The Feature Request Thread...

Hello,

Can this please be added? Being forced to use Oculus terrible software keeps me from playing this game.

There is a github link that can apparently bypass the game forcing Oculus mode on Quest headsets but why is this needed?

All I'm asking for is that the game not force the system into Oculus mode so I can use OpenXR (VDXR wireless).

Please please please. The latest updates look amazing and I'd love to play them.

 

Hi! This post is intended for Ams2 developers, but if anyone has any more suggestions, that would be great to write them here too.
I don't know if there is a specific forum for suggestions (I've searched a bit and didn't see it).
I've tested the game a bit and these are some suggestions I'd like to see applied to the next update:

- Repair speed modifier. I really feel that while looking for realism, it would be nice to give the option to make damage repairs “a bit more arcade”, especially the serious ones. To make it something viable in a race, to be able to adjust the speed in multipliers, x2, x3 style.... would be great.

- Adjust the speed of tyre placement. Right now, most stops that don't involve repairs end up with 3-4 seconds of the car floating without tyres until the game visually places them, this is more of a bug than a suggestion.

- Let admins declare flags or FCY. This is especially needed in multiplayer races in my opinion. It is a basic feature to properly moderate races. I think it would work great in conjunction with the game's automated system, which can sometimes fail.

I'm sure right now the dev team is focused on other priorities and bugs, but I think these suggestions are “relatively easy” to incorporate into the game and would make it look a hell of a lot better.

 

I understand wanting features to be natively implemented by the devs, and don't want to take that away from you. I do, however, suggest you try the bypass method. It's a couple files you need to drag and drop into your folder.

Plenty of us are enjoying the game using VDXR already, hopefully one day it's native. Don't miss out in the meantime though!

 

Guys from Reiza, please add a little DLC or two (or three) in each update. We want Porsche Cup Gen 2, GT4 Gen 2, more IndyCar and F1, and new tracks - even if you do not have a license, make your fantasy tracks, like in Gran Turismo! AMS2 is the best racing game ever and we want everything in it! More oval tracks (even fantasy), NASCAR (even fantasy), every racing series - North and South America, European (new DTM, BTCC e.t.c,), Asian series (Formula, Super GT, Makao e.t.c.) -

 

I agree to a point, but maybe it’s better to say that you want it instead of we. I don’t think it’s a good idea to talk for people

 

If i wanted fantasy tracks , i would go play Assetto Corsa with some mods…

In other words i dont want fantasy tracks in AMS2…

 

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, however I do find it to be an important request. Could we please get an extra time multiplier, preferably X3? X2 is a bit too long (24h race will take 12 hours), while X5/X4 means the shorter races will become too short. X3 is the perfect sweet spot; the longer races are still long while the shorter races aren't too short. Many thanks in advance!

 

100% agree

 

This is super pedantic and not a priority, but can the marshals at Mosport be switched to have white clothing? Our club wears white as standard

 

Will we ever get an update to cart 3d model of Lola 98-00, nose at front should be a bit more narrow shape and rear wing is quite wrong modeled in game for both road and oval versions
for example
In game: IRL:

 

Indeed, Lola used a much more sharper and flatter nose
1998 car



2000 car:



The AMS 2 Lola has a too plump and round and too big nose, it's more like a Reynard
AMS car:



A more snappy nose will make the car more sexy

 

exactly, and you showed on pictures also how different was rear wing on 2000 car compared to 98' car

 

Well, my two cents would be just visuals, sorry.
As someone might've already mention it, volumetric clouds would be greatly appreciated.
Aaand vehicle self-reflections, too. You know, even basic screen-space reflections would do just fine, no need to raytrace those.
Because once you notice the parts like rear wing and rear mirrors hanging on the car body without any reflection to 'ground' them into the car, you just can't unsee this kinda thing, it just haunts you forever. In some games (like, say, Hot Pursuit 2010) it doesn't stick out that much because, well, HP2010 doesn't strive for photorealistic visuals, really. But the track racers do suffer badly from it.
(At least, that's how I feel about it)

 

Hi, can a extra filter or 2 get added on the multiplayer screen, to hide passworded servers, never was really a issue but now LFM is in the game the list can get confusing with so many password servers

 

Native TrackIR that is distinct from VR mode, if it's possible.

The current situation is fine if you only use TrackIR on your gaming rig .. or if you only use VR.

But it's much less than ideal for someone who sometimes uses one or the other, or uses VR on their rig, but not for AMS2.

 

Add Road Atlanta, Road America, VIR, Sebring, Indy, and Daytona to that list. (and Barber, AMP, Sonoma, COTA, Roebling, CMP, and all of the other NA tracks lol).

Probably a good place to mention that marshals are not showing up on Sebring and the roof of the corner station at Road Atlanta turn 7 should be purple.

 

My Concept for a cleaner main menu design that still fits minimalism and modernism's aesthetics. (Apologies for the tone of the last post )

Updated V2

 

I've been looking at the classic Formula 1 season in game and I've come up with what I think are the cars that would really help to flesh out the seasons. Some seasons are already pretty spot on but some are missing fairly iconic cars (you can't really have 1990 without the Ferrari 641 for example). Also in some seasons, there are configuration of cars missing (engine sizes for example).

I realise some cars are more important than others and some car configurations are hardly essential but these car just some ideas for inspiration. I've used Wikipedia, f1technical.net, f1.fandom.com & motorsportmagazine.com to get the finer details (especially in the early years where lots of variations of cars were raced) Cars in non-bold are already in game. Cars in bold I think are needed and cars in grey are non essential but nice to have:

Formula Vintage Gen 1 (1967)

Model 1 V8
Model 2 V12 (Eagle-Weslake T1G)

Lotus 49 (probably one of the most important F1 cars of all time and the C version is already in Gen2)
Brabham BT24 (World Championship winner)

Honda RA300 (Race winner that year, with the 'spaghetti' exhausts)
Cooper Maserati T81 (Race winner that year, has a distinctive nose/front air intake)
Ferrari 312/67 (I'm probably just going to put the of that year Ferrari for most seasons
BRM P115 (The only ever H16 engine, has a distinctive nose/front air intake)

Gap = 2 Years

Formula Vintage Gen 2 (1969)
