Track & Layout Used: N/A
Car Used: Stock Car 2017, Full Time Bassani #44 Alberto Valerio
Applicable Settings: N/A
Report: Car isn't part of 2017 Stock Car class, unable to race him
Steps to reproduce: Select the Stock Car series, choose the Stock Car 2017 opponent list, select a car different than the #44, set the AI opponents to 28 and try to race. Valerio won't be selected: instead, one of the other cars will be selected twice.

I was able to fix it by editing the .veh archive, changing the class from "StockV8" to "StockV8_2017". That'll do it.

 

got some weird stuff going on, but the crux of it seems to be something to do with my wheel (TM TX with 599 rim, stock pedals).

i had to reinstall windows clean & i'm on a fast build (whatever the latest is) so that may be it; also only have the AMS beta installed.

my user profiles are all over the place; they were on onedrive, moved to the documents folder have to the reinstall (had to create a new user), another new user created that ended up in a folder called "Windows 8" in AMS, & the latest is in the AMS root directory. this last one is the tracelog i included (from C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\AMSBeta\UserData\LOG).

wheel seems to be fine & have done several file verifications. on a few occasions i've somehow dodged the problem & had no issues in that session.

the issue is a CTD as soon as i leave the garage.

 

None of this is present in Reiza15.srs (SuperV8) I understand that the P2P shouldn't be there as it isn't relevant to the series. This might explain some of the issues?

 

There are hardcoded defaults, you don't need to edit them in anywhere generally.

(although I will make sure those defaults are correct for the next build)

 

Well for me the AI in this build are terrible, they weave from side to side and all over the place, maybe like they are switching lines all the time or something? They don't stay on the racing line at all and crash into each other? Somethings not right, have validated files but no better.

 

I'm not saying you are wrong or anything, but put aggression down to low if you prefer how it was before for now.

 

AMS v1.4.5r

Track & Layout Used: All
Car Used: All
Applicable Settings: Race
Report: When the race is over and all cars return to the pits, a big stutter happen when every car disappears in front of their garages. (I don't have any stuttering during the race, thanks to delete d3d9.dll, and I play with spotter on, with hdd installation).
Steps to reproduce: always when the cars return to their garages and disappears.

 

Will those AI parameters in SRS be used by car mods? I mean, if I put them in the mod SRS, will it be read by the game? This could be useful, as the modder could be able to fine tune AI in his car.

 

Yes, but the defaults should be sane and you shouldn't need to spend ages tweaking really.

 

Track & Layout Used: Doesn't matter
Car Used: Stock car V8 2015
Applicable Settings: Multiplayer mode
Report: Push-To-Pass NOT WORKING on multiplayer mode.
After second lap when you try to use P2P the game shows a message saying that you don't have push available anymore.
AMS version 1.4.5

 

Track & Layout Used:Montreal, Canada
Car Used: ARC Camaro
Applicable Settings: Race 30min
Report: The game calculates 1 lap too many to finish the race. I was racing a 30min race in pole position. On the start of lap 16 I got told "white flag". It should have finished at the end of lap 16, cause I saw the timer was zero (0:00:00) before I shortly crossed the finish line on my "presumed" last lap. Yet, I had to do another lap (lap 17) before I saw the checkered flag and was confirmed that I won the race.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Choose a 30min race setting
2. Choose ARC Camaro (although any car will do)
3. Choose Montreal, Canada as track
4. Race and be in the lead
5. Notice "white flag" report on last lap
6. Notice timer running out before finishing that lap
7. Notice how you did not actually finish yet, you must do 1 more lap to see the checkered flag.

 

Created a new player profile to see if that helps and noticed that this entry "AI to AI Collision Rate="40" // Detection rate per second (1-40) for AI-to-AI collisions" is still the same default, there was some discussion that this must be updated to 80, is this the case? I did change it and am not 100% sure whether it made any improvement? I did notice it changed the way the AI left the starting grid in previous build, not for the better either.

 

AMS v1.4.5r
Track & Layout Used: All
Car Used: Stock Car 2015 and 2017
Applicable Settings: Any
Report: In TV cockpit view the rear window silhouette is always visible in the virtual mirror, regardless of the self view setting.

 

AMS v1.4.5r
Track & Layout Used: All
Car Used: MetalMoro
Applicable Settings: Multi Parc Ferme = 1
Multi Free Settings = 13
Report: Parc Ferme does not work anymore. Doesn't matter what you set the free settings to, they're all still able to be changed once you advance from qualifying to Race.

Seems that in a lot of the Series files, Parc Ferme has simply been set to 0. Not sure if this is affecting it, but in the vast majority of cars, Parc Ferme does not work anymore.

 

AMS 1.4.5b, 1.4.5r
Track & Layout Used: Doesn't matter
Car Used: Doesn't matter
Applicable Settings: Create Multiplayer server
Report: When I create a server from the game (not a dedicated server), I choose a car class, Multiplayer, Create Game and then a vehicle, a track, the AI Drivers, AI Strength, AI Aggression, Race Time etc..., so when the server starts, everything is ignored, except of the car and the track. The number of AI Drivers is different, as well as AI Aggression, AI Strength, Race Time etc... When I create a dedicated server, everything is fine, but there is no choice for AI aggression.

(Probably) help: If I want to set the AI aggression, I run the game, choose a class, Single Race, AI aggression. I'll finish the game, then launch the game, launch a dedicated server and then play.

 

Track & Layout Used: Goiânia ST
Car Used: Super Truck
Applicable Settings: none
Report: Game freezes during loading.

Steps to reproduce: Select Super Truck, Time Trial, Goiania ST and go.

 

Please confirm setting for this as 40 or 80?
AI to AI Collision Rate="40" // Detection rate per second (1-40) for AI-to-AI collisions

 

Track Adelaide Street Circuit Clipsal 500
Car used Super v8
Problem Pace car crashes and gets stuck at the entrance to pit lane... pace car doesnt turn into the lane and is stuck facing the pit wall.
How to reproduce have a caution period where pace car leaves the pit lane.

 

so this is still happening, using default AMS at the moment..

 

Track & Layout Used: Curitiba Full
Car Used: Sotck Car V8 2015 & 2017
Applicable Settings: n/a
Report: AI aggression from medium to max. Qualifying lap finished down to zero. When the race starts after formation lap or skipping it, as soon as all AI crosses the checkered line, all of them drive to the rightmost side of the track(lane when coming out of pit stop) then come back to where they're supposed to and then hitting each other. Just to check, I used Boxer Cup and Formula Ultimate and did the same thing.
