Automobilista 2 V1.3.0.0 RELEASED - Now updated to V1.3.0.1

So, the issues seem especially prevalent in GT cars and are heavy at Monza (which I suspect is a not so well performing track).

Some optimisation would be very helpful, because currently I can't race online, being up to 10 seconds a lap slower just because of straight line speed.

EDIT: Same issues at Spielberg/Formula 3/20 drivers. Lost 7 seconds on the straight. This is definitely new; I was in lobbies like this before and it was fine.

 

Anyone know how to access this? I could not work it out.

 

Edit the HUD and select the Full tacho option at the lower right corner.

 

During a session press ESC and go to option. Bottom right is the HUD configurator. On the bottom right of the configurator is the tacho and you have to set it to FULL

 

Thanks guys, hows that for teamwork, three of you onto it!

RIP Sir Frank. Know what I’ll be racing today.

 

Here's a non-critical bug for you. I re-loaded my car mods last night with the slightly older Bootfiles. All cars (mods and standard content) lost their ability to accelerate. The only way I could fix it was to completely re-install the sim . There's a new Bootfile (1.30) available at project cars modding team

 

I did a few laps with the F3-309, I can still slide the car around if I'm too aggressive with my inputs but the new default setup definitely feels better than the previous one.
I tried the new full tachometer but I preferred the minimal tacho, reason being the minimal version shows tyre temp & wear graphic, maybe Reiza could implement that graphic in the full tacho?

 

Just been able to sit down for the first time since the update. Whatever you guys have been putting in your coffee I hope you've got plenty more because the improvements are excellent!
Im not going to add to the superlatives that are much in evidence since the update, suffice to say that youve earned them all with bells and little christmas lights on.
Brand and reputation secured I would say.

 

I'm a simple man, so I'll simply say thank you, Reiza. Having a blast.

Actually no! I was distracted I think I can safely assume that its all good now on the evidence Ive seen so far! Very impressive! I did actually try out the 720S and the thought of doing donuts didnt even occur to me. Some very good reasons why mostly involving me going "Ooooh" and "Aaaahhh" and and "Wow" a lot..

 

I would just like, without falling into controversy, to point out that if Ams2 was the true reproduction of reality before this version, how can it now be much better than before and ding and dang, Geronimo, O my Goood?
....Especially when to say it are the same people who undermined the opinions of those who tried to shed light on the facts that something wrong in the driving model ..

Anyway, kisses and hugs.
p.s.
Balance is the best way.

 

I also tried out the Formula Trainer and everything about it seems better! The audio, mass, response, you name it. I liked it before but now it links up very well with my expectations derived from 30 years of driving. I can relate to the experience and say to myself, yup thats what I expected.

 

Plenty of people bent a lot of noses out of shape on this forum pointing out that things were off. Those same people hopefully can and will now come back and give praise where its equally due. And Im always up for hugs and kisses
