Request Title: Multiplayer Matchmaking
Description: A first party, built into the game match making mode. Something like what we have seen in the likes of Iracing to LFM to GT7 etc etc. It can be unique to AMS2 by having each season themed around a certain decade of motorsport history so 60s for one season before the next season is 70s and so on. With a mix of classic and modern circuits to match the decade and it would be a great way to travel through motorsport history. Additionally, split the matchmaking into casual and competitive as not everyone wants to be racing with everything on the line each time.

Benefits: A structured environment for people to use the unique variety of historic content AMS2 has. Provide players a reason to keep playing the game as they compete against other people to test and improve their skills. A streamlined user experience that doesn't require new people to know to go to a 3rd party service to get a structured multiplayer experience. Lays the foundation for running special events for the community.

Request Title: Multiplayer - Pitstop Options for Dedi
Description: Add options to the dedi that allows to alter the default "realistic" pitstops in terms of tyres and fuel at the same time, independently of car class.

Benefits:
More interesting endurance races as double stinting becomes more viable depending on the race and track.

 

Not the most important but „making AMS2 greater” functions:

- Assigning the on or off status of the cockpit wheel to the flat screen and VR version of the game. E.g. on monitor I never want to see one more wheel in front of me, but in VR I always need it for the immersion. It would be nice if the game loaded the assigned wheel visibility choice as it does with the different (vr and monitor) graphical settings.

I always have to face the missing wheel problem when I am already in a lobby and it is not possible to change the wheel visibilty there, I have to quit to change it. But this could also be a solution: letting the player change cockpit wheel on or off even if a race already loaded. (both single and multiplayer)

- The other wish is a bit similar to the previous one:

If someone has more steering wheel for racing (e.g. a gt style or a rounded one) it happens that he just realizes the right shape of the steering wheel after a race got loaded and he is already in the lobby. Phisically it is easy to swith the wheels but it is impossible to change the wheel preset when being in a lobby. This function should be moved so that it can be used from a lobby, too (both single and multiplayer).

 

Would it be possible to split this head movement on horizontal and vertical level?

The horizontal sway when you take corners is something I believe a lot of people call AMS 2 "slidey" it really screws your chance to see any tyre slip when you are just on the limit of grip because it already feels like you have started sliding or you can't differnate when you actually do, partially beacuse they tyres always seem to squeal.

However putting it to 0 solves this issue but then the vertical bumps makes you nauseous, I mean try driving a GT car over Long Beach and you would puke after a few laps lol.

So ideally I would like horizontal set to 0 and vertical can be 100 all that I care.
Now I have to balance the sliding feeling with feeling nauseous.

Request Title: AI and pitstops ghosting
Description: Add a option to turn off the ghosting when exiting pit lane.

Benefits: More immersion

 

Add an option for crowds in TT so it doesn’t feel dead

 

Please add brake wear and the need to change brakes in endurance races.

 

I think brake wear is there

 

I would like to see a possibility to save track/car-class specific AI parameters, like the old RF2 UI had. This would solve a lot of problems with AI being to slow/ to fast / to aggressive etc. at different tracks.

 

Would be great to have the possibility to speed up time during practice and qualifying sessions. Hopefully it can be implemented easily in the game engine.

 

Some sort of animation or even just a still image for achieving wins/podiums

 

This might seem silly - and it's certainly of low priority - but I would love to see an option to select between track attendance states for practice days (and perhaps time trial as well), i.e.: Empty (no spectators/marshals), some attendance (i.e. practice) and full attendance (qualifying/race, grandstands filled and track marshals everywhere).

 

I really hope there is a weather forecast coming in 1.6 or later.
Had a real weather wet start race at Le Mans where it started drying up so I stopped for dry tyres and by the time I exited the pits it was pouring again-race over.

 

Please a option for VR users and single players,

One thing is driving me nuts, its the ghosting in pit lane, everytime i risk a heart infarct as a AI pass through me.
are we babies that cannot behave in pit lane really ? and if that wasent inough, the ghosing is extended to the first part of the track...common Reiza, i think we are old inough to behave and go out of pit without problems, furthermore, it kills totaly the immersion !

So at this point i think it would be good to have a option "ghosting on/off " for single player and VR users.

Request Title: Custom Championship AI Deep Tuning

Description :
Add the ability to drive in ONE car (e.g. select Vintage 1 with just the BMW for us but also the AI drivers) on the tracks, we still don't have options to do that, so the racing options simple included this parameter.

Also be able to modify the number of AI cars during multiclass (Let's go back to the Vintage 1 example; in a race of 20 AI drivers, I want 7 for the Corvette and 13 for the BMW, the same, if I want to mix Vintage 1 and 2 together, I would like to have the possibility for example to put 5 mini, 3 lotus, 6 corvettes and 6 BMW)

Advantages:
The personalized championship will have a considerable amount of interest, by leaving the complete choice to the players, they will be able to recreate situations as they wish, currently I feel limited in the choice of a custom championship, it is necessary go to the maximum of the player's choice, he will be very satisfied, also note that many racing simulation games offer this option from the start.

 

I found some bugs that I don't know if they've already been reported but I'll mention them here because these bugs kind of take away from the immersion of the game.

1 - Sparks don't appear on opponents' cars apart from F1 cars and I know it's been updated recently but it still needs to be improved for them to appear more realistically, it's a nice feature that adds realism to the game.

2 - BMW M4 GT4 in third-person view there is a second seat inside the car and in first-person view there isn't one.

BMW M4 GT3 the car is very detailed but the engine compartment is just a PNG.

MetalMoro AJR GEN 1 the car models don't correspond to the type of engine they have and the engine isn't well modeled.

 

There is a bug thread for these

Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 (Read the Opening Post)

 

Choosing different point systems for each race in a custom championship. What's the point of having both the endurance and sprint V8 Supercar point systems if you can only use one of them? Also, easy way to make double points for the LeMans 24h if you want to do Endurance.

 

It would be very nice to have both the clicks and the rates show in the setup menu, not just one or the other.

 

Why?
