    There has a change been made for Brabham BT52 that has proven to work more reasonably, up now with current hotfix (restart steam client if it's not popping up) - A setup reset is recommended for minor diff tweaks, but more important there is an aerodynamic aspect that has been changed independently from setup, the rear wing will give up less abrupt under yaw (example: the rear wing with its tall side plates shows that it aims to work with yaw as much as possible, so it's a change towards better accuracy aswell).

    The car will still be able to lose the rear, but less sudden and it will act more confidence inducing to push in faster sections. But the character close to the limit will remain and it's not as happy to be thrown around like the MP4/1C for example.

    Be aware that you will still need to balance out the aerodynamics by decreasing front wing for faster tracks like Spa or Buenos Aires 12 (you still get considerable amounts of downforce at the front, so even setting 0 wouldn't mean "no wing", it helps a lot with balance at higher speeds though, especially if you run 100% boost).

    Sounds like it's time to try the car again :)
    I had given up on it thinking I have not enough talent to drive it at Spa :D

    He really is super analytic. I really like his content, but not always have the time to follow the long vídeos.

    Breaking News: or "braking news" ;)

    Ladies and gentlemen, I hate to inform you...

    but someone has "out-cheesed the forums."

    We need to up our cheese numbers ASAP.

    To keep this AMS2 related, I should make a cheese livery for the WimdyCar.

    this hotfix affected the Formula Junior as well I take it? I noticed a small update and then thought the FJ seemed a lot more “stable” at the rear as I was hotlapping Monaco and it seemed less eager to slide. Came here to see if there had been any physics updates.

    It's always been a bit hesitant to rotate on entry. Think of it like an old Porsche, it either understeers or massively rotates. There's some level of forcing weight transfer that is required to get it to turn.

    No change to F-Junior. Maybe your tire temps were different, has lots of effect.

    Thanks for sharing, it's nice to hear a reasoned opinion. I also want to say thank you to the person who shared GM's video a few pages back, watched it and came to the conclusion that I will never watch his content again.

    He is a pretty biased AC fanboy, can't take his opinion seriously. He only does AMS2 videos to get views, as he knows AMS2 fans are pretty passionate about the game.

    I do get a good laugh at his extreme fanboyism for AC and how he tries to be cool about it.

    Exactly. I love AC as much as the next guy but AC's tire model can not hold a candle to AMS2 any longer. Take the RSS Formula Americas out and then run the F USA 23 and try to tell me it is better. The VRC version is closer but AMS2 version feels so much better especially around high to mid range speed corners.

    Spot on...

    AC with high downforce cars has always felt "numb" to me. Edit: with non-aero cars it feels nicely predictable and realistic (maybe "inoffensive" as a better word), but I never found the IndyCar mods to require the same playful inputs as what replays of the real car would suggest.

    While I still questioned how playful some of the Retro and Classic F1 content was in AMS2, the USA 23 wheel inputs looks and feels like current replays from real races. This was always one of my big complaints of iRacing's junior formula cars, as you never see fast drivers fight the car like you would see from Indy NXT footage.
