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

The FF1600 has improved a lot regarding this drafting issue!

Hopefully when you guys fiddle with the GT3 to amend it too it won't break the FF1600 (which is a faaaaaaaaaaaar superior car than any fatty GT3 slug!)

 

Could you also take a look at the F-Classic Gen1 Model 2 at some point? the AI is very slow off the start and also slower on straights compared to the player or compared to Model 1 and the Lotus 98T which have no issues with straight line speed or getting of the start compared to the player. Of course it could be caused by something else (wrong gear ratio or turbo for AI setup maybe), but it has been an issue since 1.5 dropped

 

About the elevated gpu use: I play at 2k with everything at full and with vertical sync (I use a 50-inch LG and that's what it works) but I haven't modified anything so that it consumes between 90% and 100%. I am experimenting and I see that although it is set to 90 or 100, it is actually NOT, because the temperature is 38⁰ on average. I have tried removing the vertical sync and the consumption remains the same when unlimiting the fps. I go on average at 115 with 25 cars at Le Mans. If I'm left alone I'm close to 200fps. So at 60fps the graph goes at 50%, which is evident because the temperature remains at 38⁰ despite showing 100% GPU usage. The fact is that before the use of the GPU was in line with reality and now it is not. By the way, to do these tests I have cleaned the drivers with DDU in safe mode

 

oh man I love AMS2. Thanks again for the hard work and the great updates! Looking forward to what comes next.

 

I think I just saw a single trackside LED panel at Imola stuck flashing yellows in a multiplayer practice session. Possibly related to a player disconnecting while in the area. Based on passing the panel three times (full laps each time) and on the first pass I saw someone in the grass near it.

 

And here I was resigning myself that this would be low priority and take a while to fix! Thanks very much!

 

edit: i'm dumb/too fast

 

The Sprint also has issues with rolling resistance. Tested at Interlagos. They are much faster than the player on straights around the 4th gear mark.

 

V1.5.5.5.2533

Porsche 911 RSR 74 utilizes all 5 of its gear ratios by default (i.e., no visits to setup screen before race) when loading a single race at classic Cascais 88. However, the drivetrain tab in the Advanced Setup Menu only lets you change gears 1 & 2 … gears 3 through 5 are all locked at 1.000, regardless of what ratios are selected for 1 & 2.

 

This is also true for the F-Trainer (regular, not Advanced). A car like that is usually used on smaller tracks, but it has ratios that ensure it won't run out of gears even at the largest tracks. Using a numerical higher final drive ratio turns it into a bit more of a lively/responsive vehicle. I use the middle FDR option as my default.

 

Gear ratios going Pete Tong are a long standing issue with this game. Perhaps in cars with fixed ratios like Gt3s they should be greyed out, the same with one where only final drive can be adjusted.

 

oh nice
Now i can Go on with my Single Player Championship

Thanks Reiza!!!

 

As discussed before, try resetting set-up to default and/or take car out of garage (not sure if both or which are required). You will see the correct gears and final drive, all adjustable, when you re-enter the garage.

As @3dquick mentioned, there is a long-standing issue with this type of UI glitch that may be exacerbated by the continual updates we receive. But in the short run, can be "corrected" by doing the above.

 

A persistent problem has reared its head again; I got disqualified at Monza in a 20 lap race, with LMDh & GT3 gen2 (disobeying pitstop), although I pitted. I thought this had finally been solved, or maybe I did something wrong, my end? Anyway, great race, ‘til disqualified on the last lap

 

Is anyone getting multi class class positions shown when using a custom championship ?
If I select a preset it works fine but when I setup Lmdh and GT3 Gen2 in a custom championship I set use class scoring to yes but the ingame it shows only overall position.
I’ve also noticed the ai are using the outside grass a lot at Catalunya between turns 9 and 10

 

I had already tried that idea, as well as the “delete setup folder” trick to no avail. The ultimate fix, which in hindsight I should have probably done before posting, was to delete my entire Automobilista 2 folder in Documents and make a new profile from scratch. Less than 4 minutes later, the drivetrain menu is working as intended.

 

That should work always, but I just did the simpler option described above with success. When I went in to check the RSR, sure enough I had the exact same glitched ratios as shown in your pic. If you wanted a complete set-ups reset, you can also just delete that particular folder. No need to go nuclear for such a small issue

 

Better to heed the canary in the coal mine than keep digging … especially if you’re already seeing things that aren’t even there. Of all of my posts here that have attempted to identify various issues with the sim, the overwhelming majority that turned out to be patently wrong could be traced back to various “try this UI trick combo” or “delete this particular file or that folder” solutions. In all of these cases, I either (a) did not even know an effective remedy already existed or (b) failed to properly or fully implement a solution I had previously learned. The “nuclear option” is immune to both of these deficiencies.
