Automobilista 2 vs Others

Hi everyone,

I'm Roberto, writing from Italy. I'm 42 years old and have been passionate about video games since I was a kid. Fun fact: for one of my birthdays, I got F1 '97 as a gift, but since I didn't have a PC with a Voodoo graphics card, I couldn't play it. I kept it in a drawer until I started working in the summer at 15. With my first earnings, I finally managed to upgrade my PC and dive into the game.

But enough about that-let's get to the point!

Let’s open up a discussion comparing Automobilista 2 with other popular racing simulators. As someone suggested in the other thread: hype train for 1.6!

How does AMS2 stack up against titles like iRacing, Assetto Corsa, RaceRoom, ACC, Rennsport, Rfactor, Le mans ultimate, Project cars, GTR or any others you’ve tried?

For me, AMS2 truly shines with its variety of content, dynamic weather system, and its enormous potential to become one of the leading sims. That said, there’s still room for improvement—particularly in areas like the physics engine and force feedback (FFB), which I hope will be addressed in future 1.6 updates.

On the other hand, I really appreciate the consistent updates and community-driven focus of RaceRoom, the laser-scanned tracks and realism of ACC, and the endless possibilities offered by Assetto Corsa’s modding scene. Rennsport, despite its lackluster VR performance, offers some of the most stunning visuals I’ve ever seen in a simulator.

To kick things off, I’ve created a special video comparing my two favorite sims: RaceRoom and AMS2. Feel free to check it out—let’s start from there! I’d love to see your videos, images, or any insights you’d like to share to compare your own favorite titles.

Do you think we can manage to have an objective conversation about this—even here on Reiza’s forum? I hope so! And yes, I know KWStudio’s forum is pretty quiet these days, so let’s start by giving Reiza a point in their favor for having such an active community here.

What’s your take? What do you think AMS2 does better than its competitors, and where do you think it still needs work? Let’s share our thoughts and have a constructive discussion!

 

You're in the wrong forum. This is for AMS 1.

 

Thanks, sorry I made a mistake, how do I delete the thread?

 

perhaps @CrimsonEminence can "just"move it ?
