Automobilista 2 May 2024 Development Update - The Road to V1.6 Pt1

Will AMS2 ever get a better controller support ? Thanks !

 

People have been asking for better controller support for 4 years in this thread, but none of the promises regarding better controller support have been fulfilled.

 

Are they almost ready for the next release? Please don't forget them Even if it's one or two

 

Honestly the Panoz is actually quite a reasonable guess owing to Reiza's influx of US content, the existing GT1 class and the fact that (not that it means much but it's worth pointing out) PC2 had a good quality model of it

The others would need new classes with their own respective content though, and while I absolutely would not complain about getting GT1 Gen 2 (GTR2, anyone?) or LMP900 they might be more of a way's away

 

I have been thinking that, in Project Cars 2, the Toyota GT One 1998 was also featured in the same class as other GT1 cars. I think it would be a sick vehicle to bring into this game as I loved racing with the GT1 cars in Project Cars 2.

 

There is actually a way to play these 3 cars in AMS2 right now!

 

1998 GT-One is effectively a GT1 class though it did not participate to the FIA GT Championship. 1999 classification changed and all cars became effectively prototypes (closed or open cockpit)

 

Well, I think "late June" is officially here...

 

Late June correlates with the 24h of Spa.

 

Amazing.

 

Good afternoon! Can you tell me, in update 1.6 there will be more slots for championships and custom championships, as well as the ability to edit the parameters of preset championships?

 

Short question for the Devs: Will the AI also be able to flash their lights? I startet watching some real onboard-clips from 24h Nürburgring and other endurance races, and the drivers are constantly flashing each other.
Would be amazing for the atmosphere in night races!

 

(I'm sorry, I couldn't resist it)

 

I was driving a 10% of 24h Le Mans yesterday and the cars were always flashing right before lapping someone. So it's already implemented

 

AMAZING! Thanks for the response, I like to hear that. Maybe I was driving in the wrong classes ... or never got lapped

Can't wait for the next development update and the release of 1.6 Great times to be a gamer!

 

This game really needs wet tyre optimization. They are really bad at current state. The car is spins after passing on even small puddle (even on the straigth). They heat up very quickly, they don't cool down even when driving on the wet sides of the track, sometimes it feels like the car has no brakes. After any drizzle, we immediately lose control of the car when we are on slick tire but it doesn't feel like that for AI. I hope they fix this situation after new update.

 

It is coming...the tires are being revised as per the first post here starting with dry and then moving to wets.

 

I never felt the cars that way on wet. For me it is quite decent. The AI needs adjustment for sure.

 

The puddles on the road almost always make the rear of the car spin. That's why i'm slowing the car or i don't press the gas pedal. Don't we already put this tyre for avoid this situations?

btw, i'm sorry for my english.

 

likely not til 2025. And yes, I want it sooner.
