Version: 1.6.9.91
Track & Layout Used: Sebring, but not relevant
Car Used: Corvette C5R, but not relevant
Applicable Settings: any race above 60 minutes or so, in this case it was a 80 minutes race
Report: Posting this here in the hope its a bug and not intended. The ammount of dirt build up on the player car is just too much, I think with the focus on endurance thats a visual effect that should get some sort of rework, or at least slowing down the build up a lot.



Specially considering the AI gets a reasonable dirt build up


12 hours of sebring winner for comparision right after the race:

 

Version: 1.6.9.91
Track & Layout: Curvelo Long (Brazil)
Car Used: McLaren Senna hypercar (tire rotation bug)
Weather Settings: Heavy Rain, Downpour or Thunderstorm
Report Details:

While recording footage with free-camera mode (Ctrl+F), two visual bugs were found:

1. The right-hand (passenger-side) wheels of the McLaren Senna have incorrect rotation logic. The wheel rims spin normally, but the tire treads rotate backward against the rims. Additionally, when switching to the central cockpit view, raindrops clip through the car roof into the cabin.
2. In cockpit view, the mini track map on the top-right HUD fails to display the driver’s current position correctly.

Reproduction Steps

1. Park the car on a gentle slope, shift to neutral gear and let the vehicle roll freely.
2. Activate free-camera mode (Ctrl+F) and zoom in on the right-side wheels. You can clearly see the tire treads rotating opposite to the wheel rims. Meanwhile, check the mini track map in the upper right corner to observe the incorrect position marker.
3. Switch to the central cockpit view; raindrops will visibly penetrate the roof and fall inside the vehicle.

Additional Request

We sincerely request the development team to add official Chinese localization to the simulator. Many Chinese players refrain from purchasing or playing this game due to the lack of Chinese language support. We Chinese players would be delighted and fully supportive if Chinese language options are implemented in future updates.

 

Track & Layout: Kyalami modern
Vehicle: Any
Session: Training/Qualifying

Report: When you skip the session, after simulating session by the game, no driver has set a time.
See screenshot below.

 

Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: P1 Gen2
Applicable Settings: Any
Report: The Sigma P1 G5 is consistently slower than other cars in class. It seems to drive erratically for some reason.
Steps to reproduce: Regarding the performance, it only takes a qualifying session with all the P1 G2 cars to realise. In the example below the fastest Sigma is ~2s slower than the fastest car. When driven by a player, the Sigma is often the fastest of the bunch.

Driving close to one of them might reveal the erratic driving.

 

Version: 1.6.9.91
Track & Layout: Any
Car Used: F-Vintage Gen 1 Model 1
Report Details: Right arm on the driver model is broken as highlighted here.

 

Version: 1.6.9.91
Track & Layout: N/A
Car Used: Aston Martin Valkyrie and Dodge Viper ACR.
Weather Settings: N/A
Report Details:
I'm having some problems regarding the overrides of the Aston Martin Valkyrie and Dodge Viper ACR.
No matter which material I choose, the car stays with the default color (like if there wasn't a texture), plus on the Valkyrie the driver model dissapears if you use a custom driver suit[

 

Version: 1.6.9.91.3398
Track & Layout Used: Circuit des 24 Heuers du Mans
Applicable Settings: any
Report: I wanted to start a Multiclass-Race with LMDH, LMP2 Gen.2 and GTE. See attached picture.

I tried also with LMP2 Gen.1, the same.
After that I tried with GT3 Gen 2., than I had all 3 classes in the race.
Steps to reproduce: Mulitclass race on Le Mans, select Classes LMDH, LMP2 Gen2 and GTE.

 

Its not a bug. Its because you dont have a LMP2.xml file ready.

 

Version: 1.6.9.91.3398
Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Formula HiTech Gen2 Model 2, but others could be affected
Applicable Settings: Seemingly, any (this is more an audio capture issue via OBS)

Report: Using direct application audio capture omits certain sounds from AMS2 in OBS recordings.

Steps to reproduce: Launch OBS, add an audio device to capture audio (eg. headphones). Start recording, hit the ignition switch in the Hitech, and rev the engine a little. Turn off the engine. Delete the device audio capture, and add an Application capture to OBS, select AMS2, repeat the steps of the car, start the engine, rev it a little, turn it off. Device Audio capture should have all sounds as normal, Application Audio Capture should have the ignition and engine revs missing.

AMS2 is the only game in my experience of recording via OBS application audio capture where sounds have come up missing - so this is not a setting specific issue to my current knowledge. Maybe something with how OBS hooks into AMS2 specifically, in terms of audio.

 

Version: 1.6.9.91
Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Formula Vitnage Gen 1
Applicable Settings: Custom livery , custom driver suit
Report: Custom gloves have a brown tint, seen with every and any color you choose for them. Easily visible when the gloves are meant to be white but render as this weird brown.

 

Version: 1.6.9.91
Track & Layout Used: N/A
Car Used: Maserati Trofeo GS
Applicable Settings: Custom DDS files
Report: Paintable rims not showing
Steps to reproduce: Use custom color RIMS dds.

As also discussed on AMS2 - User Livery Overrides thread, I tried to change the rims color on my custom skin, but apparently the game refuses to read the custom files. I tried to use two naming for the files, original from PSD file or the same as XML file:

It did not work. Also there are a few cars with (originally) black rims, but if we just replace it with a livery using body and preview only, the rims are automatically changed to silver, like this:

Original Livery


New skin (using custom rims DDS and also body+preview only, on both cases the rims are always silver)



Not only that, the support for custom tyres such as the modpack from Misty7299 is unexistent, as of now,I believe AMS2 only reads the body and preview DDS on this car.

Here I had to use ChatGPT to paint the wheels to show what I expected to look like when this possible bug is fixed:

 

Version: 1.6.9.91
Track & Layout Used: N/A
Car Used: Milano 55GT
Applicable Settings: irrelevant
Report: visual bug with the headlights
Steps to reproduce: enter in any event with it and look in the photo mode

when you look from an upper angle at the headlights they look fine, like this:


when you look at the headlight from the same level it gets weird, specially if you look at the left headlight, the lamps act like the outside housing isnt there and reflects too much, it just look jarring:

 

Version: 1.6.9.91
Track & Layout Used: N/A
Car Used: lmp1/2 2005
Applicable Settings: irrelevant
Report: selecting wet weather tires causes crash to desktop
Steps to reproduce: select any lmp1/2 2005 cars change setup to wet tires hit back or save and game will crash.

Hello just an issue iv run into with the 2005 lmp cars with wet tires causing crashes. Iv tried doing fresh install of the game and deleting my automobilista 2 folder in documents to reset settings but issue still happens on the current patch. If i role back via steam the game works fine.

Dose not effect other classes of cars from my testing. And happens on any track.

Did get this screenshot when setting tires to auto on a wet track though leaving the pits would still crash.

 

Version: 1.6.9.91
Track & Layout Used: Any
Car Used: Any
Applicable Settings: Multiclass
Report:
I‘ve had this bug many times but it occurred after starting a session then quitting, selecting new classes for a multi class race and then starting the session. It would then look like what you’ve posted.

Game restart always fixed things (so basically I had to frequently restart the game when doing multi class races)
