    After my latest experience, I thought I must write this post because it can have a great impact on others' experience with v1.6.

    So after trying out v1.6, I could definitely feel the difference in the physics, and overall, it was a good change compared to v1.5 but I was a bit underwhelmed. I expected more, especially if I compared my experience with other users' raving posts about v1.6. Furthermore, the driving feeling wasn't consistent. I mean, once I drove a certain car, and it felt great, then next day the same car felt quite different. Finally, I drove the McLaren 720 and it was so terrible that I had to stop after 2-3 minutes. I thought that this mustn't be right.

    So I decided to uninstall the game, and I've deleted all traces of it, even from the registry. A quick reinstall and re-setup solved everything!!!! Now, I can truly appreciate the work the devs put into this version. All cars feel stable, natural, I know what happens every moment, even if I mess things up. The Same McLaren 720 feels like a completely different car, it now much more in line with other sims. So if any one strugles with 1.6 I highly recommend a fresh install.

    Though just deleting the vehicle setup folders is probably sufficient. Maybe the other config files as well (in "My Documents/Automobilista 2" folder) for good measure if you want stock settings for everything.
    And checking game file integrity in Steam as well.
    But these 10's of GBs of data for tracks and cars have nothing to do with physics, thus no need to redownload everything...

    Time trial WR are getting too unrealistic on some tracks with the Formula 1 gen 2 2024, any plan to readjust the grip levels of the tracks to match irl lap times as close as possible?

    remember that we can probably go faster since we do not have to think about some stuff which you need to IRL

    Buonasera, hanno risolto il grosso problema che nelle gare online disabilitava sia le vetture GT3 che i prototipi ibridi, TC e ABS?

    good evening, have they solved the big problem, which in online races was disabled both in GT3 cars and hybrid prototypes, TC and ABS?

    Amazing, thank you team! I was having issues with the triple screen setup and am glad to see it’s fixed.

    Can the team take a pass at the F-Junior AI soon as well? My friends and I do a weekly league with these cars on historical tracks, and the AI improve anywhere from 4-10 seconds between qualifying and race pace on many of these tracks.

    See their behavior on Spielberg ‘77 for the best example of this, their pace is ~8 seconds faster in the race vs quali and makes it very hard to get interesting and competitive AI racing in. Both online and offline

    There was a very extensive overhaul in the way the driving aid application is taking place:
    It's still good to have some field testing going but i'm carefully optimistic that it should be crushed!

    one question: is there a chance that the Hypercars hood camera will be put back to where it was in the 1.5? because in the 1.6 it was placed inside the car which for someone like me who uses it prevents me from using them I know I'm in the minority that uses this camera but I feel like there are other cameras inside the car that could have been used to be placed as that camera follows photos of how this camera was in 1.5 vs 1.6

    Nice update.
    Did the BoP fix the overpowered Lambo and Audi in GT3 classes? The lambo is killing it all over the leaderboards

    Oh good i hope so. I was doing probably my fifth LFM race in GT3g2 and the last race i did i had no ABS or TC. Needless to say, my rating took a massive hit and i have not bothered with LFM since but i may have to try it again.

    Hi all, just to break a lance here (my native language, more probably "stand up for so/sth"). Scrolling a bit down, I see the "just-race" banner on the right side, ... clicked on it, and wow, so fast, so clean, not this interacting advertisement, cooky messages and so on.
    Will definitely give this a try. LFM might be more known, and hence, the reputation system is more widely accepted, however, I feel just-race doesn't get the attention it probably truly deserves due to the "Platzhirsch" LFM.
    Let's see, I have two weeks off, family, Christmas etc., but I try to use the just-race service in a fair manner, ... going to report on how it went :)
    Anyway, this sim is evolving all the time; never seen something like this, keep it up Reiza!

    Suzuka for example, Barcelona is already in the 1.10. at the moment only Silverstone is spot On. Don't know if it's a track grip issue or the car is roo quick, but for some reasons on Silverstone is pretty valid
