The Feature Request Thread...

With now further GT1 cars coming, I so wish to see GT2 cars!

 

You might wanna wait for social media news on that one

 

Enable Tyre warmers Option
Better Shadows
Please do something with the tyre sound. Its awful and missleading

 

Would it be possible to expand the driver affinity stats screen to include maybe ten cars and tracks rather than just three? I really like this page and the limited amount of stats we are provided, but more would always be welcomed.

 

Very good 'Automobilista 2 September 2025 Development Update'

About step 3 of multiplayer, it will be very good to be able to force an entrylist with
- car/livery id
- first & last name of each driver

And the cherry on the cake, for the broadcaster to be instantly with the right role

 

For me, ams2 is getting better and better, with spectacular content. The diversity is excellent, and the grids for the different classes are well-filled. However, there's one thing I'd like Reiza to pay attention to in its implementation: the game should support at least 128 button assignments. This is because if we have a steering wheel with more than 64 buttons, buttons 65 and above aren't supported. Often, these are encoders, which leaves us somewhat limited by the hardware.

 

Agreed, also multi position switches can't be used as intended, you have to have them in encoder mode which cuts their usability back, especially with a number of wheels now offering multi position switch functionality.

 

nice additions but the game needs eye tracking support for vr. its lagging behind its competitors

 

Is Pescarolo 2005 is expectable in the future ? To complete the 2005 Lmp class ? Its already a banger btw

 

i pray and hope one day ford will be in the game! ik its a huge stretch but v8 supercars would be great considering there hasnt been a new v8 game since the 2000s, and the ones they do team up with suck or are too expensive

 

I would like to see more new "Grade 1 Tracks" for the fast cars.

Edit: And some maybe obscure of the old days: Kyalami 92, Dijon, Anderstorp and stuff like that.

 

The ability to be able to change control configuration while already in a lobby.
I.e. Switching from wheel to another, it has different button mappings, etc. I have to exit to the main menu to switch the control configuration in the AMS2 settings. it would be great if we could do this while in game.

 

A tool for the multiplayer server, for example, to set a track rotation but with fixed vehicles. So that the track rotates randomly but the vehicles are set the same.

And besides, the MX-5 Cup would also be great for multiplayer. I think it would be a lot of fun.

 

The lap on the Nordschleife is so long that a lot of gamers tend to bail out if they have to wait more than 5 minutes (or something like that). It's a pity that there was a good grid at the end (at t=0) of a session, but after 8 minutes it's just a third of the grid. And if I'm looking at monitor view I see a guy out there, he's just learning the track and unaware of the fact that everyone is waiting for him. Could there be an option to shorten the inlap or restrict the time after the timer of the session is at 0?

 

I would really like to see the ability to configure for a race the exact list of AI opponent cars you want on the grid and their count.
The current algorithm automatically populating the grid in 'Same Class' mode is too restrictive. See this post for more details of its shortcomings.

I understand making an UI for such functionality might be difficult as it would require the ability to add/delete individual cars and configure their number.

As a middle ground, this could be implemented as XML files. An XML file would contain the list of cars to constitute the grid, and for each car their number and (optionally) a livery list to use. The XML file could also contain the information to restrict its use to a list of tracks.

The 'Opponent Field Type' setting could then be expanded to list these XML files past the existing 'Identical', 'Same class' and 'Multi-Class' choices.

Going the XML route would allow for people to share their preferred grids and it would add even more variety to the AMS2 sandbox.
It would also allow the ability for a developer to create an external UI program to create/edit these XML files.

 

I would like to have daily events

 

Isn't there already a timetrial of the week?

 

future f1 dlc would be nice to cover the gap between 2000 and 2013 season, my guess is V10 gen 3 to cover last season with v10 engine and V8 pack based on 2008 season last with grooved tires

 

A licensed 2008 Mclaren car (seeing as Lewis is a honorary Brazilian too) would be amazing.

 

My main wishes for AMS2

First, let's start with a big satisfaction: since the 1.6.6 update, the handling of the cars (well, not all the AMS2 cars because, on the one hand, there are so many of them and, on the other hand, there are some that I simply never drive!) has really improved, and it's now a real pleasure to drive Group C cars, whereas before, it wasn't that much fun...
Now, I'd like to look to the near future so that AMS2 can finally establish itself as the benchmark simulation and so that we can all enjoy it to the fullest. How can I influence this?
Simply: by expressing what I want in terms of developments!
So, I'm well aware that these will remain my wishes, which will surely not be shared by everyone. For example, modern cars don't interest me much; I prefer historic ones (yes, and some would say that's because I'm old!). Or maybe multiplayer doesn't really concern me because I prefer to face AI that won't complain about my possible mistakes. In short, you'll understand, I don't claim to be universal, but I still think that specifying my wishes can be useful... So, I'll do it here.
First, I'll start with what I don't think is a priority: I'm not asking for more new cars or new tracks!
There are already plenty of them in AMS2, and this isn't where real progress needs to be made (still in my opinion). Of course, we simracers are spoiled brats, and if Reiza whispered to me that they were working on a historic version of Sebring (the 1970 one) or the Dijon track, I'd already be salivating, instantly forgetting my previous good resolutions...
Anyway, back to my priorities... I only ask two things: 1- that the flags finally be functional on a majority of tracks, and not just the blue flag at Le Mans... 2- that session recording be finally offered and operational.
As for the flags, I find they're really lacking, especially the yellow flag. You arrive at the final chicane at Silverstone 1975 to realize (a little late!) that a car is sideways and blocking the way. Even Crew Chief didn't tell you anything... and for good reason: he didn't know anything about it since yellow flags didn't exist yet. It's a real shortcoming and takes away from the immersion quite a bit. Session recording is already available on LMU, just as it was with rFactor2. I'm not saying it's a simple feature, but it's really useful, even essential when you're doing long races (endurance). It's all the more annoying since it's already partially available on AMS2... But yes, when you're racing in a championship, the sessions are already recorded: if you leave after qualifying, when you return to the championship a few days later, AMS2 doesn't require you to redo qualifying for that round... The results are recorded and define the starting grid for the next race. Of course, I'd like more than that, but since it's already partially available, why not extend it to all "race weekends" and not just the championship?
There you go, I'm not asking for more, even though I wouldn't balk at a well-designed and attractive career mode. Once these gaps are filled, you will have the green light to start offering us car/track combos that will make the competition cry... by the way, when will Dijon and the Jaguar Group C (and the Lancia Group C while we're at it!) be coming?
