Automobilista 2 December 2022 Development Update

Meanwhile I've been driving them and the F-Retro Gen 3 almost exclusively for months.

 

Just tested Gen 3 Mod 2 in the live- and beta version. No strange understeer on my side. Do you have a videoclip of it? I made one for you to compare ->

BUT what I found out is, that there are now SPARKS in the sim!? Whaaat. Flying sparks..never saw that before.

 

Sparks in beta or live?

 

Live AND beta. :O

 

As far as I remember sparks have been in the game for a little while now. Although recently in VR I think the right eye is off with the sparks because they are producing off of the car to the right when following while the left eye is correct.

 

Sparks have been in the game since, I wanna say, at least 1.3 if I'm not mistaken but they've always been somewhat mild relative to what the actual cars produced back then (Sparks are sparks though! It's neat attention to detail that they have them eitherway)

 

Would be fun to have a large amount of sparks

 

AC sparks:

Real Sparks at Spa:

 

It seems only formula cars and prototypes produce sparks. Did GT1 or Group C cars produce sparks?

 

Yeah, I hope they’ll fix it soon or better don’t use sparks at all because they’re distracting and inconvenient for the eyes in VR with this one-eye-only-bug.

 

I like Sparks too!

 

While we're talking about sparks and other fun lighting quirks, could we get better spread on tracks that have proper night lighting? I know it's been mentioned before, but if you look at real examples of night races at many of these circuits, the track is fairly evenly lit.

 

Nice reference!!
I like sparks too, maybe it needs a beauty pass in AMS2, like the amount, behavior, and opacity parameters.

 

I would like Reiza to maybe just add sparks to cars which IRL produce sparks regularly

 

I do not have video clip. What is your car setup? Ride height specifically. Cause my default settings in that ride height is too high and maybe that is causing my understeer, 60mm on front and rear 80mm. Example: silverstone 1991. Can't go lower than 55mm and 75mm. Bump stops are also zeros on both front and rear. Other cars are ok in that class and is good at default settings. And low downforce settings in certain tracks which uses low downforce settings are ok. 33mm on front and rear is 65mm and no zeros on bump stops. Example: hockenheim 2001. In there it drives well. I'm puzzled. Anyone else have this problem? Maybe they fix that bug in next update.

 

A great idea, but highly unlikely to pass licensing or legality tests...

 

Anyone having issues with the omega crashing the game on loading?

 

Can you clarify? In what regard would it be different to Content Manager for AC? My intention would be to throw code into github for free (i.e. not take payment). 'Mod Source' (URLs) would need to be done via manual configuration I guess. I would like to make it compatible with paid mods too (VRC mod being a fictional car). Probably define a simple JSON format that can be loaded into the app, then if anyone wants to add a JSON config they can do so. Config would define source location for mod components, image location for preview in the app, etc. Source location can be URL or local. The latter would allow easy support for VRC etc. This is theoretical though, I barely get time to play AMS2 nevermind do this. At least it is in git, others could contribute. Though I think the scope is pretty narrow
