Automobilista 2 V1.3.6.2 Officially RELEASED

Personally, I hope that Reiza staff do not spend a second of their precious time either sorting out existing street cars (okay, quickly fix any glaring issues) or adding new ones to AMS2. For heaven’s sake, don’t waste your resources buying licenses for any more street cars. Please just focus on the racing.

 

For street cars i do use Assetto Corsa. No need for AMS2 to have them too...

 

Theres a whole supercars dlc supposed to be coming out for ams2

 

I'm normally not that into modern cars, but the Evo Convertible is rather easy on the eyes.

Ultima Sports

 

Karts are still suffering from massive engine overheating, and there is no setup or handling that can fix it.

It is really ruining karting races

 

An Ultima Spyder would be a worthy addition, imo. A track-day or full race version would be great.

 

Fair enough guys and I can see you're point about the race cars but im afraid im gunna have to respectfully disagree.

See theres alot of cars that are top notch (in terms of developement) in the sim, I'd love for them all to be top notch (and I know thats what Reiza are working towards bit by bit, car class by car class etc), and the street cars are already in sim so of course they should eventually reach the same standards of realisim as all the rest (if they are last to be developed then so be it, but in the end, who would'nt want all cars to be top notch).

Also this is a simulator and one day I hope to drive a real race car before I die but, it may never happen and the closest im gunna get is a street car, and even that won't be a monster street car like we have in the sim, probably some little hatch back.

Anyway point is Its useful for me to try out driving the street car on street tires, i mean just out of pure interest its interesting to see the difference race tires make by driving a car with streets, also the race setup and so forth.

But it is fun sometimes to race street cars aswell, just because of the challenge they present, and also seeing as they dont have special made racing clutches, tires, engines, drive trains and the rest, I think it would be very interesting to see just how many laps one of them would last at say my local track here in Norfolk (Snetterton) before the engine starts to die, tires wear out or clutch gives up.

Seeing as Reiza seem very good on simulating all of these things, and also very good at fine tuning the rate at which this happens specific to different vehciles, I'd love to see how long the Ultima Street car lasts compared to the Race version, and of course the assumably massive difference in lap times.

I agree with you that racing and race cars is number one priority, but I'd love all this to in the future. I'd even like drift versions of the cars with drift steering angles and drift kits, as I love to drift from time to time aswell. I guess I can only dream!

 

Unpopular opinion: given the unfortunate P2P nature of AMS2 MP, I'm not sure if this is feasible, but I would like to see something like dropping people with poor connection (along the lines of iRacing - notify the person the reason why he's being dropped). At the minute we are all hostages to one guy having bad connection in a lobby of 20 people. I understand there are many many things to solve in MP though.

Mate, sorry if I sound rude, not my intention, but it would be much nicer if you would use some paragraphs in your posts.

Regarding the street cars, I've zero interest in them but I can see where you are coming from. However, I'd put dirt racing/rallying ahead of street cars in this supposed list of priorities.

 

Not at all mate I totally agree, also I usually do, but i've been in a real hurry today as plans have changed about three times throughout the day and im now not sure about the difference between my arse and my elbow. Anyway, i've just gone and edited it to make it easier on the eye!

Oh and er,,, yeah im with you on the dirt racing cars and tracks, I'd love to see what Reiza can do with those! My only worry is it won't be good for offline as the A.I. just don't do sideways driving (if AMS1 is anything to go by) they seem to be set up for whats requiered of track driving on tarmac, but don't have the ability to really use sliding for dirt.... Mind you, I bet Reiza will surprise us!

 

Thought that might be the case! The new tires are lovely on all the cars i've driven so far, and of course it will be wonderful when all cars are updated, I know its being done as quickly as possible, but yeah, its alot of cars to get through!

Love that quote!!!!!

 

P.S. Talking of tires and stuff. I get the feeling the Madness is no where near its limits (i could be wrong, but its a feeling), and so far Reiza have taken it further than its ever gone before. Do you know if it has the potential to give us punctures in the future?
Also can it do undercarrage damage and stuff like that? You know, hit a sausage kerb at high enough speed in and F3 to get airbourne and damage the suspension either on impact or landing?

 

The Camaro is pretty fun for drifting! Not AC levels of easy to control while sideways, but not too bad.

As for the McLaren, the version we have is the much more draggy LM. It had more aero than the normal 240mph one and can't quite hit that top speed.

 

Around 5 laps before the brakes go out based on numerous episodes of Best Motoring taking street cars to Tsukuba Circuit.

 

Thanks mate that is all very promising news, very promising indeed!

Btw, I very much agree about the Procar, I actually featured it in my last video which went up just yesterday, and I know it was'nt on the list of updated cars but, I gotta say, about halfway through the video I was remarking on just how good it felt! Maybe thats purely down to the new way FFB is working i this build, but I swaer it feels different to last time I drove it!

 

....... drop the 1.3.6.0 Version plz

 

Mate love drifting the Camaro! Skip to 14:20 in this video for a drift lap, trackside cam footage at end. Hockenhiem Short is a great drift circuit for it 'n' all!

 

Likewise to you, as we can see from your vid that it was correct , and when Posted as an observation in bug thread January a year later its higher.

Indeed !! ultima road is a beast and reqs much care

Well said, most folk realise this, a few do not it would seem or at least forget for a while.
