Automobilista 2 October 2022 Development Update

It's officially Christmas in the UK now, so merry Christmas to everyone

 

Merry Christmas...

 

Content-wise this upcoming update is really nice.

 

So... where is it?

 

I find it a little sad that at this time of year , wither it be xmas day or xmas eve where everyone is , that the most important thing in some people’s life at this moment is a small article about a piece of software designed to provide entertainment and challenge within the confines of a seat in a room . .
i feel sorry for those that can’t just relax and enjoy some down time with friends and family .

 

Racinglegend1234 probably reached nirvana at this point waiting patiently, I'm impressed.

 

Wish I could but my family doesn't share this wish... So here I am...

 

They are.

 

I have the most experience here when it comes to watching AI race eachother, and I can say there will and always will be incredibly immersion breaking stuff.

Nr2003 (which is top tier AI when it comes to AI along with Iracing) had awful wreck avoidance, cars unrealistically surviving crashes, FCY bunching which would kill cars, cars over driving corners and sliding into the wall at higher strengths, not overtaking despite an obvious pace advantage, tire fall-off not being very noticeable, very little strategy variation, very little racing line variations, poor lapped car behavior, and many more. Say what you will about the age of the game, but the AI holds up (especially if you know how to edit the track.ini and papy_ai.ini files) so well that the only sim that has ever been made that surpasses it is Iracing.

AMS 2 comes in third easily, rFactor 2 might stand a chance but that game is so fiddley to set up I haven't yet. But my point is good luck finding sim racer where you can't make the "this AI is so broken it needs a complete rewrite" outside of Iracing.

 

True, and Iracing has had 10+ years to develop it...

 

Can you imagine not everybody cares about Christmas? I play games and don't do holidays.

Do you know Twitter exists? There was info update is ready and will be here yesterday. Can you imagine some people thought it's real? It's not our fault we like good games and trust people.

 

I got myself new hardware for Xmas, a month early when the gear was in stock too, a Strix rtx4090 OC, AMD 7700X, Strix x670e mobo, claymore 2 keyboard, Helios case, ryujin 360 2 AIO, noctua fans, 6tb m.2 SSDs, 32gb g skill expo ram, a second 34 inch monitor and Chakram X mouse. Well probably should be for the next 5 xmas. Haven't told the missus how much it all cost!

 

Shoot,, was about to switch this reading stuff here off, but hey good on you, I was impressed with your rig when you explained all last time I asked, and saw the pics.
I hope you enjoy all the new stuff, I can only wonder!.
Hope to fire up pc this end sooner rather than later, seems a month ago.
Good luck have a nice day down there.
Just after midnight here so merry what's it?.
Oh, Christmas
More Vod/Martini's

 

good info. What does the Ai run, the same spec setup that is available for Indianapolis

 

Yeah thanks, Merry Xmas to you too. It is almost midday here now so half over. Will post up some new pics before this year is out, is a nice simple looking clean build. Gave the prior rig to my 10 year old for Xmas, can't keep him off it and war thunder.

 

Merry XMAS everyone

 

yes this is true. More so here as this Sim is more focused on RC. And most RC racers think, turning left is easy. It’s not but I think from my own oval (lots) experience this car out of the garage with the set loaded could easily send a racer away saying f*** this! This is where I’ve said simple things are missing here. Pit entrance (pit speed limit)at Indy is off, it’s farther down then the entrance also it’s not 62 mph

 

Super. (discussion thread pls where you've posted prior. so as not to clog here)

Lucky fella/dude!

 

You are describing a known bug with some vehicles where the wrong default set-up is loaded and does not get reset unless you go into the garage setup and either make a change or just hit "reset to defaults." When that happened to me in one of the Indy cars, it felt like the back of the car was on ice. Completely ludicrous handling. Reset the default set-up, and suddenly a pleasant and fun car to drive.

This bug was present in PC 2 and never fixed by the authors of the engine, so it is not a simple thing for Reiza to fix. It does temporarily give a very bad impression, but not sure what can be done about it.
