Automobilista 2 V1.3.4.0 RELEASED!

nice

Well done REIZA, great work, thanks a lot, just love the old Indy Cars

 

Doesn't that depend on whether the car has an onboard starter? If yes, you can start it after a stall. If not, then you are stuck? Or maybe that is only on full realism settings?

 

Take your helmet off

 

A big thanky thank you for the update in those hard times to the team especially to the russian and ukrainen members.
Дякую!/ Спасибі!
Dyakuyu!/ Spasibi!

 

At the start of a session the car auto starts even if setting is set to manual start.

 

You should post a few pictures, I'm sure the track art team would find it useful.

 

What? No sound nor rail vibrations through the motion system?
Total SimCade!

 

And another bug!
The F1 USA GEN1 does not appear in "sorted by type" - Formula.
But in "All (Alphabetical)" it is correct listed!

 

Yes, has always been that way

But can you not start the car out in the field if you stall?

 

There is no vr options for me while in game. I'm using track ir in steamvr mode. Could that be why?

 

That's a shame if the mirror adjustment is for vr headsets only. The mirrors are still off for everyone else too

 

Great update!
In the F-USA Gen3 Cars, there is no shadow in the car. The Sun shines on the legs.

 

Yes and it shouldn't be that way, should have to hit ignition then starter before being able to drive. Yes if the car has a starter I can restart it out in track.

 

The right foot of the driver model of the 95 reynard clips through some metal thing when the driver accelerates

 

Pretty sure at some point the proper manual start (as we had in AMS) will be activated. But not a priority compared to so many other things to fix or enable.

 

What a nice reference to Pinchcliffe Grand Prix (1975)!



(fun fact: that movie inspired Christian von Koenigsegg to make race cars for a living)

 

At some point, I would highly recommend that Reiza perform a special "Quality of life/small fixes" only. No new assets, no physics, etc... simple stuff like...

1. Respect the user setting for Manual start (ignition, then starter) for driving modes.
2. Hide the wheels that are supposed to be hidden to respect settings.
3. Save seat angle setting per car.
4. Allow any time of day in Test Day (not just hours, so we can catch nice sunsets)
4. Expose FFB effects as individual sliders instead all rolled up in 1.
5. Add high-beams or move lights up for night racing.
5. Replace loading scrolling tips at the top and use the empty space at the bottom of the screen instead to eliminate scrolling.
6. Replace loading screenshots with ultra-wide screenshots, and/or use a "crop"1 function instead of "fill" so the backgrounds don't get all stretch out on wide monitors.
7. Assign all ICM menu options, include Pit Strategies to specific buttons.
8. Being able to map TURBO increase/decrease to buttons if car allow such thing to be changed in real-time.
9. Split transmission/shifting audio levels on its own volume control it's way too loud on some cars, burying the engine sound.
10. Turn off telemetry movement/reset BEFORE exit a mode (test day, time trial, race) to avoid a motion rig to break in half each time you go back to the main menu.
11. Turn off motion telemetry BEFORE replays (completely un-usable for me)
12. Reduce the mega strong, unrealistic surge during shifting on F-USA cars, 3x stronger than the all the cars with the most torque.
13. Make all dashboard needles work on all cars.
14. The cars using odometer, should track all distance traveled with the cars (some do this really well already).

I could add many more examples of small fixes...

I truly adore this sim and want it to succeed at all costs, thus why I'm always tracking and finding ways to improve it. The devil is in the details...
