Featured Automobilista 2 V1.6.9.95 RELEASED! Updated to v1.6.9.96

Ha! Nice

 

I just wanted to say, after trying multiple combinations this past few days I've left seriously impressed, I've found the odd combination here and there, there's areas where the AI needs improvement like multiclass for example, IMO they still need refinement there, but when I found the good combo, I've been blown away by the racing, I've never been pushed like this by AI, the way they attack and defend is superb and considering the size of ams2 I've never expected the AI to get to this level.
Hats off to whoever has worked on this because this is golden..

 

On the Panoz LD variant the gears are already almost maxed out at Le Mans without any draft and all already set the longest possible on default, so there is no room to make them longer either.

 

Please, share such combos

 

I found problems in tracks such as Imola, Daytona and Silverstone. Tracks like Road atlanta, Barcelona and Interlagos have been great, and like I said mainly single class racing, things like the F309, Stock car brasil 2019, GT1s, GT3s.
I've also been experimenting with lower difficulty than I usualy run but with a higher brake scalar, it also seems to give me a more realistic experience.

 

Kudos to Reiza.

The two new AI options are a real milestone. This is perhaps the biggest game-changer in years. The whole thing plays out so much more organically—you really have to experience it for yourself.

 

I haven’t seen any comments about this, so it’s worth mentioning: “AI behavior under the blue flag.” Of course, there are many combinations, and this may not apply to all of them, but the experience I had at Mosport with FRetro G2 was quite surprising! I made more than 10 passes on backmarkers, and they all behaved very well—slowing down, moving off the racing line, and making the passes much easier—plus they didn’t chase me like crazy afterward (which used to happen in some cases or previous versions).

Another thing that stood out was how unpredictable the AI is when defending or moving. You never know which path it’s going to take.

Thanks for the improvements.

 

I’ve finally had time to try the AI improvements and they are a clear step forward. Really great job, thank you again!

I have a question regarding the McLaren situation: is it posible to consider to add two extra car liveries for the V10 g2, g3 and V8 g2 with the V1.7 if the licensing hasn’t been resolved so that we can play with skins while we wait for a resolution?

ty!!

 

I second that. "McClen" for the solution! And those skins still look fine!

 

I fully agree with the proposal to include the generic MCLRNs while the issues regarding the official license are being resolved. As I understand it, these cars are already developed, so adding them wouldn't require extra effort. Perhaps there is some other reason we aren't aware of for not taking advantage of this interim solution.

 

A random guess would be that you don't want to make enemies with companies that you already have plenty of cars of in the game. While it may be an easy solution to add it may upset a good deal partner for future licensing.

I know the Indycar is a fairly similar scenario but assuming that closing doors with them wouldn't hurt future licensing hence why ended up with a fantasy Reizaverse car.

I'm pretty sure though that Reiza team will do what's best overall. They know much more than we do

 

Absolute legend as usual!

 

An issue with this was reported on Wednesday evening, that's some quick work!

 

That's some really fast adjustment after the reports of AI issues against a human, can't wait to try a few races this weekend

 

Just did a GT3 Gen2 race at Bathurst in the rain, The AI are really improved! Great close racing in the constant, heavy rain lol...Impressive!

 

I raced the M1 Procar at Kyalami. I was impressed by the AI. It was one of the most realistic single-player races I’ve ever experienced in 30 years of sim racing. Incredible!!! There’s nothing else like it!!!

 

I’d like to thank everyone involved in the development of AMS 2; this latest update really impressed me. I ran a few offline races, and the AI has clearly seen significant improvements—they defended their positions and forced me to take defensive lines, because if I left a gap, they would dive-bomb. Honestly, it was a very rewarding experience. Then today I did some online races with the GT3 Gen 2 cars, and wow—I can't quite put my finger on what changed, but I definitely noticed a difference. The funny thing is, my lap times didn't change and my setups worked perfectly. Reiza, you’re on the right track. I’m really looking forward to version 1.7 now, and—if you can answer this—I’d like to know if there’s any chance of including a qualifying system with Q1, Q2, and Q3 sessions?

 

The text descriptions for the new AI sliders is a bit too basic IMO.
All it says is that it can be adjusted, but doesn't describe what adjusting it up or down actually can do.
Needs more details for sure.
Great addition though !

 

I'm wondering if 1.7 should be tagged as 2.0? (Unless you have still better plans for 2.0!!)
