Automobilista 2 V1.4.1.0 Released - Now Updated to V1.4.1.3

Speaking of AMDM (which is awesome) will all car classes get the feature in the future?

 

No one has been able to give me a straight answer on this. The devs seem to think it has an open diff but it drives nothing like that.

 

Well it drives like it has a solid axle... on the front wheels. Turning the steering wheel has almost no relevance as to turning the car and as soon as you get on the brakes it just goes straight like a dump truck. The only way to turn is to spin up the rears up and push it through corners on throttle. It's bizarre. "Drives" nothing like a car.

 

I know this doesn't affect the performance of the car, but for the love of god are the tire colors in the F Reiza ever going to be fixed? It's been 2 and a half years since full release.

 

The F-Reiza and the F-Ult G1 both need updating: the F-Ult has no tire color rings at all currently and the Reiza has them in the wrong place (they should be on the outside of the tire rather than inside)

 

For me on a normal DD1 wheel it does not weave at all..

 

Adding tyre decals in theory should be easy and fast to do... definitely something that should be ready on all cars by now.

I wonder if there is actually something hindering this, or if Reiza just don't want to bother with it for now. Something like the whole art team dedicated to make the official liveries for the current gen IndyCar + Indianapolis

 

I have a question about taking Radilion and Eau Rouge at Spa. In the GTE Porsche I can take it full out on a light rubbered road with 0 rear wing. Now I understand it is possible to take it flat out I am not wondering about that. I suspect based on incidents that have happened there though that it really shouldn't be this easy for me to take it full out with zero wing without any fear of the car losing it.

GTE cars have a lot of downforce I get that but should it not be at least marginally scary to take that stretch on a light rubbered road with 0 wing? Even with cold tires it was like nothing. I honestly don't know what kind of rear wing real life cars use there so it may just be that other sims have it wrong.

 

So what you are saying is that ams2 needs stock car light…

 

Yeah fair enough. It was a bit surprising in that some of the other corners at Spa I do get a bit of an "oh crap" moment with zero wing so I guess I just expected that section to be scarier. I wasn't suggesting it was zero downforce btw, just stating the wing I was using.

 

I mean, to be fair, it's surprising that it isn't present right now, it only makes sense if you have the license of a big name local series to put the feeder series in too

Plus maybe getting a model upgrade to the 2020-22 Stock Cruze would be nice, it looks prettier than the real thing admittedly but it's nowhere near accurate (the IRL Cruze has a sort of droopy silhouette car look to it which AMS2 lacks, iRacing's version represents that look better I feel, and also the Corolla is much more accurate it seems so there's no issues I can find with that one, it's just the Cruze that's not quite right)

 

Hmmm. Looking at the pics from @CatAstrophe05 it looks like the Cruze needs to be chopped and channeled.

While they're at it, may as well de-chrome, French the headlights, louvre the hood, install some Lake pipes, and give it some wide whitewalls, moon hubcaps, and chrome trim rings!

 

The cars might be looking different because the ams2 screenshot has a higher fov (compare the angle of the rear wing), and the lighting is different. They might be different though but I have no idea.

But i do agree that the models could be improved, especially the interior where the buttons for p2p dont work.

 

Field Notes:

There's nothing wrong with the Porsche Cup cars, they're great.

There's nothing wrong with the Omega, however I can understand why someone might suspect that there's something wrong with them, but it's the nature of the beast. Therefore...

Reduce caster.
Reduce camber.
Reduce sway bars.
Increase spring rate.

Try them again.

EDIT: I tested the Omegas at Taruma, so try them there. The Porsche Cup cars I tested at Interlagos GP.

 

I just looked at them in game and they look pretty good. I think it's the, "Focal Length" slider in the screenshot window that might fix the appearance in screenshots.

But I'm not a photographer. Maybe someone more knowledgeable about those things can chime in. But they don't look stubby in game to me.

 

Also the P2P light in the windscreen, at least I haven't seen it working in AMS2 like it did in AMS1

 

Bikes... AMS2 need bikes ASAP!
