The Feature Request Thread...

And Anderstorp

 

And Knockhill!

 

I would hope to get a World track pack. It would only consist of every existing race track with every historic variant that ever existed. Or am i asking for too much ?

 

Hi Reiza Team,

First of all, thank you for your continued work on Automobilista 2 – it's an amazing sim that keeps getting better with each update.

I’d like to kindly request that the AI opponent limit be increased on certain larger tracks that can realistically accommodate more cars. For example, circuits like Le Mans (24H layout), Spa-Francorchamps, and the Nürburgring Nordschleife + GP layout have the pit and grid capacity to handle 60+ or even up to 100 cars, yet currently the AI limit is much lower (often capped at 47

It would be fantastic to experience multiclass endurance races or crowded GT fields on these iconic circuits with higher AI counts – especially in single-player mode, where full grids really enhance immersion.

Would it be possible to raise these limits in a future update, at least for selected large tracks that can handle it performance-wise?

Thanks again for the great work, and keep pushing AMS2 forward!

Best regards,
Greenario

 

You to appear be new here - so I will just say that the original cap was I think 32, and it took quite a lot of effort and trial and error despite the Madness engine's limitations to achieve 48 cars. This is to say, the team have long been aware that the game allows for fewer cars than they would like, just that I imagine that the jump to e.g. 60 from 48 would be another herculean feat, as far as I can understand. There were previously mods that allowed one to add more cars but that tanked performance - the work the team has done has allowed us to get to a playable and enjoyable 48 in certain circumstances.

 

I think that would be called Targa Florio, which I'm not even sure how that would even be made to work given that the track is the outline of an island several times larger than isle of man

 

I only saw that track once as a mod for F1 Challenge 99-02. And simply loading into it took at least five minutes never mind if you had ai opponents trying to spawn in

 

Is this a limitation that can't be fixed in part due to EA/Codemasters technically owning the right's to the madness engine and prohibiting excessive modifications to the code? Or am I overthinking things? (I feel like I am overthinking this)

 

They can change however they want. It is just a technical challenge/limitation.

 

AMS2 used to have a 32 car limit. After a long time testing in beta Reiza increased the limit to 48 cars. The reason for that limit is hardware limitations. There are mods that allow for larger grids than that but they have performance issues.

 

It maybe that Reiza could increase the grids, but they would need to do further testing.

I would love to see more cars on the two big tracks, Le Mans and Nordschleife.
