    I love the fact that this is even a thing:
    • Fixed bug in intake manifold pressure model causing poor throttle response in several cars
    I think it is great that this is even modeled.

    Useful feedback would be better than simply saying it's just sh1t. What is the issue? What bothers you?

    Sorry for being negative, but I have to confess I grew so tired of the AI (and other issues) that I unninstalled AMS2 a few weeks ago, but I still have high hopes for the future of this sim due to the effort that Reiza keeps putting into it so I keep visiting this forum almost every day to follow it's development...

    Unfortunately I don't see anything on the AI fixes of this patch that would fix my biggest problem with the AI, which is them often forcing themselves to the outside line just before a corner, and in this process ramming wathever car might stand in their way (player or AI). Spa just before Les Combes corner is one of the main offenders of this issue.

    I also don't see anything here that seems to fix the long known issues with the McLaren GT3.

    There's so much about AMS2 that I enjoy but there's also so much that frustrates me (AI, AI and AI) that I'd rather wait how many months necessary for the main issues to be fixed before I install it again. I grew tired of being frustrated with my overall bad experiences almost everytime I drove AMS2.

    Again, sorry for being negative in a new patch thread... I guess I was expecting more progress when it comes to AI development. The AI in AMS1 was so good :(

    I'm very happy, thank you Devs.

    Have just done a couple of quick tests at Spa and Interlagos. Nighttime driving with my usual settings and a full grid has just become an option. I'm seeing a significant improvement in performance. I probably need to dial back the number of AI by 3 or 4 for really smooth results but overall this is great sign. More of these performance passes please!

    Obviously I still think new AA+FSR is a winning combination, but this update is a great improvement on the tracks I've tested so far. Thank you again.
