Automobilista 2 November 2023 Development Update

New podcast episode from autosport 'tech marvels of the 1993 f1 season'. Might be interesting re the new content.

I'm really missing a pessimistic fig (what's the name of it?)

 

I don't understand this new version of Barcelona. To use it, I have to buy the new Classic Tracks DLC AND the Barcelona DLC or just one of those?

I ask the same about the RallyX tracks for Spa, Hockenreimring, Barcelona and Nurburgring plus the Adrenaline Pack.

Abração!

 

New video on the update

 

I cant believe he couldn't be bothered with the active suspension. send me an early update and i'll make a better video. i have about 100 viewers lol

 

Ok…..this is getting annoying.

 

Can I get one too? I'm a super famous streamer and need to give you guys some PR
Not linking the channel, because everyone knows me (promise)

 

Just one dlc. Though, Id just buy the season pack on steam right now at black friday prices.

 

Hi Reza . Really looking forward to the update although I have been spending plenty of time on the current version and loving it .
Just wondering if you could give me a heads up as to when you are planning to release the update?
Thing is I've got one floating holiday to book before Christmas and if it was planned to be released this weekend I could book that day for Monday, we have to give two days notice .
Thanks
Love from Andrew

 

That 604 video is quite stuttery. Hope its just because he is recording. I wish these youtubers would follow the AI for a while so you can see them battling each other for overtakes. So far, of the two videos posted, I havent seen any real AI battles where actual over taking took place. Maybe they are just surprised that the AI doesn't wipe them out when they do their own overtaking.

Interesting that he says he hasn't really been playing AMS2 of late, just dabbling in it from time to time.

Hopefully will be able to see for myself soon(ish).

 

I'm pretty sure I read here in the forum that buying Adrenaline pt1 gets you all RX layouts regardless of whether or not you own any of the premium tracks. I'm guessing the same applies to Historic Track Pack 2, you get Barcelona 1991 even if you don't own Barcelona premium track.

 

FWIW, the final update for Automobilista (v1.5.3) posted approximately three and-a-half years after the title launched. The next update for AMS2 (V1.5.3) will post approximately three and-a-half years after that title launched … yet it feels like things are just getting started. Say what you like, but Reiza is nothing if not persistent.

 

604 (Mike) has done a lot of AMS 2 content over the years and knows the sim pretty well, for what it's worth

 

I know. I've been here since day 1. That's why I am "somewhat" surprised by his comment as to not playing it much these days as he seemed to be one of its biggest fans.

 

I also have seen them behaving very weirdly when getting touched. Like they go sidewards like in some scripted way where in real life they would lose control. Like the AI cars don't have proper physics. I still think that is a big problem in AMS2 and it makes the game less believable. I also think it makes it much harder for the developers to get things right.
Also, it also seems like there isn't really fighting going on between the player and the AI. The cars don't seem to defend and when you overtake them it seems like they don't fight back in any way.
Still a very long way to go I think.

 

It's the end of Motorsport Games

 

No one in their right mind would invest in them now or give them loans. They were a basket case from the very beginning

 

You'd be surprised. In America , there's along list of mind numbingly dumb company investment opportunities people threw billions of dollars at. Due diligence is for amateurs apparently.

 

Dunno, I just spent 15 laps trying to get by the AI equivalent of Senna at Silverstone 1991 with AI at 120% (Might need a tweak, I am not that fast) and max aggression, he also would not budge in Copse when I tried to recreate Max vs Lewis As soon as I screwed up a tiny bit he flew past me again until I finally put some distance between us, but that's only because I was in the FW14B and pulled a gap on the straight with its early DRS equivalent that no other 1992 car had.

Is it perfect? No, far from it, and depending on the class and many other variables, things do not always work out yet, quite strange and funny things can and will happen at times (like AI Benettons tandem drifting through Stowe, Markell Fenstermacher and Marty Trundle were having some fun, looked awesome though) however, I've done quite a few AI races now and in general if I do not put the AI into impossible situations myself by giving them nowhere to go or trying to overtake in pretty impossible places, they have given me relatively little grief and it's been largely a good experience.

But as with anything, some people will like it, some people will not, way of the world.

 

Season pass won’t cover this one I’m afraid
