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.

Tell me you didn't understand without telling me you didn't understand.

That Blashko guy has to be some sort of Troll or something. If you don't like the sim, fine. But to then start writing nonsense is a troll's trademark.

On behalf of the simracing community, I sincerely apologize that a piece of software that you purchased in early access (and probably at a discount) did not end up meeting with your satisfaction. Despite your disappointment, there is a silver lining: your initial investment might just suprise you soon by paying dividends.

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.

The track's there, it's DLC. Released about a month ago. Can't remember which packs it is or isn't part of.

I only wish the Caterhams were included with the 1.5 update.

As far as I understand, every single car in the game will have the physics and FFB updates when 1.5 is out, including the Caterhams. Or do you mean that you wish the Caterhams were already done in 1.4.8?

Acquiring the 2020-22 Season Pass by the gun I entered AMS2, my curiosity is primarily on one thing:

Will a new (2024-?) season pass be reflected in likewise amount of new content and same level of consistency in bug fix work?

This seen in relation to Straight4Games recent "disturbance", to put it that way.

Cannot say with certainty. The Season Pass had a tremendous amount of content IMO, and I don't expect nor want for that to be matched. Besides some key pieces, I don't think AMS2 lacks content.

Based on Renato’s remarks to usher in the Paddock Club, I wouldn’t wait around for a 2024 Season Pass (my emphasis):

“Freedom to change or increment our plans and rearrarange schedules as may be required is critical for us to do what we do the way we do it - offering the Season Pass on Steam has proved antithetical to that approach, and conciling that early decision with our way of doing things over these first three years of AMS2´s life has proved challenging for us, and occasionally a source of understandable frustration to some users who for their money expect the goods to be clearly defined and delivered in more timely manner.“

So, we're still doing this "my sim is better than your sim" thing in every thread here? Cool... never change guys.

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.

Fair point to the release candidate, but I clearly wasn't stating that the build was a beta, I simply stated how to obtain that build via Steams beta option

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

You are downright a liar, you have never driven a car on AMS2 if you find the driving is similar to PC2, it's just a lie.
You read writings of guys who copy each other, like many guys like you.

Blashko · Jul 8, 2023

One of the things I didn't like about the physics of Project Cars 2 was the insertion of the car into corners.
Turning was kind of weird. AMS2 currently has the same problem.
I only wish that this small defect be corrected.

Nobody's ever online on pubs in AMS2, which is a huge problem. Not only that, league races generally use dedicated servers, which are in a terrible state and have been since EA launch.

All three of the leagues I'm in use dedis for AMS2 and always have one or two hilarous spaz-outs a race, leading to major incidents (myself included, most recently when everyone saw glitching cars into T1 at Auto Club). It can even be as bad as having "ghost" versions of other drivers just run into you from a spaz-out for no reason.

And the worst part is, Reiza openly on the forums point the finger at the users (!), despite the fact that AC and ACC races in these leagues go off without a single hitch and run flawlessly from start to finish. We've tried everything - from changing server location, to running it on powerful hardware/on its own separate PC, even at its own location/IP address. Nothing. The reality is that the online connectivity flat-out sucks.

And that's a disappointment considering I spent 120 dollars total on this game, and they're now asking for 100 more for "all future content", which ostensibly includes the WEC content they've been playing up on the forums. I'll be honest - I'd rather not pay any more money, and that they'd at least take steps to fix the game I paid for, so it becomes a viable online racer. It's still a good time solo, the FFB is quite tight and on par or better than the original AC, and the physics are steadily improving further (though still not perfect by any means and the standard setups are still absolute bin juice), but not enough has been done to address the major issues with the game.

I was an early backer, as stated earlier in this post, and I almost certainly won't be buying this new, very expensive nebulous "pass". I was very high on this game a few years ago and its potential, but I drive AC probably at a 10:1 ratio to AMS2 nowadays.

Where did you hear the LeMans content will cost $100?

Sorry, the "Complete Pass" is $100. I'll make that post more clear. Ostensibly for all "further content" in AMS2 - which apparently the majority of which will be the WEC content. Whether that's actually true is another matter entirely.

I paid ~$110 for everything, which, if I recall, is the game and the "Season Pass" slightly on sale. This addition would double that number. For a game that doesn't have reasonably functioning online in pretty much any capacity, whether it be from the connection problems on dedis or the lack of player base, I don't see the value.

I'll wait for heavy sales years from now for content I may fancy in single player sessions.

They just announced Le Mans with two historic versions, LMDH and LMPs with a new gen of GT3s and some protos in the range of 70s-2000s to go with that. Target is end of the year for the modern stuff. Season Pass is not there anymore but the Backing is open for a while and will give all of future content plus Beta access. IMHO very easily the backing campaign will provide the usual great bang for the buck and secure the continued support of the sim for a few years. But obviously everyone is different and has different needs.

Also where and when did Reiza ever say that MP issues are users fault?

120 euro ???
I spent 18 euros and I still regret it.
I feel your pain.

The point is that you don't obtain a different build via that option right now, though.
