AMS2 Q&A General Discussions & Feedback

As I have too few posts to ask my question in the QA thread, I hope I am allowed to post it here. Qualifying with AI enabled is a very frustrating experience in F1 Ultimate Gen 2 races because they are constantly impeding, driving slow on the racing line. At least with AI level up to 80 it's almost impossible to stay on the racing line through a whole lap without getting blocked by an AI car and in places like Monaco, it is impossible. As in real life, AI should only occupy the racing line when they are on a hot lap and make room when they are on an out/cooldown lap. Are there any plans to improve that? If not, could you at least implement a general championship option to have private qualifying and not on a per-track basis?

 

Jesus, if that's what AI development entails then I'm truly amazed that we are where we are with AI being somewhat believable.
It also shows how fiddly (just look at the values of some variables) it is to set up.
Wow.

 

I guess a workaround for the moment would be to use Private Qualifying?

 

Yes see my last question, would be great to be able to set this per default and not have to set it on every track. But a proper behaving AI would be preferable

 

I think this would lead to a whole lot of confusion over players not being able to keep pace with AI cars on "hard" tyres or driving excessively long with "soft" tyres. I'd say it's better to wait for a proper implementation of the AI using different compounds.

 

I recorded a video describing the situation how AI might not be completely nose to tail, but when driving so very close to the driver in front of them (AI or player) and approach a corner, they will often times swerve left and right until they spin out. F-Retro Gen 1 at Interlagos 1976

But it also happened to me at Silverstone 1991 with F-Classic Gen 4 in the exact same way, AI cars that are "too close" to each other, the driver behind will start swerving left and right until they spin and sometimes catch it, often times just crash out. It is the kind of situation that i would expect the AI to attempt going around the car on the outside but instead they panic and seems like they cannot figure out how to quickly slow down and not crash into the car ahead ?

 

Thanks. As it is only an optional value, like braking strength, (the default one would stay the same) then I don´t understand why it would oblige setup resets across the board apart from for the players who actually want to select less lock voluntarily and that is on them, same as any other adjustment.

The issue I am trying to solve is to have a very agile turn in at very low speeds to make it round tight corners e.g. Long Beach hairpin but then at above say 80kph have the sensitivity gradually reduce so that the car is not overly twitchy at higher speeds. The current speed sensitivity and damping combos don´t really do that well and have to be adjusted for almost every car.

In RRE this can be done by putting low steering lock (8 or 9 on most tracks) then adjusting the % of speed sensitive steeering application and finally the low and high speeds that it takes effect it. I can also adjust response sensitivity at all speeds.

 

I know this is an age old question but i forgot the answer.

Is it feasible in anyway to make every car have unlimited liveries? Of course "it can be done" but is it feasible without rewriting almost the whole game?

 

I have a question that already was noted by Reiza as a visual issue: kart drivers visibility. All divers models have a max visibility distance to render and just kart drivers are more easy to notice this?

 

I am just finished with a whole evening of work to produce three videos with timestamps including documentation just to realize that 30 minutes ago Renato has closed the thread.

I'd be REALLY pleased to post my infos in the "AI physics issue answer" thread. Please re-open it!

1. Are there plans to add a virtual fuel tank like it is implemented in IMSA?
2. Are you considering adding more IMSA content that's not the WeatherTech Sportscar Championship?
3. Will we see multi-class features like differentiation of classes for the leaderboard (see foto below) and rolling start procedure meaning different classes always get bunched together on the grid and start together, faster classes first?

 

@Renato Simioni
It seems you missed my post regarding if custom ai will be enabled in multiplayer in a future release. It’s my only question

1. Will there be improvements in the rain physics and its force feedback? In the loss of grip when driving over the rubber line or on the curbs? And graphically, will there be any improvements? I feel like light rain sometimes looks too heavy visually. Also, will formula cars flash the rear red light?
2. Will marshals be added to the game, and will the flag system be improved?
3. Do you plan to add more tracks like Magny-Cours Historical, Hungary, or other missing circuits to complete various seasons?
   
   Thanks!
