Automobilista 2: April Dev Update Confirms New Cars and Track - Hint at Le Mans?

THK84 · May 1, 2023

Yes plz on better mod support!

Barcelona is great, but the rest doesn´t knock my socks off.
It´s unfortunately a licence problem, think same for tracks like Zolder, Dubai, Sebring.

All of it sounds very very cool.

Shame as soon as any of it drops we will have the usual round of youtube porkchops using a content review to sledge the title with exaggerated nonsense.

Hopefully it means the Caterham 620R will be actually controllable and enjoyable to drive. Currently it is just unrealistically difficult to drive even on a straight line.

Just snarky at Gamer Muscles latest video, The new AMS 2 content gives him a viewership platform and he uses it to go over and over the same old crap he hates about the game. He has some fair points but the weak points in the game are well known and some of what he talks is just utter rubbish.

The new barcelona layout (which is just the old, actually) is a must have. Can t wait
For other part, AMS2 is just the best sim out there. The problem is the madness engine that do not allow modding. I really can t understand why developers do not follow the AC way. A 10 years old game that is yet the most buyed just cause modders constantly renew it

Actually, there already are mods for AMS2 and the news itself reports that they will make it even easier to use them withouth having the need for bootloader files.

Indeed, and this should make it much more accessible to most sim racers. While the current procedure is not too complicated, it does involve a few steps, and if you are not that tech-savvy, it might seem like a bit much. Eliminating that would be extremely helpful for the modding scene.

Currently, you have to disable the bootfiles whenever AMS2 is updated, then wait for up-to-date bootfiles to be released (usually happens quickly), and then enable those while adding certain lines to a car list and drive train file again. Bit of a hassle that I certainly would not miss

For the angry comments, it's just a game. Otherwise work harder, save money and become a pilot (if you have the talent lol).

In return, I only want kisses and not hate

That IndyCar looks like a hybrid between the IndyCar and the Indy Lights Car. I like it. Can't wait to drive it.

Hope we get Le Mans eventually.

PS: Motorsports Games can go f themselves.

Update sounds great. We will see the changes in action, so any complaining comes in that future thread

Replay. Replay. Replay. Replay. Replay. Replay. Replay. Replay. Replay. Replay. Replay.

Did I say it needs a better replay ?

Agree, the current one is very poor for such a great looking game.

When a dev releases or teases an update where they correct a load of bad data that fed the parameterization and modeling, does it make us look stupid for thinking the physics were believable and accurate as they were or does it discredit simracing as a whole and the correlations between modeling and the real thing?

Also, didn't we just get an underpowered open-wheeler that we all tried once and said "eh, whatever?" If they're comfortable making generic cars for us (like the aesthetically-more-pleasing-than-the-real-thing new Formula USA), then why not:
1) an early 60's sharknose close, or late 50's front engine and rear engined F1 set
2) a fake 330 P4 and GT40 mk2?
3) a late 80's IMSA GT set (a C4 vs. an XR4Ti?)
4) an early 80's Can-Am car (or a 70's Formula 5000 car?)

And for tracks: Sebring, Mid-Ohio, Road Atlanta... I smell an 80s IMSA set. That was my favorite part of Forza 7, the 80s IMSA love.

Literally a game you can forget about. Play a few times then forget about again. Nothing to keep you coming back.

Lino Carreira · May 1, 2023

Great to see they are still finding weird crap on SMS engine physics wise, maybe this time is the time ... the vague MP code mentions make me sad though... its liek they need to throw some words that mention MP there just to say its not forgotten although it pretty much looks like it is..

But the explanation says that this is impossible because of the Live Track way of working.
It is probably correct and would mean some revision of the Mad engine that Reiza dont want to do - or is not able to do without building a Mad2.

Actually with the content manager you no longer need to add the lines

Only replace the bootfiles and run the cm .exe and you good

content manager is available to download here on race department in AMS 2 miscelaneous
