Automobilista 2 V1.3.4.0 RELEASED!

It must be a huge one, Renato is proofreading it for 2 days or so now......i am curious to hear about what gets delayed or released next, i sincerely hope that historic spa wont be delayed, but little over 3 weeks to go till the end of Q1, so they got some time.

 

...wrong - in his mind.

 

Just some feedback on the 1995 season cars:

Actual full season entries (27):
Lola-Ford 9
Lola-Mercedes 4
Penske-Mercedes 3
Reynard-Ford 9
Reynard-Honda 1
Reynard-Mercedes 1

AMS2 cars (23):
Lola-Ford 4
Lola-Mercedes 10
Reynard-Ford 4
Reynard-Honda 1
Reynard-Mercedes 4

I respect the fact that these were rushed out, but a few notes:
- Makes sense that the Penskes are represented by Reynards to balance out the field
- The #22 car exists in both Lola-Ford and Reynard-Mercedes cars
- On the #14 Lola-Merc it says Ford on the car
- On the #31 Lola-Merc it says Honda on the car
- On the #33 Lola-Merc it says Ford on the car
- In real full season the Lola-Ford's out ranked Lola-Mercedes 9 to 4, but in AMS2 they are the opposite 4 to 10. This will be a problem when making realistic skin packs. May I suggest switching this to better reflect the 1995 season?
- Maybe have 2 Reynard-Hondas: Johnstone+Ribeiro

 

Yesterday he said it will be published tomorrow, which is now today. I know this is complicated but that isn't two days. The good news is that tomorrow it will be two days so if it isn't published by then you can come back and complain. Yay you!

In other good news, there is every chance that some content will be delayed - it was already mentioned that a couple of devs have other stuff going on, selfishly preoccupied with wars and stuff. It's a bummer I know, you think that the least they could do would be to find a safe place with an internet connection and knuckle down on finishing that old Spa track, but at least you get something else to complain about - so it's not all bad.

 

I see where you're coming from, but you can't blame Reiza for problems with a 3rd party app. Especially in this case. The gain for players using ICM is huge.

 

Yeah, my bad, it seemed longer ago to me.

And im not complaining, i can go on road america and watch the worlds first ingame Tesla Train, which is nice and quiet, and a nice attention to detail, hopefully they add sound to that, would really complete the experience.

 

The train has sounds

 

Not on my end, is it attached to music volume then maybe?

 

No, it‘s really on his PC. He wrote in another thread:
„I´ve just finished writing the Dev Update but I want to sleep on it tonight for a proof read in the morning. It should be published sometime tomorrow.“

 

The old ICM calling buttons still work though. You may leverage on that.

 

Are YELLOW flags still working?? (obviously not blue as vid titled

Ranked race. Ai and players online 100/100 ai still slow on turn in even here on oval, caused 2 crashes same race. -F-usa gen 1

 

Lol

 

Yes but everyone who was not using CC macros was hating the old ICM. Now you can actually do change something without ending your race into the wall before the changes are done

 

Yah, I don't think there should be any/much difference between the two chassis, so that lighter one likely to get tweaked in next update.

But overall, CART historically and the current Indycars have the heaviest steering of any race car (as mentioned above--huge tires, manual steering, high down force).

 

I don't have music while driving I don't know I just went to the wall to see it and could here a low res sample of the train passing by, it's a one time thing anyway you will see it briefly at 200mph and nothin more. I mean it's cool and love the livery but this is for racing

 

Ok, yeah i turned off the ingame music completely, so it might be attached to that, or another sound channel i might need to turn up to hear it then

 

having looked at the behaviour of the new ICM, there's no way I can automate it any more in its current state without a bunch of stuff being added to shared memory.

- Each menu page wraps vertically - I can't know where the cursor is
- Items not selectable are skipped when navigating, so it's an unknown number of up/down presses to get from the top to the bottom (depending on what's allowed in the session)
- Strategy, Tyre type and Request Pit wrap horizontally (the menu just goes round and round when you keep pressing in one direction), so I can't put it to a known position
- Other items (fuel, driver swap, mixture etc) *don't* wrap horizontally (better, but why the inconsistency?)
- When pressing esc or menu timeout, the next time you open the menu the cursor position and page tries to resume from where it was - the app would need to hold what it thinks the menu page and position are and this is probably linked to the session, will be way too easy for CC and the menu state to drift / become unsynchronized


All in all, I can see that the menu is slightly better when clicking through it but the changes make any kind of macro / automation approach impossible. Sorry guys, I'm going to have to remove that feature from CC's AMS2 support

 

Hopefully we will see the Dev Update soon.

I just want to stress my opinion on the content releases.
Right now there is so much content in the game that I think everyone no matter taste could be happy regarding both tracks and cars. I would be happy with the games variety if someone told me that no further cars or tracks will be added.
What i would like to see is a focus on bugfixes, AI, physics update and especially the Multiplayer.

 

Absolutely, there are still some longstanding bugs in there, on the other hand there are people who bought dlc that is not completely done, so that makes it difficult prioritizing, maybe the best thing they can do is release the stuff thats delayed a long time, such as the historic tracks, then focus on the stuff you mention, while extending the season pass, to give themselves more time to get up to speed with everything.
