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

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the R390 was not raced anywhere outside Le Mans 97 and 98? Making both versions actually LDF, and Reiza taking an artistic license to represent a Sprint version to compete with GT1 stablemates? Not that I complain though, but it explains why, as you said, there is no "right" solution.

 

Thanks for the update. In future coming a traction control slip option ? Tc 1 is to strong.

 

What I wouldnt give for a version of that car with slick tires and racing liveries. Like a cup series of this thing.

 

If there was one then I would use the Brabham for more than just production car multiclass where it comes up on the Polo at warp speed.

 

Last night I joined a 30 min Group C race at Spa. I was driving the R89C with a setup that was shared via screenshots. I made the mistake of leaving radiator as it came, closed down to 50%. That made the oil temperature go high, but was still in check during practice and qualy. At race it was hotter, and the oil went above 130 ºC at some points on the track (namely at the end of Kemmel), and Crew Chief started warning me about it. And while the damage on the drivetrain at the HUD was not racking up a lot (it never got above 2), and random failures were not enabled in the server, it still caused a turbo failure, meaning that I progressively lost all boost (was running it at 100%) and got slower each lap, to the point that I could not even reach 5th gear, and was passed by everybody that was still racing. A pitstop for repairs put the damage on the drivetrain back to zero, but it still did not fix the turbo.

Honestly very impressed by how mechanical damage is simulated. It may have made my race hell, but I found it very realistic, so won't complain one bit

 

New update looks great! looking forward to trying it when I can.

Sorry if this has been posted, but do we happen to have an explicit list of the cars that have had the latest tyre updates pushed? I found the GT3s very fun to drive now with the new changes but I don't want to start trying other cars and getting placebo'd into thinking it's different (the last update had something about modern slicks, but I don't know what technically counts as modern).

 

I may quote this the next time someone on the internet calls AMS2 a simcade

 

Between the new F-USA sounds and the new camera angles at Fontana, definitely seems like they studied that

 

Doing AI tests on oval and made a 2 minute video. Should i post my findings and experience here or into a different section ?

 

Wow! Not sure why Reiza calls them "minor tread adjustments" because to me its a MAJOR change.

Drove the F3, no longer could I powerslide as easy or just throw the rear into medium speed corners.

I was surprised to see it lost grip during midspeed corners a lot easier, I could still spin out of low speed corners as you expect but I could feel I did not have the same buffer of control, a lot scarier.

After a few laps I tried to push the car a bit too heavy into corners and could see that my tyres would struggle by becoming quite hot.

F-Classic Gen3 soft compound felt great too! Never liked those cars before but now they just click! Gonna spend more time with them now for sure.

I'm just amazed how long AMS 2 has come and I'm so happy about these "minor" changes from the two recent patches, they finally gotten to the root of some of the issues I had before and for me its the biggest change after all these years I think.

 

was not trying at all to make this happen, but shows the way the attitude of the suspension can be so easily upset in a believable manner.

 

Wow, nice tribute video of that record Like the announcer on the original video above said, it didn't even look that fast

 

Wow..... Thanks for posting this.
I think I watched it 10 times. Damn natural.
If it really was not on purpose and it just "happened" While pushing (which I believe is the case) then I guess we really"are there".

 

For development of custom FFB I do a lot of tests (more than races) with F309 at Cleveland.
The bumpy track makes the F309 very prone to loose composure (mainly because of bottoming out with cold tyres). Also, the bumpy track is very good exposing the complexity of tyre model.
I didn't touch this combo for a while now (maybe a few weeks, so I may be biased by LMDh/GT3 driving) but today I really felt it more sensitity (in a good way!!) when entering turns with excessive speed or relying too much on grip conditions. An extremely good feeling!

 

Still hoping we would one day get the Mazda MX5

 

Oh wow 7K lines of code?

And is that SVN I smell?

 

If that smell is pleasant 99% of the time, but that other 1% it smells like poo, then yes.
