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

That could explain some of pretty disappointing trash-ish feeling I got trying to run TT in the F-Reiza after latest "update" - as I reported above.
But none of us know for sure that you are right that a TT session now starts with a green track.

ByTheWay: Your point that it would (only) make sense if TT was run on optimal track state I can fully agree on

 

hmmm when and why was the option to bind TC removed? That seems like a sizeable step backwards.

For me the changes made to the ICM are not really an improvement. Its as unintuitive as it was before.

Why is Brake Bias the first thing I have access to when I can bind that? It's nice that it, fuel map and request pitstop are on the first page but, so should TC, ABS and ARB particularly TC since it can no longer be bound. I really think it would be much better with all of those functions on one TAB not as a sub menu and then all the strategy stuff on another.

 

Sorry, have not read all messages yet, but I do have a real problem:
Before the update I drove in Time Trial Mode at Snetterton 300 with the P3 Rocco001: 01:431xx
After the update I tried again. Result: 01:53xxx
Resettet to default setup, than loaded my Leaderboard setup.
What happend here and why?
Have to try other combinations to see if more has changed...

 

Probably these two changes:

In time trial, the track status is green, and the Roco had more tire grip in earlier versions.

 

I can confirm that with the Rocco I'm on P2 in this combination, but now I'm a lot slower than before.

 

Puma P052 on Nordschleife and 24h of Nurburgring need cleansing though as they are nearly a minute slower now.

 

We have a TT competition in our community where we ride a combination for 14 days to compete, now the update has poured some oil under our wheels ...

 

Please can someone tell me if people are actually setting up these so called slippery cars?



Even the BMW someone mentioned it wasn't too bad and it's like that in other titles. Not my fave anyway. But Porsche cup definitely worse. But broke my own rule and didn't set it up.

Can go over a big list of excellent setups and many defaults/track combos simply not possible 2 patches ago. And I am tuning out slippy cars VERY easily but remember I tune for track not overall. And of course setups function as you might expect these days. Can really dial it down to nuts and bolts nuance.

This update is a gold star. I doubt any SIM title leapt forward at much as this title did in two months... And remember how eventful 2020 was and race rooms shock revival.. Most cars compare favourable to race room and ACC where applicable. And asetto corsa. Rfactor2 I place in a different column.

Way I see it, right, the close rival is raceroom and this title just surpassed it on a technical level for driving. Rf2 can't be compared as they kind of cheat and software issues.

Cars can glide over ALL the track now, light steering, it's tactile without losing detail and at first I thought it too slippy myself but then I realised my old ams2 habits.

Jump in race room and I guarantee it's slippy as heck too. But when you guide the car that's when it's different. Same with rf2. Cars "slip" right off the track if you let them.

So my suggestion is to lower your force feedback for non open wheelers while picking different brake points and corner entry techniques.. And dial the setup in as it's worth it.... Where you accelerate is more important than ever now. Way better inertia feel... That's readily apparent on custom version 45. And default too. On custom MP4 96 pc... GT3...60ish... V10 100pc.. sigma 63, V8 75pc. Etc

Sounds counter intuitive but the game just got way more intricate and elegant at the same time. More layered and detailed and consistent.

Maybe I explained it wrong but the less ffb the better. Car steering should be fairly light most of the time. Such as why 1.1.1 you can glide all over the road. Don't be afraid to lift suspension height etc...telemetry is a great tool in game.

Thanks for responding Renato.

At least I didnt jump to the conclusion that TT tracks was now suddenly green after the upd.

But the reason I opened my mouth about the F-Reiza deroute is because I really loved this car before the "update".
And to the contrary of some of the posters who cannot feel any changes I SOLELY have run TT sessions with this car. Both because of its former behaviour - but ofcourse also because I can see the pretty positive LB results of my mastering of this car.

I guess that if you isnt able to constantly keep the car up on the sharp knife edge of tire/tarmac adhesion then you will probably not be able to feel any subtle change in the cars tm/physics.

The only thing I can report is that when I after setup reset + rebuilding is trying to run the car then the front of the car looses much more grip than before in both mid and high speed corners.
This change has probably nothing to do with diff changes because its both corners with almost full throttle but also corners where I before this upd could keep full control of the car via modulating the throttle.
This "playing with the throttle" thing is almost impossible now both because of the front grip thing - but also because the former joyfull anticipating (and throttle controlling) of the slight oversteer slide in mid/high speed corners have been changed to some abrubt ("digital") grip to nogrip sequence.

ByTheWay: Im not posting this because I want to sound "smart" and expert-ish but honestly because if this issue cannot be solved ("reset") then at least for me it will be a gamechanger.
As a proof of my almost 100% admiration of the FORMER F-Reizas (and F -V10-G1) physics you can easily find the lot of posts from me about the positive difference between AMS2 and almost all other racing sims.

@Renato Simioni
Hi Renato, one question, is it possible to have the ability to set custom TTs?
Or if it is possible to have them in the future?
Like setting your own private server, with its respective Time Trial?
Thank you
Miky

 

If I only run default setups when these updates arrive and state to reset defaults on certain cars do I need to or is that only if default has been changed? Asked same question and got response from good source on RD but wanting to confirm here. Absolutely loving the update and most notably the G40 Cup.

 

Have you tried increasing the Steering lock in the car setup from 25 to max 28 for me makes a big difference?
I really wish somebody among the sound guys could find some time and look into the sound balance of the Porsches.
The Gt3 and GT4 kerb sounds are barely audible compared to all other cars launched before while the two Carrera cars are much lower(pls guys do not tell me I can tweak the sounds in sound control panel because, I know I can, is not something I am willing to mess with and mess sound balance for all other cars just for the Porsches).
Also the M1 Procar has no sound when going over the kerbs.
I reported these bugs in 14th November last year!

Anyway really pleased here of the dev of the game, really like the new Ginettas, also I am really happy the sound balance for both is good.

 

The release notes say...

• Improved FFB damping function: it´s now non-linear with very little effect in small /slow steering inputs, more on really fast & bigger inputs

Does that mean we now need to change the Fanatec DD wheel FFB Linearity [LIN] to off or on??
