Automobilista 2 May 2024 Development Update - The Road to V1.6 Pt1

2 Porsche and 1 Alpine...

 

Oh yes...there is no crowd!

 

we know it's Sebring! That was obvious!

 

Don't make it easy for them!

 

Not me

 

I can feel the bumps.

 

I just want Knockhill to be added and I’ll be happy !!!

 

which cars you mean? i've never heard of the floating thing? You mean sometimes tires keep too much grip or something else?

 

I spot Italian and Japanese flags

 

In my (very limited) experience I had a feeling that whenever I was driving a tintop it felt like a boat on the track. I have quite a lot of experience on AC and ACC and this feeling of "floating" was really new to me. This was not the case in openwheel cars. Also the tires being very forgiving of sliding was quite hard to get used to.

 

These are for the winning manufacturer of each year at Sebring. In 1989 Nissan won. Hence the Japanese flag.

 

In AMS2 the slip angle is huge, as soon as you brake and turn the rear of the car starts sliding sideways a lot, there is not a clear peak of grip. Your car starts sliding and then you have to countersteer like if you were driving a rally car.
Trail braking in AMS2 is difficult because it is hard to tell where the grip limit is.

This makes the driving feel a bit unnatural. In some cases like the GT3s and LMDhs the driving is much easier. Smaller cars with no downforce like Caterhams or Formula Trainers dont feel tight and reactive, they feel gooey.

 

Just wait for AMS3... ehhrr I mean AMS 1.6 update! Because it is time to ATLEAST revise the whole idea about AMS2 soon

 

No need to get used to it much longer Physics-wise I think we're definitely headed towards a big step. Whether you or others with this complaint will think it's perfect is another question, but anyone who likes the current public release Stock Car 2024 (which is very, very far from what I'd consider optimal especially in terms of on throttle behaviour), even if you only like it a little more, is in for a treat. Even the best cars in 1.5.6. would in my opinion be the ugly ducklings of 1.6.

 

Gosh people, 7 pages worth of posts overnight!
Get off the Internet and go do some racing or something

Guys, is that Florida's greatest racing circuit, the Miami International Autodrome?!?! /s

 

I realllyyy hope 1.6 comes before the 19th (despite it being unlikely) As I will be traveling all the way Indianapolis for the IMSA race for the whole weekend. Oh well! Still racing!

 

It makes me sad that CTDP never got to release their 1994 mod. Previews had me looking forward to it. I also recall they were doing Okayama/Aida, but now I don't remember if it was a 1994 version or a more modern one.

 

We could probably organize a nice online race to be fair
