Automobilista 2 V1.5 Officially RELEASED - Now updated to V1.5.0.5

If anyone is interested in a somewhat thorough preview, I recorded a long AI event with the recently updated F-V10G2. It showcases very nicely the progress that was made in terms of balancing while also accentuating a few lingering weaknesses - like aggressive AI sometimes being a little too eager (it was the only time I was crashed off in my four attempts though) and dirty air not being quite the same for AI and player.

On the other hand, it shows the AI using very natural lines, making mistakes, being affected by tire wear, the player being able to out-strategize the AI in terms of tire conservation, and it also shows some very natural overtaking moves which result from the fact that there aren't any big issues with AI performance left currently.

Between 8:00 and around 14:10 it's me saving tires and sitting patiently behind AI, but then it gets really interesting and (imo) exciting, with a suitably close finish.

Oh and it's my first time trying my hand at live commentary (in English), which resulted in some horribly muddied pronounciation and (I hope) some less boredom.

Disclaimer: As always, gamepad steering looking weird doesn't allow conclusions on the game's physics.

 

Or it wasn’t seen as funny

 

If the ffb is too weak for your liking, try to increase the car specific ffb on your setup screen:

 

I can certainly say the A.I. are coming on leaps and bounds in beta land. The best they've ever been! This is the best example I can give you of their behaviour currently

 

Given the context I couldn’t know if you were joking or not I thought you were a new club member and weren’t familiar with the paddock club area of the forum

maybe a /s or making the sarcasm in text a bit more clear woulda been nice since detecting sarcasm in text is a bit more difficult than in voice since you can’t hear the voice tone

 

Or are we clogging up the forum with pointless, easily misinterpreted and mildly reckless attempts at humour? A Paddock Club member posting in a main forum thread suggesting that Reiza have 'taken our money and done a runner' is risking non-beta members being left with a very poor and false impression of the company.

As a paddock club member myself I'd have got the joke if there had been radio silence on the beta side for a few weeks, but that's not the case. At the time of your post there had been several beta releases in quick succession. Granted, Renato and co had posted little if anything on the forum for a few days as I recall, so maybe that's what prompted the joke?

Anyway, for the record, my 'dislike' was not because of what you actually said, it was because of where you said it - in the main forum where most readers have no real way of knowing how close or far from the truth your words are.

 

Guy fretting about his upvotes asks if we're over sensitive...more at 11.

 

Nope, UDP was disabled. That is interesting how it had that affect on your wifi. But that was the first thing I tried.

 

For example, if you take a turn and turn the steering wheel 90 degrees, you can pass through. All force feedback within this range performs normally. But on the 20-23, turning the steering wheel to 60 degrees is normal, but as soon as it passes 60 degrees, the force suddenly becomes very small.
And the steering wheel needs to be maintained near that critical point, making it difficult to accurately control it. A slightly larger angle is particularly prone to oversteer.
There is no such phenomenon on other cars, and I am mainly curious about what causes this experience and what is the difference

 

This reminds me of the audience of a certain large country on the other side of the pond who tried to force the Monty Pytons Flying Circus to make another version of their show adapted to this country.
Reason was this audience was unable to understand most of the sarcasm and jokes in the show.
The Pytons refused completely because the whole secret of the Pyton humour was exactly that it was hidden in all the unsaid double meanings in Pytons sketches

ByTheWay: Hehe check as example the sketch Argument Clinic out

 

Are you comparing yourself to Monty python?

 

Hahaha. Hilarious
Didnt think I would get an answer from the other side of the pond

 

Depends on which pond you’re talking about. Atlantic no öresund yes

 

Is the tire information being fixed? When I go into the pits during a practice session, it should save what my last and/or average readings are on I/M/O temps. This information here is essentially useless.

 

Don’t think it’s an easy fix, but I believe it will be fixed eventually

 

I'd recommend using something like Matus Celko / SecondMonitor · GitLab
It'll show you IMO across the whole session

 

do we have to pay 90 Euros for the paddock club to get any information about the July update?
