Automobilista 2 V1.3.1.1 & Racin´ USA Pt2 RELEASED - Now updated to V1.3.2.0

no need. i am not cranky. I just say what I think, but everything is fine.

 

thank you for the news and for the communication.

 

Im even more excited about new builds than I am content, not that im not excied about new content, but im content enough just to have a new build (did I say "content" enough there?), as new builds improve the fundamental elements of the sim, sometimes to cars and track specifically, but even better the seemingly little changes that make a massive improvement to my enjoyment of the sim as a whole! So im very happy to hear this news, and i know it give the team a rest, so coming content can be more polished.

Its like a little thing I found out today which made me very happy indeed! Last time I ran a race with extreme tire wear (x5) none of the A.I. pitted for tires, i even posted somewhere about it, but it was a while back. Today I ran one to just test out some ideas on tire where in general, and bang! Once my tires were shot, the A.I. were pitting for theres around the same time i did, BRILLIANT! I don't know if i did summit wrong first time i tried this, or if it has actually been implimented in recent updates, but I dont really care, I love that it works now!

Im really hoping at some point we get punctures!

Anyway, V much look forward to the new build tomorrow, reading through the patch notes of a new build (especially if theres something specific Im looking for to see if its been fixed or improved) is like looking through a bag of goodies for a part that completes something you've been building, I love it!

Bravo Reiza! Enjoy the Crimbo hols!

 

Take the time you and the whole team need, you all have that coming
It's a day to early, but have a happy new year!

 

Yes please! Seconded!

 

it is also public holiday time to which everyone is entitled, which you are conveniently ignoring along with this is not just an object type product we are talking about but a highly technical one carved with minds not tools with a completely different kind of production scheme.

 

You know, I'd like to point this out as nicely as I can. We all love AMS2, we all appreciate that Reiza are a small team, we all know it was Christmas and some patience can obviously be expected.

That being said, we are customers and Reiza are not a charity. Can we stop replying to people posting questions like they are banging on a soup kitchen door asking for seconds.

People should be able to ask about upcoming content they've bought or share their opinions without being told off, for daring to post anything other than Reiza bow emojis and praise.

Working over the Christmas period, even on Christmas day, never bought me immunity from customer expectations and I certainly never begrudged it. If I had a demanding customer, other clients in the group would sometimes even point out that it was Christmas, implying that any variance in the quality I delivered could be understood or accepted... I, quietly, felt more aggrieved by that than the person who came expecting my best based on what I said I would deliver.

The point is this: Reiza set their own deadlines, I doubt they need others to excuse them, Christmas or no.

 

I really like this description reguardless of context. I think it pretty much sums up most serious sim racing titles these days, the sheer complexity of these programs is emense! Infact its simply astonishing!. This also may be out of context to the thread, but im gunna say it anyway.... Im fecking loving the F'ing tits off of this sim right now!

 

Thanks Renato for the update.

I would like to remind everybody involved this is a international forum. This implys here are several people from totally different cultural backgrounds. As an Argentinian co-worker gave me a hint several years ago. In Argentina they have a saying tranlanted into english as "tomorrow" - a response for any time frame related question. Nobody in Argentina, according to him, would really expect something on the next day. The person may say tomorrow but rather imply a occurence in the undefined "near" future. On the other hand in Japan the person would very likely loose his face or even worth for not deliver the promised thing on the following day.

In my experience as a rule of thumb. People from colder countries have a more strict approach, while peoples from countries with warmer weather tend to be more ambigious/relaxed.
With this said - in my opinion - for international communication it is key to understand different mind sets and adjust communication accordingly.

I could and would also like to write something about the odd claims here in the froum related to software development, team sizes and time frames. I work in the software industry for serveral years and I will say this: It is easily possible to repeatedly hit a dead line (without crunch). Why it isn't possible for AMS2 on the other hand is impossible to say from the outside and would require deeper knowledge on the developement prozess at Reiza. Of course I have a guess, but would rather keep that for myself.

 

I literally just typed basically all of this and then deleted it, because of wasted breath reasons.

 

I most certainly did, ambient was alot lower, but the track,,, Sizzle, ouch!

 

All good bud, I'm happy to take the hate this time, next one is on you.

 

Haha I’ve given you a medal for courage under fire. All that snow’s gone to our head, clearly…

 

@Bizarre Formula @Demeisen while I agree with you guys on some extent on the other side I think you guys are here for some time already to know how Reiza works.

Here we are quite used to delays (some minor some not) but we know Reiza will deliver what promised so I would politely suggest to not worry too much and don't be too upset and enjoy the Christmas mood.

Rest assured Reiza will let know us what is happening (and why) very soon and I can sense will be good too even if a bit later than promised.

 

As an argentinian, I 100% confirm what your co-worker said to you

And yes, it's a problem when dealing with foreign people about time frame related questions if you are not accostumed for.

 

Watching this thread descend into madness over a delay, already knowing I was gonna be away from home this weekend.

Give the Reiza devs some slack, we all miss deadlines, and it's the holidays, they deserve a break.

Anyway, hope you all have had a lovely Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanza, Boxing Day, etc. and have a good new year. In the meantime, I'm trading my cold climate simrig shed for a flight to warmer weather for a few days.

 

Just watched your video on tyre temps and GTE. It’s something I’ve been toying with, but you handled the testing so much better than me! And I hope you get many more subscribers this year Paul. You totally deserve it for all your hard work. It’s a really great channel you’ve got going there.
