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

Rediscovered a 20 year old PS2 Car simulation and played a bit. When Reiza will do a part of it in the career mode next yearnit will be the best sim of all time!!

 

Correct... the PID controller must be adjusted for each system to get the desired effect (both fast and stable). There are sliders that won't violate FFB from the game and are just there to be used to get those PID parameters correctly (friction and inertia in Moza's case).
Should this be a task for the end user? No, the manufacturer should had already done that (for it's own wheels, but the sliders should be there for third party ones).

R12 NexGen 3.0 (is it still beta? I don't know...)

Yes, it much depends on the situation.
Low grip? Please, don't apply too much acceleration (steering, brake, acelerate) and the car will be fine... in a straight line... (1st Newton’s Laws of Motion)

Imola's T1 got me a few times... (I think the cars get larger when breaking there... )

 

Pink Cadillac at PLM alert!

 

I find that the wheel oscillates on the Moza if you have the in game damper at below 20, which you recommend in your custom FFB. In that case higher Natural inertia seems to reduce oscillation. However, if you have higher damping 30-50, and natural inertia on the Moza at it's lowest (100%) it won't oscillate at all, unless you increase the Natural inertia, and then it starts oscillating again (albeit much less than with very low damper values).

 

My new RTX 4070 Super arrived today.

Can 1.6 be released this weekend?

Thanks.

 

The damping mechanism obeys different equations depending on the profile (program) selected (defaults, custom).
They may, or may not, be equivelent (I don't know how Reiza does it; on other custom files, is just a matter of looking at the code).
Damping must be implemented, it's not there behind the slider as is.

 

Nope waiting for my new PC to arrive

 

A bit sad that we didn't get the update before Atlanta but will definitely recreate the race whenever it comes out.

 

You can be happy if the update comes this year

 

AMS2 includes the Ultima series.

 

There is a Games Expo in Brasil this weekend, in Sao Paulo. Can't find any info if our friends at Reiza are attending.

 

Simracing is a niche within a niche. It's probably not worth financially, but I'm just guessing here. In the end 99% of the "normal" players would try for 2 min and complain it is too hard.

 

That's why we're special...or mentally unbalanced.

 

Special, we're a bit special

 

Slightly off topic, but is anyone off to the simracing expo next week in Dortmund?

 

Well, I don't like to put us on a pedestal and say we are special. I just think that the majority of people just don't care about realism. It is what it is.

 

I'd like to. But unfortunately no.

 

I think by 'special' it's less like Kevin Estre or Max Verstappen special and more like special needs special
