Automobilista 2 V1.6, IMSA Track Pack, Endurance Pt2 & Lamborghini DLCs RELEASED (V1.6.3.4 Live Now)

Had another race with it tonight and I think wandering is the right term for it. The car seems to keep moving left or right for a split second even though you have straightened the wheel up.

 

thx Reiza and test team. love it.

 

Hello guys. Its my first post in this Forum. Have been a silent Reader before. Now i Need some help. Do someone have an issue with accessing the Graphics&Performance Settings? Everytime i click on it, the game closes without any Errors. First day after the v1.6 Update it was fine. Now it doesnt work anymore. I already deleted the Automobilista 2 Folder in Documents. After that i reinstalled the game. Nothing helps. What can i do?

 

And the most labour-intensive/expensive to produce

 

In my opinion, most of the formula cars feel pretty much spot on, which is surprising giving these probably have the most peaky tyres of them all. The LMDh's are also nice, but indeed it feels too easy to ride on neutral steer out of corners (and also it doesn't really hurt the tyres). The GT3 are okay, but not really great imo, they emphasize all the suboptimal characteristics of the physics.

From what I've seen on onboards, neutral steer is an exception and very hard to get consistently with many cars. Usually you are turning in normally even when you are on the throttle. In AMS2 with most cars, this is very hard to replicate and not really possible without underdriving the car by around 0.5-0.7 tenths on corner exits. With a GT3, TC activates very quickly even if you are not close to the optimal amount of throttle out of a corner. To me it seems like the tyres are too eager entering a certain (small) amount of slip, and also as if said slip didn't really cost time or grip, but makes the car turn using the rear. Especially in heavier cars, this also leads to the perception that they have less weight.

This is also evident in the way traction control activates sometimes in really quick corners, and in the way GT tyres enter neutral steer even in high speed kinks in the rain.

Imo the modern race tyres should see a more immediate dropoff in grip upon sliding - however, also they should be able to hold a drift (full on countersteer). In its current state, AMS2 may even be a tiny bit too punishing especially on rear slides under braking.

I'd love it if we could at one point get to a state where AMS2 has a significantly smaller "spot" where neutral steer is possible and forces countersteer in most of these cases instead (while said countersteer actually being as easy or easier to manage than it is now). Let's see how much you guys can get out of that engine, especially the leap in 1.6 has me believe that there's still a lot to be discovered.


That said, I agree that most other sims don't even give you a chance to play with the car as much as AMS2 does - but these are not the standard after all

 

It really is amazing what Reiza have done with this update. Ive fallen in love all over again with some oldies. The Group C are an absolute joy nowand they do what I would expect them to (arm chair driver ofcourse).... and I just cannot believe how good the LMP2 are - I really hope there are no major changes there ever again because this just hit my sweet spot all in 1 single sim.

Well done all at Reiza for heads down and hard work whilst we all sat on our collective asses and moaned a lot

 

F1 cars don't flex, what are you talking about

 

He said more carcass flex...

 

LMP2s are by far the best in game, they are perfect.

Should be the benchmark

 

Are any other VR users noticing that the "Horizontal" LoD appears to be clipped quite aggressively around Sebring ?

It's most noticeable through the twisty sections of track. Right on the edge of your peripheral vision the trees, buildings and camper vans etc are just being culled from the image a bit too soon. I've seen it occasionally on other tracks in the past but it's not as noticeable. This is with pretty much everything set to ultra, I've tried changing the FoV and Camera near clip plane in VR settings but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

How noticeable it is varies from car to car depending on the cockpit, but it's one of those things that once you've seen it you keep noticing it .So if you haven't noticed it don't go looking for it !

Is there a setting or config file that can be edited to adjust this?

Thanks.

 

I never comment usually but I've followed the development of the game from the very beginning, and it's nice to see the state that the game reached with this 1.6 update.
After all the toxic behaviours we saw here, I had to say, thank you so much Reiza team ! Great work !
For the future I don't know if that would be possible and difficult to do, but it would be interesting to have the option to have more skin slots and the possibility to create our own class filters, it would allow the skinning community to do realistic fields for GTWC, WEC, ELMS and other main stream championships which reiza have no licence for.
Other than this the game is such a great experience for the endurance enthusiast I am !

 

Anybody else has the car showroom looking totally wrong with the lighting on the cars ? Even default liveries look like this.
EDIT: Issue is fixed if you increase "reflection detail" (former environment map), advice provided by CrimsonEminence

 

Thank you. I like the new UI and presets, the new cars, both free and DLC are very nice ( loving the LMP2, Corvette GT3 and Audi DTM) and the new IMSA tracks are awesome. Being a casual user, I cant comment on tire flex, or whether the moisture vortexes are scientifically accurate, but the cars feel great and I'm enjoying the new AMS2. Indy cars at Mosport.....ripping.

 

I would like to inform the 3 or 4 people who may be interested, that the 2019 Stock Car (with extra aero) is still cool and sounds amazing

 

Where can you change this?

 

Has anyone encountered the problem of FPS drops during the LFM race?

 

Modern Indycar around Road America drives fantastic. They have way more ground feel now.

I am noticing it's slightly more taxing on my VR. I'm having to reduce my headset (Pimax Crystal) resolution slightly or drop textures from high to medium to bump up fps.
