Automobilista 2 V1.0.1.0 & Hockenheimring Pack RELEASED - Now updated to v1.0.1.2

I understand Reiza's problem right now.
Who asks for something who asks for the opposite (including me).
More realism, less realism, too easy , too complicated.
People who want to try the experience but don't have a chance to have a decent setup.
Maybe a collection of decent setups to choose from without a degree in engineering, a global setting to minimize car harshness?
Less frustrating button?
What is real? if my minivan does not go off the road at 70 k / h when cornering, why does a race car do it?
Who knows.
I need a cofee.

 

Great work , thanks Reiza .
Just one question regarding FPS , are you aware of any problems over the last couple of updates that could cause heavier GPU / CPU usage compared to earlier versions ?
Thanks and keep up the fantastic work .

 

I will just echo that the Stock Car 2020 is not particularly difficult to drive (by sim car standards). That doesn't mean it will drive like a console race car, but it is not devilish or unpredictable. It is very predictable--in that it is a bit nervous and the default set-up causes rotation under braking. This rotation may be too much for people who prefer their race cars to handle like road cars, but it is exactly the type of set-up one should expect for a race car. Since it is predictable rotation, it can undoubtedly be dialed-out with changes to the set-up.

I have also heard people wailing about cars like the Gol or Uno because they do not handle like the road car versions. No kidding. The road car versions are so incompetent that they wouldn't be allowed on a race track. You have to make major changes to a FWD car to get it to corner well on a race track, and the AMS 2 default set-ups reflect that.

Should Reiza provide more docile set-ups for beginners--absolutely! We want people less familiar with real racing to not be scared or frustrated, which I am sure is happening as described above. Just be aware that these "safer" set-ups will also be slower, so you can't have it both ways. However, it would be perfectly reasonable for a beginner's league or a beginner's server to force all to use a beginner set-up for the race. There will be fewer spins and more fun for that audience.

 

This is a rather subjective statement based on your personal skill level. Lesser skilled people will have a different experience. When I drove the Stock Car for the first time it was a horrible experience and I wasn't able to complete one single lap in a somewhat decent way. Lots of practice and changes to the Differential setup changed things for me. In other words, I gained more skills

 

Yes that's very true , thanks anyway for the fast response . Enjoy the rest of the day Renato .

 

I would make the default Stock 2020 car setup a bit more stable.
In its current form, I understand that this car can be off-putting for some people.
Although I do really enjoy these kind of cars.

 

It's very informative, Renato. I was watching the real race in Goiânia this weekend (the first race of 2020 model) and just wondering how should be to model a car that even drivers and engineers don't know how exactly he would behave in certain scenarios. For example, during TV broadcast was said the car was mainly tested in Velocitá but Goiânia have the longest straight of the calendar and they don't know for sure how brakes would work in race conditions, in a very hot day like that. Team's had a lot less hours of test that they would have if not because this pandemic. Every testimony of professionals involved that I saw to the moment was saying the car is harder to drive than the old one and a lot of pleople saying the brakes are one of the mainly differences once they had to brake earlier than before. Looking what Reiza reached for this car at this conditions, I am looking forward to what it will become after they have more feedback about it. By the way, I am waiting for the driver model to use those buttons over our head to turn the machine on (annoying VR player alert ).

Edit: spell

 

Thanks for that insight, very informative and much appreciated
Could we get more of these to settle the various other disputes that crop up from forum to forum? Perhaps then we can stop having to analyse onboards to keep our own sanity in check

 

Renato doesn't have time to write the same story about every car in the game. I don't know a single car where there are not diametrically opposed views regarding how good/bad, easy/difficult, realistic/unrealistic.

 

It was a tongue in cheek comment man, calm down, jeez

 

I'd certainly like some Reiza-love applied to pCars' rather complicated diff menu, ideally limited to diff types and load values limited to those of the real cars, at least ballpark values.

 

I think you didn't know how to interpret what I said, you must be missing something, I never said that I was right or wrong, I said that every time something is asked here, people like you write a lot of nonsense, I'm just answering you now , because the answer is straightforward for me, because if it weren't, I would read and ignore it, nobody is obliged to agree with me, but if you don't have anything to add or help answer your doubts or criticisms, ignore the comment, but no whenever you say something about anything that is negative to the game, people like you show up, what did your answer help me with? what did you add? nothing, on the contrary, only reinforces what I say and several have already said here, you cannot criticize, if it is well founded or not, you cannot criticize, you want me to write that (everything is wonderful), everyone I know is loving the Stock2020) (Stock is a pleasant car, at hand) satisfied? you can sleep peacefully today, I make it very clear if you agree with something here in the comments, support, if you don’t like deslike, disagree, but if you don’t have anything to add to the person ignore it and don’t keep saying that (for me it’s good) because nobody here and the center of the universe and a game was not made for one person, but some think so ...

 

Instead of asking Reiza to create a more stable setup for this car then maybe a few users with good experience in this car could upload the settings for a more stable setup - to be copied by users struggling to setup this car.
That could be a good way of showing some community spirit

 

The update to the Stock Car feels great. Thank you

 

I know, it was meant in jest because you mentioned onboards
Apologies for upsetting your PA

 

I agree. It is to a certain extent the sim racer duty to customize the car the way they feel it suits them better. Obviously, some people will not have the time, the patience or the the knowledge to develop them but there are alternatives: some leagues have their "setup factory" in their discord, internet also provides set-ups for almost every sim. Even if you google how a limited slip differential works you will find the basics on what the parameters that you read in the set-up do . I'd rather see developers spending time to improve on the UI, MP, ranking etc. than developing setups. That is our duty
