AMS 2 Interview: Submit Your Questions Here!

[Paul Jeffrey]

Use this thread to submit questions you would like me to put to Reiza Studios Renato Simioni in our upcoming Automobilista 2 interview.

The big news of the week has to be the announcement that Automobilista 2 is heading to our PC's this coming December, and with such a hotly anticipated title as this, and with so little known about it at this stage, we think it only right that we sit down with the man behind the software and have a chat.

In order to ensure we cover as wide of a range of topics as possible, I would like to extend to you all the opportunity to use the comments section of this thread to pitch any questions you would like me to put to Renato when we meet later this weekend.

Please, don't use this as an opportunity to ask "is car x coming to the sim" as firstly, that's a dull question, and secondly I'm sure that plenty of the content questions are unanswerable at this time - either due to licencing issues, or because Reiza want to save some of the announcement goodness for the build up to release in December.

So please, do use this as an opportunity to have your voice heard, and think wisely about the type of things you want to find out about this new project.

Without further ramblings from me, drop your questions in the comments section below!

[Ben Lee]

Any plans to include TCR cars?

 

[mungopark]

will the game still feature historic tracks like the österreichring (spielberg) or imola?

 

[Ian Bell]

You know these projects begin long before they are made public, right? Ian Bell didnt wake up that day and said "let me make public an weird idea I had"

'A cunning plan'. Get it right

Nobody seems to have mentioned Telemetry which is used by 3rd party applications

1. What kind of Telemetry API (or APIs) shall we expect?
2. Will it be based on AMS, PCARS or a new one?
3. WIll developers have access to beta versions (or some documentation/information) to integrate with their applications?

Cheers

This is a crucial question:
1. What kind of Telemetry API (or APIs) shall we expect?
2. Will it be based on AMS, PCARS or a new one?

Those like me that have a motion rig are asking if the API will be the same as AMS1...if not, i guess that will be like the guys that want VR and dont want to buy unless this is clearly stated.

Lets cross fingers

Will we be able to lift up the hood, and easily configure things such as AI speed on a per circuit basis, in the event of modding not being supported?

This is something we, offliner, would like to see a small app that give us opportunities to adjust AI speed in each corner and straight so we have a really good and competitive AI.

What do you think a bout such feature?

 

[Dan Costa]

Any particular reason why AMS physics engine could not be plugged into Madness graphics engine? other than having to license two engines at the same time?

@Paul Jeffrey Can you get @Renato Simioni to say "Reiza" loud and clear so that, once and for all, everybody knows how to pronounce it correctly?

Here you go. Click on listen (the S sounds as a Z, and the first syllable is the strongest one):

Sounds like Lazer with an R

 

[Stephen O'Sullivan]

...and I've been getting it wrong all this time. *sigh*

Thank you, @Heitor Facuri Cicoti

Are all carsets already defined or there is still space for extra slots? I have a custom car in AMS i would love to see in AMS2 and would gladly pay to see it featured in AMS2

It's locked... no modding.
Like he says, their are a "content" outfit, they are going to sell bits and pieces à la iR.
