Automobilista 2 V1.6.6, Nürburgring 2025 & Endurance Pack PT3 RELEASED - V1.6.6.3 Live Now

So, like real life. There is no way you would hear regular suspension noise in a noisy race car other than the "severe" moments like bottom-out or hitting large curbs/bumps.

 

I hope this to mean the r8 lms gt4's right rear tire-fire issues are a thing of the past.
Seems to suffer from it on every track.
I know should have filed a report.
Tried various diff settings, even extreme ones.
No matter the track either, right rear would just show up 15-20-25°C higher than any other.
Love the car still, that and the Alpine are like a drug to me lately.

 

Thank you for the quick fix. Before that it was literally unplayable.

I'm going to stay off the forum for a while and just enjoy driving. AMS2 is in a great state and after 25 years of gaming I'm having more fun with it than with any other sim/game before.

Keep safe guys & see you for the next content-hype-cycle...

 

What do you mean, we aren't subject to the same CRASH BANG WALLOP suspension noises like ACC, every time we hit any raised kerb with any speed???

Literally unplayable.

 

Do a small hotfix was release today. Seem to have a 118 mb but there is no changelog

 

Same here.

 

I've been waiting on two fixes I've not had a chance to test yet.

1 - the Merc GT1 GTR being far too sensitive to tire wear, making them pit far more often than the rest of the GT1 field - the other GT1s will properly use all their fuel and limit their number of pitstops - the Mercs pits at practically twice the rate. mind you, their pace doesn't drop off before they choose to pit - their pace is fine.

2 - LeMans only - cars tend to run out of fuel - misjudging when to pit - they think they can make it one more lap but can't - if a FCY comes out, sometimes they won't pit during the yellow, will wait for the green, then run out of fuel before making it back around. I've only ever seen this at LeMans - all other tracks are fine.

Does anyone if these have been looked at yet?

 

Hopefully the fuel consumption itself gets looked at again, it is still the worst in the class and way too high...

 

Yep, the Merc and the McLaren are simply uncompetitive at the moment in almost any race with more than one stop due to how much fuel they need in comparison to the others.

 

Part of the issue is that the Merc is too weak on fuel and the Porsche is just waaaaayy to strong on fuel, the Nissan and McLaren were both somewhat in the middle in my testing and that's broadly historically accuarate as well, the Merc and Porsche are not.

 

I don't know exactly what you've changed, but I feel like I'm playing a new game with incredible gameplay. Honestly, well done! I've never had as much fun as I have since the latest updates. When the Endurance Pack 3 DLC was released, the cars were uncontrollable, especially the Ligier and Alpine, which were very sluggish, but since the last two updates, it's like a whole new game. Well done, you guys are the best!

 

Good to hear. Flying back home from holidays today and it is nice to have some ams2 updates to play!

 

I immediately found the Alpine and the Ligjer beautiful to drive.

 

Ai are a lot better behaved for me now, though they still punt me off corners on anything less than max aggression, VR performance and visuals are a lot better.
All I wish for now is fastest laps to be saved in test day and the long awaited career mode.

 

Dear Reiza, i notice some things how engine sound difffer in span from classics gen 3 to Hitech gen 2, for some cars are used sample that are prior to 92' when they changed microphone position onboard, so cars like renault's V10 sound more quitter than honda's V10 because sample for honda engine is used before 92 and engine sound for renault is used after. You can see for example how would honda sound in video even if it's not driven at full RPM.

 

TV on-board videos are not the source for sound files for the game.

 

Can you then tell me what is the source for sound files ? Because, to me, it does sound like it's taken from onboard videos from those years. The other explanation would be that engines are recorded live, which might not be possible due to quality difference between the sounds..maybe for some cars only.
in game
honda v10 gen 3 classic sound like in onboards from Senna in 89-90
renualt v10 gen 3 sound like from 93 onboards
there is a quality pitch difference on tv onboards from those years and the same thing is presented in game, coincidence ?

 

I hope there is some coincidence between what we can hear with our own ears when the TV coverage is of the actual cars, albeit low-quality recordings, and the game is trying to represent reality. Sound files are sourced from a wide variety of recordings, depending on whether there is direct access to the vehicles, good recordings already exist, etc. TV coverage recordings are likely the worst-possible quality and do not contain multi-position mics. They would be used only if there was literally no other source on the planet.

 

There is a plenty onboard videos without TV coverage (f1 archive) and i am talking about those also, for few we can all go on youtube to compare it and see what was i talking about. Also, the main problem is quality difference between in-game sounds. What other source would you have except the real recording then onboard videos ? I have some feeling like you dodging the right answer, but it's ok, i get it now...

 

There is no right answer. You referred to the TV coverage microphone position in your first message and I wanted you to know that TV coverage is the lowest quality and would never be used except as a last resort.

The game needs internal and external soundscapes, and for external there is clearly a mix of engine and exhaust sounds, so multiple microphone locations are needed at a minimum. Some cars are readily available for live, proper multi-point recordings. Others are not available, so any good quality sources must be utilized. I am sure in some cases nothing suitable is available, so synthesizing something new (from alternate sources) is required.

You can report a sound issue in the appropriate thread. We know the quality of some vehicles is better than others. I just wanted you to know that the TV coverage is not the source, but that since it is a recording of the actual car, it shouldn't be surprising if there is a resemblance in the game.
