Please tell me what i need to improve for better physics.

In Steam go to AMS2's "Properties", then go down to "Betas" and select the "releasecandidate - Pre-release build". For me this change was instant (no extra downloading). The game will then be running v1.4.8 which is the preview build for 1.5 (releasing soon).

Then just try any cars that are in "Theo7272"s post above. If you have any car setups for any of these cars then back those settings up and reset them back to default (required for the improved physics).

No matter what i do, the physics need to improvment. Reiza has to work a little harder to improve the physics. Just play a few minutes rFactor 2,ACC or RaceRoom and compare with Automobilista 2.

Racing usa will receive a part 4 also covered by the season pass

There’s a new physics update arriving soon

It will improve a lot of cars making them feel more connected to the road (there are currently some cars with those physics already if you wanna test them)

Sorry @ Blashko

Steam reviews you see it's @ 91% this month so personally speaking I would expect it to be almost perfect.
Now years later everyone goes on about many different things that are not good and need fixing yet it gets even higher rating. lol

Meanwhile rF2 gets 57%

Boggles the mind.

I said for decades we need a Molders & Painters Co-Op. A proper organization funded by all simmers. I know I said 100 times.

This would present many opportunity to grow like a Academy of sims, real time classes, alpha testing for all sims, pay your dues you get reward.

Point is one of the first things that need doing is to make a industry standard rating system that looks at all aspects with each rated appropriately. Just like they do at a dog show, car show, baking contest there is always a practiced method.

So if a reviewer wants to rate something they would use the accepted method.
That would help us determine what are the best and worst aspects of all sims instead of generalization or simply leaving out important considerations entirely.

I wish to like AMS2 but it seems to be something wrong with physics and handling... driving AMS2 cars feels weird for me... I feel a huge lack connection with the track -not enough grip, weightless car... I don't know...maybe it is some issue with madness engine

Nope, Its you.

Just play the games you like.

I already owned the full ams1, but wanted to reinstall to play the new RX stuff in it to compare to whats going to be released, I took the time and effort to sort out that horrible aliasing issue and setup my screens and dd1.. now.. my problem is, I now prefer AMS1 to AMS2! (for road stuff) Better ffb, more engaging, more connected in many ways, I guess because of the shared rf2/isi base engine perhaps.. and all small nuanced things they add, like the sparks bouncing across the road etc, its a blast to drive and I've clocked a tonne of hours in it the last while!

That said the new beta stuff thats coming is BETTER in AMS2.. the old ISI motor was not good at dirt.

Circiut catalunya is not included in the Track Pack. AFAIK this track is not available at all for AMS2. A pitty - I would love to drive there.
I use AMS2 sometimes just to have a ride and see something else again beside my well loved aC and ACC. Graphics are awesome with still high fps. driving is ok but still feels a bit loosy.

I have. rF2 and AMS2 feel quite similar. RaceRoom's tyre model feels outdated and cars either are on rails or go into uncatchable passenger sliders without warning. ACC is a complete outlier among all comparable sims and feels terrible.

about "bad physics" - don't forget to delete the cars setups in the ..\savegame\38352421\automobilista 2\vehiclesetups folder after every big update

Ahahaha, AMS2 similar to rFactor 2, and ACC feels terrible. What a joke.

What i say, the big problem of AMS2 is the madness engine.
The game is a clone of Project Cars 2.
Best Graphics
Bad Physics

The physics and ffb are nothing alike, that is known to anyone who has given both titles proper effort and attention. At this point, to say otherwise is trolling.

Madness engine is based on gMotor2.

I think the holy wars of Sim1 vs Sim2 vs SimX, etc. are completely inappropriate. For me, the main criterion is to get pleasure from driving and competition, when your mouth involuntarily spreads in a smile. And it does not matter that somewhere something slides more than (allegedly) in reality, which none of the virtual racers have never experienced.
But to Reiza's credit, they try to take into account and correct all the inaccuracies and problems. And it is really difficult for them to do this, because there are so many classes of cars, they are all different. And now they are going to add rally cross... Instead of hating - let's wish them success!

Will add rally cross...lololol.
They should focus on the problems and fix them.
So much content and half of it dubious.

The 1.5 physics update greatly improves my enjoyment with the cars that got the treatment. I'll check back into AMS2 when all cars have the new physics. Until then, it looks nice and runs great on my PC. Theres some wierdness with aligning triple screens, but I have to make adjustments to my monitor stand, so I'm not blaming the game just yet.

I really like the tracks that are in this title. They really sell immersion, with the detail and (with 1.5) how worn they are. Long Beach is a grade A expierence in my book. I only wish the Caterhams were included with the 1.5 update. Perhaps it'll happen in the near future?

1.4.8 is the current public build. There's no beta right now. The release candidate branch is equal to the public branch. This is why your Steam didn't need to download anything.

You are correct; there is not a publically-available Release Candidate at this time, but the AMS2 Beta program could not possibly be more active than it is at this very moment, especially with the ongoing V1.5 updates to test.

Some people don't seem to get the memo that different people like different sims, and doesn't make it right or wrong. Average simracers don't agree with simulations. Pro esport simracers don't agree either. Real life pro drivers don't agree either.

This is why nowadays I don't challenge anybody who shits on AMS2. You don't like it? Fine, play something else. You like it? Cool, let's go racing. You want to like it and use it but something holds you back? Here is some piece of advice or technical tidbit that may help.

Of course, debates may surface from time to time that are worth tackling. But that argument of "drive x sim then compare" is dubious to say the least. Like somebody never drove any of the sims mentioned. Like somebody didn't make a choice of what sim to stick to based on a wide array of aspects.

It's easier to do and let's us get along better as a whole community.

The problem is that I paid 100 euros for this game on early access and I want something that satisfies me and not just another arcade game, as you certainly like. For that you have PC2, Need for Speed, Forza and many others.
