Automobilista 2 V1.6 Developent Update - Changelog & Release Notes

I can never understand these kind of responses to messages when people ask for improvements. Like why even bother writing something like "not many people want this "source: trust me bro" therefore it is not an issue". You are not adding anything of value to the conversation by saying this, the equivalent of saying "I have no problems therefore problems do not exist".

And whether it is 5000 people or 5 people that want this does not matter, as long as people voice that they would appreciate the implementation of such a feature more people will be happy.

Also for me it is NOT just a slight inconvenience because with my VR rig i have to either use the gaze control which is uncomfortable when lookin far into corners of the screen or reach for my VR controller and go through virtual desktop.

 

Hello
This 1.6 version is fantastic, and I have no words to describe how good it is to race in the new physics. Great job Reiza!!
However, there are some problems in multiplayer, with small framerate freezes and invisible cars. I saw people crashing into invisible cars, I suffered from that, and I think my car also became invisible in one of the LFM races.
Entretanto, há alguns problemas no multiplayer, com pequenos frezzes nos frames e carros invisíveis. Vi pessoas batendo em carros invisíveis, eu sofri com isso, e acho que meu carro também ficou invisível em uma das corridas LFM.

 

LFM posted this for everybody having issues with the invisible colliding cars in multiplayer:
"We recommend everyone to set the option “Limit Visible Cars” to “off” to avoid the danger of invisible vehicles."

 

Alright calm down, just offering an opinion, this is a forum after all where we share our thoughts which we're all entitled to do

Besides, I'm not against the idea at all, in fact I'd very much welcome it but IMO it's a low priority item in the grand scheme of possible UI features to be added, that's all.

 

Still no (alternate) gear up/down binding? Do the devs know if this is gonna get added someday?

Btw the game feels more solid now. Thanks Reiza! Good work!

ps i would also like to see the "whistling" brake sound implementation, especially for the porsche cup cars

 

There is an alternate binding for shifting. I can use H-shifter / Paddles / Sequential at any time I choose without reconfiguring settings. When assigning shift Up / Down - see secondary inputs to the right of the primary inputs.

 

The update was worthwaiting and I am very happy with it, thank you team Reiza. Cold tires in the first laps and you notice that well, more contact feeling with the asphalt, great sound update, in short a new sim.

 

Okay, then i can offer my opinion that the next thing you will suggest in the future is low priority in the grand scheme of things. Sounds fair i'd say.

 

GP laps was doing some single player racing on 1.6.

Very odd AI moment took him out of the race, watch from 39.05

 

Pretty much every VR user. Yeah maybe the number of users is smaller, but still, if you see online, VR is a big selling point for AMS2, and it's currently a pain to use unless you take extra steps.

 

I use VR, I use the mouse, it's easy again for the final time I'd love if they could add it in, I really would.

 

Is it possible for admins to elaborate on
- Changed live track progression to target time progression rather than weather progression

It's a pretty intricate part of the sim and I think it would be good to know what settings should be used to recreate a bit quicker transitions, like they were before the change.
Because right now it feels like every transition takes forever, by design, but I'm not sure everyone gets how to affect that with the new Time Progression method.
Thank you, as always

 

I have a few questions to add onto this.

Does each rain weather pattern have a defined final track state associated with it?
Example: If I have 3 hours of light rain is the track ever going to call for wet tires? Or will it always maintain at “moist”.

Does each weather pattern have an amount of rain tied to it that’s supposed to reach a final total, or is it just the average downpour. Or how does that work

Does water drainage vary per track? I know temps matter at least.

Basically if possible I’m requesting some backing knowledge in order to more easily create wet race scenarios calling a need for wet tire swaps or vice versa at specific times. A better understanding of the system would be useful.


Thanks Reiza Team!

 

What have you done, Reiza? When I first entered the game after updating to 1.6, I tried one of my favourite classic car: the Porsche 962 from the Group C class on Jacarepaguá. After just two laps, I could not remove the smile on my face. It is unbelievable what you have done to the graphics, the physics, the sounds... I am trully impressed and I think it is more than I could have expected.

Cars now feel very convincing to me. I like rFactor 2 very much, and some formula cars like the Formula USA 2023 remembered me to the handling of that sim (which I like a lot), so I am really happy.

You have done an impressive job, and I hope you get a really well deserved rest. And of course, I can't wait to what you have prepared for us after you recharge your batteries .

Thank you!!

 

I hope Renato and crew documented this update process somehow because what they accomplished is mega. There had to be a day, a moment, a certain release, when the entire team realized how much of a breakthrough it had made. Obv it was more than one thing because the update covers so much. But there had to be a moment when the whole team, exclaimed, "Eureka!"

 

Please add a wet AI difficulty setting to the championship mode, as well as a setting to allow bots to make mistakes. I have set up my ideal championships with a variety of weather scenarios, but it is very disappointing not to have this feature available.

 

I think we all had our moments. We all tend to work on different parts of the sim, so it happens at different times. But I think we all knew we were on to something near the end.

 

It is amazing that among all the big changes in the 1.6 dev cycle you guys even managed to fix little details like that (which always irritated me more than they should have). Reading the chanelog is mindblowing and I cannot thank the whole team at REIZA enough for their efforts.


Greetings from Germany to Brazil! Enjoy your time, be proud of yourselfs - and I am going to stay off the forum for a good while and just enjoy the ride in AMS2.

And to the rest of the community I say: See you on the hypetrain for 1.7 it was a fun ride!

 

Is it possible, that some cars haven't got the new tires? I can drive the Formula V10 however I want. It sticks to the road without any oversteer, almost no matter how I abuse it.

 

It has TC and maybe drove like that IRL
