Automobilista 2 V1.4.8.1 & Circuit de Barcelona Catalunya Officially RELEASED!

At each race randomly and even on the same track and conditions, several drivers start with different amounts randomly given by the game, they cannot open the amount of fuel for the same start, they opened the types of tires for us to select

 

Tried last night

Barcelona track super

the new f2/3 classic junior seemed very off
Seemed to rotate easily as if pivoting from centre & ffb seems tad indirect/floaty , plus it feels like it has down force but it has none
Only beta I know

 

I don't know enough about race car physics, but where do race cars rotate from?

Should it be the centre of mass or is it the front wheels? Or somewhere else?

 

Excellent, this method is definitely preferred over a push system that runs full 20 seconds each time.

 

pivots from back wheels
Front wheels evoke the turn
Assuming no loss of traction of course

 

race cars do just rotate like every 4 wheeled vehicle. There is no special race cars physics. The difference beetwen a VW 1303 and a Porsche 911 is in details only, not in the main physical principles. Datei:Ackermann radius M.svg – Wikipedia

 

Have you at least deleted your setups or the Automobilista folder under Documents and started from scratch?Your complaints are very strange.

 

None of those. A simplified model i used in game dev like 10 years ago is something like this:


This example shows how the turn radius depends on the wheelbase. Anyway, like i said, this is a simplified model, in reality you have to take into account a lot of other stuff.

Taking into account the slip angle, the steering geometry changes to something like this:

I'm not sure how accurate the rear slip angles are in this image, but you get the point. But like i said, it gets even more complex. For example, when turning a racing kart, the front inside wheel will actually lift off the ground, because there is no suspension, so that wheel shouldn't contribute to steering geometry while it's up in the air. You also need to consider camber, toe, and a bunch of other stuff.

 

Thanks for the interesting replies all.

 

I tried it at barcelona and couldn't get it to work. I assume it is the button mapped to boost? Or maybe not?

 

I find that a bit odd. Yes, it's still in beta, but to me this particular car along with the Inter represent the highest level of driving experience fidelity in the sim at the moment. The handling, the feel, the visuals and the sounds. It's subjective, I know, and there's a sound bug, but I think it's a major leap forward in terms of mechanical immersion, if that's even a thing.

Have you tried messing around with the setup? Or maybe your FFB and/or sound settings?

 

Sorry to interrupt the nerd talk
But... these things are just sooo good on the RC, with this excellent new skin pack.
Simulator bliss.

 

The rear ride height in the basic setup of the Formula ultimate gen 2 is asymmetric. Is it supposed to be like that?

 

I was having huge issues with oversteer and then I noticed what caused it

 

Agreed 1 BILLION times! The cars handle amazingly - I've no issue saying I think these are the best among all simulators - and the skin pack is absolutely perfect. The AI files are pretty nice too.

However, even though the AI behaves more organically now, they still need a lot of tweaking. More often than not they are transforming the track into a Rally RX circuit.

 

That little blurb is the same i posted. I have the full context of that, which was indeed the evolution of the engine through the year.

The next race after Monza was Estoril, a track with a much shorter front straight, and a much more twisty circuit, that would obviously, necessitate an even more draggy setup. So obviously they went slower in terms of top speed, they all did.

 

Quick request, can you also implement something for the stock car brazil? The lights on the dashboard for p2p arent functional either.
