Automobilista 2 V1.1.4.0 RELEASED - Now Updated to v1.1.4.5

Had a blast driving early Retros on various old tracks yesterday vs the AI. I was pleasantly surprised to see Renato joining several races, and I quite enjoy how the AI drivers race hard but clean. There's none of the PC2 paranoia where you get manhandled from behind if you are .5 MPH too slow in a corner.

Good stuff!

 

What is the correct procedure to completely wipe all AMS2 saved data......cheers

 

Mechanical steering.

 

Hi mate, I can't confirm this, but I believe it was introduced in the early 2000s. Period when Stock Cars had major changes like tubular chassis and V8 engine for example.Sorry, but it is difficult to find this information, since for each season, a new technical regulation.

 

Hello folks, just quickley popped in here and had a quick scan through. See folks are talking about deleting their Doc's folder again, have i missed summit here? I've now simraced for over a week now but, I know recent updates have not required that, but are folks doing it anyway and getting good results?

 

Nope. I've deleted mine only once in the entire time between alpha testing and today.

Delete only if you are having a problem that cannot be resolved in any other way unless you enjoy the tedium of setting up all your controllers and configurations over and over

Most car-related problems can be solved by resetting the individual car set-up back to default in the UI. If that doesn't work and multiple cars are giving you issues, you can just delete the car set-ups folder and not the entire AMS 2 folder. That folder is here:

\Documents\Automobilista 2\savegame\nnnnnnnn\automobilista 2\tuningsetups

 

Ok brilliant, i've been off the scene for over a week now so cheers for confiming that!

 

And, also, if you are having FFB issues, same process. Just delete the "ffb_custom_settings.txt" file in the top-most folder so it can be recreated. No need to delete everything else.

If you are having controller issues, just delete the controller config file and not everything else. It is here:

\Documents\Automobilista 2\savegame\nnnnnnnn\automobilista 2\profiles\default.controllersettings.v1.03.sav

 

What if you just have, well, issues??? Still can't find the damn "Nutcase" folder to delete anywhere!

 

I don't know if this is the right place to post but anyways. I've started racing on wet weather lately and I've noticed that for the modern stock cars the wipers animation is out of sync with the water disappearing. It only happens with the modern stock cars 2018-2020, all other cars I've tested are fine.
Already reinstalled, checked files with steam but nothing's changed.
Anyone has the same issue?

 

@Renato Simioni is there a possibility to get the Race Sim Studio F1 cars in Automobilista 2? maybe as a Paid DLC? I would love to have those cars in AMS2, they drive, look and sound amazing, I would happily pay for it. specially with SHR sound mod for the formula 1 cars.

 

It's a great idea but just seems rather unlikely, given that we already have very solid representations of many of RSS's offerings (save for the GT pack, come on Reiza we're THIS close to a modern GTR2, 2000s GT would be the perfect addition )

 

Now that you mention it: Wet weather racing in this game could be perfect, but it just falls short for me at the moment, and I've tested it quite extensively over the last few days.

Thing is this: The visuals don't match the grip levels on a drying track. Slicks provide far too much grip too early (tbh they generally provide far too much grip in the wet - on a rain-soaked track with slicks (weather was rain, not "light rain") I lost only about 7-8 seconds a lap, which didn't feel accurate: Slicks should have a far more significant grip drop-off on a completely wet track.

Being able to drive fastest laps when the track only had the barest inkling of a dry line wasn't great either.

Also, it should be far, far, far more harmful to leave the dry line. As of now, barely anything happens in terms of grip, it's all quite "tame".
