Automobilista 2 V1.2.2.0 RELEASED!

Aha,that's the point!
An old prover says: "If you don't have a clue, just shut up."

 

That's rather dumb. I am new to sim racing and hope some people here know exactly what car should do. I would like to know too.

 

Then it is better not to compare car X from Sim Y with car A from Sim B and then make a conclusion that sim isn't right. More coffee...

 

Any thoughts on the changes they made to the GROUP A cars? Before the update, the Mercedes-Benz DTM was outstanding, and i really mean outstanding!! After update it feels like they are way off again!

 

The Porsche RSR has very similar behaviour to the Raceroom version, for the most part, but in Raceroom the oversteer when it happens feels more natural, while in AMS2 it can be a bit "unannounced" almost, like sometimes the front tires will suddenly grip when you don't excpect them to, in the middle of a corner... even then the cars in both sims have more in common than I tought they would have and I enjoy them both but slightly prefer the Raceroom version.

The Salvador track is a welcome addition. I have fond memories of racing this track in several AMS1 championships and it was fun.

Unfortunately the Mclaren GT3 still feels like a fantasy car to me...

 

At least I tried to sidestep this forced "destroying" of my controller settings by saving the default.controllersettings.v1.03.sav in Documents before the upd.
But even after I had re-copied this backup back after the upd then this also became "destroyed" first time I started AMS2 up after the upd.
Probably because Reiza want to be absolutely sure you cannot re-use your old settings.

ByTheWay: And I can tell you that because of my pretty special 100% handcontrolled wheel it takes more than 1H to calibrate it to something useable.
Because I both have to undercalibrate the 100% range and then tweak the 90 degr movement to make the total wheel range pretty unlinear.

 

Then i must have misinterpreted, ‘enough of cars & tracks’‍♂️

 

I will echo the sentiments about the old RSR having unpredictable and unnatural feeling lift-off oversteer in low-speed corners.

 

Only AMS2, could you get this polar opposite reaction.
I just took the RSR for a first spin around Spa (modern), and I'm saying I'm more aligned with buddhatree.
Thought it was fantastic once the the tires were warm. Everything I was expecting from a mid 70's tin top.

Thank you Reiza for another great update!

 

Thank you REIZA to bring back one of your roots !
Great work

 

It seems wall riding is fast in AMS2 TT, 2nd place at Salvador in the 74 RSR rides turn 2 and is clearly gaining plenty of time.

 

I wanted to try out R3E new ffb(which is excellent, new ui is really helpful too) so I did a little A/Bing between the 911 GT3 R. It's basically exactly as you describe with those two cars as well. There are lots of similarities between how the two feel, but in AMS 2 things seem more unpredictable. The way the front suddenly almost violently finds grip and drags you in a direction in low speed corners and on corner exit can be quite unnerving.

Overall I find when I jump into the car/s in R3E I feel comfortable far sooner and pushing the car to best of my limited ability is less terrifying. In AMS 2 I'm always nervous, races in particular are much more clench inducing affairs. No idea which is the more realistic of the two. Anyway today I will spend some time dialing in the default ffb and trying to dial in a custom profile to see if I can mitigate some of my issues that way.

 

I have spend the weekend with a 1982 Porsche 911 SC, it's not that exagerated at all, particularly not on a dry road. Your're simpy NOT catching the rear all the time at slow speed with low to no power input.

Again I found the default settings simply bad, this time including the gear ratios which are out of spec. for any of the 915/x type gearboxes.

This AMS2 RSR 3.0 is, again, like the Carrera Cup and GT4 Cayman, a car which does in no way resemble the real cars, is just insanly uncomfortable/difficult to drive, and can't be repaired by a better setup, because the even the OEM vales are locked.

Try better, and I may be back next month.

Until them, I'm out, lookign for a better Simulator. I am losing patience and confidence with Reiza and AMS2.

 

Has anyone started a custom championship since the update? I did tonight and the practice and qualifying sessions default to the race start time, nothing you can do changes it.

 

And I suppose they haven't fixed the, the obligatory stop. I haven't been able to prove it yet.

 

It is still greyed out when you choose a timed race.
