The Feature Request Thread...

Please add the ability to choose which weather conditions will be random so that you can avoid unnecessary weather conditions such as storms.

 

I'd really like to be able to choose temperature in °C and tyre pressures in p.s.i.

 

I've got a bit of a content wishlist. I am DELIGHTED with what AMS2 offers already and the upcoming 2005 GT1 cars and leaked US Stock Cars would have been on my list so I'm already super happy. (Would faint with happiness at a Lister Storm though... )

Vintage Content
I use the Vintage Gen2 a lot and would like a few more 60s/70s tracks to use them on.
Vintage Le Mans, Monaco and maybe one more from that era would be brilliant.
Some 60s/70s classic GT Cars would be great. The obvious trio is Ford GT40, Porsche 906 and Ferrari 330- but I'm sure we could make do with a generic model in place of an official Ferrari.

Group C
I love the Group Cs we have but the 787b is sorely missed. A truly classic unique racing car. I'd love a Jaguar XJR09, Peugeot 905 and perhaps a Toyota 88C to go with it if I'm doing a wishlist.

We have great 90s versions of tracks as it is but of course a 90s Le Mans would get a lot of use out of me!

90s BTCC and JGTC
I am aware that the Super GT is notoriously difficult to license but it would be a day 1 purchase for me, even if the models were fairly generic. BTCC has shown up recently in RRRE, PMR and prominent AC mods and I feel it could potentially replace the tired GT3 class as the go-to in racing sims. (actually if I could pick it would be the 2000 season of JGTC)

Modern Tracks
My favourite tracks not currently in the game are Sepang, Shanghai, Macau, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Bahrein, Sonoma and Portimao. The first 3 and second 3 fit fairly neatly into geographical track packs... To be honest there are some great-looking track mods out there already but if any of them became official I think we'd all happily pay for them!

Longshot s2000
Finally the long shot of all long shots...if you created some sort of s2000 cup/touring car I would lose my mind. My favourite car of all time and would love to have a version available in the best sim available.

Now that's all off my chest I should be able to sleep. Love your work and I'll be here regardless of what you do and don't add. Cheers!

 

I'm noticing that lapped AI cars are slowing down even more now. When doing multiclass it makes it incredibly difficult on both ends since not only do I unfairly gain so much time on fellow GT3's but AI GTP's are getting even more slowed down since the GT traffic is slowing down even more. Would be nice if the lapped cars didn't slow down and get off line so it is realistic.

 

Hoping there is an extended standalone pedal telemetry widget coming with the new HUD.


Something similar to this would be very useful

 

In the championship mode, it would be nice if the scoring type could be configured for each race, not just for the championship. This would allow for a championship to be recorded with longer or shorter rounds, awarding more or less points.

In terms of presets, there's a Super V8 Street category with only two circuits: Adelaide and Bathurst. It would be interesting to rename this preset to Super V8 and add a few more: Pukekoke (which no longer exists) and Surfers Paradise. F1 circuits have also been used, such as Yas Marina, Bahrain, and Shanghai... just to give you some ideas. Project Cars 3 obtained the licenses for Bahrain and Yas Marina... this should be possible...

 

I would like to draw attention to the following:

All cars have the Lifeline rain light
(like on the new Aston GT3 EVO model because that's right)
except the Ferrari 296 GT3 (future) that is Next Solution Rain Light FIA Standard.

This currently missing from all car models​

Did you guys see the new gameplay trailer for Project Motor Racing? And did you notice all the dirt / rubber / particles in the air? For example around 01:52 in the video:

I think AMS2 could really benefit from some more gritty effects like these as it already looks amazing but (in my opionion) still a little too clean or sterile. Yes, occasionally a piece of rubber flies around but all those litte partcles from the video (combined with nice soundeffects when they hit the players car) could add a lot of immersion.



(Yes, i already asked for optional quicker dirt-build-up on cars and windshields since in my opinion this is a great way to show what those magnificent machines are enduring while racing for hours on end.)

 

It feels a bit strange and unnatural, so maybe these are not particels but graphical issues?

 

No, they are particels. You can see its grass and dirt getting thrown up in the air. Just like in Iracing

 

I know it's not everyones cup of tea. If additional particle effects are added it should be optional via the visual settings (since it would also affect the performance). I think a lot of users would appreciate this.

 

I always had hoped that some rocket scientist would have made a mod by now for the issue of car selection in multi-class groups or even for single groups for selecting the exact liveries, I haven't given up hope yet. I guess your XML idea is good idea, I personally wouldn't know anything about that or how it would work but if it existed, it would open up a lot more choice in the game and I would definitely use it.

 

How does AMS2 behave if you create AI overwrite files that contains less liveries than available? Does that limit the AI drivers to these liveries or does the game still add those liveries with the base AI names? If the first one is the case it should be possible to develop a tool that creates and puts XMLs in your game to create a custom grid

 

This would be great for VR users. I have to use lots of different apps to have a similar widget in Quest 3.

 

Can we get a little wrinkle lift?

FIXED V1.6.8.5

 

Hello, I'm very excited for the future of Automobilista 2. And especially Nascar.
I hope other ovals will also arrive to have an interesting result. For example, a short oval is missing. The driving is different on this type of track, and it would be great if AMS2 could offer this kind of experience, regardless of the circuit. Milwaukee or New Hampshire would be ideal. Milwaukee has the advantage of not belonging to Nascar (which might be reluctant to license circuits when a dedicated Nascar game has been released), and has been used for CART. New Hampshire has a very original road course that would appeal to everyone. Hoping to see something like this in the future...

 

I would rather ovals that actually are on the Nascar and were also on the CART calendar, plus have road courses. Also the last Forza game has Homestead and Daytona and that was already with the official license being with iRacing. I would like to see Homestead and Charlotte because they have road courses too, but true also a short track like Richmond or New Hampshire would be good.

 

I hope Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez will be in AMS2! Bring on these layouts:

 

I agree, Charlotte and Homestead would also be great additions. If Brasilia Outer and Goiania Outer were available in reverse, I would definitely use them.

 

Touring Car Masters

I think they would sit quite nicely alongside the available circuits.

I would also like to see Autopolis
