Automobilista 2 V1.3.8.1 Oficially Released - Now Updated to V1.3.8.3

Unfortunately, this issue (AI not changing tires) continues to plague race sessions. Specifically, I'm talking about tire changes that happen when I'm transferring control of the car to the AI co-driver prior to a pit stop.

I have just tested this with the latest build and recorded a video for reference. Setting are:

• Spa, GT4 class
  
• Fuel usage real
• Tire wear 5x

I set my car's fuel to only last 2 laps. Please disregard my very poor driving as I was trying to lock the wheels intentionally in order to increase wear. Prior to enter the pits, I have verified strategy to include tire changes, and enabled driver swap.

Timestamps of interest:

• At 6:58, notice my pitstop settings, and the tire wear on the lower right hand side. It's hard to see but the telemetry shows they are at roughly 97%
• At 7:55, the crew starts the tire change. Animation shows they are supposed to be doing it
• At 8:20, the pitstop is complete, but the "new" tires show the exact same wear as the ones that were supposed to be replaced.

This is obviously irrelevant when your tires are almost new like in this example video - but this makes endurance races impossible to handle. In my experience, after driving the car for about an hour and coming to the pits to replace them and swap to AI, what happens 100% of the time is that the AI will leave the pits with the tank full but dead tires, which forces them to come back the next lap just for the tire change. This is obviously a deal breaker for endurance.

Hope this helps the team to track down the issue...

 

Since Reize like to give out free tracks, can we get Banochbrae from Pcars 2? That track is the sickest track of any racing game, it's got good awesome view of the water, it runs through hills, mountain and then tunnels. All these within a single track, you can't beat that!

 

The new updates to the Formula Vee combined with Buenos Aires...

*Chef's kiss*

C'est magnifique...
Me encanta mucho este combinación.

My tires weren't happy, but I sure was!

 

I realy love the changes, thanks to the guys from reiza.
I'm now almost exactly 1 year in simraicng and i think AMS 2 made the bigest stepps forward in this time from all sim's i know.
there is realy a lot of passion in this team,

 

You mean ams2 was just iracing, with iracing physics

 

So I'd figure the June devlog is going to be a July devlog now?
That aside, tested more of the new content, all of it feels sublime now, especially the Procar

 

Make them English rather than British - ready for Knockhill and Anglesey additions.

 

But, All the time in PCARS2 I was onyl able to really enjoy Banochbrae in an Aston Martin or Jaguar. But all we have is McLarens

 

So there are other layouts, like 10, 11, 13, 14?

 

I doubt it. SMS got bought by CM, CM got bought by EA, imagine the hell Reiza would have to go through to license that track. FYI SMS couldn't include street tracks from the Shift games in PCars because EA owned the license for those tracks.

Right now there's 6 layouts: 6S, 7, 8, 9, 12, 15. See them in the video below:

 

Yes there are and have been various layouts. More info here:

Buenos Aires

Currently major layout missing is 5.

Others are past layouts not actively used anymore.

 

That's what I love about Buenos Aires; these "alternate layouts" are actually different racetracks with completely different characteristics, from the high speed No. 12 and the quick, short blast of No. 7, to the very tight and twisty No. 6S.

It's like we've gotten at least three new racetracks in one with this - and another two for good measure, as well.

 

Just tested new update. We are very close to heaven. Copa cars are now exceptional. All update cars feel amazing. Thank you good job!

 

Wasn't Le Mans in Argentina?

 

I stand corrected

 

Thanks Reiza!

There is one thing, devs should have an eye on: Whilst physics were changed for most cars throughout the years, they should not forget to work on the simplified physics of the AI. On certain tracks, player has to fight for grip in some sectors, while the AI can push through like on rails.

 

Okay, gotcha cheers

 

Still impossible to change steering wheel control preset in race!!!! Serious, it's really hard to put that
