Automobilista 2 V1.5.5.0, Le Mans & Endurance Pack Pt1 RELEASED - Now Updated to V1.5.5.6

Anyone else get a 1.5 gig update?

 

Regarding RL drivers opinions on TC, I like what one certain German had to say when TCs were allowed in F1 in 2001.

"I am in favour of it," said Schumacher. "We can go faster with it and drive more extremely on the limit. You don’t have to take care of any power peaks of the engine. You don’t lose anything - I even would say that from my experiences that the difference to my team mate would get bigger.

"I have never taken time from any of my team mates from acceleration out of a corner. I see it like this: It gives us more freedom to drive a bit faster. And the ability to take the car permanently to the limit is what a makes a good driver. It will increase the whole level [of the grid], but at this new higher level, you will see the good drivers remaining the good ones."

He was ofcourse talking about 700+ hp monsters but I think same would apply to lower powered cars as well. Maybe in endurance classes TC makes less difference as drivers are not on the limit whole race duration (I didn't watch that LMP1 video, though).

And as Marc Collins implied, you have to know how to drive the car without TC and know how and when TC utilizes. Otherwise it just restricts your performance.

 

Yup - but cant find any notes.

 

First one is massive news! Other two are great too, the R390 in particular always bugged me a little, tribute livery is just sweet of you to add

 

del

 

Kudos for this <3

 

• Adjusts tire wear rate for all wet compounds (correcting excessive wear issue suffered by most)

Thank you for this

 

Hey Renato will Cascais/Estoril receive the LED flag panel?
They got installed recently in the mid of 2023

 

After watching Daytona like a maniac nothing like an update do finish the weekend.

 

@Renato Simioni Unless I happened to skip over it, the changelog is missing the revised dashboard for the 720S GT3 Evo. Don't want the hard work of @robillard3381 to go unnoticed.

 

Problem with ACC is not the ABS per se. It is the fact that tires will allow to smash the brakes with ABS blinking like crazy all the way to the apex which defies the laws of physics. There is far too much capability to turn in while using still a truck load of longitudinal grip all the way to the apex. Check any onboard with pedals telemetry to see how much they release the brakes compared to ACC players keeping 70-80% almost to the apex.

 

Some testing later: the AI are a lot better for sure! Imola '88 used to be one of, if not the worst track for AI rallycrossing and with this update alongside the existing improvements from last update I only saw a wheel dipped on the grass a few times which is probably about realistic levels! Being able to drive the track with any form of grip after a few laps is a feeling I've really been missing

 

Sure, no doubt braking is almost like an on-off switch in ACC, I wasn't refering to that. Simply replied to the statement that in GT3 cars (IRL) TC and ABS is mainly used for wet track or other low grip conditions, suggesting to some degree that the default setting is 0, and I find this hard to believe. If it's true, that's very interesting and is something worth to be known.

 

Great stuff guys!!

Now.. Realistically how far off career mode could we be?

 

Just noticed that AMS2 is in my personal list of sims I played the most (main release and beta) on #2 since today. 994h all in all. On the top at 1,435h is rF2. Realistically I believe (if I continue the way I do since Nov - and I'm a strong believer in this case ) to be there around May/June.

 

200MB update is causing Steam to "patch" 47GB and then "install" 47GB too... Sitting in my rig waiting, I just wanted to go for a Sunday drive. Feels bad man.

 

Thanks mate, I last post I read on it said 2021 lol. Thank goodness for @EverlastingApex career mod and @Marcos Santos for the win mod. They have been an absolute blast to help me really see what ams2 is capable of achieving using its broad content.
