The Feature Request Thread...

Based on Game Build: latest
Request: Reset camera options
Description: I recently just changed camera options accidentally while using the keyboard but cant seem to get it back to how it was before, I use the roof camera and now the driving feels different as i was used to the default views, i would like to have an option to reset to default
Benefits: Back to familiar feeling again

 

I'd like to ask if this possible smooth telemetry data when switching menus, going back to pits. Currently let's say you are in time trial, then click to adjust the setup, the telemetry data changes super abruptly making the motion platform to behave erractly. Then when you save, and get back to previous screen another abruptly move... I can provide videos to show case the issue if needed.

 

Idea that I have - that could have been mentioned already - for the long race is trying to implement the skip system that we currently have between sections in a stint button. What it would require tho is that one or more AI driver name to be attached to the car. The way it would function is such that us as a player will drive a stint, pit and use the current swap drive function. The AI will them be assigned as it currently does, and then we can simulate the stint of the AI (with their parameters determining how good or bad they will be) and then we can hope back into the car again afterwards. In a mvp version, it could be tested with the player car only, disregarding swapping for the AI cars.

 

I would really appreciate if you can give us real 3D Mirrors for VR. Thats the missing puzzle piece for making VR perfect. If PMR is able to do that im shure you can do that too .
Since ive seen 3D Mirrors in Modded AC1 and now in PMR its a big immersion breaker for me to have only 2D mirrors.

 

Yes, absolutly: we NEED "mid session save" for endurance, its a must!

 

Yes, this is the feature I'm most looking forward to. It would be awesome to be able to participate in 12 hour and 24 hour races.

Also it would be great if we could choose named AI drivers as co-drivers, is this featiue being added?

 

A rework or better tv cams in vr replays would be cool.

 

Just watch Le-mans, would be nice if Reiza could bump up the car numbers for this track only .

 

BoP should be balanced within each class (GT3, LMDh, GT1, etc.) so that every car is a viable choice by default. Right now, for example, the AMG GT3 is not competitive compared to the Porsche, McLaren, or BMW.

Improving class balance should be prioritized, even if it comes at the expense of absolute realism, as it would greatly improve the overall racing experience.

 

I am still on edge since the Lister Storm is confirmed. But I so hope you will add some more liveries other than the one on the screenshot: The black #14 with the rainbow-roof and the blue #27 would be cool!

 

An overhaul of the showroom, i think the beautiful designed cars deserve better visual representation.

If I were allowed to dream: something like this—a wind tunnel with perfect lighting conditions.

 

SC lap in La Sarthe 10 minutes.
SC lap in Nurburgring 24 minutes i think if I remember correctly.

Please add an Option to choose Safety Car speed according to Car Class racing.

If this is possible. I've seen full lobbies that lost many players because people quit due to safety car.

Even for offline players vs AI, a 20min SC lap is unleasable, people will just turn such a great AMS2 feature off in 2 of the best tracks AMS2 has to offer.
Maybe I have no clue about this, but could this be an "easy fix" or smooth to implement?

For me very important would be either:
Option to Resize HUD elements
or
2 or 3 different pre-made HUD element sizes
or
some way of modding those files

some ppl have tiny displays, others have huge displays, everyone has different resolutions and display sizes, it's very hard with a single UI to be totally "happy" with it.

I do get it sim racing titles have moved into the "unified UI" thing. and AMS2 already gives us some control over it which is nice. for me it's just a tiny bit of resizing (a bit smaller, a bit bigger) just for convenience.

I've played AMS2 in window and used simhub overlays like many do, but somehow I think playing AMS2 like that does lose a tiny bit of FPS or there is something there, I can't really put my finger on it, but it's just not the same as playing with the original game's UI.
(and TBH I would much rather do that since it makes footage immediately recognizable and gives AMS2 it's own unique "flair and branding")

 

I'd like to request an update of the modern Imola to bring it closer to the current layout.
Namely the removal of a lot of the sausage kerbs at apexes (please, my wrists can't take it ), extension of the gravel trap on the exit of Turn 9, adding a gravel trap on the exit of Turn 12, and the extension of the gravel trap on the exit of Varianti Alta.

(But really, just removing the sausage kerbs would make me happy )

 

Based on Game Build: 1.6.9.8
Request: Saving the position of the roof camera after changing it with ctrl + k
Description: As of now we can only move the camera for a singular session, but after quitting the game the camera goes back to the original setting
Benefits: We would be able to keep our camera settings for each car

 

I would like the ability in the custom AI files to set "team name". Where set, it would display instead of car model in the results sheet.
So instead of F-Classic G2M2 and things like that, the custom AI file could make it display as Williams, Lotus etc as appropriate for each driver.

 

Oooh yes, you know what i imagine also for the main menu ? : and a voice saying " Welcome to Automobilista »

 

Based on Game Build: 1.6.9.9
Request: A new Minimum pit stop time rule for race sessions.
Description: The ability to set a minimum time for any pit stop eg: custom time set by seconds.
Benefits: It would enhance the experience of races that feature evenly matched cars of different classes but have a big disparity in the time it takes to do basic fuel and tyres.
And as a bonus it could also be good in long races of 2hrs+ in MP , as you could set it to a long enough time to allow a personal pit stop during your pit stop .

 

In the screen where we select the car, we have a lot of info like weight, cylinders, power etc. If we also had "year" (e.g. first/main year raced) then it would help us navigate the different classes like "retro", "vintage' ans so on.

 

Since AMS2 focuses on motorsport history, a new menu item called "Motorsport History" should be added alongside options like "Single Race," "Championship," and so on. Here, users could browse through all the vehicles included in AMS2 along a timeline and access detailed information about them—much like visiting a museum. Furthermore, it should be possible to start a single race or a test day directly from this menu, simulating the experience of strolling through a museum and stepping straight into one of the cars.

A first step toward implementing this idea could be a new sort filter labeled "All (by History)."


Highlighting of sector times for example.
White = active sector
Green = personal best
Purple = overall best

 

In general, I love and welcome everything that makes the sim more “get real” — so yes, I am absolutely in favour of making things more challenging and demanding.

However, it also has to be implemented well and realistically. I have not yet had enough time to properly test everything in detail, but if the 3D track surface causes water to collect in certain areas, then I am all for keeping that feature — as long as it is physically calculated in a believable and realistic way.

My suggestion for years has been to make the weather system, especially rain, more finely adjustable and more dynamic. Rain should be able to build up gradually, change multiple times during a session, and ideally be based on rain probability within the weather slots, instead of having only one fixed weather prediction per slot.



But I am sure the devs are already aware of that.

So yes: please keep the puddles — as long as they appear realistically on the track and are physically well implemented.
