Automobilista 2 V1.2.4.1 & Monza DLC RELEASED - Now updated to V1.2.5.1

rallycross or supertruck is better then new car manufacturer

 

Maybe but that is content fit for the Extreme Pack DLC coming next year

 

Is that confirmed to be coming?

 

Supertrucks were in AMS1 and considering Renato wants to bring all AMS1 content to 2 eventually, I believe this would fit in, possibly part as base content. As for rallycross, well, pC2 had it and it was surprisingly good, so it might.

But just to clarify, I didn’t say it will come. Just that that content would fit as Extreme Pack content.

 

Ah yeah, ok, that would be great, just did a supertrucks race on ams1 a few weeks ago, and that was a lot of fun

 

Basically yes if nothing changes, this is in the description of the Season Pass on Steam:

 

I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure that @Renato Simioni said that they would be bringing a large stable of cars from the biggest rivalry in all of automotive history...

Matchbox vs. Hotwheels

 

Batmobile round Nords yes

 

Great work as usual, Reiza...Thanks VERY MUCH!!!

 

What a nice little Saturday bonus. Cant wait to drive the C9 again. Thank you!

 

"Velocitta: AI tweaks (less apex grass trimming and sausage surfing)"

Nice little surprise there, much appreciated!

 

Porsche Cup is now perfect. Please seal it in a 5,680 bit encryption with a "do not touch" clause.

Thank you for this.

 

It's nice to see some changes being made on that front, but it's still not enough. We really need either a scrubable time line or the ability to jump to a lap start. The increase in speed doesn't seem that significant. If you had an incident at the end of a 60 minute race you want to review you have to fastforward @ 10x for 5 minutes? It's still not practical.

 

Since you're housekeeping, I'd like to talk about pit speed limits briefly. I'm not a big fan of how they are currently handled, where historic cars on modern tracks get 100km/h.

Now, I'm no scholar on the topic, but I think speed limits should primarily depend on the era of the track, and only secondarily on the car/series. Historic tracks or historic layouts (say 1980s and older) should not have pit speed limits at all since there were none back in the day. Current day ("modern") layouts should either have 60km/h for all cars, modern and historic, or ideally the real life limit per race series. If there were higher limits in the 1990s or 2000s compared to now, implementation of those would also be great, maybe even outliers like Adelaide where the speed limit is lower (at least it was in AMS1 ^^)

Pertaining to that topic it would be nice if cars without pit speed limiters in real life would also loose those in game.

IMO this is not an urgent topic, but something that would add to the simulation aspect.

 

It isn't, but considering it's an engine limitation, having it twice faster than before is a very welcome improvement. I was hoping we could get even larger multipliers, but still, happy to see the x10 one at least.

 

Well, hopefully some amount of magic can happen in the future. Now Ian has all this free time on his hands maybe he can add an extra line or two.

Has anyone noticed an issue with time trial? If I restart a session my frame rate tanks, restart the session again and it's fine. Happening @ Spa with the C9 and two ghosts loaded.

 

Adjustable side mirrors incoming!

 

It's outstanding, absolute bliss, especially with Steelreserv's tune on it. To the point of addiction.
I find it now falls into a growing list of classes that can be left at 100 AI skill, and be absolutely fine for most, save for the true aliens.
That's in the wet(light rain at least...)as well, as of late, top 10 within a second or so for pace, as it should be.
On every track I can remember to have tried so far... This goes for ie the RSR '74, BMW 2002 and largely the gt3 for example, where even the BoP is not quite there arguably. People's mileage may vary, but I find I can, with extremely little effort, tune it in to where it's absolutely close racing where 1 mistake will ruin your gap to the car behind, and only sheer consistency will reel in the guy in front.
I've been in so many situations both on- and offline, where there's just major gaps after a lap or 2, and that was that afa the racing was concerned.
Very pleased in other words with the way stuff is being dialed in, and it's so inviting to want to revisit pretty much everything.

This is what happens when capable people keep tweaking away at stuff, we knew this was coming.
