Automobilista 2 V1.3.4.0 RELEASED!

Nah, the sound is like that of nail scratching a chock board. I don't know...it doesn't sound realistic to me. And why is every car making the same braking sound though? It doesn't make sense.

 

I'm glad brake squeal is added, its actually been there for quite some time, i just would like not all cars to have it and maybe some cars could get reduced squeal as the brakes come to temp.
I really want more audio to come, more and better dirt pickup, chassis and rattles, better curb sounds and more. Brake squeal is a beginning and i'm glad we have it.

 

It would be nice if we could cycle through the different Strategies without the need to open the ICM menu
- or -
The old ICM menu wasn't perfect but i could make it work with Crew-Chief macros, Can you make the ICM menu open in a default state so I can use macros again ?

 

well it should really only be certain cars with race style brakes etc, so if it’s every car then that not ideal.
And generally this sound should reduce once brakes are up to temp.
But it’s not far from the sound you would expect from cold race brakes .

 

For those wanting to use cc macros to interact with the ICM, I'll have a look tonight to see if there's anything I can do. Because it now remembers where it was last time it was opened it's going to be very hard to keep cc in sync with the menu. Macros might still work if they always put the menu cursor back to its original position after doing their work.

 

Where- is -the -Hypocrite -Emoji-Please-?

 

That list of "simple" fixes looks like about 2 man years of work to me, as a non-game developer of 30 years experience.

 

also think so but it s easy for you

 

That is exactly the problem, It would be nice the ICM menu always opens in a default state,
If you want to control this with the macro itself, you also have to click back to the "macro-default" position with any manual adjustments, It would be nice if the game arranged that.

 

Does the menu cursor wrap (up/down or left/right) if you keep pressing the navigation buttons, or does it reach the end and stop?

 

Up/Down wraps.
Strategy/Tyres/Pitstop wrap.
The others stop at each end.

 

Best thing beside the F-USA Gen.1 cars is definitely the VR improvement.
Adjusting the mirrors is the thing I have waited for.
Racing in VR gets more and more perfect with AMS2 now !
And of course... the Hype Train is great to view in VR (Video Link below)
Need. More. Videos! C'mon guys!

 

Great Reiza !!! Thanks

 

It wraps where i want it to stop, If it stops I could the macro find a start-point by adding the maximal up/down or left/right steps ever needed to go back to a "macro-default" position

 

If it wraps then I think cc macros will.be broken and remain broken untill something is added to shared memory to allow cc to know what the menu state is, sorry guys

 

The ICM is definitely so much easier and quicker to use now. It now makes me want to do some racing that would require pitstops and changes to strategies if something happens (e.g. unexpected rain, don't repair small damage, or changing minds to actually risk no tyre swap and just add fuel). I found doing that too much of hassle with the old ICM, where I would often mess up a corner as it took so long to fiddle with it on a straight.

It is also great to finally be able to adjust the mirrors in VR. I tried it on the P3 Roco last night and I was no longer terrified of being taken out by a car that I couldn't see behind me, since I had a clear view. It would be cool if there was an option in the graphics settings to allow the user to have their own car reflected in the side mirrors, since we can now adjust them. I don't know if that would be quite difficult to implement and also graphically taxing though (iirc it takes a bit of performance when enabling that option in CM for AC for example).

 

Thanks Reiza - don't feel let down at all by this patch. Gen 1 is brilliant. I want to do more than 10 laps in a race - still begging really begging for a save button now. I just did a 10 lapper after qual and practice and had a blast after I got my wretched Rift S to work properly.

Really loving this patch.

 

I've been trying all gens, and gens 1 and 2 sound great, gen 3 apparently din't make the cut and still sound like previous to the update, no turbo, etc.

 

.... and again a lot of updates and improvements (thanks for that) ,
and again not a single improvement of the multiplayer mode
... just sad and frustrating
