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

Well, its not great, but 'developmental area' is probably how I would frame it..

 

I'll just leave this instagram post by BMW CEO here noting that AMS2 still has some space for a King Proto class right now to be filled

 

Yeah I must say the Lambos and Ferraris are really underwhelming...for some reason there's a bug where I can't see them anywhere no matter how hard I look, how strange Reiza

 

I Agree, the sound of the cars are realistic, but the bit rate of the audio must be pretty low.

 

I think Ettore was following a conversation about iRacing

 

Jokes aside, that reminds me of some peculiarities in the Overrides folder: there are some leftovers from PCars2 however only *some* cars from it are intact instead of all, so I may just be pipe-dreaming and grasping at straws but perhaps the selectiveness has a meaning (Note the Custom Liveries folder has all PCars2 cars though) And it's not like Reiza are afraid to reuse PCars 2 content, there's plenty of cars which I'm fairly sure use the same model and even Reiza themselves have admitted to using SMS content as a base for certain tracks (albiet highly edited)

 

Will there be an offer on the game any time soon? Would love to pick it up for my lad.

 

steam summer sale is relatively close, the game should be on sale aswell

 

Ah of course, will see if it drops in the steam sale. I want to get him onto AMS2 as soon as possible, he only has RaceRoom at the moment but loves jumping in AMS2 on my gaming rig, and likes my old G25 h-pattern/sequential.

So I've built him his own little sequential shifter to go alongside the G29 shifter.

Unless it's been removed I could definitely hear the TC in the RSR and yes it sounded just like the pit limiter.

 

Not really, I mean the Season Pass is supposed to offer the best value, buying it in individual parts is going to be more expensive.

Here, the Expansions Pass (the new one) is only 1.4x the price (£50) of the full 3-part USA pack (£30), so it basically means £20 more for the historic track packs, the street supercars, the off-road stuff and the Brazilian GP legends stuff.

Personally I'll probably buy pack by pack anyway, because frankly the road cars, oval racing and off-road stuff are of zero interest to me.

Just to add to what you say, AC can have incredible sounds as a select, talented few modders have managed. One of them is now doing sounds for AMS2, luckily for us, but honestly I've not heard better car sounds than the 917 and 512 by AMAFMOD.

Spoiler: Example AC 917 v 512

 

It's a good idea on paper but selective purchasing could easily be abused by more greedy corporations: the last thing we need is more games with iRacing or rF2's business model and pricing right now

 

I was talking in the context of sim games but I mean I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes a thing in other titles with how greedy triple-A corporations are getting

 

I'm of the opinion that low populated games such as AMS2 should avoid splitting the already tiny pool of players into even smaller groups. So in a broad sense, the less DLCs, the better.
