    I hope this doesn't sound petty, but "we" as in we racers and forum member should accept a little of of our own joy in this announcement.

    Don't get me wrong. Reiza fully deserves the reward. Their hard work makes our enjoyment possible. What I'm saying is that we users played a role in this achievement. I don't think this takes anything away from Renato etal. In fact, I think it is the opposite. It is most improved game because Renato found a way to listen to us better than other developers. Frankly, I have never been involved with any kind of software where the CEO is so intimately involved in community input. I love Renato giving extra insight or challenging opinions that differ from his. I think the beta testing program was another brilliant move. Looks like it speeds things up a lot.

    Also though we should pat ourselves on the back a little for just sticking with a sim that was almost there, but not quite what we want. We, enough us, I guess, kept the faith (and kept buying DLCs).

    Cheers to all of us and a big one for Renato! Long live AMS2!

    Definitely after the Le Mans update and afterwards, the experience for me has really improved again, but this time by a larger margin. Rarely a software development team brings me so many times smiles and fun, and sense of respect. I really like the communication approach too.

    A lot has been already said, but seems that Straight4 partnership and the beta team increasing with very talented people is starting to bring already more positive fruits than before, just my impression.

    During these early months, seeing the positive results of such hard work and dedication and refinement, I thought by myself many times "the wait for new content and new features was definitely worth the wait".

    Rarely I went on a racing title like next to 2700hrs and not being bored at all :)

    Cheers guys, excited again to see what's next!

    Now one of my only problems with AMS2 is how long it takes me decide on a car/track combo these days. Oh woe is me!

    This may help you narrow down the choices a bit:
    Too many options! Pairing only 1 unique track per vehicle class
    (I see that I need to update it to include the Le Mans content, will hopefully get to that soon.)

    Completely out of any topics above...
    But just "WOW".
    Thank you guys for letting us have such a simulating platform.
    Unparalleled (against other commercially available titles) with vr and motion in terms of feeling, realism, fidelity. (at least on the tin-top cars which I only drive).
    Thank you!

    It feels like the suspension is way too stiff. Jumps about alot and the front wheels lift off the ground quite alot at bumpy tracks. Also on some long corners starts oscillating up and down. I do still like it though.

    Speaking of Porsche, that 75 Year Porsche anniversary bridge I did not spot in any other simulator at Le Mans:cool:

    The problem is its yet another gorgeous Porsche livery, with only 4 livery slots for the 963, how can you possibly decide which 4 to use

    Yeah, more livery slots per car would be nice, also for league racing

    My CrewChief sound is much too quiet since one of the last updates. I can’t almost hear what the spotter is saying although I didn’t change anything in CrewChief (audio 100%) or in AMS2 audio settings. Anyone else has this problem or knows a solution?

    Go to windows audio settings, reduce the volume of AMS2 and increase the CrewChief to levels that work well :)

    Thank you. Will try. Didn’t know that Windows has app specific audio settings?! I always only set volume for audio devices like speakers or headphones but not for apps. Where do I find those?

    So true, I cant decide wich ones I want, currently I have the 2 Penske, Roxy and JDC, and nobody did the IMSA Proton and the WEC Proton they showed today, it would be impossible to chose, I already hate to keep the Jota out. I wonder if reiza will ever find a way to raise the liveries limit.

    there are 3 LMDh with 12 liveries in total.
    Far away from this ominous 36 liveries per class rule

    Maybe the target is 9 LMDh
    There could be, its really a big texture memory problem, using 4k liveries for player and other cars.
    Back in the pCARS2 days, they used 2k for the player only and 1k textures for all the other cars on track. In memory 1k uses just 1/16 of the space than 4k.

    My guess is that they are playing safe for now and we'll end up with lets say 6 cars in the class, and then Reiza could add more liveries spots accordingly.
