Automobilista 2 August 2022 Development Update

In my view, Spa 2022 in time for the F1 event is a nice gesture, but the real surprise is the "enhanced connection to the road" that is highlighted in this video.

 

Very good video that makes you want, well done Reiza. Then I suggest completing the available demo with a few vehicles: the VWs do not best represent Reiza's work in my opinion.

 

Yeah, thats also a thing, what makes that especially hard is when they left because of certain bugs for example, and after 6 months give it another go and encounter the same bugs, that doesnt help at all

 

I think Renato mentioned in a reply here that that content will get its own "spotlight" release, to have more attention drawn to it, then if it was part of another big update.

 

Agree to that, and the 'enhanced connection to the road' will be needed to stay out of the 2022 track gravel traps everywhere, a lot less room for errors.

The Articulated transporter lorry driving around in the video should have 'Team Rieza' or 'Simioni Racing' on the side.
Nice to see a good promo vid
Insomniac devs having longest Friday night ever. Doughnuts and coffee.
Should payoff with a fun weekend for all.

 

GREAT work on the video, it shows off the current state of AMS2 very well. We owe it to Reiza to each share it far and wide

 

Diesel smoke

 

So good morning from GER. That GT car is for sure:
And this is also very interesting:

 

I somehow didn't notice that AMS2 doesn't have this yet.

 

c‘mon guys push the vid to twitter and Insta

 

The "old invalid setups will automatically be discarded" -feature alone will be the physics fix AMS2 has needed for two years.

 

oh no…too bad for the great top fight on Oulton Park

 

If only there were no jet lag.

 

Love the new promotional video and also the fact that they advertise the spectacular VR part of this sim as well. Two important things though that Reiza should take care sooner than later in this area to NOT disappoint new customers who feel attracted by the video IMHO:

1. Implement the “sharpening fix” (manually having to change a value in an ini-file to get crystal-clear VR image) into the in-game graphics settings menu (sharpening slider for example). Many new customers don’t know this fix and therefore won’t see the best VR graphics out of the box. This should probably be an easy implementation with a great effect…

2. Fix/optimise the massive VR-performance loss in rain/night-conditions due to the headlights of the opponents getting turned on in those conditions. New VR players will probably want to try first the unique weather/night-cycle system promoted in the video and therefore won’t experience the great VR performance in AMS2 they would have experienced if they had chosen dry weather at daytime.

I know the problem in the second point is maybe hard to find/fix and Reiza is already aware of the problem but I just wanted to share my opinion.

Can’t wait to try out V1.4!
Thank you Reiza for your hard work. I hope you will get all the success you deserve!

 

Official Events
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

I wonder if that one famous YouTuber who made that video (you know the one, the top result for AMS2) could maybe give AMS2 another shot once 1.4 drops
Maybe they'll be surprised

 

Soon

 

I think they yanked his beta access and he's refusing to buy the game because martyrdom is part of his shtick.

 

Oh

You win some, you lose some, I guess...
