Automobilista v1.4.76 RELEASED

Nice, controller is improved compared to the previous update.

 

Why would the handling change after certain updates ?
It's been happening to me on and off since i can remember.
It now happened again with v1476. The handling or ratio or smth just isn't the same as before,
it almost feels like the physics are not the same too...
The steering just isn't as natural and i don't feel connected to the car as well as before.
I created a fresh profile and the ratio and the way the car reacts to my inputs
seems to be back to normal. I'm quite sure it's not a placebo.

Odd thing. Probably comes down to my old unsupported wheel, huh ?
Or maybe because i use steering sensitivity 0% ?
Smth definitely seems to get corrupted every now and then in terms of handling/ratio...

 

maybe you are changing the realfeel.ini?

Speed Sensitivity should be 0% Steering Rate should be 100% with a wheel.

 

No, no changes to realfeel.ini. My ffb doesn't work, i have it turned off.
Steering sensitivity 100% makes the cars undriveable, the ratio is way too fast.
Steering sensitivity to 0%-5% is what works for me - it apparently affects the ratio in my case.

Need to invest in a modern wheel, so i can experience the sim as it's meant to.
I can play just fine when everything works, when the ratio is on point, though.
Right now i use steering sensitivity 0%, lock 12-14, 270 deg rotation and i can enjoy it just fine.

 

I seem to have taken a significant hit to FPS performance since this update. I have the new anti-aliasing option set to user defined, SweetFX disabled and DynaHUD disabled also as i started getting crashes with this update (i didn't before i should add).

Before this update i was running everything on full gfx detail but with reduced shadow and special fx and it was running at around 50-60fps with a grid of 22 cars. Obviously i would experience lows of 30-40fps at the first corner and in replays as is normal but now even when i'm just hot lapping by myself, game play runs at around 50-60fps where i was previously getting over 100fps and the replays tank at about 30fps.

I apologise if i have missed a new setting which needs changing to correct this problem, just thought i would make my issue known.
Keep up the great work guys, we really appreciate it.

 

Did your AA settings get upgraded though? Or was it always on user preference?

 

If you have no damping preset and then on the X axis of the controller set 0% sensitivity, then afaik there should be no difference

 

It has always been user preference. I have my Nvidia control panel set up to control AA settings.

 

Then there shouldn't be a change.

 

Agreed, I will tinker a bit more with some settings and try different car/track combos see if i notice anything different.

Cheers Alex.

 

What is this ?

 

Thanks for this update!

Where does Driving Line on/off show up in UI, or is it proactive when you're driving?
It's not the Ideal Racing Line I guess?

EDIT: I already found it in 'Difficulty'. Sorry for asking ...

Cheers

@Alex Sawczuk
Sorry for nagging you, but there's another issue.

I just wanted to compare again the new profile handling and the old one to make sure there
is indeed a difference, but now i notice the controller on the old profile has been reset -
when i go the the controller page it gives me that message ''no controller preset...'' and
requires me to setup the wheel anew.

 

Using v1.4.76b. Enabling DynHUD always make the game crash to desktop 1s after starting a race (I suppose when it is about to draw the HUD). It did not crash before. "Before" being a few beta versions back, as I did not launched the game for a while (2-3 weeks).

 

Read paragraph 2 of the release notes.

 

Also a few questions about the new Nvidia AA settings. In the Nvidia CP I have a profile for AMS.exe specifying 8x AA. On first launch of AMS Config, it defaulted to Medium+ which reads "8xQ, 2xSGSS FPS x0.8" which is as cryptic as it gets. What is Q ? What is SGSS ? Did AMS found my Nvidia CP profile for AMS.exe and associated it to Medium+ ? Why when I try to uncheck "Advanced" it talks about deleting profiles ? Which Profile ? And why does it want to delete profiles ? What does unchecking Advanced do ? really, this is totally confusing...

 

Ok but would haven been less confusing if it stated that "DynHUD can possibly now systematically crash where it did not on previous versions".

 

Iirc 8xQ = 8x MSAA (multisampling), SGSS = sparse grid supersampling.
You can use one of the presets or choose "user defined" and manually enter your settings in Nvidia CP/Inspector.

 

Did a race with this update last night using the Virgin Australia 2017 mod for the Super V8s.
I did two races of FVR Hidden Valley (Darwin), 120km race (with 1 pitstop) and a 200km race (with 2 pitstops) X2 fuel.
The cars are working far better now, in the overtaking department, no running off the track madness (you guys have nailed it!!!).
Still some problems with fuel, in both races 2 cars failed to finish as they ran out of fuel. I know they are carrying more fuel now as they went deeper into the race than previous updates. Must say one of the cars failed to finish both races with the same ran out of fuel issue, the other car that failed to finish in race 1 and race 2 were different cars.
Just wondering are these cars missing the Que to pit, do they not realize they are low on fuel??? Maybe in the future if you guys could include compulsory pit stops it wont be an issue then and it would be a cool feature, (REIZA 18 perhaps??) or a final feature in Automoblistia!
Just want to say thanks for listening to my feedback and addressing the issues i have brought up!
Cheers
