Automobilista 2 V1.4.3.3 & Racin´ USA Pt3 Officially Released!

Is this true ?
It’s been removed & not coming back ?
Why would they take out such an Immersive
feature ?

 

Couldn't wait until tomorrow to get it. GPlaps is right about the installation process and the need to update the bootfiles with every new build. I have however done this a gajillion times, so it's nothing really.
The car is something else; holds a nice middle ground between momentum and downforce. High speed corners are a blast, the way it all loads up, and slower complexes can catch you out if not careful. Very challenging to extract the most out of it.
Very, very much worthy of your 2 bucks. It's once again 2am... Every friggin' time man!

 

It would be good if you made the pits shared it's very out of context SPA 1970 with 22 cars is kind of pathetic. Endurance with 32 cars is pathetic it would be nice if the pits were shared. so 32 goes up to 64 , 22 goes up to 44 .

 

You'll have to live with it, as 32 is the limit due to some technical reason with the Madness Engine for now.

 

It's not a technical limit, Project Cars 1 had shared pits so much so that Le Mans could run with 55 cars and it's the same Graphic engine, if @Renato Simioni Elaborate the Engine could put . It's pathetic the 32-car Grid with high graphics cards and processors that pushes really well.

 

Project Cars 1 was old generation Madness and allowed the shared Pit because now it doesn't, what explanation do you have ????

 

Then it's either Spa 70 or Imola Historic 70

 

It's not scaled to the engine anymore, read previous thread.

 

The problem with that is that if you increase the engine slider volume, it drowns out every other sound and I definitely don't want to hear my loud engine through the entire race lol. The whole point of the reflection is that it increases the engine volume ever slightly at the wall despite keeping the engine volume minimal. And I thought that was a cool feature, no other game does this. But after the update, BAM....gone! I drove mostly formula car and when I drove up near the wall, the usual loudness of the engine did not kick in. In fact, it sounds like normal.

 

If only that good press wasn't overshadowed by the word of mouth press about MP...

 

It's great! The perfect multiclass partner for Group C.

Damn those headlights though .

 

I don't want to diminish their work and I don't know what the difficulties were, I can imagine a lot of passion and hours went into this car but the sound is not that convincing. This car or the Audi S4 GTO are among the greatest sounding turbo 5-cylinder race cars, It's just a shame.

 

The reason is that AMS2 modding doesn't allow you to add your own sounds (I believe? Don't quote me on this but it's what I've heard) so they had to make do with something in-game, if you compare the same mod in other sims it sounds as glorious as it should

 

That's a killer for any offline endurance then. I wouldn't have minded even loading back in on a generic track state. It doesn't have to be exact. Damn shame.

 

Creepy Audi Motorsports engineers. To save a couple of kg they destroyed our endurance plans

 

It's related to how live track works: at the minute it is all "blockchained" from the starting point through the race. Every step is linked to the previous so if you save and restart you will restart from "scratch" and not from the last point of the track's conditions. (Pardon the raw explanation but more expert people explained it in more technical words).
It's a pillar of how Madness Engine works right now. They mentioned nothing is impossible but it is quite not trivial to change that and very much at risk to introduce serious issues, so not going to change soon.
The same problem applies to the replay as it is saved in the same way hence it is impossible to jump to a given point in time.

 

There was an idea floating around in PC2 times that I found quite interesting, but let me state up front that I have no idea how hard it would be to implement, if it would even work at all.

Anyways, the idea was to save a series of snapshots of the evolving track conditions throughout the race, like every five minutes or so, and a final one on saving the game. When loading a savestate, have the game run through those snapshots and thereby procedurally recreate the current conditions not perfectly, but to a good degree of approximation.

 

Would be another big game changer imo. Being able to hop in and out of longer races (hard to play 3/4 hours plus in one go, because, life etc) means I'm not limited to short or accelerated races to experience something near the full length fun of the game

Really loving AMS2s audio. Though I agree maybe in general wall reflection could be turned up slightly. It sounds so good down my a40s and can use it for judging distance to wall. Personal preference though.

Jumped into rf2 for the first time over the weekend from having a long period away and audio was my first thought... Coming back to AMS2 and the sound is far superior in my view. Spatially so much better

 

most irl driver will say they don't ever notice wall reflection sounds, games tend to exagerate it
