AMS2: The ‘Not-a-Priority Things to Fix’ List

And why, in the name of all that is holy and sacred on this Earth, do my wheel and pedals output menu actions!? Is this a console game or what? What deity do I have to sacrifice to in order to be able to rest my foot on the accelerator pedal without being thrown into the Showroom or a different sub-menu?

Yes, yes and yes! But that's actually a priority matter IMHO.

But with regard to non-priority requests, can we please have a choice of background/menu music? The current menu music has this heart-beat kind of thump thing happening.... Can we have some music without the heart-beat? Perhaps something moody and contemplative?

Having had a few issues with my own ticker in the past and a spot of surgery on such, I find it inconvenient and slightly disconcerting to have to take my headset and earphones off to check I'm not having a coronary episode when I return to the menu after a TT session.

Thanks Reiza ;D

 

I've made a personal list of issues here, AMS2 Personal Bug/Issue List , containing all of the issues from my post. I will try to keep this updated, and I will only add issues I can objectively reproduce.

 

The first thing I do is turn the menu music to zero.

 

Great work Reiza with AMS2, congrats!!!
Please add VR scale option with assignable buttons..

It's a very useful future.. Thank you

 

Will we get eventually limited tyre sets?
Will we get F-Ultimate the 5 different tyre compounds?

 

I feel like a lot of these are real "urgent" issues and should be fixed soon.

 

If you haven't done yet, you probably should post that link with a short description here: Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 (Read the Opening Post)

 

Another annoying thing that doesn't affect the driving is the ridiculous dirt build-up. I just had a great race at Oulton Park in the Montana but watching the replay there were at least three cars in a row with exactly the same shape dirt build-up which looks totally unrealistic, almost like it had been painted on with a brush, then I go around a corner and the dirt disappears. Oh and the replays keep duplicating when I watch one.

The game is getting there but there is still plenty to fix.

 

TT ghost to show revs, speed and have engine audio. Pls

 

Formula cars are too bumpy while on grass or gravel, like if they had no suspension. This effect is exaggerated, it should be smoother, I believe. Please consider fixing it.

 

"In-Car Management" hud. I wish we could move this to where we want like the other huds. It's hard to look at it as it is blocked by my steering wheel.

 

It really annoys me that the escape also functions as yes, instead of back, and the usual button assigned to yes actually means exit. CSL Elite.

 

The F1 cars need Qualify Mode for the engines (Fuel Mix MAX, right above HIGH).

 

Just two things which come to my mind:

- ability to change name ingame so that you don't see strange Steam user names in the lobby. It kills immersion if you have to race against "tiny****1990"
- VR: would be nice to see your car in the rearviewmirror also

 

Is this maybe meant to "hide" things a little? Im guessing it probably has more to do with keeping the ghosts as tiny a file as possible, though.

 

Not sure, but just would seem more real esp with engine noise/ driving style/shifting, thats what I was thinking.
If hiding then it would be better to hide setup? could/should be an option to hide setup?.
Hearing the engine would just make it better, tacho over revving, early shift etc.

 

Fully agree with this. If it has to be through Steam then perhaps using the real name field in a user's steam profile rather than the username would be better. This would allow the user to retain their usual username for other games.

 

Ha no Please !!! there is fed up with contemplative music for car simulations.
No more contemplative music with symphony orchestras and piano complaints, it was the specialty of slighly mad studio. I do not support it anymore!!!
A little bit of life damn it !!!
ROCK AND ROLL !!!!

Or.......Samba??

 

How about some race car sounds? Was it Forza 3or 4 that had the wonderful sound of cars going by in the background. I always let it run through the entire soundtrack before shutting down after racing.
If I want music I'll start Pandora
