Automobilista 2 V1.3.5.1 Officially RELEASED - Now Updated to v1.3.5.2

The impact of tire heat on overall grip is very different for the player vs. AI right now--so one of them is off.

 

Well the modders have beaten Reiza to it

 

Something I've always wondered too is, is there something about Madness that seemingly makes it tougher to mod than say, gMotor or AC's engine? (Assuming that's the reason that Madness games get hardly any mods compared to AC1 or the rF series/GTR2/etc)

 

i wonder if modders can also add new models to the same class. For example, adding the current Ferrari F1-75 to the Formula Ultimate Gen 2 roster, with the very same physics to keep it balanced

 

The "street" 992 was already available on projectcarsmodding, but I'm looking forward to this! This gem sits quite high on my wishlist, nestled among the likes of a Tatuus F4 and other wet dreams like Sebring. ("Already present in other sims?!" I know, but my eyes can only take so much of rF2, R3E's VR situation gives me a bad case of the 'roids, and AC's content manager keeps needing input of some sort and also forgets keybindings and such, all the time!)

 

I've heard that mod tracks are not possible, something related to LiveTrack3.0 but I'm not sure about the details.

 

Same as it was not possible to create night and day in AC. Except SOL.

If livetrack could be disabled, then it could work, right?

 

Speaking of AC, SOL, and CSP...

AMS2 could use some more flexible camera controls. As convenient as the basic camera options are currently, there's no room for users to make interesting content of their own outstide of photomode. While photomode can have some great results, it's absolutely nowhere as close to the more realistic options of the CSP camera.


At least some sort of freecam/drone cam option in the race replay would be nice. The current options of onboard and trackside cams are pretty limiting.

 

Plus there's a strange bug I've noticed for a while where in practice mode (not sure about races) sometimes if you turn replay mode on without ending a session it suddenly launches you into the End Of Session screen despite the session having not ended

 

It's been 5 years and nobody's released any PC2 track mods yet. As far as mods in sims go, unless assets from AC are compatible with AC2, AC will stay on top.

 

There is a free cam. You need to go in the chase view, enter photo mode, and then you can move the camera around with the keyboard. It's how you get screenshots like this:

 

With more tubers trying to promote from seeing how good it has become and as a main advert for the sim It would help a lot.

In Replay mode Worse still they dont stick to the selected cam at most (all )tracks and go into random. Drone cam is good but speed control of zooming as its too fast, would help + focus is out on the zooming in/out. selecting the drone cam you want seems random and could be better, ie selecting the drone that is from distance and tracks car from distant side view (helecam) is a good view but switching to find it is a pain and random.
@azaris yes the screenshot photo mode is good inc now with filters #801 which has some nice effects.
Its just the replay cams for me that need a look, optimisation(getting them working correct at all tracks) and then could be improved further after optimisation

 

Thats not what I mean. What I meant
is thats the engine developers choice to leave these options out.

 

I meant a free cam that works in video mode. I know there's a free cam for photo mode.

 

Completely understand the WIP status. I had a feeling that the colours were changing at different temps in the latest release? I could be wrong, but I don't think they went yellow at 80C in earlier versions.
This could be giving the impression that tyres are heating up more, when it's just a change to HUD

 

Check out the procedure to put mods in the game, like for instance the 992 mentioned above. You will have your answer

 

Not exactly a free cam, but in the replay screen if you choose the trackside camera, the +/- keys on the keypad will scroll through a range of cameras not available in the standard replay. Some are revolving cameras that move around the car. It's how you get screens like this.

 

These Fly-by shots cameras are amazing!
