Featured Automobilista 2 V1.6.5 RELEASED - Now Updated to V1.6.5.2

Not only at Silverstone National Circuit, but also on tracks like Oulton Park and Sebring, the entire GT3 Gen1*2 and retro formula class frequently experiences incidents. AI-controlled cars often can't even last a lap or two before flooding into the pits for repairs. In replays, they are often seen spinning out before corners due to lacking grip.

When you choose a GT4 race car, these incidents vanish entirely. The AI-driven cars become remarkably stable. so gt3 gen12 and retro formula must be fix This definitely needs to be fixed; otherwise competitive racing is impossible.

 

Man, I hope these GT1 changes wont affect the balance of the class too much... The class were very good balanced despite the historical inaccuracy...

 

As far as I remember... the only disadvantage of Mercedes in the 1998 GT1 was fuel consumption.So... if Reiza can balance the pace of these cars in long stints... it seems to me a good win-win path between realism and class competitiveness in the AMS2.

 

I can understand why it shouldnt be making too much of a performance cost, but I'm really noticing a fps hit with this setting. I'm not sure sure which other settings the fade affects, but have Track detail set to High and just now (on v1.6.5.2) without changing any other graphic setting other than LOD fade, when switched off I'm at my max fps setting of 118. Switched on however it starts constantly fluctuating somewhere between 100 - 110, into 90's at its lowest which I'd say is quite a noticeable drop. CPU usage remains about 30% so doesnt seem to be CPU that's affected.. ..this was on Watkins Glen, default date which was Autumn foliage.

Luckily can't say I had ever had an issue with textures poping in in the first place so am happy leaving the setting off, just thought I'd mention as certainly on my set up it doesnt seem to be working so smoothly

 

Speaking of an AI issue that has bothered me still, I hope you at Reiza will look into the Red Bull Ring corner 9 annoyance that has been issued. If you could fix Sebring then I sure believe you will fix the RBR!

 

Guys, if you have specific AI related issues then please post it in the specific threads.

 

"Will the Nordschleife be updated so that you can take the shortcut, just like in real life?
"

 

The "new" Nurb is for this July , right ?

 

Yes

 

Southern hemisphere July

 

What month are you in the northern hemisphere right now?

 

Summer months. Duh

 

"That's great news for the Nordschleife! I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but will there ever be a proper flashlight function, instead of the current system where you have to constantly hammer the on/off button? Also, will the replay feature be changed so you can view more than just the last two minutes, for example, something that happened 10 minutes ago?
"

 

You can use crewchief to setup a flashing button, several videos can be found on YT, it basically cycles the headlights a couple times with one buttonpress

 

Still July though

 

Answering to myself: I did not have such performance problems anymore. Did right now like a 4 hours session without issues

 

Please, never invest in the stock market... you will mentally crushed.
