Automobilista 2 V1.4.5.2 & New DLC Packs RELEASED!

that sound though!!! Loving the mp4/5b

 

The discussion about which R390 model should be LDF or HDF is a bit pointless anyway, given that both cars were Le Mans only efforts. The 98 version is an evolution of the 97 one in all fronts, not an LDF version of the base model. Reiza found a way to include both models into the game, fine by me.

 

Okay, that's fair. I definitely know little to nothing on what it takes to get all this stuff to work.(Although I do wish I could learn more about it.)

I'm sorry for being so brash.

 

Sure, but adding both 97 and the 98 as separeted model would be probably bad because of the 40 liveries limit thing, so now they need to find a way that makes a bit more sense. I think it makes a bit more sense making the longtail the low downforce variant, since it has less drag for top high speed.

 

It's here! Praised be the real cheese people all around the world! Happy new year!

 

Did you set a too high rating requirement and your friends did not meet the criteria?

 

I do agree that integrating 97 and 98 models in one entry and pretending they are one was a good idea. I would also prefer the long bodywork as the LDF. But it's not something big in my books, as it's straying away from reality in one way or another, just for a better fit in game

 

The McLaren MP4/5b is absolutely sublime, one of the best openwheelers now in my opinion.

 

Agreed, it's not something that needs an urgent fix or something, but worth to talk about it.

 

I work as a software developer, not gaming but there are plenty of similarities when working with the code. For example:

• A thing that looks simple change for end user can mean a lot of changes under the hood as there are often functions connected or affected by this relatively simple change. Or it causes something unexpected elsewhere. Remember, sometimes even changing some output text can be difficult.
  
• Software can be buggy. You'd do one thing and expect the output but there's something weird going on. At that point you have no way of telling whether it's something you've done wrong, or it's the software. And you're likely to waste plenty of time to "fix" your code and eventually come up with a proof of the software bug. This can take a while. Remember the sticky diff?
  
• Often a relatively simple thing that can be added quickly gets parked as it would have to be reworked again after something else gets developed. So it's not done now as it's a waste of development time.

Now imagine all of those changes have to implemented in a complex and complicated, in-house system with little understanding apart from the people who actually put it together and which you've acquired not so long ago. It's a tough ask to do anything and yet Reiza gets stuff done.

I just know how difficult this task is and how much sweat, cursing and tears is put so we can enjoy AMS2. I'm massively grateful and please continue doing what you're doing - as you're doing great. Keep it up guys and guyettes

I see. My bad.

Remember the vast majority of us are sort of outsiders looking in. That's why I hope they do the backing program again. I want to learn what goes on behind the scenes.

 

I think you are overestimating what backers can see.

Anyway, even though I complain a lot on this forum, I can vouch that backing Reiza is worth every penny.

 

Hi @FS7. Try deleting your controller settings file and starting fresh. It worked for me.

 

From an audio perspective, the MP4/5B is the star of the show in the sim so far. Possibly any sim IMHO. So visceral, full of depth, with so much character. It whispers in your ear 'full throttle you wuss'.

 

The only full long term solution is to have enough 97 and 98 cars at some point in the (probably very distant) future to split them in seperate classes. For now it is probably best to have it changed around like @Coanda mentioned to have the 97 model in the game as well and not have that work go to waste.

 

The open wheelers in AMS2 are imo now the best in all of sim racing with only RSS and VRC mods coming close.

 

I did that and controls still feel exactly the same as before the update, built-in filters/dampers that cannot be turned of are still there, there's still delay in the inputs, there's still no vibration when going over curbs or bumps. I've already posted a bunch of info about this in the gamepad support thread.
Also, even though I only deleted the controller settings file the game reset a bunch of other settings that have nothing to do with controls, like gameplay/realism settings, hud settings, camera settings, settings I used in my last single player race, test day settings. Restoring the old controller settings profile didn't help at all and I had to reconfigure everything.

 

I'm in love with the new cars, they feel so good to drive

Can't wait to see whats next for 2023 especially knowing that edurance will get some focus, hoping that we can race with 50 cars, mid race save on the track and legendary endurance cars
