Automobilista - EA v0.9.6 RELEASED; Now up to v0.9.67

The trucks are great fun! Nice work Reiza.

Don't suppose there's any progress on the floating cars in replays issue?

Thanks!

 

I think you guys should do this, its a copy from RD forums:

"I love ams, so please don't take it as some reductive whining, but I was always dissapointed at how sports cars are released for sims with all the hard-to-find data and yet the devs don't bother to write a page of bullet points about the systems available in car, how they are modelled in game and the way real life competition is organised. Not a problem for something like f1, but when you deal with historic or niche racing series like this one, getting proper info can be difficult. It's annoying when you want to do a bit of 'role play' and organise a quick championship."

 

Where is the spectator mode on this new build? I only found a way to disable/activate it via Multiplayer.ini

 

In relation to the idea posted of some specification data being provided with cars here is something from an upcoming raceroom release.

KTM X-Bow RR coming to RaceRoom Racing Experience

You get the idea.

 

Can you provide more detail on this? How big is the penalty, is it different for each aid, do you have more weight added per aid turned on, and which aids have the penalty?

While it's clear that SC, TC, and ABS can help performance, using auto shifting is a performance disadvantage because you're not using downshifting to help slow the car down, and you're often not in the ideal gear in certain situations (you want it to hold the gear but it upshifts). And is there a penalty for using Auto Clutch, Auto Blip, and Auto Lift? Also, using Steering Help and Braking Help provide no performance advantage.

 

When I turn on the ABS/TC while in car am I using game or car assist (in case of the F V10 and Mini)?

 

OK, but to be really, reeelly clear on this...

Let's say I'm driving the F-V10, which has electronic TC in the garage menu.

In the garage menu, the electronic aids are OFF.

I'm in the car and I hit the F8 key to enable the game TC aid.

1. Does TC work identically when enabled using the F8 game aid vs enabling TC in the garage menu?

2. Is there a penalty added when enabling TC using the F8 game aid (instead of via the garage menu)?

 

Interesting. Then we will also have technical and mechanical information for each car, especially the gear system?

 

Just did a round trip at Mendig. Place is huge. Took me 4:30 at 80kmh driving along the inner side of the fence. Just the kind of playground you need to unwind, carelessly enjoy the great physics and really appreciate all these overpowered machines. Feels like letting a wild beast loose into the wild, haha.

The sense of freedom that comes with it is something new as well. Feels great to be able to go anywhere you want. This will be a fantastic addition once everything is opened up and the unregulated, wild countryside roads are accessible as well.

Thanks guys.

p.s.: Montana feels livelier and more dynamic (i see you applied some changes, it felt a bit ''meh'' before to me, but the improvement is noticeable now). Road cutting system adjustments are also noticeably improved, it's moving along well, so props for this as well.

 

Same thing happened after this update so gotta report: After the last 2 updates I had to do a integrity check in the server (remote, dedi tool) and it reports one AMS file always fail to update. If you don't do the integrity check Reiza content gives hdv mismatch (didn't check if same happens with mods).
No idea if other people had the same issue.

 

@Renato
About driving aids penalties : if I drive for example a Marcas car (offline, fuel usage off, tyre wear off) and I use all the aids, does my car will weight more then AI cars ? Or this penalties are only for online races ?

Thanks
Luca.

 

Seria interessante se nós tivessemos informações sobre quais ajudas são ou não nativas em cada carro. É dificil saber isso pesquisando no google.

Google translate: It would be interesting if we had information about which aids are not native in each car. It's hard to know this by searching on google.

 

Hmm sorry but I think the current penalty system is ridiculous, I can cope with 4 cuts and you get a penaly thats fair enough but cmon once you have served that penalty all you do is 1 more cut and you get the same penalty again, that's just silly I'm my opinion. Once you serve your penalty the thing should reset back to 4 more cuts before you get penalised again , please change this it is way too harsh for fun competitive racing.

 

Getting better and better, thank you.

 

Thanks for this option for Single-player mode, Renato and Reiza team.
