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

Yup. That was the tires getting confused mid corner. Also braking and traction out of corners is better as well even though it's easier to spin the rears out of the corners.

 

That made me rage quit more than anything, now I have no excuse.

 

I would rage quit races every time it happened which was a lot. Now though... I'm actually finishing all of my races which is awesome because racing against the AI is pretty good.

 

More than 1s difference in each car in Classic FL

 

Many issues this morning with numerous online sessions never moving from practice or quali to actual race. Lobby gets "frozen".

 

Curious if anyone has rumble motors on there pedals running through simhub?

I have one mounted on my throttle for slip effects, with the latest build the slip effect is going off the second I touch the throttle, through turns and doesn't fade off till I am going completely straight.
If I move from one side to another on a straight it sets the slip effect off.

I use the same slip effect across all my racing titles and I have tested my other games and the slip effect works as it should when slip is detected.

Any ideas ?

 

Is anyone else getting some weird axle hopping with the Formula Junior? Was doing some late races last night at Cordoba and Brands and noticed some weird hopping around 3rd-4th on the straights. The best way I can describe it is: it felt like the weird axle hops on some of the PC2 Modding Team cars when using the handbrake. It didn't cause the car to oversteer like a bad shift, but just made the whole car jump for a moment.

 

I have had a similar sounding issue with it on Monza Junior and Spielberg, but thought it was a mistake i made, but its as you describe, unable to replicate it though, and i was still on the RC when it happened

 

Porsche 963 LMDh when?

 

small bug: for multiple cars and tracks I have noticed that the onboard roll bar adjustment units while on track don't precisely match the units in advanced setup (ie off by one or two units per click)

 

You can try with this plugin. GitHub - viper4gh/SimHub-Plugin-CalcLngWheelSlip: Plugin for SimHub. It calculates longitudinal wheel slip by the relationship between Tyre RPS and Car Speed and provides the result as new properties.

 

Yes the McLaren is too fast in the Retro-G3, even in tracks like Kyalami it's as fast as the turbo's...

 

Great work on the latest release--the cars with the V1.5 tire model are an excellent indicator that AMS2 is headed in the right direction.

Is anyone else here experiencing large amounts of clipping with the F-USA cars at the Indy oval since the official release? Especially in the corners, the clipping meter becomes the tallest, constant bar of red I’ve ever seen. I’m traveling now, so I can’t do any further checking on my end, but if anyone could take their Reynard-Ford 95i for a spin at The Brickyard for comparison’s sake, I’d appreciate it.

My wheel is a G25 using the recommended 100/60/50/0 settings.

 

i hope with that variant as well

 

The problem with measuring pace like this is that it doesn't take into account driving style or preference of handling. Okay, those are the times that you can manage, but it might be different to others. It might be that you really get on with the McLaren and don't get on with the DFY.

If you wanted to get to the bottom of which car is fastest on average I imagine you'd have to open setups up and let people go wild. Something like TTotW would be a pretty good way to get that data, people set times in both default and open setup tts across all cars in a class, from that Reiza could take an average and balance based on that

It maybe that you nailed it on the head too and those are exactly the differences, but it's hard to know for sure.

The last point is that some cars have been incredibly overpowered compared to their rivals, the BT46 for example, balancing it relative to the other cars of its era would make it less realistic, not more.

The simple solution is to run the whole grid with BT46s instead of open class, personally I'd much sooner have that and retain the distinct character of each car than make them all identical.

Perhaps BOP option would help class racing, not sure if there has been any talk of adding it though.

 

I think Renato mentioned some time ago there is some small BoP applied to classes where the performance differences are too big to be able to have the cars race together otherwise.

 

Just had a good run with the Retro Gen 1's--full race length (53 laps) at Buenos Aires #15 at 115% AI with medium aggression...

AI drove exceptionally good. Wear on brakes and tires seemed appropriate (see attached). The car felt properly heavy at the start of the race (no refuel). Physics felt, to me, exceptional throughout the stint. Spent 20 laps hunting down P9 from 17 seconds back--finally caught him with two laps to go--VERY satisfying!

No bugs to report. Well done...

 

Maybe Reiza could add more models (generic versions) for different gategories to complement those classes. F-Retro Gen3 could use generic V8 turbo car for example, maybe L4t and V12 also. More complete classes would be great addition.
