Automobilista 2 V1.4.6.1 Officially Released - Now Updated to V1.4.6.4

ACC and rF2 are on opposite ends of the spectrum imo in terms of FFB. ACC gives too little information for my liking but that was done intentionally. rF2 gives too much road detail and just feels like noise. AMS2 is the true king of FFB imo because of the ability to customize. I probably have 20 custom files saved and each one of them feels distinctly different. I ended up combining a couple different files to make one that I prefer which feels a lot like a subdued rF2 FFB. No other current sim can come close to what AMS2 can do with FFB even if the defaults are not the greatest.

 

rF2 ffb requires more friction / damping / slew rate than most people are willing to apply. It's the best ffb available (imo) in sim racing today. I wouldn't mind if it provided a bit more detail actually, as it's pretty easy to tame it down using the settings mentioned above.

ACC ffb is . . . just meh, okay. The thing that really ruins ACC for me is the way motion effects come through on my system, better off just turning motion off completely. In any case, I just don't enjoy playing ACC.

In rF2, I have a hard time stopping in order to get enough sleep.

 

Its easy to ajust rF2 ffb and make it more noisy and i personally do like that it gaves me extra information

I'll give some custom FFB for AMS 2 a try and experiment a bit i tried one that was amazing in some cars but removed some informations like bumps that were existing in the vanilla AMS 2 ffb and i tried tweaking it but i only managed to ruin the file lol

will try some new things thought

 

Its a shame a DD its so expensive here in Brazil

I want one, badly but thanks to our ultra protectionist import laws a moza bundle cost 6x the price of a g29, and the g-pro cost 10x the price of a g29 at the moment
completely unviable for me to get one at the moment, hopefully in the future my financial situation improves

 

Try mine out.

I just have a hard time getting rF2 started... Never had a game crash so often

 

will give it a shot

 

Delete the shaders, it might solve the problem

 

True, it's all subjective and each sim suits some cars better than others. AC1 felt almost perfect with non-aero cars, but a bit numb with high downforce cars. Where AC lacks, AMS2 excels with aero dependent cars, letting you feel more detail before a tire fully loses grip.

I still occasionally find cars in AMS2 that have PC2's "death snap" where it wants to get stuck in self oscillating pattern of oversteer. The C8 street car does this. The Vaughn Gittin JR Mustang in PC2 was one of the worst offenders of this quirk, though some of that was a result of the car's spring rates and dampers being completely the opposite of what it should've been "front to rear." Overall, I find that AMS2 cars feel much more natural when catching oversteer than anything in PC2.

 

That explain why i enjoy street cars more than race cars in AC1

well i only use that game to cruise in japanese highways anyways

 

This weekend for Nords then chaps

 

I feel like it is difficult to talk about "the" AMS2 FFB, as custom FFB can change everything in every area and every player has his own preference. There might be people who think Default, Default+ or a paticular custom FFB completely suck while others really enjoy it. It can really transform the whole driving experience in AMS2 while in other sims you are somewhat stuck with the Default and 5 or so sliders.

Not everyone knows about custom FFB or which files are popular or which specific area it focuses on, might be really nice to have some sort of ingame Workshop thing for FFB files where users can rate files and you can see what is popular or what is new.
Probably not feasible for the near future but would still be very helpful to remove the barrier to go the forum and search for custom FFB files.

 

Hype is on

again

 

So mid of May then?

Just kidding, reaaaally looking forward to this one

 

Woot! Woot! Finally can start my 1969 F1 season, had put it on hold since the track was set for release 2 months ago. Those photos look very, very good!

 

Aaaaaaaa I was just thinking today about this having seasonal foliage too because AMS 2 is awesome AAAAA

 

Here's the images for anyone who doesn't want to visit Elon's troll farm.
Boy, do they look AMAZING.
