Automobilista 2 November 2021 Development Update

It says a few days difference in the OP. I assume this can increase if some bugs need to be squashed.

 

Thanks, I'm not that much interested in the demo (and its cars) and more in the resonance it generates among players who may never have played AMS2 and now try it with the demo; so the steam reviews and such. I hope that this demo might help AMS2 in gaining a few more supporters, as I feel that many are held back by somewhat negative videos by somewhat popular influencer(s).

As it seems, there isn't a review page for the demo, though.

As I understand it, Reiza should have a detailed spreadsheet of this behaviour by now. Also, this has been described to death in the AI thread, by different people in different situations.

 

Since its known, did they have to meet a deadline for releasing it? Otherwise i find it odd that they would release a demo with known bugs, as a demo is an advertisement for the game as well

 

Already done a couple of times since game release...

 

[nevermind]

 

Been a long time user of PC2... Honestly it was far worse there to have cars rotate cleanly around a corner. So much so that every high level race you could see streamed people were drifting the cars into the corner with crazy oversteer and then put the power down so early because with the completely locked diff that PC2 had that was the fastest way around corners.
Even before the next update that should fix for good the diff issues, AMS2 is already miles away and better than PC2.
Like it was highlighted to GM, for those who want their car to have an AC-like behavior where going off the gas creates a huge wave of oversteer that can already be achieved in most cars in AMS2 through a bit of diff and setup fiddling with some cars being an exception. Even more will be achievable with the more unlocked diff and no more cars will be exceptions hopefully.
Whether that is actually a realistic car behavior or not is a different problem, as I personally disagree on that AC flavor being the right reproduction of the way a race car drives and the famous "lift off oversteer" is a unicorn he is chasing because of AC..

 

Emphasis on setup needed. This isn't meant as a downer, but more like expectation management, because some type of cars, suspension packages and tires will plow - open or locked diff. Not to mention aero balance which overshadows weight transfer at reasonable speeds. But aero balance can change a lot as you're driving depending on inputs and suspension of course.

Ultimate point: the rear of a car won't shoot out just, because the diff is loose. (you can still feel it being loose in a subtle way)

 

It is A-Chimera not an unicorn

 

Tomorrow can't come fast enough. I need my CART fix

 

Then you will have to wait about 12 days probably, that will get released at the end of the month

 

One thing. Can we stop with the being able to drive through other cars on your outlap after you've finished, i really do hate this (and thats saying summit cause i dont hate much about AMS2), in fact i cant stand ghosted cars full stop, they're either there or they're not, plus i cant see sh$t if i end up inside another car. I really hate it, please give us the option to turn that feature off. Otherwise be damn sure im looking forward to this update, think this is gunna be mega! (yep i used the word mega, grew up in the 90's for sure!). Mini rant out!

 

This was taken from pCARS2 to eliminate the lags when joining other drivers. So the new drivers are only loaded when you are in the pits.

 

...or later

 

If you are on P/Q and see a ghosted car, it just means the driver did not return to the pits yet since you joined. As mentioned above, this is ME’s way of eliminating the join lag by only loading in the pit garage.

If you see a ghosted car during a race then that driver and you are not synced and as such ghost to avoid contact and crazy netcode reactions.

 

Hello,
And what about the roadmap for the second USA DLC ? Is it always planed for tomorrow ?
Thanks

 

It comes at the end of the month.

 

Nope. Tomorrow

 

A patch with the VW and improvements from the last 3 weeks is coming tomorrow.

Racin' USA DLC Part 3 is coming end of the month.

Edit: Misread. The dev update comes tomorrow, yes

 

Part 2 you mean? Part 3 was supposed to be the oval stuff

 

"The Pack - originally planned as a single, massive expansion pack - has been split it into three standalone parts, each including a number of tracks and cars - the first centered around the US thriving sports car scene; the second on its single-seater heritage and the third on the world of oval racing, with some overlap between them adding up to a cohesive whole. We expect to release all three parts before the end of the year."
