Water on Windshield kinda an Immersion breaker

Totally agree, the way the water appears after its been wiped away also in the same pattern is really bothersome. I really hope the creator of the amazing AC rain in the CSP addition now working on AMS2 will bring leaps and bounds of improvements in this area.

 

That looks really great. Only the blur is very bad to me. It looks like the heating on the front window is not on. So that you get condensation on the window. But for the rest it looks great.

 

Yep the water fx could do with a major overhaul. I could just about deal with the implementation if it was applied logically across all the cars, but even 12 months in we have open wheelers / roofless cars with no rain on visors, tin tops with rain on visors, raindrops visible inside cars etc etc..

 

I think this makes it even more realistic, we just need a demister and possible failures of that and then the fogging starts

 

I feel the rain FX are the only real major graphics issue in AMS2. They are the same as in PC2 so I guess inherited from that. I really do hope Reiza give this some attention at some stage. Currently they have the dreaded PC2 worms.

 

I feel that this is more of a longer-term goal and that there are more immediate stuff that can be done to improve the game, but it would be amazing to have the rain effects that the assetto corsa csp previews have, although idk if our graphics cards would survive!

 

Shadows, you not bothered by the flickering shadows?

 

Haven't really noticed them recently, maybe just not paying attention to it. I guess I meant from the eye candy side of things

 

I play with clouds to lessen the shimmer and it makes a massive difference, really shows how nice and clean it can look. For me it's that shadow issue and then whatever it is on the back of cars at night when your headlights shine on the rear wing and diffuser, aliasing of reflections or something but it makes night driving look awful imo, then the rain issue described in this thread.

 

After doing some testing today back and forth with all the AA settings i find my current MSAA is best for my PC and visuals....The point now is to comment on the performance of rain vs dry in AMS2.

Dry running but cloudy i have 60fps no problem at about 65% GPU usage.

Now change the weather to rain and i quickly get 99% GPU usage and drop down to 35fps at the same section of Long Beach i just mentioned 65% GPU usage.
So not only does the rain look meh it performance bad also.

Maybe i will just save AMS2 for dry running and play ACC for my rain driving because that seems to run perfectly on my system with no dips at all even in the middle of the night and storm.

ACC is pretty great but i would rather spend my time in AMS2 but i do enjoy me some wet driving.

 

Those flames every 2 seconds are really annoying and totally unrealistic It looks more a Nitro Circus event, than a race. Even that type of condensation is VERY exaggerated.

 

I think AC rain looks better than ACC one (referring to windshield) specially if you consider it moves based on car direction so yeah, would be cool if Reiza could give a look at it, on the other hand I understand this isn't a priority so I can wait

 

I think the AA has improved a little recently hasn't it?

 

Maybe yeah but if I play in clear conditions I find the shadows to be very distracting.

 

Agree but the water on the screen is nice even if it does move around too much.

 

It also comes back much faster if you switch to the faster wiper speed which is quite funny when you notice it for the first time
