IMMERSION Modding Group mods

Impressive as always

 

Hello!

Question regarding Liveries and continuous updates to Ams2. Are older liveries created (2025 and prior) compatible with newer versions of Ams2 ?

 

They should be unless something with the template changed.

 

With 2024 indycar up and coming, it is time the MyTeam cars go under a new management with a new makeover too

Say hello to the IMG Honda

 

Any plans to update vehicle scalers and tyre brands to your existing f1 mods?

 

Yes, it's on the to-do list.

 

Awesome.

 

"Forti" in 1995 - power scalar 0.90, weight scalar 1.10, etc...
But I put better values, and it was enough to make 5-6 sec difference to pole on some tracks.
( power scalar 0.938, weight scalar 1.041, drag is 1.052).

 

What value do you put for the best team? 1.100 power, 0.900 for weight and drag?

 

That's too extreme I think. But it's necessary to experiment, 2 equal drivers (race skill the same, high consistency etc.) in the best and in the worst car, to see the difference. I haven't done it yet. But seems that power 1.030 is already noticable gap (if the worst power is 0.95), the same with drag and weight. It's more for 1988-1993 period.

 

Also F1-HiTech Gen2 cars of model2 (I think) are intrinsically faster than other models. One of them Williams, which is logical, but there are others like Jordan, Minardi. They require some offset of power scalar, I mean 0.978 for Sauber of 1993 is not low enough, it must no more than 0.94, otherwise J.J.Lehto will qualify on the front row regularly (his results were impressive though). And the same can be said for Fittipaldi, Barbazza... even Williams power scalar I made to 0.985, and they are still fastest.

 

Hello,
Can we expect the “Balance of Performance” updates for the '92 and '93 seasons in the near future? I'd really appreciate a quick update, since I'd like to start a season in one of those two racing classes soon.

 

I wouldn't say 'near future', but it'll be done as soon as we can. There's quite a bit of work involved to recalibrate it properly. It's still on the to-do list, but there are a few other things we're working on that are taking priority for now.

 

IMMERSION Modding Group’s IndyCar 2024 is available now here on OverTake. This is a standalone successor to the original IndyCar 2023 mod.


This scratch-made mod adds the 2024-spec car to AMS2 as part of a comprehensive recreation of the 2024 IndyCar season, with all 11 teams and three aerokit variants (road course, short oval and speedway). Two additional cars (IMG Chevy #80 and IMG Honda #53) are available as customisable player entries.



New for 2024:

• 2024 road/street aeroscreen model
• A unique push-to-pass/hybrid regen system (mapped to ‘Boost’):
  • Road/Street: 200 seconds P2P (20 seconds deployment per lap, not available on lap 1) with hybrid regen on braking
  • Ovals: Hybrid only with automatic trickle regen (and on braking)
• Rear wing rain lights
• Team-specific pit crew quality based on real data (affecting speed and error rate)

Features:

• 130+ liveries, 40+ helmets and Reiza-style menu preview images
• Detailed custom AI driver and team/car performance profiles based on over 200,000 laps of real performance data from the 2023 and 2024 seasons
• Individually tuned physics for Honda and Chevrolet engine specs
• Pre-configured grid presets for every round of the 2024 season
• Unique helmet model with animated ventilation hose
• Four steering wheel variants

Install instructions:

• We recommend using AMS2CM to install (follow their instructions)
• Uninstall any older versions of the mod first
• No DLC is required

Preset Selector:
Use the IMG Preset Selector to easily load presets for all 17 rounds of the 2024 season (plus the non-championship Thermal Club round) - with accurate liveries, AI drivers, helmets and tyres.


To use it:

• Before launching AMS2, run ' IndyCar 2024 Selector.bat' (it installs into the root of your game directory)
• Choose a preset by typing the relevant number and pressing Enter
• Launch the game as normal

Using the Preset Selector is optional, but you are missing out on lots of content if you stick to the defaults. The default configuration includes presets assigned to the three aerokit configurations available in the mod: St. Pete (street/road courses), Gateway (short ovals) and the Indy 500 (speedways). These load in game automatically depending on which track you pick.

Recommended AI opponent config in game:

• AI Aggression: Medium
• AI Mistakes: Standard

FAQ:

• Q: How do I make the aeroscreen pillar transparent?
• A: From the main menu in the game, go to Options - Gameplay - Display, and turn on "HIDE HALO STEM".
• Q: Why aren’t the P2P and Hybrid systems fully realistic?
• A: AMS2 only supports one ‘boost’ system per car, so we have created a compromise P2P/Hybrid system that aims to capture the dynamic of the real systems within the current limitations of the game engine

 

Very impresed with this one, found the cars really enjoyable to drive, however I think the default setup should be revised. I'd recommend increasing the default caster to 9.5-10 and reducing the default power ramp from 70 to about 60. Doing this makes the cars way more enjoyable to drive and enables me to feel the front end a lot more.
Massive job guys!

 

If only someone would make more tracks for Indycar\CART. First choices I see are not for me (Sochi, Bahrain etc.)
