The Feature Request Thread...

Automobilista 2 needs LFM or own ranked servers implementation directly into the game ASAP. As a 99% online racer I moved last week to Project Motor Racing and even I prefer AMS2 over PMR, I will stay there only because I can find populated race server(s) anytime of the day. I am also member of LFM but usually I can not enter the races during evenings "prime time" when servers are populated due my family/business matters. I am silver in LMU, where I could race any time of the day, but mayhem on their servers is not for me.

Please Reiza, listen your faithful online racing community and offer us ranked servers directly in the game. I know you can do it.

 

Currently, the ultimate destination for authentic online sim racing is iRacing—bar none. Other games have no chance of surpassing this title in terms of operational quality and online experience in the short term. Although it is expensive, it has maintained stable operations for years and continues to attract a large, dedicated player base, including Verstappen... Well, organizing fair, large-scale, long-form authentic racing events is not as simple as you might imagine—it's not just about buying a good server... If this were a large-scale online game, it would require developers, operational staff, experience, rules, as well as player默契 and hardware coordination. Only through the collective efforts of everyone can fair and exciting large-scale races be held.

The online features that LMU has been heavily promoting are utterly pathetic—the single-player content is lacking, and the online experience is a mess. We should learn from this lesson.

Those who actively oppose me likely have too little understanding of online games. An online game that costs $200,000 to develop requires $3 million to barely survive and $6 million to operate relatively comfortably. In contrast, a single-player game with simple, lightweight online services can be sustained with almost a fraction of the cost.

Forcing Reiza to make large investments to move closer to iRacing's model—either by making the game as expensive as iRacing and having us repurchase it, or by risking the destruction of this small studio—is something no one wants to seeNever compete with the strong using your weakest points—forging your own path is the way to survive.

 

Must have been requested before but it would be great to see a more complete line up added to excellent 2005 content - cars and tracks. The hype created for this era by PMR and it's disappointing release state has left the door wide open for AMS2 to walk into.

Oh, and we need a save game function for people that can't do endurance races in one stint.

 

For VR users with GPUs with 12GB or less of VRAM, will be nice an individual texture quality setting just for track marks. Texture streaming is really heavy in Madness Engine, with huge performance gains with MEDIUM and LOW, but the most noticeable degradation in visuals are the asphalt marks.

Will be amazing to save resources with all textures LOW, and track marks HIGH.

Maybe it's easy to do, because Madness Engine uses an independent texture layer for this.

 

As a formula fan, i really hope to see;
- more tracks, more historical layouts (like Sakhir, Paul Ricard, Magny Cours, Hungaroring);
- F1 2005-2008 gen;
- more damage for AI after collisions (it's a crazy, when just a small touch makes my car undriveble, but AI going through without any troubles);
- better HUD & timing (gap to leader in qualify like in real life with purple, green and yellow timings);
- possibility to see all the lap times in session, not just a quickest one.

 

It would be nice if the sim could have wheel tethers on the f1 cars that had them (1999 onwards)

 

A list of keyboard shortcuts would be nice

Request Title: Time Trial Leaderboard Filter

Description: To request the addition of a toggle or dropdown filter for the Time Trial leaderboards, allowing users to sort results based on specific parameters—primarily the use of driver aids. I’ve attached a *rough* sample mock-up of how such a filter could be presented with very-basic selectable options.

Benefits:
While the global leaderboard would remain unchanged, users would gain the ability to generate customized views based on their preferred driving style and level of authenticity. Drivers who run without aids or who prefer “authentic” conditions could easily compare their times against others using similar parameters, without unrelated entries obscuring the results.

As demonstrated by Krisp’s AMS2 Leaderboard tool, this information is already captured and can be incorporated. Integrating it directly into the in-game leaderboard would make this data accessible to all players without the need for third-party resources.

Adding this feature would preserve the integrity of the global leaderboard while giving players new filtering tools to enhance their experience.

Thanks,
Colin

We already have the tracks in AMS2, would LOVE these cars

 

My proposal is two tracks: the Ricardo Tormo circuit and Motorland Aragon

 

Hello Reiza! I would love to see some more modern day Formula cars.... ie the Dallara F2 and F3. Right now there is a pretty big jump from the lower end open wheelers to the high end ones. It would be nice to have something more modern in between.

 

I wish there was a weather radar on the AMS2 HUD like in Gran Turismo 7; it would be good for viewing or strategizing pit stops.

 

That's a good point and I totally forgot about that.

 

The upcoming HUD update will have a widget for weater forecast:
[...] while new widgets conveying the current and upcoming environmental and weather status will allow users to react to the situation around them and get the information for better-informed strategy decisions.

Requests:
1: Ability to share custom championships.

2: Ability to share, export, and import liveries from the game interface.

 

Might have been requested before, but in case it got buried:

• Make the replay "onboard" camera behave like other cameras in the game: Click button once to change from one camera to the next, fixed order these cameras rotate between (instead of random), and no automatic changing from one camera to another.

I love the TV-style onboard camera in most cars and would love to spend more time in replays using it, but selecting them via the button is done at random, and every few seconds the game switches to another camera. That's annoying and doesn't really serve much of a purpose, IMHO.

 

I'm not asking for more servers or more advanced servers, but a well defined calendar of daily races accessible from inside the game: that would be a step forward.

 

I like AMS2, but it lacks the ranked races available in the game itself.
There are lots of car classes, but what's the point if there are no daily races?
Playing through LFM is inconvenient, and not everyone knows about this portal.
This functionality should be in the game.
Players are scattered across portals, making it seem like no one plays this game.
