Automobilista 2 V1.5.3.2, F-HiTech & Historical Track Pack Pt2 RELEASED - Now Updated to V1.5.3.5

Anyone else having auto-shifts disabled in certain MP lobbies? I've had it happen 2-3 times now, as well as the TC-ABS bug. It feels like a MP specific issue given I haven't had either of them occur in SP races.

Edit: The gears issue could be a result of the "force manual gears" setting.

 

Any word on career mode? It's the only feature I want that's missing at this point.

 

Yes indeed. But the Merc CLK in AMS2 has both the sequential shifter on the side and the paddles on the wheel. So I thought it had both modes

 

IIRC if authentic assists aren’t enabled in the MP server, you need to enable them using the global assist buttons and not the car-specific assists

 

Formula HiTech Gen 2 Model 3:
DRS switches off if you do not constantly have your finger on the button.
In other cars, you just press the button once and then once again in order to switch it off.

 

That's how it's meant to be. One of the models is hold to activate and the rest like an on/off switch.

 

No, it is not.
In all models of these new cars, DRS means to have the active suspension working.
You gotta switch it on by pressing the button once. Works with all cars, except of model 3 of Gen 2. There, you gotta have your finger on the button all the time.

 

Thar is because model 3 is hold to activate. It is different to the others by design

 

Any plans that we will be able to adjust the points system in custom championships on our own?
Would love to have the old F1-system, when only the Top 6 drivers gained points.

 

And multiclass scoring system

 

Dear Reiza!

A quick question regarding the Ghost car's implementation in other parts of this Sim: I had asked for a Ghost car option for Project Cars 2 (SMS's Forum) to be added in Test day, to which i did not get any response, neither have i seen it here. Also seen other members post a similar question. Personally, i still play both Sims and as we all know, the time trials are no more in PC2, so it would be great to have a Ghost car in Test day with the ability of course to set time, day, weather which is not do-able in TT. Ghost car option in Test day please!

 

Maybe I am going crazy but I am pretty sure these were selectable some time before with the 10 and 9 points for wins being available. Just checked and they were not there however, some scoring options also have no text to it, seems to be a bug.

 

There have never been historical F1 scoring options in AMS2.

 

After having done a couple of races since update to 1.5.3.x, I must say that the AI is much more aware of the player's position on track than before. When being overtaken on the inside before slow corners, they do not try to force their way through from the outside like they did in earlier builds.

When having contact, they do not feel as heavy as tanks anymore, too. But this can be just my imagination.

 

Time to add. Also watched out for this .

Those 80s and 90s F1 are so insane, can't stop driving. Also started watching videos of that era again. It has been such a great time.

 

A very rare and special case of where the race team was experimenting with both. Apparently they went with the shift lever as it was more reliable mechanically (back in the early days of paddles...no one would do that today!!).

 

I just checked, the preset championships have those scorings. And I am still pretty sure they were selectable for custom championships before as well.

 

They had the paddles for Le Mans and the shifting lever for the FIA GT1 championship. So it wasn't because of reliability, but because of weight.

Quote from Marc Webber: "For weight reasons we have abandoned the paddle shift we used at Le Mans. It saves us 5 to 6 kgs. And the advantage was so small it was better to have the weight. And it gives us blisters"
