Featured Automobilista 2 V1.6.8.5, Historical Track Pack Pt3 & Historical Endurance Pack Pt1 RELEASED!

I only did a quick Lolas race at Laguna, after trying other things, but they could be a surprise favourite

 

It's still good to have an ''indicator'' of potential/average top speed regardless of minor influences of altitude, gearing etc... It is one of the first things i noticed when looking at the new cars, that they have no marker of potential top speed. When you ask about a car in real life, one might say, ''what is the top speed''? This allows the player to know which car is going to fly by on the long straights, etc, etc, etc.....Miura vs BMW 2002 for example, a massive difference in top speed, so the indicator is very good for working out multi-class pairings/player choice, IMO.

 

Hello, here are my thoughts on the new DLC.

The content offered isn't my favorite. After trying it out, I must admit I enjoyed driving the GT2, GT1, and GTR. The sound is good, and the handling is good. The gear shift animation is still missing (when you select automatic transmission in the menu, it breaks the immersion).
The LMP cars are enjoyable, although I personally find the cockpit view sound lacking. It seems muffled.
I was able to test the TAA on a single screen, and I find the game more visually appealing despite a few issues like the borders and the Audi LMP's windshield, where the result isn't clean.

Regarding the tracks, there are few changes compared to the current versions. I noticed on Spa 2005 (both versions) that a barrier disappears a little too early at the La Source corner. Without the test, I probably wouldn't have bought the DLC.

 

sorry, do you mean in the car profile? or do we mean in the UDP data/shared memory?

 

I don't know what it is about those Lolas, probably the tiny cockpit, but it feels like you're going a million miles an hour, everywhere, all the time, despite being slower than the LMP1s.
Love it!

 

It is actually getting there now. Just finished a test of the AI, 25 minute Le Mans 2005 race with the GT1 new class and holy moly the AI racing is actually GOOD ! Reiza had done something with the AI where it no longer felt predictable, easy to exploit or artificial !

AI was actually defending a whole lot more against me and each other, T1 was no longer a nonsensical train (it is fixed on modern layout too), it was a fair and constant back and fort between me and one Maserati AI for P10 and it was amazing !

I have to run a whole lot more tests and record it for futher review but i was genuinely impressed and i think for the first time since playing AMS2 walked away from an AI race session feeling like i had a GREAT time.

What i had noticed thought that still needs improving - AI need to do a better job at going around stopped cars, whether it is the player or other AI they need to be more aggressive instead of slamming the brakes every time when a car is on the side of the track.

 

Awesome update - loving the M3!

 

What do you mean?

 

So do I just install the update over the top of the previous names file? Reason I ask is that when I went in and looked at what is there now before this update, there were all of the mod files as well as the Reiza ones. But this update has fewer files in it. That's what is confusing me. I'm very paranoid about updates in general especially in file maintenance.

 

It's not just you. Use MSAA in VR and be happy.

 

Awesome stuff Reiza. best DLC/ update so far, please do more Milanos.

 

In an online or offline race, is there a way to see what tires the other drivers or A.I. are using?

 

I experiment the same, I played with all the sharpening settings, but seems to be indipendendent. As long as I don't move the head much is tolerable.. Are you using virtual desktop? I use it in godlike with reoprojection

 

Thanks, this happens because we relax the TAA when the screen velocity is high to quickly update the temporal history which reduces the chance of any blurring from lingering history occurring. This threshold might be too aggressive in VR, we can bump it up a bit.

 

Just a question : after the release of the career mode in 2026, the game will still going to get content ?

 

some questions: will there be others tracks ? in particulary european tracks and asia/pacific tracks
What about the racin usa pack 4 ? (nascar cars)
other cars are planned for some categories ? (rallycross, lmdh, GT1/GT2 2005, GT3, street cars)
other free cars are planned ?

 

Cool little history lesson featuring the latest DLC on the Traxion channel.

 

I think it might be slightly too aggressive for VR. It can happen when going through a chicane and turning left to right quickly. Generally though it doesn't happen unless you force it to.

 

Watched that this morning, V interesting!
