    Add stability control as another for of driving aid.
    I noticed that LMU has this as an option alongside traction control. Wondering if adding this aid could help with controllability when using a gamepad/steam deck or controller

    Stability control is already in the game, you can look up the key assignment in the controls settings and you can activate it in gameplay settings...

    Thanks! Just found it and looks like the difference is pretty minimal. I ended up using that russian only AMS2 controller guide on steam and may have just found a bit of a happy medium that alleviates my oversteer challenges

    Option to completely disable car reset would be nice to stop trolls like this. And better server admin options for easy kick/ban !

    It would be a terrible shame if lots of people downvoted that channel's videos, and optionally reported any that they thought might legitimately constitute abuse/harassment to YouTube. /s

    I don't know where to post this - so sorry, if it's in the wrong section of this forum:
    Is there a chance of getting dirty mirrors back for the Caterhams? I always loved the look of them. I understand that dirt effect has been removed for rear cameras and rear mirrors but it has always been a nice touch to the Caterhams. :oops:

    Make the headlights on the V8 supercar not real headlights so we can put stickers on them.
    The Holden has that possibility and it seems like that’s the car which is used as the base for the AMS2 one.

    Would be nice to be able to set up a Championship mode for multiplayer.

    That way a championship could be easily tracked when racing with friends, especially when using Racing Life or similar mods :).

    Any chance that we can have a hudless mode? I've been playing a lot of ams2 in vr since I got my new gpu and every time someone joins I get a text box popup saying someone has joined, and this ruins immersion and actually covers the left mirror! Also unnecessary popups like brake bias and rollbar changes can't be hidden.

    Hello. Is there a plan to add Middle East tracks? For example, Sakhir and Yas Marina. And we really want a Ferrari )))

    At least you can move that one (messages > live edit). Is it possible to move it (at least partially) out of the rendered area now? There was a recent change that allowed HUD elements to extend outside of the edges of the screen.

    What you cannot move, and to keep this on-topic it'd be a feature request from me, albeit one that's been requested before many times, are the in game chat box - fixed to be about halfway up the left side of the screen - and the ICM - which seems to be offset to the left of the horizontal centre of the screen by an amount that seems to be proportional to the width of the screen, that is to say it's further from the centre the wider your screen is.

    In the case of the chat, with a 32:9 screen it is so far off to the left that trying to check it when it pops up means looking significantly away from where you're driving, and the ICM has a similar although less severe issue.

    Any plans to add the preset filter when making a custom championship? Seems a wasted feature for single races.

    I'm sure this has been suggested before but I'll add another voice to the pile.

    A race engineer.

    In its simplest form, just someone to come on the radio and give updates on tyre temps, brake temps, changes in track conditions, if you're gaining or losing time to the car ahead, approaching traffic in multi class races, simple weather forecast "Looks like there might be rain incoming in a few minutes".
    Basically an integrated version of the Crew Chief app, without having to have a separate program running in the background.
    We already have the very basic implementation of a spotter, so it'd be nice to have it expanded.

    In a more complex form that may or may not be possible in-house, an engineer that can tell if you're struggling with oversteer or understeer and give tips on how to mitigate these problems. Or that can tell you where you're losing time, if you can take more speed through certain corners, etc.
    Maybe even give set-up suggestions based on telemetry data.
    I've seen videos of someone managing to do this with AI, so the telemetry data is definitely there and comprehensive enough to allow something like this.

    I'm not saying to use AI/LLMs for this, but maybe just run a few laps in practice and get a message that says "We've got some setup suggestions for you" so you head to the garage and find a "suggested changes" tab in the setup menu, maybe?
    With the ability to either select certain changes to apply or apply all at once.

    If you'd need someone to record a plethora of voice lines, I'm available ;);):whistle:

    Having the ability to simulate through an AI driver stint in endurance races would be really good. For example, I want to do the 6 hours at Watkins Glen but only have 2 hours. I can start the first hour or so, The AI driver takes over at the pit and the next 4 hour are simulated and I take over for the last hour and drive.
    A way to properly plan startergies (like in the F1 games) for the endurance races would probably make this easier so you can set when and what time the AI should pit.
    Being able to start the races with the AI driver and take over mid race would be pretty cool too

    A future Südschleife. It is my humble opinion that this south loop is absolutely underrated when pairing it with a car that you can really throw at it. The VTCT1 BMW or something similar.

    However, my request is that this circuit, a novelty idea at best, has a 'theoretical future' version. Meaning, we have historics, why not give this circuit a little 'Bathursting' and imagine a version of the circuit as if i existed in 2025; walls, corner cut wide grating(?) kerbs (to allow side-by-side racing), a little wider maybe.

    Suds' has it all!
    This circuit has length, undulations, camber, hills, fast straights, that amazing little drop off after T1, it just needs a few nice kerbs on a few of the tight corners,.. going up that hill while being chased or chasing towards the straight is just greatness.

    Reiza, make it happen and I'll send you 2 packs of Custard Creams (posh U.K biscuits) and 2 packs of Jammy Dodgers.

    This is not a bug, but a few requests:
    - is it possible to make replay to last more? is just one lap time and it would be nice to save like 10 seconds before and 10 seconds after the lap. It would be nice to have shortcurt with the keyboard to start, stop, rewind, etc.
    - is it possible to program a qualifying session like f1, with q1, q2, q3? That would be great. And also make mandatory to use different type compounds.

    Thanks a lot!

    Current madness engine limitations are the reason behind the current state AFAIK

    move hud elements positions/size to your desired location (using ams2 options) then add the mod vr hud move distance away in the .cfg file of that, it’s easy to understand & install

    you can have everything exactly as you wish with the settings & the vr mod
    AMS 2 HUD Position Mod (VR)

    Good to know thanks. Thanks exactly what I'm looking for. It just would be nice if it were built in the game like AC Content Manager or ACC.
