Automobilista 2 August 2022 Development Update

Finally. That alone made me reinstall AMS2.

I have always criticized the yellow flag system in this sim for being practically non-existent. The track may even be blocked because of a pile-up ahead that I doubt the yellow flag indication will appear on the HUD. The only few yellow flag indications I saw in this sim were only as a small icon on the minimap.

Hopefully, with the introduction of full course yellow, pace car and marshalls flag-waving animations, this system will finally be tweaked and improved.

 

Is there any plan to allow us to make ai changes in game, instead of through editing files? When you're short on time, it can be a bit much

 

IRacing’s tire is not good. The ir18 is the best out of all them. But with that said, drop the clutch in the ir18 and the tires are like you’re driving on ice for a while, not good and they all do it. I’m not saying do a burnout like a Top Fuel dragster but you should be able to accelerate and light em up like we saw last weekend (every) at Tennessee exiting the pit box

 

Hopefully the FCY status can be passed through telemetry, for those of us using SimHub dashboards

 

Can we expect an option to change color materials, like matte, pearl, metallic and glossy for cars?

And crew chief

 

Nice update and appreciate the dev log. I thought Daytona oval was coming. Are more ovals coming in the future? Two really isn’t enough for a full championship.

 

I've waited a long time for this moment, to have a "Formula-USA" and oval racing by Reiza, I think I even suggested that name a few years ago.. Also cool the new Mini in the free content. We definitely don't need the paid content from other games.

 

Really exciting stuff, looks like it has been a really busy one, thanks. Really looking forward to trying it all out.

Could you please tell me if all of the season pass content is expected to be out before the end of the year, or could the season pass end up including part, or all of 2023?

I think this was mentioned earlier in the year suggesting it would all be coming this year, however, that was before the delays.

P.S. So happy to see the trucks getting some love!

 

Daytona oval is coming, just not as a part of Racin' USA Pt. 3, but as a free addition to Racin' USA Pt. 1.

Also, Renato said that the planned (for 2023) Racin' USA Pt. 4 was supposed to have both oval and road course content.

 

Crew chief picks up the FCY and informs you about "double yellow" being out

 

So it's 3 from USA Packs plus Jacarepagua'...

 

I certainly wasn't suggesting iRacing's tire model is good. All I meant was that the 2 sims I mentioned are quite old and still adding features. RF2 in particular lately.

 

Oh and by the way - after reading the dev update - if there ever was a time to make a promotion trailer for a new game update combined with a new DLC, it is now. Maybe you can ask one of the beta guys to do that for you?

 

Sounds amazeballs, good work and thank you!

18th time though…. Night/wet gfx performance optimisations in VR?

Just say something please, even if it’s nothing for now…

 

WOW!
Astonishing news!
All beautiful and full of racing spirit.
At this point the wait is happier and more confident, given the ideas that make this fantastic AMS2 even better.
Thanks Renato and the whole crew

 

Great that we will be able to adjust the number of cars in each class.

 

Very exciting that you guys are taking a look at multiplayer issues in addition to all the other great changes. Going strong as always
