Automobilista 2 September 2024 Development Update - The Road to V1.6 Pt2

I'll be checking out the Puma GTB at Cascavel in a Thunderstorm to Dry race. See how everything feels in that scenario, then it has to be some Multi-class racing

 

Use F.Ultimate G2 to check out AI overtakes of slower cars from the same model..
Then do the same in a multiclass with different HP cars to see how AI overtake..

If everything goes as I want(probably will, after that v1.6 AI video),
then I'll start developing a new app that is in my mind for quite some time..

 

Been a while since I played it, so after having a look through and new content's liveries, probably will take out one of the current GT3s to an already known track to reacquaint, test my settings and see if I can spot the difference - won't keep me away from Road Atlanta for long.

 

IMSA at Road Atlanta, 48 cars variable weather with rain at the end

 

Variable Weather is a good idea to test my VR Performance. Had luck and gained some performance with uninstalling GeForce Experience.

 

First thing I'll do is test the GT3 and LMDH cars on the new tracks. But in just 30 minutes I'll be registering for the LFM race!!!
The season does start on October 7th, so v1.6 should be out before then. In addition, LFM is adding IRacing to the site, possibly in one season.
AMS2 doesn't have much time to reveal its full potential and win the hearts of as many new players as possible...

 

Can any Beta tester tell us if the „show x Cars“ was changed to function better? I have 15 cars active but have the feeling that they randomly dissappear in front of me etc. Kills the immersion a bit.

 

LFM will by the way just do special events on iRacing. No ranked daily races.

 

I don’t think the update will be affected by that

 

Lets hope anyway

 

If we get the last part dev update by the weekend I think we could be very well downloading V1.6 in and around Oct 7th... Believe!
I'm saying this because completion has to be close now, I mean why else would we get update videos and pt2 dev update?

Is there anymore other than TtotW planned in game for engaging online play?

 

LFM, JR and racecraft

 

GT4, GT3 Gen2 and LMDh in a 1 hour race. I want to see how the AI behaves in a proper race with fast and slow classes included too.

 

Stress testing the physics first (probably driving like an absolute moron to see if the tires really do punish overdriving as promised now), then actually getting used to the new handling, then lastly seeing how the AI holds up across some combos. That and getting some time in with the new content, obviously

 

If you stress test physics more then you would dare to do in real life you always gonna find flaws. That's a big issue in simracing, there is no consequence on doing things you would never try in real life. I'm not sure what 1.6 brings, but I believe you will be disappointed every time.
I always try to drive like I would dare in real life to find out if a sim feels realistic for me or not.
There is always a way to 'break' physics of a sim, there is no way to 'break' the physics of real life...

 

Worse than this, with this setting I had 2 occasions in multiplayer where I was being lapped by a leading car which was totally invisible - I made a post about this in bug reports forum but not sure anyone saw it

 

Yeah thats really worse. Hope we will get an improvement.

 

Not being rude man but I'm already aware of those.

It would be fun to have TtotW with mixed conditions and different numbers of AI on track each week to determine racecraft and overall pace, although not sure if it's possible or anyone even wants such a thing...

 

I once had a race where an opponent was completely invisible to me, only the radar showing them.

 

I can tell you first that I have crashed the cars many times in beta 1.6, even more than I did in public version.
