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

I know it's been a while, but did anyone ever manage to figure out how to drive the Brabham BT52?

 

Alright... A bit out of character here but as a last resort(Google was of no help this time), I remember some time ago I was fiddling with setups and I swear I came across at least one car/class with a geared diff.(and ratio settings...)
Would love to play around with its settings but can't find it for the life of me?!
sometimes not knowing is this guy's worst enemy...

Thanks a bunch! Just the kinda car I skip over way too much anyway.

 

Right, it's incredible how to get world champion with this car
I don't know, on the one hand I hate this car on the other it's interesting. It's a bitch and unexpected at each time.
When driving this car I lower turbo setting and try not to go on throttle to early or not when still steering. The same with the brakes, don't brake and steer. As soon as I found my way to handle this car I increase turbo to get more power and speed on straight and not to be the slowest.
What I would love if REIZA flips the painting for one of the cars like Brabham did in real:
blue-white

white-blue

 

You will get the two different paintings in the next 1983 F1 skinpack update

 

Seems this has not been solved, yet... Same here, a bit disappointed, hopefully a temp-bug

 

Sounds good! But only one of those tracks is actually in AMS2. And although I will never so no to more tracks, those aren't really high on my personal wishlist. Having a obscure track like Venray would be kinda funny and cool.

 

Note to Reiza: the Oulton Park Classic layout could also be added to the Formula Vintage preset. There were a lot of non-championship races held back there.

 

The car is easier to drive now, since Reiza fixed the rear suspension in 1.6

 

There are skins for the 1983 season on Overtake.gg that allow you to choose the either BT52 skin.

Just to check, you have to select 'Add ghost' from one of the 3 slots on the lower left and then click the ghost you want to add (or one of the red options on the left at the top, like you can pick 'best in session' if you want your own ghost to chase)

Adding ghosts has been working fine for me. I assumed the OP was reporting some issue with the UI changes (I use a mouse so I don't know if it works well from wheel - I note the rest of the UI definitely has issues trying to get to every element on the screen using wheel buttons)

 

I would love to but I don't know if Reiza will make it happen. The Belo Horizonte and El Pinar circuits are missing from the 2024 calendar. About IMSA, Detroit street circuit is missing from the 2024 IMSA calendar. For what reasons, I don't know. So it's hard to know what is possible or not...

 

I know that there are experienced pilots here, tell me if the rain got better or worse in 1.6, my friends think that it got worse and it is impossible to drive with it

 

Impossible to drive? Not at all, depends mostly on the car, but I think the track progression got worse. It feels like no matter the case the rain doesn't accomulate enough to create puddles, and it feels less dinamic than before. AFAIK rain is heavily work in progress atm since they changed how it used to work before and it probably needs some dialing in still

 

Its definitely not worse. I always use real weather so ive ran quite a few practices and races with different types of cars in rain. Id say its pretty good and believable at this point. If they cant drive in it they are trying to go too fast on a wet track. Ive even ran a practice on slicks on a wet track with no rain and it was fine.

 

I did! Just lower the AI difficulty to the lowest possible, until you can keep up with them while barely touching the throttle

Now seriously though, I found this car actually got a lot easier to drive with 1.6. The rear end is a lot more predictable, it's actually the brakes that have been my biggest struggle with it recently, they seem easier to lock up now.

 

As far as I know, AMS2 is still the officially licensed Stock Car Pro sim, so I'm guessing the 2025 cars (or SUVs, at it seems to be the case with the new Stock Car Pro format) are a possibility. I'd love to get the new tracks, but Reiza was focused on endurance racing in 2024.

 

With the 1.6 update I feel that maybe it would be great to have the option to also change brake duct size for each wheel instead of only front rear. This will help to proper heat tires on asymmetric circuits (ex Interlagos, Road Atlanta, etc).
