ofcourse this is a totally unbiased post....*cough cough*

 

True, but still it shouldn't be a second quicker, a couple of tenths acceptable

 

Will be the latest 3 DLC‘s on sale on steam?

 

1,10 is reasonable for Barcelona in perfect conditions (conditions can easily make a difference of 2-3 seconds in the dry, especially if you have a dusty track and gusts of wind in real life that will end up in a very slow circuit). The 1,10 will most likely be achieved next year. Silverstone is most likely too slow if it's only as fast as real life in perfect conditions.

Suzuka the "goal time" should be around 1,27's, but I guess that track is difficult to achieve perfect times for, partly because the version in the game is not really an accurate representation of the track (some cambering is not right, as well as some of the kerbs), and partly because it has very low grip asphalt in real life, which is somewhat hard to replicate without ending up with a slidefest.

It's not always the car.

 

were AI pit strategies during endurance races looked at on this pass? I didn't see it in the release notes. The issue is the AI (at least with the GT1) is very sensitive to worn tires and wants to change them at 80% of all pit stops - when fuel and tires don't happen at the same time, it adds a lot of time to their pit stop and gives the player a big advantage.

With x2 fuel, if tire wear is turned off, they won't change tires (phew)
x2 fuel, x1 tire, they'll wait to pit around the time fuel is needed, but change tires most of the time
x2 fuel, x2 tire and higher - they'll pit as soon as any tire wear happens, even if they still have half a tank left.

 

Steam Winter Sale just crushed Steam. It's a mess and LFM just posted about numerous game disconnects.

 

True, but this time I wanted to make sure that I start from zero.

 

@CrimsonEminence
Reiza, please check the AI speed, on the Velopark track with the 2019-2024 Stock cars, they are very slow in sectors 1 and 2, I have already compared it with the Barcelona track, and they lose almost two seconds per lap! AI 112%, High aggression

 

All the times with Gen2 GT3 cars on leaderboards should be wiped out. And I sadly somehow still notice the Lambo being still more powerful, even if I made the AIs with that car weaker. The Mclaren is still quite cursed!

 

You mean death?

 

Both are great services for different reasons and different "flavours!"

 

Feedback very welcome on any issues you find (I am one of the devs of JustRace).

We cater for different audiences to some extent. LFM is focused on the individual driver and ranking up etc. and you are 100% right it has a great following.

JustRace focuses on communities who want to run events, often with the same (or similar) group of drivers who have raced with each other before - The events are usually open to new people (in fact communities usually hope to recruit new faces from people browsing events looking for a race) and these new faces will hopefully become regular racers with them.

I stress that we both (LFM and JustRace) work together to help each other with issues we encounter and both work with Reiza to help improve the AMS2 MP experience.

 

Ok, just checked steam since it seems to run fine again & they are not. Since some of us (including me) can‘t buy them with the 15% off bundles because we bought everything seperatly, this would have been nice. They don‘t have to be 50% off, but 10-15% would have been amazing.
So I will wait another year, no problem.

 

Well death, plank wear and that the setup needs to also be a good setup for racing a full gp. We can make a crazy setup which makes the engine explode after one lap, but if you get the WR in that one lap it’s fine

 

Will there be a discount on these DLCs ?

 

They just released them....

 

Setup: Engine cooling, Brake cooling, Unlimited tyres amount, ability to perfect tyre temps, unbreakable car parts, perfectly the same car parts.
Driving: Unlimited amount of laps, unlimited amount of cars and parts for it, always exact same conditions (which doesnt happen IRL), ability to crash the car million times just to get one time right, ability to race against ghost/compare perfect telemetry, ability to take others ghosts and setups.
Simulation: Ability to instantly reset a lap, zero fear of death, zero or super low in comparison physical limitations, zero wind, zero debris, zero external factors, configuration that doesnt exist IRL.

If thats "a couple of tenths" then im a saint. IMO devs are doing a good job and we only need a couple of fixes here and there, the sim is super enjoyable already, times are believable, I hope this patch will solidify current state of things.

 

The new DLC isn't discounted in the bundles just the other stuff.

 

I'm aware of that and surely the simulation for obvious reason is not 100% and will never be for the reason you mentioned but still being a second clear what's achievable irl, is a bit too much. Surely Time Trial mode is bit of arcadeish since it doesn't take in consideration many factors or a track day. Probably Reiza should think of a Time Trial PRO mode where you have set condition to meet, you have to do one outlap to warm up the tyres and a trial lap, so you can't run indefinitely, the tyres should be getting consumed the more laps you do, fuel must be taken in consideration, you can't deactivate the damages and so on. Still must be taken in consideration that certain tracks respect much more irl lap times while others don't so definitely something can be done
