Automobilista 2 V1.4.3.3 & Racin´ USA Pt3 Officially Released!

Quality banter, right there.

 

With latest RC, Formula Trainer Basic AI at 100/High is still too slow in top speed and succession of curbs speed.
Tested races on Spa 2022 and 1970 (no chicane) with 16 AI in the dry, with a simulated 50 mins qually session.
On Spa 1970 and starting last, I was first before the end of first lap !

Other than that, the Trainer drives spectacularly well !

 

Just tried both new Spa tracks on the new RC build with the Group C's and neither caused a crash like last time. Thanks for sorting that.

 

IMS, will enter when I'm looking forward to riding there I'm a big fan of the track.

 

Not yet: Haystacks in the fields or fail!

I cracked, and did something I promised myself I wouldn't do, and that's load up PC2 to compare both version. It's good, but my God it just goes to highlight how much effort Reiza has put into the AMS2 version. It's so much better on almost every level (see above), and I think there's still more content to come.

What jumps out is how abstracted and abbreviated the PC2 track is. There's a sense that the SMS team either ran out of time or just sort of sketched in sections of the course and called it done. Weirdly, it looks like they also altered the road layout in places. Reiza's version has the vibe of being a real place, much like their incredible version of the Nordshleife.

All this bodes well for Reiza's version of Historic Le Mans. Something I'm sure we're all looking forward to...

 

Yeah I think GPL's Spa67 mod finally has a worthy competitor (also I guess RF2's historic Spa still holds up alright but you can tell it hasn't been touched since the ISI days)
I have a soft spot for PC2's rendition since PC2 was my gateway to simracing, in the same way I have a soft spot for GPL's original janky version, but this AMS2 version has simply been elevated to the absolute top tier of sim tracks in general let alone historic Spas
Hopeful for the Nordschleife now!

Also while haybales would be a neat addition I think they weren't included for the sake of 1970 accuracy since haybales were long banned by then, it doesn't feel the same having Armco line everything admittedly but it's at least consistent with Reiza having chose 1970-75 for every vintage track so far

 

Any chance of classic Spa having additional garage/gridslots added? Would love it for the sportscars specifically!

 

Hi, Renato!
Is there any chance to add "True Force" feature for G923? A trifle, but it would be very nice.

 

Huh guys what does RC means again? I may have forgot and I'm lost now ahah

Also which track is it?

 

Release Candidate (the opt-in public beta) and Hockenheim 1988 (any low downforce track works, tested with Monza and Hockenheim 2001 or older, Daytona works too I think)

 

Release-Candidate
Idk about track.

 

Ah, sorry, I meant those conical haystacks in the fields, not 'safety' haybales on the tracks.

 

Oh right thank you!

 

Spotted the train yet? tracks on the left

Track looks /feels great Sauber rules again, lol

Nice work.

 

I tried the rental kart at Ortona kart 1 and the AI was putting up times 3-4 seconds faster than the world record that pops up as the race is loading. I'm probably not good enough to judge whether the AI is too strong, but that seemed off.

 

A real animated train with lights in the dark on the left side?
@ Spa 70
Concentrate on the track,otherwise.....boom crash slide.....
Edit: ok,will drive again with the Mini keep searching.

 

that didn't work for me this afternoon either athans going to do a new installation now it is annoying
thanks anyway

 

So from memory in closed cars there is a Porsche and a Corvette from the 70s, the BMW M1, the 2 group C, the 2 DTM 90, Camaro ARC, Street Stock, Stock Car 90-2020-21 and 22 I believe, V8 Supercar, 3 GT1, 3 GTE, 4 GT3, 5 or 6 GT4, 2 GT5, the last Mini (very fun for traction), the Dpi, the Ginetta Cup, the Porsches CUP, Ultima and Ginetta GT3 open, the Corvette C3, Mitsubishi Lancer and I certainly forget some.

 

So what you're saying that lining a race track filled with magnesium death bathtubs that has an an explosion box strapped to it piloted by humans (which are very well known for making mistakes on occasion) with highly flammable haybales isn't safe? Absolutely popostrorious! Hogwosh and balderdash!

Now if you excuse me, I have to pick up something called a 'Darwin award' idk what that is but it's nice finally winning something.
