Automobilista 2 V1.2.3.0 RELEASED - Now updated to V1.2.3.1

Really nice touch Reiza....I'm sure Lee Chorley would love to know he is immortalized in what i gather was his favorite Sim.
May God Bless his soul.

 

Don't know what others think about the trackside camera's in AMS2 replays but to me they seem to be to high, mostly seem to be from cherry picker height, when i do see one from fence height i think it looks much nicer. What do you think?

Is the Multiplayer Lobby buged ?

V 1.2.3.1

All he Multiplayer lobbies I try to join have status "Racing"
Than suddenly the timer starts counting down and I am joined to the race.
I have barely time to choose my car.
Can I disable this auto-join? I would like to give some confirmation to join.
Is the Status "Racing" wrong? I think it is strange at least because some lobbies started joining me

EDIT: and I"m able to vote kick players



EDIT 20210905: I seems fixed now

 

Well, i think on several tracks some camera's need work, from the top of my head for example silverstone some of the camera's could be zoomed out a bit, are too much zoomed in on the player car, you dont get to see the surrounding action that way.

 

As someone who really loves to see trackside replay cameras being as accurate to real-world TV broadcast footage as possible, I find them to be a mixed bag overall, on the circuits where I’m more than familiar with real TV footage. Take some of the 1988 tracks like Imola, Adelaide and Hockenheim for example. Some of the cameras there, are as they were on TV, and then on a different lap they’re in random positions, which is maddening for someone like me!

Now I’m sure for someone who sees replay cameras as not as big of a deal, would rightly think or say that Reiza have limited resources etc, and I get that, but when making the cameras in the first place, it would be nice(even easier!) to use real-world reference footage as a base, that’s all. Not a priority, just a less important wish.

 

Im glad to so VR cameras have seen some attention recently as well.

 

I highly recommend you have a listen to @steelreserv boltcast interview with Todd .

 

Ok so I don't get this C3, the road version that is. 300hp 5.0l and you can't spin the rears, no just a little, can't get the back out under power even just a little? Has anyone ever driven one of these IRL (i mean this exact model), this can't be right no? Donuts are non existent, also i dont understand the gearing, 1st is so long you can't spin a wheel, yet there is the option in the gearing to make it longer, which if you do, the car just stalls), but no option to make it shorter. Infact why does this car have adjustable gearing at all, its a standard roadcar box. I don't get it? Anyone got any real life experience with one of these?

 

Idk does the President of the United States count?

 

That’s weird, mine just wants to go around in circles?

 

Yes and thats even older, 1967. Hence my queiry

 

You own one of these?

 

Lol, no I’m mean my in game version

 

Ok, are you not talking about the race spec, that certainly can spin up the rears, but im on about the road version, that most definately cannot

 

No not the Racing , but I’m talking more about it wanting to spin around corners, rather than doing donuts, I haven’t really tried that, but I’m sure I’ve been able to spin up the tires .
But they a long geared , lazy power , typical of stock old American cars.

 

Had all sorts of issues trying to join regular lobby tonight, either wouldn’t get past loading part, or when I did get in, there was others in there that were not showing up on list and also for some reason my mirrors where foggy and steering was mushy and vague.
Had to give up in the end.

 

Move mouse over the car or circuit and normally lobby screen comes up

 

Curb camera, bird camera, drone camera, eli camera, why stuck on "classic position" camera.
Novaday is much more "diverse" also in Rl, Ams2 camera are a bit static and without dinamic. Like 90 games. Ihmo

 

The problem is that at way too many tracks you have the "zooming into a wall" camera. If those could get completely eliminated I would be happy with the rest.

 

That camera at Long Beach's fountain is cool though. I agree from the pov that as all tracks start to have decent trackside cameras, I wouldn't mind seeing some fun revisions. But first things first .
