Automobilista 2 October 2022 Development Update

Or even freeroam tracks like in AC's modding scene, could Madness do this?

 

You should try some online racing in a decent and friendly server with drivers who know racing rules, its a whole other level! Having said that, i love the ability to have A.I. races aswell, there's much to be learned from both!

 

Ok this AND the ability to press a button and have the driver sprites head turn and arm wave whilst honking horn at driver beside you. Go on do it! Folks would go mad for it on the cool down laps in online races!

 

Awsome! Cheers!

 

Yeah, just like in ETS2 and ATS too, in most cars you cant see the side mirrors in cockipt view without some ridiculous FOV, every racing sim should have those virtual side mirrors.

 

Brilliant! Great to hear, thanks for the info!!!

 

Thats great to hear! I'd love to know what actually makes this happen, as it does'nt happen to the player car, is it because of the A.I. being on different physics or the way in which gravity affects them. seen it before in other sims. Would be interesting to know, not that im saying i would understand if it comes down to code, may need it simplified for my basic brain. Brilliant to hear its getting fixed though!

 

Ah right so do those sims have 3 virtual mirrors also?

 

The last time I tried online was years ago in Forza motorsport 6 or 7 I dont know anymore, so you can see how my online experience is tainted by rammers and dirty drivers haha. Maybe in more serious racing games it's better. The automobilista 2 AI might not be perfect but I'm pretty satisfied with it for now, most of the time. At least it doesnt just run on rails like most games.

 

Infact you could take it one step further than RF2 (because AMS2 has such an amazing customisible HUD) and be able to position them exactly where you want (like you can already do with the centre V.M.), change the size of them to what you want (obviously there would have to be a restriction on exactly how big or small) AND! Have all the mirrors on the same shape as the ones on the car, for example if a car has oval side mirrors or squarish ones then the virtual ones also have that shape. (I know that would take alot of work though, so id be happy with just 3 generic squarish ones)

 

Ah yes, I see you're point, im sure those servers get very chaotic! The A.I. are not perfect (in any sim), but in this one they're bloody good! Watch this A.I. driver go for it, amazing moves, like watching a real driver! (and folks say the A.I. in AMS2 don't overtake each other!)

 

Ok that makes alot of sense, cheers for the info again mate!
Edit: And thanks for making it simple enough for me to understand!

 

P.S. If you're interested or even curious (and also because i think the fact that chaotic Forza servers have put you off of what can be a great experience), You can always come join us when im running one of my live servers. I usually stream it and folks tend to care about their driving when they know its live on Youtube. Got a great bunch of regulars and we have alot of fun! here's the thread for it: Tarmac Terrorist LIVE! Live Server Streamed On Youtube!

Its not a league so you dont have to attend, its up to you. Casual, but the racing it usually pretty clean and good, but don't take my word for it judge for yourself! Here's a video of one of the races, hope its encouraging for you!

 

i wonder how many more videos can be self promoted here

 

P.S. can we please, please, please with slicks on top have these!

How much do I have to pay??

 

I died

 

I spend alot of time making these, so im gunna use them as examples where ever they are relevant, and they are very relevant here. Folks post vids they hav'nt made themselves as examples of whats being talked about all the time and no one bats an eyelid, but when you're example is a video you've made folks then bring up self promotion. Well, posting your opinion is self promotion of your POV, so its self promotion. I just go one step futher and back up what im say with video evidence aswell as text... Cause im hardcore and i put the muthfudging effort in! (Don't worry I know you're just having a laugh!)

 

Yeah they do, but are not very customisable, I remember getting a mod to make them a bit smaller for example, but very useful anyway, and for sure, with the customizable UI in AMS2 it would be perfect to be abble to adjust the position and size the way you want.
