    Agree. The Passat FL at Oulton Park Foster's is riotously good fun! Set all assists to Authentic or OFF, give it two laps to put some heat in the tires, then drive it like somebody else is paying for your fuel and parts.

    If you get in trouble (and you will, if you're doing it right), just steer/counter as necessary and hammer the throttle. The front wheels will pull you right out of your predicament.

    The Copa Classic Mini (117 horsepower model) is also great fun at Oulton Park Foster's.

    The absolute major issue with AMS2 AI is how their cars behave due to the big difference between their physics and the player's. That is the crucial point.

    I don't know how other sims do it, possibly also have different physics for the AI and the player, but I can assure you that visually, from the POV of the player playing the game, AMS1, AC and rF2 AI car behaviour feel much more natural/organic than AMS2 AI. If not, at least they look like they are running on the same track as the player.

    Notice I'm not talking about how the AI behaves, but how their car is racing on the track. We all know the AI is more respectful to the player in AMS2 than the rest, we know the AMS1 and AC AI are very prone to completely ignore the player, etc. However that is not what I'm talking about.

    I think Renato has a massive challenge with the tools he has rightnow, and seeing how things have to be finetuned car by car, tyre by tyre, track by track, curve by curve, weather by weather, this might take a while.

    To me it’s especially noticeable in cars with limited lateral grip. e.g FTrainer where you’re now (even after some updates) forced to drift the car to be remotely competitive against even low strength AI who are on rails.

    Reiza obtains funding for Automobilista 2 Learning Neural AI. The system goes on-line August 4th, 2023. Human decisions are removed from car set ups and pit stop strategies. Automobilista 2 begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug. Automobilista 2 fights back... :p

    ss210607.jpg ss211700.jpg ss213409.jpg ss212647.jpg ss212825.jpg I know there's a screenshot thread but...to celebrate the insanity of oval racing, I present: Days of Thunder (Storm).

    I'm running with actual weather for locations turned on at the moment, and this watery nightmare gradually unfolded over the course of the race. Truly amazing stuff, Reiza!

    • Superkart: Further:wheel base / track width adjustments; Adjusted FFB for higher level of filtering
    • F-USA Gen1-3: Reduced draft & lift increment from radiator & brake setting for oval varriant; Adjusted short oval tire wear rate

    Great pictures! Which cars/series do you race here? Although we have no NASCAR cars the pics look almost like that. How does it work? Is NASCAR style racing possible? I thought that I read somewhere from devs that proper oval racing is only possible for very few classes (Indycars…) at the moment. Or did I misunderstand something?

    I just did a race with the F.Usa gen 3 in Fontana.
    Incredible sensations.
    It's not the latest version of AMS2 yet, but now you really get the thrills running wheel to wheel in that superspeedway.
    Great work Reiza: with the physics of the cars, with the rules of the track, with the AI.
    I see a lot of videos these days of people very interested in AMS2 and I'm happy for you.
    You deserve it.
    Go on like this.
    And thanks
    :)

    Thanks! They're rubbish really, but I thought they got across the speed and mental conditions.

    I'm using Race Department skins! Let us know if you don't know how to install them. It's easy:
    SuperV8 - NASCAR Liveries
    and
    Stock Car Brasil 1999 - Nascar Liveries

    The cars in the screenshots are Stock Car Brazil 1999.

    Listen, and understand. That AI is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

    There is no grip state.
    It seems that these tires have lost their deformation.
