Automobilista 2 V1.1.1.0 RELEASED - Now Updated to V1.1.1.3

I just did a steam integrity check and it downloaded 167 mb.. I wonder what that is. Everything feels fine..

 

Good to see the Porsche GT1 not pulling left on the Kemmel straight..

 

Something wierdo just happened to me. Going down into ER in the GT1 there was a little touching with one of the Ai cars beside me. When this happened I lost all FFB. I then exited and went to a test day and still no FFB. Game restart fixed it. Never had that one before..

 

P1 G58 still feels great. Probably my favourite car..

Can't do those times out the gate anymore which I think is a good thing. Now the Ai and I are on very similar pace at the beginning of the 60 min session. Mid 2:10's. They finish up on high 2:08's. Once ER is sorted for them I don't think I can match them at this skill level with the default setup.

Add: The MetalMoro's at 120% are doing 2:02's early in the session which is on WR time although I suspect those older LB times can't be matched now..

Nice one..

Next test: Formula V10 Gen 2 at Bathurst as previously before it was near impossible to put that thing in the wall even if I tried my hardest on the out lap and with TC off(?) (100%)..

 

nah I went to the pub.. those were the days..

I tried to paint the walls but couldn't..

It's probably a touch more tail happy than I remember it. Lateral tyre load feels a little less. Maybe the default setup is very safe.. Maybe (as some have suggested) TC off is not fully off.. Maybe downforce is king.. Maybe I have no clue how to go sideways..

maybe.. maybe.. maybe..

Dunno.. Who here has driven a early 2000's F1 car..?

Still a fun car to drive..

 

I can't get anywhere near my three GT1 time trial times at Bathurst with my existing setups.

It doesn't bother me however I suspect the LB may need to be reset. I think I will claw some time back with setup adjustment however I cant see myself getting all that time back with the lower grip we have today. For me it is not a few tenths and more closer to 1.5-2 seconds..

Anyone know who "The Nemisis 69" is because he has a lot of WR's and it would be interesting to get his thoughts.. Is that you @nemesis ?

 

Don't know him personally, but he is a driver on eSports level. 5th in the euro Shadow competition. So "true" alien grade.^^

 

I like that..

If this guy can't touch all his records it's fairly safe to say they need a reset..

 

Thanks. Isn't that for custom ffb files..?

 

That would explain the ffb switch off. I think briefly our tyres touched. It's a tricky one because tyres can touch and it wouldn't be fun being in the middle of a long race and then the ffb turns off..

Maybe they can figure out how to switch it back on after the triggered event..

Anyway it's not such a big deal for me..

 

Just a note on the FFB loss issues - as explained in previous posts, this is a paliative measure for the bug that previously caused the wheel to pull hard to one side; a proper solution to the bug is still being pursued, we hope to have some developments here for our next major update later this month.

A smaller hotfix is currently undergoing beta testing and it should roll into release soon.

 

V1.1.1.1 is now live- this is a hotfix to complement our latest release with some further improvements & corrections.
