Automobilista 2 V1.3.3.0 RELEASED - Now updated to V1.3.3.1

It's always safer to run DD-wheel output at moderate levels. Most dd-wheels, even at 50% output, can be quite fast and violent. You are right in that when such events occur, the game ffb-gain level is not likely to influence the wheel output, it's the power going to the servo that matters most.

Extreme ffb events can occur with any title, not just from bugs but, when the USB signal gets interrupted, whether by process interference, priority focus changes, etc. I've seen it happen in various ways, including game crashes, in other titles, too.

It's one of the reasons such hardware comes with multiple warnings and disclaimers attached.

 

Is there any way for us mere mortals to know what's "on the map"? Its hard to know what to raise as an issue, what to check, use, expect etc in any given release. It must be frustrating to put such efort into videos, testing to report the issue only to find "its on the map".

 

@CrimsonEminence do you know if there’s a dev update coming??

 

Are you using motion rig?

 

Ok update on this. (been testing with wheel strength turned down alot). So the exploding tires thing happens every time when selecting hard tires, but the wheel does'nt always go (but when it does watch the F out!). But mostly after the tires have popped, no matter what tires you change to, all FFB is gone, infact, go to another tradck/race/whatever. FFB is gone till you restart AMS2, go to another senario and its back, no probs. Also tried booting up a couple of other sims, and its fine.

 

So few of my friends and I found the same problem with Road America. Car going straight through track wall, spinning in the air and never stopping. I posted it in bug report where i found others experiencing same problem.
I hugely appreciate the constant and fantastic updates but has noone ever spun off road America in testing before publishing the update?

 

No I am not.

 

Timing is no issue, just wondered if it was possible to have an idea whats already known so we don't investigate / double report etc. All good.

 

Depends where. Most of the testers are high-skilled racers

Joking aside, the "unusual" holes in the environment (sometimes in the ground, too) are a normal part of track building and get plugged in the weeks following release. It is not a surprise to find one or a few. You can help by reporting the exact location of this glitch so it gets on the list of holes to plug sooner than later.

 

As a thrustmaster wheel user....what exactly does this mean? is this for thrustmaster pedals or when the pedals are connected through a Thrustmaster wheel?
or is this a typo where it should say thrustmaster pedal types instead of wheel?

I noticed at Daytona and Road America if you're going 2 wide in a group through a corner. The outside line will slow and the second car following on the outside when you pass or near it gets "scared" and basically stops till it clears or figures out what it should do next.

 

Ooooh, a staff member now! I think OEZ is too, a few of you popping up as staff now, well done.

 

This "exploding tyres" bug has been around forever. It's probably just a mistake in the tyre model that results in divide by zero, which kicks the FFB so hard the FFB driver crashes until you restart the game. It used to happen a lot when you unpaused the game with a custom FFB, the tyres would "blow up" and go to minus infinity pressures.

 

@Renato Simioni Any chance of having same "smoothing" applied to the cockpit cam since now the helmet cam feels more normal? or give us the preference in the settings to apply same?

 

TRACKS

• Monza: Added missing grandstands, ad boards / gantries; grounded floating poles at Lesmos in Monza 1991

The modern version still bland in terms of track advertising, license issues maybe?

 

Why aren't you one?

 

Not sure where to post this, but I found a hole in Road America wall down the back straight

 

I've just tried V8s with hard tires and it's completely normal for me. Have you tried deleting your setup folder?

 

No,we stay mostley on track
