Automobilista 2 V1.3.0.0 RELEASED - Now updated to V1.3.0.1

Another one to try:

MCR S2000 at Monaco.

It's pure joy of dancing that rear end out on the edge of grip while just missing guard rails.

And when you get it just 'right' you want to go around again.... and again... and again..

I was never a fan of Monaco because of how tight it is but I know the track well enough.

But now I understand..

 

Yup was about to say hehe. They work really good on Monaco due to small size. I still prefer the metalmoro, more rear happy but hey they are both great!!

 

Same for me: was never a fan Monaco but with that new version and the proper car (Formula V10 Gen 1) it has really clicked for me. That version is really impressive in term of looks, scale, atmosphere and immersion.

 

Exactly. I can carry this sort of shoulder barging momentum through the track now. It was fun and technical before, but it's become much more visceral. Officially my favourite track.

 

There is some circumstantive context to be accounted for though - after updates, player counts like these have been seen before (admittedly not since June this year, but this was the last really big update). Player retention is where it's at. If we get peaks of more than 500 players three weeks from now, we should have solid grounds to celebrate.

I'm cautiously optimistic, but this game still lacks in long term playability, what with having no career mode, doubtful AI and no real incentive to improve one's ranking except for a rising number.

 

We must be playing a different game, for me the AI is now the best I've ever seen. Hat's off to Reiza for what they've done.

 

Some lovely new CART car pics:




Honestly surprised at how close to 'real' a lot of the liveries look, very identifiable. Love the Cleveland shot with the city skyline.

 

That airport track looks so much fun!

 

Was in one with you as well

 

Still too slow into and too fast out of corners.

 

AS I wrote, they are good now, very close to what the real cars does. It is real behaviour that the last gear is only good downhills or for economy speeds. Only clear bug so far is the speedometer: "analogue" display and digital don't match. Also the Tire pressured are a bit odd. OEM recommendation is 2,2/2,0 bar and my experienc is that below 1.9/1.8bar the car does not feel good anymore. RL

 

So if we reinstall the game we lose all the personal stats? Isn't there a way for it to be in the Steam cloud? I believe it can be a bit frustrating, after like one year of racing, to have all the qualifying and race records deleted, even if the rating will be preserved.

 

Correct#470
Cloud inactive for save
+ pc2 will log you as entering a race by joining as a spectator .
AMS2 did this yesterday to me so is the same. not good, and needs to disable as entering a race in stats. Did this yesterday than had disconnect from server just to add to insult lol.

Sat on grid at start of race today online with myself and fellow player p1/2. Ratings on and graphic bug killed start/screen. So hope RS post below helps.
Will run pc2 for an hr to eliminate ams2 or pc. Clutching at straws for cause

 

On first look I thought Reza somehow pulled some black magic and got the seasons licensed with how close the skins are

 

Uuuh, can't wait for those CARTs and tracks. Friday can't come soon enough!

 

Hehe, good idea! Time to start drinking again after ten years of hiatus.

 

Never heard the phrase "slow in, fast out"? (joking, partially)

 

Just to dig deeper, does it also influence the rating if you spectate?
