    I hope they extend to 2024 because there is no way they are releasing all of the leftover DLC by the end of the year at the rate that they have been going.

    The promised content for the season pass will be included. Even if some parts are released in 2024.

    Iirc Renato said that theres a real chance that they extend it to 2023 and have a few bits of bonus content in there. I personally am fine with that but I know some aren't.

    Hi
    I’m quite new
    I bought the season pass
    I don’t know how much more content it includes if any

    More USA stuff I think ?

    will there be a 2023 season pass if they are releasing content in 23 ?

    Future content that will be included in the current season pass is:

    One track pass (containing a single track, probably in multiple configurations)
    EDIT: I originally said two because I was reading the Steam page, which isn't up to date.

    The Brazilian Grand Prix Legends pack
    The Historical Track Pack, with historical versions of tracks that are already in the game
    The Street Supercars Pack
    The Adrenaline Pack, which is focused on off-road cars
    Racing USA Part 4, which everyone is kind of assuming is NASCAR-themed.

    While we're on the subject of things we're all kind of assuming, there's zero chance all this content will be released by December 31st, 2022. They're going to rename the current season pass to The 2020-2023 Season Pass and hopefully release the rest of the content by NEXT December.

    For what it's worth, the current season pass was originally named The 2020 Season Pass. Then they renamed it to The 2020-2021 Season Pass. The current name is the third crack at it, and we're all kind of assuming they'll rename it again.

    But you paid for the content that's on the list. You'll get it eventually. They're not going to say "2022 is over. You have to buy another season pass to get the rest of the content that was on the list when you paid for it. Sucks to be you."

    Who knows how much they can push out by the end of the year. They said they'd at least release the first part of all the remaining DLC that was to be a multi-part release by the end of the year...

    Ok thanks for info
    I’d rather they bring the content that feels as if it’s still in beta right up to standard

    all the tracks seem good quality ,
    1/3 of the cars top notch
    the other 3/d only give ams2 a bad name & cause steam refunds or lack of use
    ( other 3/d not tried yet )

    And which cars currently feel like they are in beta? Only two cars really have any real issues at the moment. Formula trainer and Old Stock.

    yes formula trainer (flory odd )
    The cars that are under P1/P2/P3/P4 graphically compared to a lot of the other/better cars look unfinished (I don’t mind that) , the physics very shallow across all of them & seems unfinished also shame as those types of cars I’d expect to feel like handful , powerful fairly lightweight cars with limited downforce , radical SR8 in iracing for example

    the formula (except the trainer) cars are excellent although some of the historic ones have a strange tendency to rotate into the steering direction when brake lightly applied -there’s some logic to this but it seems very exaggerating but that a side overall they are very good

    The better cars show ams2 is fully capable

    I do have real world experience just track days including formula 2000 style cars but obviously didn’t push right to the edge like we can in sims

    the light brake getting the car to strangely rotate really has to be sorted it’s in a lot of the cars

    This is incorrect. There will be one more track "pass"/DLC. The Steam page is not up to date, it is not counting for Monza that was already released.

    They are not exactly like a radical at all: they have a pretty good downforce to weight ratio. Especially the P1/P2 are not meant to be that much of a riot.
    And honestly iracing SR8 is typical iracing ice-driving mess IMHO

    Yes thank you and the P1/P2 also have TC and on default is set almost to max so if you want a bit more of a wild ride turn off the TC or down to 2 or 3.

    The P3/P4 are pretty low HP and shouldn't be a handful. A couple of the P3s and P4s have less torque than some of the Copa classic FL cars.

    Need more detail on which historic F1 cars. Do you realize how many historic F1 cars are on AMS2. Give the actually cars please. For example, I just took the Formula Retro Gen1 V12 out and It drives amazing.
    Have you tried moving the BB forward a bit.

    I turn off TC & ABS in the main AMS2 options
    Can they still be enabled ?

    The p3/p4 are maybe bland & uneventful & have a lack of depth & feel in real life I don’t know for sure

    TC and ABS have three settings in the menu: On, Off, and Authentic.

    On and off do what you'd expect, regardless of the capabilities of the actual car.

    Authentic simulates having TC and ABS if the real life car has those features, and simulates not having TC and ABS if the real car doesn't have those features.

    For example, real life GT3 cars have TC. Setting AMS2 to TC=On or TC=Authentic will make the GT3 cars in the game have TC. Setting AMS2 to TC=Off will make the GT3 cars in the game not have TC.

    If there is nothing on the first or last day of the month, assume it's gonna be another month of nothing.

    You're probably right, but wouldn't it be nice if we didn't have to assume.
