Automobilista 2 V1.6, IMSA Track Pack, Endurance Pt2 & Lamborghini DLCs RELEASED (V1.6.3.5 Live Now)

After the update, the ARC Camaro car does not start at the green light. I tested on 3 circuits (Interlagos GP, Gateway Oval and Curitubia).
*Single race
*Standing start
*Automatic transmission
*Clear weather

 

The cars actually have a steeper drop off in grip IMO

 

Had a race at lemans in my GT3 custom championship tonight driving the Corvette and I believe there was way too much turn in with the car. It was in low DF but I dropped the rear DF by two clicks and reduced rear Arb by 5 clicks, and rear suspension settings by a couple as well, I also increased rear toe by 1. This would usually dull turn in for me but it did not make any difference. Anyone else drive this car since the update?

 

If you didnt like the front of the car why didnt you start with adjustments there?

 

I usually start at the rear to soften it as it usually gives some push when cornering, that usually does the job for me but it did not seem to make any difference this time.

 

Funny, I was just trying things with setup with the GT3gen2 Porsche and wrote in the beta-threads about not noticing much if impact of the changes of the suspesion settings on how the car drives.

EDIT: I was testing some extreme setup changes (min/maxing stuff)
EDIT 2: according to telemetry, the changes do have impact to values (like ride height, rake etc.), I just cannot notice it that much on how the car behaves

 

Back when i was involved with real racing on a local level i got to work with some guys had been doing it forever and they told me always start with the end you dont like If you cant fix it there then adjust the other end.

 

Any chance the A.I in Daytona RC is being looked at ? they crash into the trye stack in turn 1 when trying to overtake each other, plus they are really slow in the second part of the Lemans chicane.

 

Well, it's definitely changed the car... Would have to take time tinkering with the setup but it's murdering me on corner exit now.

 

Testing the physics update and the rain. Just got reminded how gorgeous this game can be. I felt that the drop in grip is way steeper than before.

 

Any trace of "Lexus" or "Acura" in there?

 

Every time they update the AI I simulate a race because it is the best way to see the changes, in this case it was GT3 Gen2 in Interlagos with qualifying and a 50 minute race, 105 level and aggression on low, errors on Standard.
In general, the overtaking between AI and the collisions between them have improved a lot, but it still happens that the first one never gets away, it always penalizes on the straight and in curves, in 50 minutes the first position changes about 20 times, an error must occur that leaves it more than 1 second behind for the one leading to free itself. Something similar happens in the groups that form behind, the first one of the group always comes slower and they overtake each other several times, very similar to using the AI limiter in Rfactor at 1 so that the races are close and penalize the leader, which makes them very unreal. Hopefully they can improve this aspect that has been happening since day 1, the rest is very good and constantly improving.

 

Game is magical now I have vr set up properly. Absolutely amazing. I have only
1 thing that I can’t solve and don’t know best place to ask…….I race entirely single event races, I have 15x opponents and myself, I have most settings at high, I have enhanced mirrors etc on. Now the issue is when I overtake someone only sometimes can I see them in my rear view mirrors so I know where they are (sometimes they are there and sometimes not), I have 16 cars visible in menus

Does anyone have same issue and how to solve?

Apologies if posted in wrong place but as I said previously this game is unbelievably good and it’s the only thing nagging me

Thanks in advance

 

Will be nice if track details at LOW-MEDIUM don't use a lot of 3D new trees and simply don't render at all some trackside cosmetic objects. Some VR users like me will love it: more FPS for really minor visual loss.

 

Is there any significant Ai improvement?

 

I think they got some speed boost again on some tracks

To me it feels like i cant get any draft when i am behind the AI in the LMP2s on Daytona, but they fly right past me, and i cant keep up. But as soon as we get to a corner i easily get in front or catch up

 

I think MP4/8 LD is still too fast compared to other formula cars, also the time it need to reach 0-300kmp/h+ is scary (even without manual DRS). ss is from Monza, lap times differences was bigger at Hockenheim. Didn't test the Model 3 car from HiTech Gen2 tho

 

You migth be running a too much cornering focused setup, daytona is all about shedding drag and getting the power down early. Gotta make the car flat at high speed and not bottom out too much, work with the suspension, pump up the tires close the cooling vents and it will balance out, There´s also several kph to be gained by mastering the correct lines through the banked oval corners.
