Automobilista 2 October 2022 Development Update

I wonder if mid and high tier wheels pronounce too much the bad FFB of the sims in general.

I've a humble G29 and indeed I don't like iRacing's FFB (the F3 is fine though), but it isn't that terrible to the point of making me not play the game at all.

ACC actually feels close to AMS2, and for IndyCar (the 2022, back when AMS2 had it) I actually prefer the rF2 one.

But all of them are absolutely inside the 'acceptable' zone for me.

 

Yeah, I know what you mean, it does pale in comparison but I do generally find it quite easy to switch between ams2 and pc2 because of the similarities. That being said, when I just want to cruise, Cali. Highway and Azure Coast are still favourites, especially with this beauty:

 

I enjoyed driving in PC2 and the only reason I uninstalled it was because of the lack of per-car FFB. Too much hassle to mess with it for each car to get the maximum out of the custom FFB files. I stopped "racing" in PC2 a long time ago though, as the AI not being affected by puddles ruined the game.

Reiza solved those issues and I am really looking forward to the huge batch of upcoming content! The numbers are climbing on SteamDB and at least in the US, AMS2 is more populated than PC2, Raceroom and very close to RF2 (in the evenings at least).

 

If someone could find a way to port everything that's in PC2 to AMS2 you would pretty much have no reason to play any other racing game for single player

 

Im happy for you

Thanks

Its not

 

Think it would be possible with the cars, but currently not with the tracks

 

You know, the thing I'm sitting here thinking about... the Super Car Pack

We know its 3 cars
We know those cars are road legal.
We have no other information what so ever.
Whats the chances that these are like 1960's - 70'e supercars like the Mercedes SL, or a Lamborghini Countach. Cars that theoretical could be blended into existing racing classes with little more than a tire change and some racing stickers? Because otherwise, I don't see the appeal of road going Supercars in AMS 2? (Other than as a checkmark required to get some prestigious brands)

 

I interpreted Dylan Hale's statement to be more about porting the game modes (i.e. Career mode), not about porting content. Am I right?

 

No. I was mostly referring to content. I don't really care about PC2's Career mode TBH, much happier with the Custom championships.

 

I mean, the tracks are 100% possible. We just have to get the tools off of reiza or EA to do it.

 

FIRST WE GET THE TOOLS
THEN WE GET THE CONTENT
THEN WE HAVE ENJOYMENT
LET’S BRING IT!!

 

Of course, no Christmas would be complete without the following. Saw someone mentioned this track the other day; E-type, ice tyres and gorgeous views. Pure joy!

Can even stop at the pub for a hot toddy aftwerwards.



Done now, promise.

 

Hope we can get snow in AMS2

 

The naive optimist in me hopes this will drop just before Christmas this year.

White Hell, anyone?

 

Wow, come down wrong from that height and thats one totalled car!

 

Absolutely, thankfully I totally nailed the landing. Was just doing it for the shot and it is probably the smoothest I have ever done it haha.

 

Er wow! Doesnt even look like snow tires are being used, thats scary!

 

I guess that's where the expression "when hell freezes over" comes from.

 

I'm in the same boat as you with regards to not seeing the appeal at all, but the word 'supercar' feels like relatively modern stuff to me.

 

Yeah I feel like the Supercars pack will likely be modern stuff, I'm expecting a McLaren somewhere in the fray since that's one of Reiza's most established licenses but anything else is up for debate really
