Automobilista 2 V1.6.9.9 & Historical Endurance Pack Pt2 RELEASED - Now updated to V1.6.9.91

Its a Trulli train. Just like in real life for these cars. Before DRS F1 cars would often famously just follow each other after pitsstops with nobody able to overtake.

 

The wet weather physics seem to have taken a big step forward overall, prior to this update wet weather just felt slidy in a linear way to me, like the grip level was just simply turned down. Whereas now, it doesn't feel like a simple linear change, there is a feeling of grip and biting into the tarmac, rather than sliding on a smooth surface, but a sharper and more dynamic loss of grip on the limit, which feels more realistic, challenging and fun than before.

 

But in AMS2's case it is a confirmed issue that is going to be worked on in due time with next updates.
AI too hesitant vs AI

 

A train named Gilles Villeneuve...quite realistic, isn't it?
Before DRS this was very often the case, not only few laps, often the whole race

 

Is it just me or I feel like the two wing pieces on v8 gen 1 should have the same contour to be aerodynamically correct (in real life ofc!)

Also now that we have two generic cars in the category I'm wondering if on one of them (like bridgestone) there can be a third overarching wing like on 248 F1 so that the two types don't look basically the same?

 

Gillet AI seem much better after calibration pass. I've only raced them at Guapore but they now seem to drive the same car as player rather than the BMW

Now, I'd like to race against more than 3 Gillets by default ...

 

No, I am still pretty sure : how good ams2 in dry = how bad/weird in wet. What I mean, I tested several times and it is just weird.
Race with changing weather from dry to wet. You start on slicks, as well as AI start on slicks. Some time after small rain you start to feel that slick tires becoming slidy . On this point all is good and natural. You go to pit for intermediate one lap earlier then AI. So right before the pit you had some 70% of grip, but when you took Inter tires - you literally become racing in the ice. It's not lack of grip - it's just slidy as hell. I do winter sprint race on ice/snow surface - so intermediate tires in small rain in amsw feels just the same )) I don't know why it happens, it's just broken for me.

When you simply start on rain tires in heavy wet - things feel okayiah . But on transition stage it's just making you feel weird.

Being fan of ams2 I don't want it be recognized as trolling. No. I really confused about it. And wish it to be fixed. There are plenty of examples of dry wet transitions, and even in real life.

 

Dear Reiza team, what you have achieved is extraordinary. Please don't abandon the project after everything you've accomplished with the updates. I would really love to see you squeeze every last bit of potential out of the Madness engine and focus on optimizing multiplayer and implementing fixes. Of course, improvements for an AMS3 are needed too, but please keep at it. I would even be willing to pay just for a bug fix. Thanks to the entire team!

 

I have experienced this, as you describe (with wet rather than intermediate tires), in some series, but not in others. For your interest, try the F-Inter in the same conditions.

 

The subject of rain is complex because there are so many factors to consider. Just for fun, I set the time multiplier to 30x. If a rainstorm hits, you’ve basically lost instantly.

Using the exact same weather conditions but with real-time progression results in a slow, manageable scenario.

I don't even want to know what happens if I try the same thing when switching between summer and winter.

On top of that, you have dozens of tracks and cars, each with different tires and AI physics. It feels almost like a different game depending on the settings.

With so many variables, it sometimes comes down to luck.

 

Actually he didn’t « criticized » the whole car, it was after the 91 Japanese GP, he had a contact in the start that cause a issue on the steering column which became extremely hard, and then after the race he told to his engineer that with This steering problem the car was driving like a truck, and the italian press modify that sentence and wrote the whole car was a truck, so Alain lost his Ferrari seat because of that.

 

Enzo Ferrari took more of a hands off approach to running his company after August 1988 though, so it's not directly comparable.

 

I hadn't played AMS2 in over a year but I have to say that I quite like the tire physics as they are. I really disliked the "slidey" feeling of cars, but the tire model updates + softening up the default setups have helped a lot. I still think the that I don't have a lot of feedback when I am trail braking, but overall I am really enjoying the game now.
Thank you Reiza for the continued progress.

 

Is it too much to ask for any hint/video/preview for the upcoming McLarens? We need to hype this up again!!

 

Fair maybe later This week ?

 

I remember they said it's coming within one or two week after the last update so that means this weekend.

 

I have another feedback to share with the new GT1 cars that came which I have spent most time with! Still I love driving the Lister and Saleen are both so nice to drive and I love them! But sadly, I just can't get proper grips to the Milano 55GT: It is somewhat weak, tough to steer and tyres tend to overheat quicker than on any other car. This still happens with higher tyre pressure and more open brake ducts! I hope I am not the only one struggling.

 

Take all given time frames for updates with a grain of salt.
Would be great if it comes this weekend, but don't get your hopes up.

 

We just have a very good dlc and update and we already want a new want . As for me, let me get an other 2-3 month before being hype for something new against

 

Well technically it's not a new want. It's the last (and likely also the best) piece of the puzzle which has been delayed for some reason and we're closer than ever to the finish line. To ppl who loves 2000s F1 this is a big deal.
