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

Each update of AMS 2, since initial release, has made it more realistic. That means you need to think and learn and adapt less to "video game" inputs and behaviours.

In my opinion, the change from 1.5 to 1.6 is the largest incremental move towards realism yet. There will be nothing to re-learn, just much to enjoy as each vehicle responds more intuitively and naturally. That means the differences in the vehicles are more vivid. Their changing states from cold to warm to overheated are more vivid. The handling and braking are more authentic. I rarely have to think about AMS 2 being a sim now...just drive it as I would the real thing and expect the same rewards and punishments based on my skill level and attention span...not whether I can twitch memorize certain manoeuvres that make the cars go fast.

I am sure there will be more physics-related improvements in the future, but they will be marginal. We have finally arrived with 1.6.

 

Absolutely, fair point.

Fair point, absolutely. I suck at forums lol

 

1000% agree with you!!!
I think I've said this in here before. Racing (imo) is about getting the most out of yourself and the car in any given conditions. If I change software and it's a different feel from ams2 to ams to rfactor etc it's about me then understanding and finding the limits of each car and being adaptable. Realism in a simulated environment will always be a pipe dream. If your serious about driving and racing though learn to be adaptable.

 

Now, try that in Brazil.
