The Feature Request Thread...

I hope you guys are aware that now players will demand a new car pack with more 'regular' street cars to act as obstacles on track.

We have a lot of hyper- and super cars, but "if everyone's super, no one will be!" - Syndrome (The Incredibles, 2004)

 

I would love to have a car pack with regular street cars!

 

I'll put my hands up and say that I don't want this but then I'm not a Nordschlieffe kinda guy anyway.

If its only for traffic might as well add mod cars as it wouldn't matter how they handle or sound.

 

You are right. Automobilista 2 calls itself a Motorsports Simulator - adding daily drivers to the mix would be nice-to-have but this scenario is quite niche and the devs should focus their ressources on race cars instead of becoming the next Gran Turismo or AC Evo.

I rest my case and wish everyone here wonderful holidays!

 

Firstly, hello reiza team & thank you for making this game what its become.

So basically, I think adding some sort of "Recent" or "Currently browsing" player invite list that new lobby hosts could use in order to fill up brand new lobby's would increase overall player count online. As well as a option to not receive such notifications, or just implemented in a way that doesn't make it annoying to receive tons of invites [since it would probably occur a good bit due to the amount of people who create new lobby's]. Currently we have to wait until people join a session manually and I've noticed its hard to get people to join new or low player count lobby's due to this. I don't think its cause of the way they setup the race sessions either since most of them are setup the same as how the more populated ones from what I've seen. Every now and then a ripple effect will occur where 1 person will join a new lobby with low player count, then shortly after a few more until its a decent size but it rarely occurs. I've also noticed that there's almost always a good amount of lobby's with just 1 person sitting in them and having to scan through each lobby to see whether its in a joinable state/compatible dlc wise or not is kind of tedious which detracts from the server browser, since sometimes it isn't fully updated, and when u try to join a lobby that seemingly is in practice or quali its already started a race.

I apologize if this has been requested already I just didn't know what to search for in order to find a topic about this since its kind of a niche suggestion, but I think it would make a noticeable impact on overall experience of trying to host race sessions and online player count. If you read this post thank you and sorry for making it so long.

 

If we want to get pedantic (and who doesn't?!), you could make a case for setting production car lap records being a form of motorsport.

That being said, I also get where you are coming from. Given the new road cars have existing racing car variants in-sim already, I can't imagine it took too tremendous an effort to get them done.

I am also a bit biased here as that Viper is one of my favorite production cars of all time.

Merry Christmas.

 

Make some single-colour liveries for the Minis and the TSI-cup cars, and there’s your daily drivers

 

It is better just understand that not every single DLC made for a game is made for you.

And i would also disagree it being "niche scenario" since regularly when i looked through the server browser i found MANY "multiclass" 24 hour practice sessions of the Nurburgring and having the maximum amount of classes available, with people doing trackday sessions.

 

This is awesome, looking forward to trying the new stuff. Always a treat!

As for desired features:
1) I would LOVE to see server host settings to be able to be saved and quick loaded. It's seemingly such a small thing but it would save so much time.

2) Fixing it so there is no need to quit and rehost to see all track options, like speedland for example.

3) TT leaderboards for all track/car combos, even if they are silly.

4) Dirt tyres for more vehicles. On the wishful thinking side: Snow and snow tyres for vehicles.

Fantastic work as always, Reiza and merry christmas to you all, I hope you enjoy the holidays!

 

1970s Alpine A1110 for the Vintage Touring class.
And since you would need to negotiate with Renault to bring this car, why not bring them along? How about a Renault dream pack DLC? Featuring the 9X8, the R.S 01 GT3, the Clio Cup or the Megane cup? Think about the possibilites that one little blue car can offer.

 

Brings back such great childhood memories!
Would be fantastic to have it in AMS2 someday.

 

I d like to have telemetry for terain also for grass and gravel besides road and curbs.
Those with belt systems might agree on that. It is kinda off when the feedback is muted when going off road.
It would be so great to have that!
Thank you!!!

 

Liking the new HUD so far, would just like the weather forecast to show the upcoming/next two weather slots instead of just one. would give a better picture for how the race will go or if i need to brave light rain in slicks because it will be sunny after.

As said by others, the car information hud is a little large. I would also like to ask for a seperate car damage hud without tyre pressure and brake temp info

 

The only thing i want now is the BMW M2 CUP...

 

Ghost car option in Test day.

 

There will be online multiplayer events one day?.
I'm waiting for a response from Reiza.

 

Please read the multiplayer development part here as that probably answers your question

Automobilista 2 September 2024 Development Update - The Road to V1.6 Pt2

 

Love to have more historic tin top content. Alfa GTA, CortinaGT, Ford GT40, Shelby Mustang, Mini Cooper s etc.

 

I love the work Reiza puts into this game, but there's one simple feature I'd like to see implemented (and now may very well be the best time to implement it due to HUD rework) - the odometer.

The game is already tracking the total km/mi driven for each particular vehicle - why not add a visible counter to the HUD (just below the speedometer) that indicates either total distance driven for vehicle or (better yet) 2 odometers: one for trip (total distance driven during current session), the other for total (total distance driven).

Granted, this does not affect gameplay in any way. But it's a nice feature to see in racing games. Seeing the number go up lap after lap, race after race, is fun and serves as a clear indication of progress.

Like I said, the game already tracks that data - why not make it easily visible to drivers?

Also, and this may or may not be more complicated, but I'd also like to see the total distance driven for each car upon vehicle selection. It shouldn't be too hard (technically) to add a new entry to the data to accommodate for the new value.

Please, Reiza - little features such as these aren't that important at first, but make the game better in the long term! Add odometers in the near future - please!
