Featured Automobilista 2 V1.6 Development Update - The New Cars

Thank you very much!
I've been around here for several years and have never noticed this.

 

It isn't relevant in Authentic...you are correct.

 

So I went in and set keybinds for T and A. Set them both to Low (which seems to have been the default) and I never will touch them again. I have Authentic and will use TC+/- and ABS +/- from here on out. If that's wrong then this is way over complicated.

 

Thank you for verifying that, Marc!

 

If the game loses abs and tc whilst in a multiplayer lobby then the only way to get it working again is by toggling those settings. I have always used high though.... Is that cheating?

 

I know what you mean. But I think actually only the hypercar is not interesting there, the Super Trofeo can be quite fun especially if online platforms like LFM will use them in the races. So I will buy the DLC to have the full set of cars and support Reiza.

 

The content manager concept is for AMS 2 content. The new system of presets fulfils most of it, un my opinion. You pick a preset and all the irrelevant stuff (cars and tracks) are hidden away and you get umpteen settings adjusted appropriately for the series or style you have picked.

You can switch to another with the click of a button, or, go back to "all cars and tracks" with a different click.

We already have a wonderful content manager for mods, from the community.

This is not to say that Reiza will not do more or differently in the future, but what I see in 1.6 addresses the issue of too much content to wade through when you only want to find "x" or "y."

 

I don't play MP but with LFM I may jump in, so I'll leave the keybinds set just for this reason. Now it makes more sense to me with Marc's clarification and the need for the keybinds if playing MP.

 

No. There is a menu about realism where you can set TC and ABS to "authentic" and then there is another tab where you can set driving aids to "low". That is in the menus before you even get to the garage in a session. Then in the garage you can set TC and ABS to numbers normally

 

Makes no sense to anyone but the studio that built Madness Engine. However as Crimson said, it is like this and cannot be undone for the time being. So to make the better out of what we have that is the recommended setting

 

It's broken.

All we should have to do is set to Authentic and use the 1-10 for those vehicles that have aids and ignore for all other vehicles.

But, there are occurrences where the 1-10 controls are inadvertently lost and the only way to get them back quickly (e.g., if you are in the middle of an online session) is to cycle the global driving aids that can be mapped to a keyboard key. The other way is to exit the session or game, which obviously is not optimal if you are online in a session you want to stay in.

For the majority of us, especially if the majority of usage is offline or online with older vehicles, you just set the global setting to Authentic and all works as it should. The global aids add crude levels TC or ABS to all vehicles regardless of whether they had them in real life. That is for beginners or people with controllers that don't work well enough to handle authentic settings.

Since 90% of the online seems to be GT3's with their reliance on electronic aids, this is a major panic in the community

 

the functionality seems to get lost when you drive a car without the aids, then jump in a car that does have those aids, but doesn't happen all the time i think, which probably makes it difficult to pinpoint the cause and fix it....

edit:
it doesn't happen only in multiplayer btw, in test day i experienced the issue as well

 

Today is a good day. I finally understand. Thanks for everyone's patience and explanations.

 

To be honest, that only happened to me 1 time 2 years ago. Maybe I got lucky

 

the original key bindings fot tc and abs are j and k by the way

 

I only drive one car lol and only play multiplayer and it still happens. Maybe it happens if the host leaves the game, then the settings come from the new host. To be it normally happens at the start of a race, and if I don't notice the icons I sure do notice at T1. Anyway this is probably the wrong forum to be posting this but I sure do hope the new cars have authentic TC and abs. I'm dangerous without it.

 

Can someone with beta access comment about VR in the new version? Has performance taken a hit? Has the UI configuration thing improved?

 

I myself am mostly interested in the Lamborghini Pack 1 for the Super Trofeo class since I was hoping for that actually in a potential Lamborghini DLC. 3 / 4 cars interest me with the GT3 and GTP too.

 

Imo the point of the prospective content manager was to manage the game install size, not just to hide the unused content.

EDIT: I have to correct myself, Renatos OP in March 2024 Development Update about content manager was only about customizing content you are using - and yes, that's exactly what presets are about. Managing install size was asked about in the comments but I think it didn't get an answer.

 

It’s a tricky bug because it won’t be there one version of the game build but will come with the next . and vise versa. so you can go long periods without issues then next update it’s quite prevalent.
