The Feature Request Thread...

Now I know AMS2 has plenty of F1 content, but the one thing I so wish you guys at Reiza could add would be, a Formula Reiza V8 based on either the 2007 or 2008 season. Among the more controversial and exciting years of F1!

 

Today it occurred to me that there is currently no way to adjust tire pressure while on track. At least I could find no way to do so. Is that correct?

What I'd like to see is

1. Options to schedule changes for things like tire pressure and small setup adjustments (i.e. aero?) if allowed by the series/preset.
2. Ideally this should not just come as an additional menu page in the current ICM, but also as a separate full-screen menu you can enable during pit stops that
3. also pauses the game in any non-multiplayer session.

Stuff like tire pressure is often adjusted during pit stops in some series even for sprint races, and for endurance (which the upcoming content is focusing on) setup changes - at least minor ones - should be enabled as well, so long as they are allowed by the series' rules.

The way it is now you'd have to have a separate setup preset - which are severely limited in number (last time I checked) - just to change tire pressure. Not exactly an ideal solution (and generally speaking, the cumbersome nature of the ICM and limited adjustment options for pit stops is one of the things stopping me from doing longer races).

 

Can we get onboard blue light?

I think it's in every GT3/GTE/LMDH car.

e.g:

Alpine A424

Porsche 911 GT3R

 

I've been driving Group C cars at Sebring recently and every time I bottom out over that massive bump on the exit of 17 onto the front straight, or if I dip a wheel into the dirt and clip the inside edge of that kerb on the exit of 7, the real life experience in me says "Bet that messed up the floor".
And for cars utilising ground effect, that could be critical.

I'd like to see the ability to damage your underfloor in cars that are aero dependent.
Be that by bottoming out on big bumps, running over sausage kerbs, driving into the gravel, etc.

Hell, I'd just love some kind of hardcore damage mode where even just overly aggressive driving can damage the car. Damaged suspension or bodywork from hitting big kerbs too hard or dipping a wheel over the outside edge of a kerb, the aforementioned damage to the floor, grass in radiators causing overheating, punctures from debris on track.

Heck, even just the addition of more random things like tyre failures, sticky injectors causing a misfire, a coolant leak that requires coming into the pits to get fixed (it happens, man...).

But mainly I'd like to see things that punish driving the car too hard.
In real life you need an amount of mechanical sympathy for your machine or it simply won't last. It'd be nice to require that same level of care in the sim too.

The sky is the limit with random stuff like this.
Hit a bump too hard at night? Too bad. Now you only have one intermittent headlight. Deal with it.
Car in front clipped the gravel and threw at stone at you?
Well now your windshield is cracked. Deal with it.
It's started raining?
Ope! Your wiper motor has malfunctioned. Deal with it.
ABS? Random failure. Deal with it.

I wanna feel not only the highs of racing, but the lows too.
Because while racing is incredible, it also really sucks sometimes.

 

The advanced damage model is enabled with the "random failures" setting, and you can already get a coolant leak if your radiator opening is set too low and the oil overheats. But i do agree that not having any underbody damage feels like an oversight, and as a missing feature. There should be more possibilities to damage components of the car from overdriving and also tire punctures.

 

Hello! Please, as long as you plan to add "Milano", please add it to GT-3 (Gen 1 and Gen 2), and also create the "Milano Challenge" series.

 

I would like to see historical Long Beach (F1, CART.. )

 

I'd love something somewhere between old school Gran Turismo license tests, Assetto Corsa challenges and the current AMS2 time trial.

I envision a whole slew of challenges some of them lap times with particular cars with variation in the challenges with weather conditions etc (and what a cool usecase of the different year presentations of circuits!) but then some are half laps, some are a couple of corners and some could be reaction time off the line. Weekly challenges could be about "Can you beat complete S1 of 1991 spa with a bigger gap to Prost than Senna did?" and so on.

Something useful to improve skills but also something fun to do besides doing races (which I obviously love!)

 

I want Magny Cours !

 

Paul Ricard would also be so cool. And yes I know many don't like it, but I absolutely adore it! xD

 

The modern Paul Ricard layout looks absolutely hideous when viewed from above but i love driving on it. And historic layouts of it would also be amazing. "French Tracks DLC" is what i would hope for at some point including Dijon Prenois and Magny-Cours.

 

Piggybacking on @CrapsJarrard mentioning Premiun Track DLCs, I think we are due for another set of premium tracks (pt2) like at the start of AMS2's life.
Premium Track Part 2
- Hungaoring
- Albert park
- Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez
- Monaco
- Bahrain
All tracks with history (and historic versions), and like most from the first have been on the F1 calender for years and look to stay for a while.
Bahrain and Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez support other series and have a lot of different layouts.

Hoping this comes as the endurance cycle winds down and maybe a transition to Formula focus with the new regulations

 

Now I adore the Indy track for the Indy 500, but I am just not a fan of the current GP course. How about bringing these historic layouts?

 

I would like to see Mexico in AMS2.

 

I think it would be great to have the ability to select to be the only car in class. Such as the G56 Camaro in Le Mans 2023.

 

Check out the BMW GT3 Gen2 - it has a blue LED stripe under its roof that turn on with the headlights. Maybe this was part of v1.6.8.1 but I am not sure.

Would be nice if we had those in all modern endurance cars even if the effect is not perfect yet (it 'illuminates' buttons and switches by brightening their textures but does not really light up the dark parts of the dashboard, wheel, hands, ...)

 

The Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO II also has it, but its light is so weak

edit: Audi R8 EVOII also but the same weak light

 

Can player lap times be added to the HUD in game leader board?
Lap times show up in the replays but I don’t see a way to add them to HUD for use while racing.
Tks

 

While on track open up the options menu > edit hud, there on the bottom left there's the option to display laptimes.

 

Custom classes to fill it with the cars/liveries we would like to see on the track (for single race and championships), and being able to have duplicate liveries (for example, the Ligier LMP3 only having 4 liveries, if I want a class with only 10 LMP3s).

It would be awesome to have that for even splitting the GT3 G2 into a GTD Pro and a GTD custom classes.

I'm not that savvy when it comes to mods, so this would be a cool feature to have.
