Automobilista 2 V0.9.6.0 RELEASED, now updated to v0.9.6.1

Excellent work Reiza, especially under these crazy pandemic circumstances! Thank you.

I find myself just going into tesing to try a few things, then just can't stop doing laps over and over! Sayng 1 more lap, 1 more lap.

 

Thankyou Reiza for your tireless improvements.

 

Renato on the monthly update you mentioned a Basil Stock car update? you didn't specify if it was more cars or just info about licensing. Is that still going?

 

Great news that we now have working AI strength scale!

First AI test--SuperV8. I had been testing those just prior to this update. At 100%, they went from being too fast to almost perfect. Perhaps a tad slow, but they are now right in the ballpark (relative to our old AMS 1 scale).

F-Vintage -- looking forward to updates for it. The AI seems still much too fast @ 100%. And the physics and set-up changes are welcome. My impression is that the G1 car is still a bit too ponderous to drive, even given the bias ply tires. More importantly, as I have read on this forum a number of times, why is the G1M1 noticeably less agile than the G1M2? It should be the reverse. The M2 is already borderline too ponderous in my humble opinion; the M1 is definitely so.

Ponderous is relative. I am suggesting the low-speed under-steer seems excessive, even when practising proper mid/rear-engine techniques of never coast through corners and always keep your foot in it to at least some extent. I am pretty sure those front tires had a bit more bite considering how little weight they were holding up and given that they can bite at higher speeds when much more is being asked of them given the complete lack of down force.

 

Very nice and unexpected, good job and thanks very much Reiza

 

Thank you so much for this unexpected surprise! I was honestly a little sad that introduction of the revised AI slider logic wasn't planned for addition to the EA version prior to 1.0, but I'm glad you decided to let all of us non-Beta people try it out as well. I'll definitely give it a spin ASAP, but probably not any earlier than tomorrow.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

 

Thank you very much, great work!!

The only thing missing and that is preventing me from enjoying 100% is the excessive movement of the cockpit in many cars, I even stop playing because I feel dizzy, something that had never happened to me. No other simulator that I usually play has that annoying "tremor", AMS1 did not have it either. It does not happen in all cars, for example, the Super V8 is perfect, I can spend hours hanging around with it. However, Stock Car, Sprint Car and Sigma that "shaking" is over the top (I haven't tested all cars).

Otherwise, say that I am delighted. I really like the current content and everything that remains to come. I wish you all the luck in the world Reiza !!

 

Try adjusting the camera configuration for High Speed Shake etc

 

Hi, thanks, but that doesn't solve the problem I'm talking about. I've been changing those settings from day one

 

@Mike Ruby The only "hack" that help "too intense" camera movement (especially on open wheels on old bumpy tracks) is that I made the suspension really long and soft... It helps smoothing the motion/camera but I can't say it's great for driving.. I too have all my camera settings to off or low.. and played with all sort of settings... Reiza needs to provide more control over the camera movement.

 

I completely agree with you. For me it is one of the most important aspects to improve, since it is impossible for me to concentrate with so much movement.

It is also an almost constant periodic movement up-down, fast and abrupt. No other simulator I know of has that movement, and I've compared it to ASM1, Raceroom, iRacing, AC, and ACC.

Another thing that produces this movement, and it is only my personal opinion, is that in the cars that it occurs, the sensation of movement and speed is not so smooth, I cannot explain why, but it happens to me. For example, the ARC Camaro does not have that annoying vibration, and everything seems much more fluid and natural.

Greetings to all, and enjoy the weekend!

 

Reiza, do you read the things that we post here?

I know you probably have bigger fish to fry, but you don't spell "TYRE PRESSURE" as "TYRE COMPOUND". It's been mentioned a number of times, and is pretty easy to fix, trust me!

 

Do the AI sliders work with the gamepad/wheel now? Before I could only change them with the mouse.

 

Great stuff yet again, loving how it's feeling.

@Renato Simioni Just a quick question as we (OTL) are eager to get leagues running on AMS2, what's the status of the director/broadcaster suite? I assume it'll be much like it was in PCars2, which is fine by me! But yeah, any rough ETA on that feature so we can stream leagues with great presentation?

Can't wait to get our community loving AMS2 as much as we do

 

Fixing the partly missing or wrong car descriptions and icons doesn't sound like a big deal to me either, but still lots of mistakes...

One car really bugs me, because it's so wrong: The Ultima Road. This car doesn't brake, even it has disc-brakes as large as the rim and it should brake really great, because it's holding many records for accelerating and decelerating. Also this understeer of a cruise ship doesn't make sense with the weight of a VW Polo and nothing in the setup to make it properly turn in. Also the steering-angles needed to corner this car seems more like a bus even with full steering lock. Please make this car real and not the AMS1-joke

And one general thing: Steel-brakediscs should heat up very fast. According to David Parel it takes as much as one corner to get them working. He criticized it in ACC, after it took like half a lap to get them working and few days later Kunos fixed it

 

Agreed on formula vintage, it's a pig to drive and also one of the cars I want to drive the most. Most of the other cars are feeling absolutely sublime now though. Way too much fun!

 

I love you reiza
Now a slowbee like me can finally start following and even competing with the AI

 

IMO the Vintage cars are awesome now and by far the best in sim-racing. If you don't like the default like me, tweak the differential. It's still a bit loose on default, so increase the clutch-plates in the differential settings, 10 is fine and fiddle with the degrees to make them work like you want. It's counter-intuitive since more degrees means less locking. I usually want more locking on power, so less degrees and less on coasting, so more degrees.

 

I did a quick test with Stock Cars in Interlagos and it looks much better than before, with the more natural FFB (with G27) and also with the strength of the opponents better calibrated in the percentage difficulties. This simulator promises !!
