Automobilista 2 April 2023 Development Update

In order to help this thread get back on track, let's abuse you being on these forums currently and try to get answers on a couple of questions of the upcoming physics revisions

Can you answer whether these also will affect the ability to slide (especially) historic cars around corners? Right now, with most of these, you can enter a continuous drift around the corner and countersteer them around. I know that to a point, drivers always want to kick the rear out, but the way it is currently it feels too much on the generous side, and when you wrote that there would be less forgiveness beyond peak slip angles, I hoped this would be "dialed in" a bit as well.

Also, I have noticed a tendency for excessive turning angles (turning into quick corners with 180 degrees wheel rotation or even more) being beneficial in some cars, or at least not punished. Is this something that will be adressed with the more direct steering?

For reference, I tried the F-Inter yesterday, where steering like this absolutely doesn't work - you just heat up front tires and collect understeer - but then again this is a formula car with lots of downforce and might not be a good predictor for something like the M1 Procar.

Are these things you can answer or is this currently not predictable?

 

You are fundamentally misunderstanding what he is saying. His point is not that an opinion itself is misinformation, but the opinion is BASED on misinformation, and voicing that opinion, is inadvertently spreading misinformation. The things he's talking about aren't someone's opinion, they're fundamentally, factually wrong, and shared under the guise of being an opinion.

 

As a palette cleanser for recent discussion...

 

Thanks for the reply, Renato.

So, onto another subject, could we expect some UI fixes in the next updates? There's some pesky bugs that have been for months in the sim, particularly the Quick Setup menu being crammed down instead of properly spaced out in the window size.

Also, the control navigation on the multi-class selection grid doesn't work as intended (I can move sideways, but not up and down).

There mighty be some other stuff that I don't remember (mostly regards to the Custom Championship mode not working properly with gamepads).

 

Gear ratio arrows don't always work on the first click, but the sound plays, so if you are not paying full attention to the number you will think you changed the ratio, but you didn't.

The lack of a plot/graphic and/or the rF2 style of -1/+1 is quite a bit annoying. Smaller issue, like many many other.

 

just need me zolder, zandvoort and portimao and ill never ask you for nothing more. oh and more gt3 and dtm cars.

 

So to keep things going in the right direction I've been thinking.


With the "carcass behaving "confused" and inconsistently" I'm wondering if that is the reason why the AI have better turn in on corner entry, better lateral grip mid corner and better tracktion out of corners compaired to the player's tires which can get confused.


I say this because I've raced against the AI in AMS2 a whole lot and I see this all the time. With the AI's tires using the pMotor tire model and not the STM they don't get confused.


Again I'm only wondering.

 

Maybe try the Formula Inter and see

 

Can you show us a blue and yellow curb in a corner named after a famous German car manufacturer from Stuttgart please? That will help distract people?

 

Or a corner in France named after a certain tyre manufacturer

 

I've always considered Barcelona a great track for racing. Most people I know of dislike it but I think it's a skill issue.
I was pleasantly caught off guard by the retro rookie formula. I expect I shall be driving it for quite some time!
Already was a fan of the Sigma P2 prototype so I am incredibly excited to hop into the cockpit of its P1 sister.
Although I think AMS2 has reached a point in which it is very drivable as well as very enjoyable , I am happy to see the dev team always pushing the accuracy of the simulation to the next level , especially the tires. Because if you think about it , the tires ARE the simulation.
Thank you
Wish you the best , and we'll be here to support you.

 

Is it possible that for the May update we will get specific details regarding any MP enhancements, even if they aren't coming until June? I know that one or 2 sentences in the update caught a lot of eyes.

 

The layout was changed in 1999 and the first race the FIA GT Championship had here was in 2000 on the new layout (not with the cars we have in AMS2 however), so things aren't too conclusive for one or the other layout here.

 

P.s. PLEASE FIX THE F REIZA TIRES.

 

the BMW 2002 would be impossible to drive if it wasnt for the "generous" counter steering, that thing went more sideways around the Ring then i hoped

 

A few months back it was said "No ETA" for a fix on this pit strategy bug (that fix being the removal of the "Recommended" tire change option), but i would hope that by the time the next big update rolls around this can be finally addressed. For people who were not here 3 months ago when i made this video, here it is again just in case.

 

Fair enough; by the way, your channel's most recent AMS2 videos were posted on March 11, and January 11....

 

So you mean we can look forward to another one in 10 days on May 11th? That is fantastic news
