Automobilista 2 V1.3.4.0 RELEASED!

Yes, i hope multiplayer will get some love in the next updates. It's about time.

 

Figured I would drop this here, the chassis paint job issues is something I hadn't considered and hopefully they can fix in due time. Otherwise though looks like great fun

 

Explanation of my disagree;
There was no need to fiddle with the the ICM menu, I could prepare my strategies and bind them to a button in CC (Crew-Chief)
With the New ICM the need to fiddling starts (until I find a solution to bind my strategies to buttons again)

 

I am sceptical about MP. AMS2 will never have the great MP mode I am afraid. Just my opinion. AI is not great either so lets hope some of these 2 aspects will get better

 

I like the update - cars feel great. Just did an MP race in a GT3 (LOL) best and closest in a long time. Can really feel the car slipping underneath if it is given too much. Mind you I did delete all of my previous setups and just went with the Reiza defaults.

 

In MP - still too many 1st corner heroes

 

Disagree the previous ICM was too small and cumbersome. Much easier to manage now and see.
Good update!

 

Maybe there was no need to modify the ICM for those who use Crew Chief, but for the others, it is 100 times better now.

 

The CARTS of 95 and 2000 feel heavy as tanks in my wheel. As they just have ~ 700 kg, they feel heavier as the GT3 cars with ~1300 kg (same FFB stettings). Is it supposed to be like that?

 

Yep, no power steering and downforce

 

And more severe caster angle I can imagine?

 

Oh I didn't know that was possible. I can see why you would prefer the other one so. Hopefully you can find a solution. I thought I had still seen an option to cycle between defined strategies at the top of the new ICM. I had only played around with it quickly so I can't fully remember.

 

Weirdly enough the 95 Reynard feels lighter in it's FFB on my rig than the other F-USA cars. It still feels good, just different.

It's interesting how different the cars feel across the three generations. The 95 cars are almost easier to handle with the drop in power, but have significantly less grip. The 98's are absolute unhinged monsters, and the 2000's feel more precise and refined.

 

14:40 is my biggest grip with AI. They do get slipstream, but they don't overtake.

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction where i can find the development-update?

 

On Renato’s PC…

 

It must be a huge one, Renato is proofreading it for 2 days or so now......i am curious to hear about what gets delayed or released next, i sincerely hope that historic spa wont be delayed, but little over 3 weeks to go till the end of Q1, so they got some time.

 

...wrong - in his mind.

 

Just some feedback on the 1995 season cars:

Actual full season entries (27):
Lola-Ford 9
Lola-Mercedes 4
Penske-Mercedes 3
Reynard-Ford 9
Reynard-Honda 1
Reynard-Mercedes 1

AMS2 cars (23):
Lola-Ford 4
Lola-Mercedes 10
Reynard-Ford 4
Reynard-Honda 1
Reynard-Mercedes 4

I respect the fact that these were rushed out, but a few notes:
- Makes sense that the Penskes are represented by Reynards to balance out the field
- The #22 car exists in both Lola-Ford and Reynard-Mercedes cars
- On the #14 Lola-Merc it says Ford on the car
- On the #31 Lola-Merc it says Honda on the car
- On the #33 Lola-Merc it says Ford on the car
- In real full season the Lola-Ford's out ranked Lola-Mercedes 9 to 4, but in AMS2 they are the opposite 4 to 10. This will be a problem when making realistic skin packs. May I suggest switching this to better reflect the 1995 season?
- Maybe have 2 Reynard-Hondas: Johnstone+Ribeiro

 

Yesterday he said it will be published tomorrow, which is now today. I know this is complicated but that isn't two days. The good news is that tomorrow it will be two days so if it isn't published by then you can come back and complain. Yay you!

In other good news, there is every chance that some content will be delayed - it was already mentioned that a couple of devs have other stuff going on, selfishly preoccupied with wars and stuff. It's a bummer I know, you think that the least they could do would be to find a safe place with an internet connection and knuckle down on finishing that old Spa track, but at least you get something else to complain about - so it's not all bad.
