Automobilista 2 V1.6 Developent Update - Changelog & Release Notes

Ok thanks so much. I never knew those older F1 cars had auto shift which is kinda cool to now learn about. Appreciate it.

 

Now that we´re talking about auto shift... On Tuesday I tried some HyperCars, the Lamborghini and the McLaren Senna. To my surprise both cars were auto shifting up and down. Back to LMP2 and everything was normal again, revving up to the limiter did not make the gearbox shift. So wondering whether this is a bug or what.

 

When come Career mode

 

When it’s ready

 

Have you planned to improve the VR performance, which has been terrible since the 1.6 update, particularly in the evening or at night when the performance is awful..

Thanks

 

Worse than in 1.5? Yes. But "awful"? Absolutely not.

 

Yes I had the same in the Lambo and wondered what was going on.

 

Not a bug, the default for those cars is automatic you can change them to manual in the garage or with ICM.

 

1.6 MEDIUM/ULTRA have the same performance of 1.5 HIGH/ULTRA.

And looks much better, by the way.

 

Cars that have automatic shifting in real life also have that in the game (if you are using Authentic settings). Cars that do not (the vast majority, including the LMP2), require manual shifts.

The auto-shifting pattern can be changed in the garage settings. For example, I usually prefer manual shift in the "Hyper Cars" because we are on race tracks. If it was the open road, I'd leave it on automatic. When they were experimenting with auto-shift back in the old days of F1, it was almost always for up shifts only. The drivers still needed (and wanted) to down shift manually.

 

Another lost entry of the inexisting AMS2 manual...

Thanks Tony, you sussed out my computer abilities to a “T”. What can I say, AMS2 is fantastic, but the help on the forum is at another level! I haven’t set everything up yet, but I have got much further than before.
My one question is why does V1.6 not accept the Fanatec gear as 1.5 did?
Again, my sincere thanks to both you & Marius

 

Yes, the assumption is that if you are a gear head, you will know and appreciate all these myriad details. If not, just use default settings and accept that they are there for a reason.

 

FWIW, I encountered a couple of AI wreakfests when approaching the entrance to the Esses at VIR (Full Course) in two separate GT4 races (100 AI; Medium aggression; middle start position) in a couple of 6 lap short races. At first, the huge AI pileups made me think I was driving in R3E!

 

Le mode vr est catastrophique par rapport à la version 1.5...
Ma configuration 7800x3d, 7900xtx, ddr5 32go, pimax crystal Light.
Si je pouvais revenir en arrière je resterai en 1.5.
C'était le jeu le mieux optimisé pour la vr, après la 1.6 il est devenu plus que moyen, vraiment dégouté...

 

I have a Fanatec DD1 and from day one i have needed to use custom.

I much prefer custom anyway as i can setup my buttons exactly how i want them not start from a fanatec template

 

When selecting a car you can see it in the car info: manual h-pattern, sequential, automatic.

 

Have anyone tested F-Vintage Gen2 cars? Brabham BT26 seems pretty understeery when comparing to other cars, power understeer while others oversteers a little. Tried changing differential but no change and wing settings, again no luck. Bug or a feature..?

 

In the selecting cars screen, how do I display an alphabetical list of cars now. It seems to have been lost in 1.6 or maybe moved?
