Featured Automobilista 2 V1.6.8 & Lamborghini Dream Pack PT2 RELEASED - Now Updated to V1.6.8.1

Theoretically, all cars in AMS2 could have their .crd and other associated files edited to create “one-car model-per-class” categories. Any takers?

 

I agree with you. With TC1 the rear does step out and as you go higher TC the rear stops being aggressive, but as a result I lost time to my own delta because of engine cuts.

I would want to test it, but would low TC affect tire wear over full stint? Would that be realistic or within possibility? I would hope that it does. Ok, if you do 25-35 min race, it shouldn't be a major factor, but over full stint or even double stint? It would counter the idea of "why would I ever drive higher TC if I am losing time that way"? It counters meta setup issue and give more depth to the game. But again thats more 60min+, but driving low TC for 25 min race and quali is fine imo. So does sliding rear around and wheelspin affect tire wear and grip over 60+ min stint in real life?

 

I'm not sure doing TC 0 or very low is that great for race stint driving. On AMS2, you usually want to go throttle early quite a bit and having higher TC helps to make it stable and safe, especially on cars with more power. Most of those paid setups I have seen (GT3, LMP2, LMDh) had decent amount of TC for the race setups, even in the "esport" setup versions. Only in the qualifying version the setups were lower on the TC (can't remember seeing 0 ever though).

I rather be safer and more confident with throttle use (+not overheat my tires as easily) on race length. Usually confidence gives me better average lap times. TT and qualifying situation is of course different.

 

I was suggesting TC=0 to get a feel for the car. That way, you can determine what effect the normal amount of TC is having on handling and whether it is responsible for anything you don't like.

You shouldn't need it on a dry track, but of course any racer interested in winning will use whatever advantage they can get. If all the opponents are going to use it...

 

2005 GT1 Lambo has no engine sound after the hotfix.

 

I thought I was the only one, was about to dig our my old sound card to see if that fixed it, glad I didn't!

 

No worries, we still love you all

So I did some more GT3 tests and decided to delete my previous post and give an update. Based on different recommendations here I tried out multiple things. Have in mind my issues (heavy understeer, way too safe rearend) were just regarding GT3s, I had no problems with other classes since the update. So here's a list of stuff I want to mention as an update on this:

• Throw away your Custom FFB files. While before I always had great experiences with Danielkarts file and am very thankful to all FFB file creators, it seems like they totally wash away your feedback now. Or even worse give you false feedback, like keeping your wheel in turn in heavy while you actually already lost frontend grip.
• I already tried Default+ yesterday and today too, but to me it just doesn't sit right. How others explained it here as it delivers more information than just what an actual steering in a car would do might be the thing that I dislike about to. (for more than just actual car input I got my bassshakers)
• So based on that explanation I finally tried Default and adjusting my drive setup on it, and it turns out this is incredible! Mid corner you can literally feel in steering the exact moment your frontgrip fades, which makes your steering light. It even got me back to using zig zags to find the perfect spot where car grips, in the motion on the steering you really feel the grip with the stiffness. I instantly nailed down my issue with understeering in GT3s I had since the patch, compared to the previous version I think you don't need to steer nearly as much in the GT3s as you have to now. And if you turn in too much the car goes into understeer
• For rearends the comment that TC values might be it was indeed correct. I usally ran TCS 4 before and now TCS 1 pretty much feels like I drove before. If I think about it it actually is a good thing since I often heard issues that people thought TCS just doesn't work right in GT3s since you still could spin out your rear on default TCS 6 when going too hard. So I just might have to play around with different TCS values which one suits me best again now.
• So with Default FFB, adjust drive setup and adjusted TCS, the GT3s finally feel perfect. And I really mean that. With the upgraded FFB they feel much more alive than ever before. Every action of the vehicle feels comprehensible and manageable/controllable, exactly how it should be.

TLDR: Don't use Custom FFB files, play around with the Default and Default+ and if you're experienced driving GT3s you can surely tune down TCS

 

Hey guys, I found a bug with the in-car dashboard for the BMW M4 GT3, the gen2 GT3s. Whenever the tire pressure gets to 1.89 or 1.99 the last 9 gets out of position towards the right of the dash. Did not happen with any other combination of number, it looks like is only when 89 or 99 shows up.

So, did I miss something.... no TAA that I can see in the menus... delayed?

 

Automobilista 2 September 2025 Development Update

 

Hello, I have yet to test the new update but I noticed in the changelogs that it is adjusting AI behavior under blue flags. What does this mean exactly?

 

IO

I haven't noticed anything unusual on the GT3 compared to before, at least the problems you mention. I always use the usual custom FFB and I like the default and default+ ones much better. For completeness, I have a 12nm DD.
