Automobilista 2 V1.5 Officially RELEASED - Now updated to V1.5.0.5

Loving the period-correct pit crew! I haven’t done a pit stop yet, to see if it’s a one-man clone, or multiple randoms yet though.

 

Oh yes. Took me a good while working on the setup to dial out MOST of the understeer while keeping the rear stable. For brakes--I played around with front bump and springs, but opted to lower the overall brake strength to deal with the fronts trying to lock. I got it to a point where there was a long progression towards locking up, giving me some time to feather off the brake. It's good

 

Spa 22 is good example of AI being slow in some corners. Beginning of second sector about first 2-3 (Les Combes) corners AI is very slow even on 120 difficulty. I can pass them easily in there but then come corners where AI thrive. That fast left hander (Pouhon)... AI needs some defending maneuvers and they hesitate to overtake sometimes.

 

I had a go with the Nissan GT3 at Monza tonight and could spin it on exit of turn 2 with Tc on 6. I really had the rear softened as well to make it drivable. It is the first car I have tried outside the beta and the first of the updated cars I haven't really liked.

 

I turned it to "Always" last night and never heard anything. But I never went back in to see if it had reset. I've had some settings reset back to default such as grid position.

 

guys, can anyone point me directions on where I can find a better Custom ffb for the G29? the one I used before the update feels a bit "outdated"

 

In Audio, you have to turn up the volume for pit radio or you will not hear the spotter.

 

Also it only works in a race. Not in practice or quali but only during a race

 

There's an apposite thread

Logitech G29/G920/G27/G25 FFB Thread?

 

So are your videos still usable?

 

I don't post here much because I always seem to get my head bitten off, but I've had my first go at AMS2 in ages, and wow, what a difference!

I just did two races against the AI at the modern Kyalami, one the the 911 GT3 and the other in the 911 GT3 Cup and they were really fun. You can finally feel what the car's doing, the walking speed spin has gone, and you get a nice bit of lift-off oversteer (I know, Tom doesn't like that term!), so you can get around the penultimate corner with just a lift.

In the past, I've done this, not enjoyed it, got bored within half an hour and dropped it again, but it feels more like a car and I had great fun with it just now, so well done Reiza for getting on top of the problems.

 

I was in a race but I haven't checked what the volume level is for pit radio as suggested by @dryheat94 but I'll try that out. Thanks.

 

I believe the default setting is at 0. They should probably change that.

 

Thank you! This custom FFB file works really great. I took the "detailed" version and tweaked it to become a mix between "detailed" and "smooth".

 

That's what we like to hear... And due to the tragedy of my fancy DD wheel giving the ghost, and sadly sitting in some packing material, awaiting shipping, I now had the opportunity to find out how it al works with my emergency backup; the trusty t300! As expected it's not the immersive experience and ultra-detail afforded by a DD. But my goodness have these cars come a long way.... I'm in the "process" of revisiting literally everything and going down the list. Imo, Heavy Messing, as we have it right here should be the default. After an hour or so adjusting back to the t300, it actually feels great! grip limits, back-ends contemplating leaving the house... It all comes together. Some standouts for me were the Super V8, GT1's, GTE(especially the Corvette) and seat-of-pants stuff like the Caterhams. If it can feel this immersive(granted, I'm 100% VR now for all things sim) on a t300, that's just impressive. Can't wait for my DD woes to be over, but this will absolutely work for the time being. I was a bit sad disconnecting my base and all earlier today. Big smiles now with the 1.5 and Heavy Messing.

 

Thanks, I watched your videos about such, but it was so long time ago, that I didn't remember all the details anymore.

Anyway, went and tested this method with that one car that probably is exception to the rule... F-Ultimate gen2. It seems the middle temp is always higher on the fronts, even if you would lower front pressures to minimum. Also the inner and outer had similar values, outside the outer temp getting hotter than inner if I dropped the pressures to minimum (middle was still higher than both).I think also the camper was pretty much at maximum, so getting the middle heat up more than out wasn't an option with the camper setting.

ps. not many FWD cars in AMS2
