Featured Automobilista 2 V1.6.5 RELEASED!

What has been done with the FFB is a true masterpiece. Never before has any update caused such a leap in the feeling of driving. I take my hat off and I'm going back to the game because I haven't been able to tear myself away since yesterday. Forza Reiza!

 

To add to this, for me when starting through Fanalab, it starts SteamVR, but game doesn't start. Changing the Steam startup option has no effect, same result no matter what I select.

Edit: only did this test. I start through Virtual Desktop, so not an issue for me personally.

 

Hi, there seems to be an intermittent bug with the new build whereby the car steering angle seems to drop to almost nothing and it becomes almost impossible to turn the car. It happened to me for an LFM qualifying session (F3 at hockenheim), after much confusion I restarted the game and rejoined the session, it was then fine. I learned it also occurred to at least one other driver in the same event, although his qualifying session was fine and instead he had it only for the race session.

 

Agreed. Reverted back to default+ a day or two ago, from rack_force custom ffb and I'm working my way through the list of classes that underwent tread work.
I'm more than a little impressed with the tire model now, and whereas in the past I felt there was a disconnect using default(+) ffb, it now feels magnificent.
Great sense of where the grip is as well as weight transfer and inertia.

 

I have 60GB free, I've done previous updates with less space than that without any problems. I've already cleared cache and restarted Steam, nothing works, AMS doesn't update or start.

 

The tire changes are fantastic, a lot more feel for levels of grip. Hopefully they will be refined even further to gain perfection.

I noticed that the AI still have wonky wheels when joining a server with AI. This as been a problem since game release and still no fix. As this ever been looked at? is it unfixable? It is a real immersion breaking thing, and would be a massive bonus if it were fixed.

 

The sunlight coming through inside the vent pipe on the dash is also fixed (i.e. gone) There's still some minor light coming in at some random angles, but it's no longer an issue

 

I see no one is commenting on something that surprised us this afternoon at the SD. At the start of the race, a second or two before the start, all the cars move as if the grid is shrinking, and then they slowly return to their positions. It wasn't just me, there were 22 of us, and everyone saw the same thing in three different races.

I'll try to record a video if it happens again.

Great job!

P.S.: Sorry for my English, it's from Google Translate.

 

For the guys that have said the GT3s are good now, do you still have to use the engine braking to 8 hack to stop the front of car from over rotating into corners?

 

I have a Loupe Deck Live S that i use to use to start three different sim racing games.I have buttons programed to start various programs that i use with each sim. After i updated today the one for AMS2 fails to start correctly, all the programs load just fine until it gets to the point of launching the .exe file for AMS2. I get this error. Before the update there was no problems with it working for over a year. But if start the game within steam it loads just fine. I believe something might be wrong the .exe file. The other two games i have programed buttons for rF2 and RaceRoom still work just fine.

 

I'm confused. I run world record or near world record TT pace in GT3 Gen2 and I never used this "hack".

I do admit lower engine braking (higher number) is in many cases better, but its not be all end all measure by any means. I certainly never ran 8.

 

Hi, i just did two quick races on Le Mans and Spielberg (since someone mentioned having bad fps there). I got VERY good framerates of 150-200 FPS without any stutters or hickups. I started from last position and max opponents vs the AI. On a full course yellow when everybody went to the box and all box crews were visible, the FPS dropped to 100 which makes sense.

One tip: i had some occasions where the gfx-system on Manjaro had some problems after some running time, not sure why. Then in some games i would have bad fps. A restart might help then.
