    Less rolling resistance I guess if they've made them smoother

    Not sure there were any cars that had too much engine inertia...possibly the Lotus 23? Most cars with issues were on the opposite end of the spectrum. The change has radically improved them, though there may be some still in need of the tweak (e.g., Ginetta G40 Cup).

    They influence power losses and wheels rotational inertia (if you remember it was one of the properties that were affecting diff performances until significant changes were made some time ago)

    Still may receive volume curve vs turbine spinning tweaks, we've been back and forth internally, it's pitch varies with track altitude (this is fed from physics directly) - as it has to spin faster to produce requested pressure with less dense air, making it's sound more prominent on higher altitude tracks.

    Was not aware of that, just tried curitiba again and there its still pretty loud but guess that is a high altidude track then.
    Very nice feature then but is a bit loud for me.

    The new replay cameras in Monza 1991 are really nice. :)

    From helmet cam I don't hear the turbo like that? Probably sounds better in your video than i hear.

    Edit, after reading on it seems it may be the track I was trying it at and an early sound development, will have to test some more.

    Nice video Paul! I think drainage rates are simulated but the specific mechanics Im not sure about. It gets complicated fast with time compression etc I guess. The McLaren 720S was one of my big issues and it feels very very different now and in a good way. By the way, I thought you'd like to know that your previous video actually compelled me to re-install AMS2 after I had pretty much given up on it, and Im so glad I did as its so much better! I'll try your suggestion of the agression setting (its a pity theres no formal description of exactly what mechanics that influences) and hopefully that will improve my experience even more. At time stamp 20:54 is an example of the issues that still need to be improved (ai spearing the side of another car on corner approach) but hopefully those issues will become rarer. Its frustrating when you are on the receiving end though. All the best and keep them coming :)

    Minor hotfix live adding a few more corrections to the latest v1.2.4.3 update:

    • Monza: Updated reverb zones
    • Fixed minor LOD issues at Kansai & Donington Park
    • BMW 2002: Updated sounds; Fixed player car chase cam broken sounds; Fixed cockpit wiper animation; Fixed license plate glow; Added livery overrides
    • Stock cruze 2021: Updated livery & menu previews
    WRT to water drainage, it is indeed accelerated where actual drain materials are placed around the track - this is why you´ll see less puddles form in modern Grade A tracks relative to local tracks or historical ones :)

    Wow! Thanks so much mate! Yes I've found (especially when running 200% damage) that the aggression slider is very useful for tayloring the A.I.s driving style to suit, If im driving cars like the Copa Classicws id probably raise it quite a bit because they are more robust and slower so you can realistically get away with a bit more aggression/contact without too much risk of such serious damage you have to pit or retire, much like how drivers approach the BTCC.

    I must say, I am absoloutely over the moon the video inspired you to give AMS2 another go and its turned out to be worth it for you, if i can do one thing with my little videos it is inspiring folks to get the most out of these wonderful sims we all enjoy so much! Cheers!

    Wow, thats pretty amzing to know (the water drainage), thanks v much for explaining that.
    Again, lighting fast patching, I did notice the outside cam sound was a bit strange. Looking forward to wipers and hearing the new reverb @ Monza! Cheers & Bravo!
