Automobilista 2 May 2021 Development Update

Yes.
Just take a screenshot of your settings/the current look of the settings, should be easier to get it back that way.

 

Not sure about that. Maybe someone else can help, but it might be a good idea to take notes or screenshots of your current setup so you can more easily recreate it after the update (in case you need to manually do so).

 

Oh yes - this was such a fantastic way of working in Project Cars 2 with the custom grid tool - it meant you really could get close to WEC, IMSA, British GT etc... In game having 30 cars 3 classes meant you had way too many LMP1 cars for instance and it just felt wrong... being able to pick 2 of each 2016 LMP1, larger selections of LMP2 and GTE all with the livery of your choice was epic running around the likes of Le Mans / Fuji to closely match WEC...

 

I m not talking bout setups here. I am talking about the camera position.
If i have to recreate the position for all the cars, this is bad and very time consuming.. Is there any specific file which is bond to the camera position - so i should - at least - keep it?

 

Legend Dave, thanks very much

 

I certainly am looking forward to this. Sounds like a fantastic update. Thanks for your hard work on this one! Shout out to the Beta testers too for their efforts that we can all benefit from.

 

Can't wait for Mazda and Acura DPi, I've spent multiple hours driving them in AC and I would love to see how those behave during the storm

 

Similar question to the one asked by @Haris1977.
If I delete Documents\Automobilista 2\savegame folder, will my per car FFB settings be lost?

It would be better if all camera position/per car ffb settings were in a separate *.ini files (like ACC).

 

Great work once again, Reiza!
Just curious to know and it might have been mentioned earlier: will we someday be able to edit the names and skills of AI drivers and assign skins to them? @Renato Simioni @Dave Stephenson

 

You are doing such great work!! AMS2 with its ever evolving content have certainly helped me get through the whole covid situation. I remember downloading the first beta only a couple of days before we had the first case in my town. Keep up your good work! It is truly appreciated

 

I fully agree. But - apart from this - do we know in what specific file - the dash camera position values are saved? I assume it must be inside:

\Documents\Automobilista 2\savegame\[name_of_file]\automobilista 2\profiles folder, so either within:

- default.controllersettings.v1.03.sav
- default.localsettings.v1.03.sav or
- default.sav

But which of the 3? Maybe @Renato Simioni could answer?

 

Monstrous Team you REIZA. Just an astonishing work. Finally that madness engine is on safe hands now. You knew how to choose. Congrats... And I'm sorry for my comments on Palm trees on long Beach. I know there is priorities. But I'm that kind of guy, love perfection/beauty.

 

I believe Renato previously mentioned this was in the long-term list so 'one day' but don't hold your breath for it.


Edit: quote from the April dev blog

 

All 3 must be deleted as Renato wrote, because all 3 content basic settings, that have changed in a very wide range . Delete it or don‘t complain when your game starts to do weird actions or crashes.

 

As one of those who got into Sim Racing fully only with the onset of COVID-19 (I was an AC dabbler before) I can’t tell you just how happy and lucky I feel to have hooked up with Reiza Studios and AMS2.

The development on this title has seen all of the issues you may expect with a new release on an engine unfamiliar to the Devs, whilst under a crazy (and worsening in Brazil) time, yet we’ve moved steadily and for the most part firmly forward with each update.

I am very excited to get in game next week and try out all of your hard work.
Thank you Reiza

 

If it's so crucial to delete these files, then why doesn't the game do that automatically when updating? Most people do not read the release notes let alone this forum.

 

Currently playing the beta, and guys the game has massively improved. It's really worth the wait!
