Automobilista 2 V1.0.6.0 RELEASED - Now updated to V1.0.6.2

Good grief, leave the V10 alone. It's one of the cars in AMS2 that works marvelously. There's a dozen cars that are broken, go figure out how to fix those before you start deleting grip from the actually driveable cars.

And we can start talking about realistic flat spot modelling when the FFB actually gives useful information about when the brakes are about to lock up. Until that point, leave it as is.

 

It would be nice to see these cars in AMS2...

Porsche announces return to top class of endurance racing from 2023

Just saying @Renato Simioni ...

 

This sounds interesting. you could share with us here if you wish.
Sim Racing. General discussions and thoughts
Even in a Mini which Ive owned and dont like this would be an experience to remember.

This maybe related to actually being able to get it /fully off as mentioned elsewhere. Im still not convinced 100% gives zero TC in some cars.

 

Especially if the drivers' aids are not turned off in the realism menu...

 

What kind of lap times are you doing at Bathurst?

Just ran some laps around Bathurst to try default gen 1 &2, fast little beasties round here! too fast for me lol very "tron" like, was curious about the TC settings more than anything.
TC in gen2 20-100 I feel a difference, but not a lot tbh, managed to have the rr twitching and loosing on both settings 1.38 laps. With tc off (100) I expected less rr grip, I guess the aero on the car is superb as in real car. Its more fun @ 100 but not as much difference as I expected
The default setup has almost maximum downforce at rear. (20 of 24) as Im sure you know
fr 30 rr 20 out of fr 36 rr24. Its a super sticky car! lowered rr to 1/2 default to 10 and a different beast appears as expected.

 

Well, I'm going to write something that I have no pleasure in doing, I recognize several advances in AMS2, great surprises such as circuits and GT3, GT4 cars and others, but I am deeply upset and disappointed with Stockcar 2020, I try to do 4funs, 20 are written and when training starts, there are no 5 people running, waiting for an update dedicated to this category that made me a loyal customer to Reiza and I am really disappointed with the physics of these cars, watching the Stock final, Stockcar needs special attention from Studio, we came to a decision to play AMS1 with Stockcar as it is by far more fun, and in AMS2 what is meant to be fun becomes stressful, I hope the Studio people read and try to do something with that category in this game, as it really is disappointing.

 

Now, I am back in cockpit
Here are some screenshots of my T150 settings. Hope someone can find a mistake why I don't have soft-lock, thanks.

 

Thanks for tip but no luck
Currently I am driving with F1 classic G3M1.
If I turn right the maximum of the car is about +200°. But with my T150 wheel there is no soft-lock at 200° I can turn it further (to 360° and more) without any change of force. If I let it free, the wheel automatically turns back to 200°.
It is a little bit annoying if I don't feel any lock. I think I am steering but the car doesn't. This happens most with karts with there steering lock at +/-90°.

 

I have the Thrustmaster TS - PC Racer and have the feelin,that the Soft-lock we once had is gone with latest update.

 

Hmmmm, sometimes, because of the way forces ramp-up perhaps a bit too dramatically as you approach steering lock, they overwhelm the forces the wheel can produce and it turns into a consistent force where you cannot feel the lock action. If the wheel returns to the soft lock position after you turn it too far, that may be the case as it is recognizing the lock.

Ways to test this are as @CrimsonEminence said, always use 100% in your control panel (unless it is one of those very weird TM wheels that needs 75% or some odd thing) and then lower the Gain in game well below normal levels--so the steering is too loose at centre. Can you now detect the lock?

Assuming no for the answer above and that you can tell your wheel is nowhere near full force as you cross the soft lock line, then it should be a simple reprogramming of the lock strength level (either by Reiza, or we may be able to do it ourselves). I said in another thread to try one of the popular custom files as a comparison. AFAIK, they all have a custom_lock_stop line that you can experiment with to see if cranking it up solves the problem.

Of course, if this is a known issue that at least two of you say it was there before but now is gone, then report it to Reiza immediately. A line or two of code could have just gone haywire in the last update (that did, again, affect FFB).

 

Really?. I have been playing AMS1 lately due to the new VR support someone provided. I have to say I found the V10 absolutely glued to the track in AMS1.

 

Did what @CrimsonEminence said, 100% in CP and reduced in game. I think I got an overall better FFB feeling but no soft-lock.
I never did something with custom FFB. May you think I can modify a code-line for soft-lock there?

 

IRL? on a public road Mount Panorama? Surely it was closed for you doing that time or was a 6:34

 

lol Shows my lack of info I was not aware if that. Always wanted to visit to see holdens running. Hotwired a cable tv setup back in the 80's and used to watch it, from uk.

top 5 times then, gen 2
Have fun and good w/end.

 

Found these lines in custom_ffb_txt-file

Changed many values (here are the original) but I just don't get the soft-lock to work.
May I do something wrong? Between changes I didn't restart AMS but switched "custom" to "default" and back to "custom" FFB. Nothing changed...

 

afaik, you have to restart the game to reread the custom FFB file.

 

If you are not getting soft lock on your wheel in either Default or at least two different custom files (restarting AMS 2 in between changing just to be 100% sure), butyou do get in AMS (1) and other titles, then there is an inherent problem with your wheel. Report it to Reiza!
