    HUD may have been reset due to the new 'helicorsa' icon, but not sure about ffb. Not sure if you can restore this data.

    I promised one of my channel viewers I would pass this on as i do agree with him, so to quote him:
    "Default setups! My only issue with AMS2 and it's a big one is setup. When you leave the track and enter setup you lose all tire info. I can't remember all the tire info for 4 tires. So normally just adjust brake bias and brake power. It really takes away from that very fun element of the game. I feel like that should have been fixed 2 years ago before letting out another car or track. It is such a HUGE flaw extremely over looked issue. That one issue takes the game from what would be my favorite sim by 3 fold to my 3rd favorite sim. That is a huge spread. I can't be the only one. Maybe an in game screen capture then be able to view in the setup screen??? Beg them to fix, please!!!!!!!!"

    Hello friend.
    No, Copa Truck (which is the Brazilian official truck race championship) doesn't have 16 gears. In fact they only have 6 gears, since they are not exactly normal trucks, but racing trucks.
    Another thing is that these trucks are European "box-shaped" models, and many of them have 12 gears (3L+3H in the first gearbox plus another 3L+3H in the second gearbox). Some have 16 (4L+4H on each gearbox).
    In Brazil, with very few exceptions, our fleet is entirely made of European "box-shaped" trucks.

    Here's an article from the Brazilian Iveco Blog explaining a little bit about preparing a truck for racing in the Copa Truck championship [portuguese].

    Cheese!

    Thanks Reiza!!!! only two things I can see there again... those cones on the Dayona's pit exit that pull you in middle the track and the race... and the cup montana, there is not an option to turn off the p2p on oval races? only need that to use montana to have beautiful oval races.. thanks !!

    Not an expert on these, but there are differences between the Brazilian and European giant race trucks. The European ones seem to have a 16-speed box, but use only two of those gears during a race! The Brazilian trucks have a 6-speed, with the first gear disabled and not selectable. In the old AMS, the first gear was locked-out and I expect at some point that will happen in AMS 2. In the meantime, to be authentic, just don't use 1st gear.

    I also know ZF race transmissions have been used at some point in these big trucks (and perhaps that's what the Brazilian versions use while the European ones use a regular/road truck transmission?).

    EDIT: Didn't see @Renan G Flores reply before I wrote this. Maybe he can provide more details about the source of the transmissions?

    1st gear has now been eliminated.

    The main difference between the 2 trucks is the raceroom one has a speed limiter whereas the Brazilian ones are supposed to be limited by external radar. In any case there is no need for so many gears on either variant as torque is plentiful with no load to pull.

    @Marc Collins First has been disabled since RC. At last that was i experienced last time <3

    Hardware wise those EU truck gear wont be feasible for simracing. Unless you use only two of them ofc :p

    Just did a race at brands hatch with the formula trainers and they feel great. Love the radar widget as well.
    But I do feel the AI crashes a lot. A "big" crash occurs every 2-3 laps. No fcy is deployed though.
    I even set the aggressiveness to low, but the AI keeps bumping and crashing. I have my skill set to 100.

    Try max aggression. It seems to tame them in certain instances actually.

    Three, to be pedantic :p In very tight hairpins they usually split down to 7L, but you're right, usually they use 7H and 8H only. Probably depends on the track and driver preferences.

    Two examples:

    Steffi Halm @Misano only using 7H and 8H:


    Erwin Klein Nagelvoort @Zolder using 7L - 7H - 8L - 8H

    The original ams had versions of brazilian tracks with speed traps for copa trucks, but honestly its more fun without them

    Man.... I've finally reinstalled.

    That's just another game.. al cars I had trouble with, just came right... the experience is amazing. So I was playing with other game.. just like that. I'm staggered. Thanks.

    @Beezer215 try it.. you'd have the same gitch I was suffering. Reinstall, delete all at my documents.


    Said that, thats a huge bug in this game that should be solved.
    It's the first time I see it. And like me.. many others could have suffer it and maybe discard the game.
    I just wasn't believeing everyone saying thats so good.. being me having all this wrong physics.
    It should be investigated.

    I'm aware of this, but it didn't change much. This is why I tried the low aggression.
    I have to say, I feel that low aggression actually makes the cars less aggressive, unlike how it was before.

    No mention of this so far, but first thing I'll be trying is classic Spa.
