to front ARB and the whole process is so dynamic, it even feels good actually when the car hits the curb and drops from a foot high, and the impact makes the wheel move. Dynamic time, weather, tires, physics, good job its not perfect but its satisfying lapping and this is how a game should be, the 'just one more lap' conundrum. I took a break - so I just opened up the pit menu and called a pit stop, selected change driver, and he jumped in for a few laps. Then when I wanted to keep driving, I selected it again and he went back into the pits (he had to go in twice once to get new tires which I knew he would I just decided to take the break then), and I later jumped back on. With the sun coming up it felt like a morning at the track and/or we were at a race meet. So this in my book means the game is of a level of immersion I think puts it ahead of others.
