Automobilista 2 V1.6.9.5 RELEASED!

As you say, it's WIP. Its been reported multiple times

 

Did not see it here a single time, paddock members have discussions that we here have no idea about. Was the downgraded relative leaderboard reported too ? It used to show nearest 3 ahead and 3 behind, since the first wip it is still now only 2 ahead and 2 behind.

 

Its been reported here, no need to include the reports done in the paddock
HUD Beta Feedback

And again, when something is WIP the best thing to do is to comment in the correct place, I'd say either the previous thread, or the "new feature thread" in this forum.

If then they still don't listen to you, then I'll happly join you in your complains since I also want that feature back

 

"Reverted recent adjustment to cockpit shadow distance that could cause shadow flickering"

Massive thanks for this fix! Makes a HUGE difference in VR, finally the constant shadow flickering in cars interiour is gone.

This update is huge, the physics improvements are noticable, AMS2 is above all other sims for me personally and the visual improvements(grass, under car shadows) are a nice improvement too.

 

Re..ult drive 1995 with a 6 gearbox or whe have a 96 f1 edge

 

It's a fictional car, isn't it? Who says it is a Ren..ault engine or a Benetton B195 like car?
Think about, it is a car designed by Rory Byrne in style of the Benettons B194/B195 with a Peugeot engine and 7-speed-gearbox. This will make life more easy

 

No disputing that 6-speed sequentials were still the de-facto standard those years, it's just that the generic fictional cars of the Reizaverse aren't meant to represent one specific car. Instead they are an amalgamation of various different vehicles (often not even just limited to a single year) in order to provide an interesting and varied experience for that particular series. In other words, having at least a single model using a 7-speed gearbox in the F-Edge class makes sense, it just so happens to be the V10-powered model that most closely resembles the B195.

 

With a proper TC and ABS implementation, these GT3s would be very close to being the best in sim racing.

Fantastic work Reiza. Can't wait for the full 1.7 physics touch up.

 

Great update, but I am having the same issue as other people have mentioned in this thread with the new gen 1 F1 car... The dash battery display acts as an RPM gauge instead of battery gauge. It seems like it also has unlimited battery?

 

They fix the shadows underneath the cars? That's something that bother me a lot in VR. I have yet to see if it's actually gone. Still need time to test...especially in the Monza 1000km track. It's got some terrible shadows. That, a long with Long Beach.

 

I want to say a big THANK YOU to Reiza for improving and especially optimizing the smoke from cars ! Instead of implementing garbage DLSS that makes the game look like bum and not caring, you actually fixed the smoke ! My fps went down to 20 fps before when there was a lot of smoke on screen, now it is rock solid and does not dip at all !

On that note, please never waste time on trash DLSS and always keep working on optimization. You already made night races in VR extremely smooth (running 3060 Ti) where previously i had to lower the render resolution and now that is perfect too. Awesome work !

 

By the way, love the new particle effects. Feels like a proper 90s experience.

 

As somebody who hasn't spent a lot of time with the formula classes I have to say a huge WOW to the new ones!

Were flatspots always simulated like this and so well? Love when there's a realism feature you don't expect and it blows you away. Incredible work developers I'm loving this version of the game.

Also...is it just me or does the AI not do the magnetic PIT spin on human players any more? Cautiously optimistic that it's drastically improved at the least.

 

I can't speak for your experience, but I have certainly noticed flat spots on tyres before, both visually and in FFB

The other night I ran a Formula 3 race at Interlagos, 100 difficulty. Absolute ripper of a race, I managed to fluke qualifying for pole (almost matched my TT record which granted is still 2.8s slower than the world record) but the whole 30 minutes was a constant battle for position, being ready for where the AI is faster than me (and braking later) and knowing they were going to overtake me again on the long straights in my slipstream (and vice-versa). It's hard for me to say if there are any obvious AI improvements as I haven't done much racing until recently, but I certain had an awesome time and it felt like I was having a real battle the whole race.

 

Had several wheel to wheel races with side by side cornering and despite some contact never been taken off the circuit with that horrible magnetic effect. Brilliant, thanks Reiza for fixing it.

 

I would not say it's been fixed. Just mitigated.

 

Porsche Cup is now elite!

 

I didn't replied to this thread yet. But I just want to thank you Reiza again for your amazing work. I'm enjoying it A LOT. I really love the new F-Edge, especially Model 2.

 

Yes, to me the shadows underneath the cars also look more stable/better now. But the shadows of the fences in Long Beach are the same.
