Automobilista 2 V1.3.4.0 RELEASED!

Is there an expectation for a person to hear a passing train whilst driving in a racing car? Wouldn't there be earplugs and a roaring racing engine with a straight piped exhaust? I don't get why this is even an issue.

I mean, sure it would be more realistic. But do we even have crowd noise? How is the train engine noise a priority? I mean there's got to be birds in them trees. Why aren't we hearing them singing? More loudly when its spring, and very quiet when it winter. How about bees? If I stop the car, find a flower - why isn't there a bee and accompanying sound effects? Sounds like someone is trying to make smth out of nothing.

 

F1 drivers have often said they can hear the crowd cheering above the engine noise as they drive past, I'd be in favour of that at some point in the future.

 

I don't think anyone even cares if the train makes a sound - even the people complaining about it! It's just complaining for complaining's sake.

I hope so anyway. People can't really be disappointed with that, can they?

 

Only ones I hear complaining about it are you and Dolph. The others were just discussing it. You guys need a break, you are getting too aggressive towards certain individuals that have differing opinions than your own.

 

Clipping comes far too soon with the Lolas. Reynard is good.

 

The diesel-electric engine in the train isn't fully simulated, game is TOTALLY unplayable! Going back to COD guys!

I was pleasantly surprised with the FUSA Gen 1 cars! They are pretty loose and you have to almost thread the needle when pushing in the cars. Even with a 120hp drop in power, these cars push pretty hard. They remind me of the old IDT mod for rF1 from YEARS ago!

Looking forward to driving them more!

 

No thanks, I like it here. You're happy to leave for a while though if you like. Take your mate. maybe when you come back you will be happier with the train.

 

I don't suppose anyone knows if the time issue with custom championships has been fixed? When you create one you can set the session times and when you do the first race it might use those times set but after that all sessions default to the race time you selected rather than the session times you setup.

 

Does this mean that this is planned to change in a future release or is this expected and we are expected to compensate in game car FFB settings instead?

 

Screw you, I like my choo choo's and I want them to have a good hooter.

I'm joking obviously, but I would like the train to have sounds if it's easy to do.

 

Let Reiza fix the audio pops and clicks before we start getting novelty audio please. But yeah I'm all for ambience sounds from trains, planes, birds and even the odd gasp or cheer from the crowd.

 

Hey man, so I get to mess around with the new ICM today and very disappointed. All I want is developers to fix the strategies created so that it is not out of order because we're using to macro to fetch the strategy with voice command. Look what happened once I created this list:

Once you're in the game and fiddling with the ICM menu...it disposition the strategies you created. #1 F. Suspension should stay at the top of the list, not jump to the bottom. When I first created it, it was at the top of list, now it's at the bottom. C'mon man, why can't you fix this. Not only is #1 F. Suspension out of order, it now doesn't list as front suspension for repair either when I checked it. It's just completely useless for macro and binding control.

 

With the old ICM menu the order changed when you edited a strategy.
I am a bit disappointed about the new ICM, so I stopped yesterday, I will check today if that still is the case
And to the dev's please make the ICM open in a default position at least. or make the strategies key assignable.
EDIT: Yep the order of the strategies is changed even without editing

 

Perhaps the train can have an occasional derailment? Would add a bit of spice to come roaring into the kink and there's a locomotive in the middle of the race track.

 

It only open in a default position at the start of a NEW race but once the ICM had been accessed, it will remember where you left off which defeat the purpose for macro (of course there is a way to resolve this, but I rather have the old ICM back if this isn't resolving the out of the order strategy created). For those that don't use macro, I doubt this will help much because when you're driving, you don't have time to move left, right up down to get where you want....lol. Macro and control binding is the only way to resolve this issue. If they let us assign a button to the strategy we created, that'll solve the problem.

 

Just managed to do a few laps on road America which I have been loving since it come out last time,

Love seeing it populated, looks more like I'm at race day.

I cant say ive watched a race their before (im downunder) but looks like there is room for more in the pits and crews there.

Good work Reiza only been playing this year but its my goto atm.

 

You can make your own macros. It's not very complicated once key the sequence is nailed down. I think CC website has an explanation (video IIRC) if you run into trouble

 

Helas, not possible at the moment. Something must be changed in the new ICM to make macro's work again
