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!

[JERACERX]

Will features in AMS such as safety cars and season mode be making a return for AMS 2? Also, will the class system be similarly structured?

 

[Thiago Moya]

Niels still part of the physics team on AM2?

 

[Fabian Jiron]

Will there still be rally cross? Also if so will there be a offroad/gravel tyre?

 

[KagurazakaYukari]

What physics emgine does it use? And please don't use PC2's network core... as it lost connection very frequently in east asia area

 

[Deleted member 503495]

My question:

Is Niels still part of Reiza? If so, at what capacity?

 

[2stains]

Please ask every question in here except that never ending story one! Thats a crap movie ,lol

 

[2stains]

Which is SMS role on that?

This is about the most important question !!!!!!

 

[Chris]

With the switch to the Madness engine, will this be the end of the prolific modding community for AMS?

 

[Tar Heel]

Will the replay system be the same as it currently is in PC2 or will it be improved upon?

 

[OZ67]

SAVE Button, Career Mode , Multiplayer MATCH MAKING (the real version)?

 

[tlsmikey]

The first AMS was heavy on open wheel content. Can we expect more of the same or will it be better balanced?

Are there any cars or concerns with overlap from SMS that would keep certain content out of the title?

 

[Tim Driscoll]

I have an incurable illness that sometimes makes committing to online events difficult. Is there going to be an extensive single player mode? Something more than a single championship or one off racing? You know... a career that isn't a ladder.

 

[Jason Mullin]

I know this may be too early but...
Considering the potential great graphics from madness and better (more complex) physics from Reiza...

Target PC requirements?
For those of us with Mid range PCs.

 

[Aguiarnc]

allright here's my questions:

-will it have timed races?(minutes instead of lap number)
-mandatory pitstops? (you know, that pit window stuff, i love that)
-what about multiclass races?

 

[stickdeath1980]

Will V8 Supercar's be in this version

 

[fireballr18]

Madness engine - a big suprise!

My questions (some of them already mentioned):
- What are the reasons they preferred to go on with madness engine?
- How will Reiza guarantee that AMS2 will feel and drive like AMS with this new engine, and not like PC2 (really a concern for me)?
- Can Reiza use parts of their former modulations in AMS (e.g. turbo modellation)
- Will we have something like an early access?

 

[deadsilence001]

I would ask two simple questions for AMS2:

- Will the AI be different from the PC2 one? I've left PC2 because it was so hard to set it correctly (difficulty and aggressiveness changing too much from race to race), so this is very important to me.

- Regarding Single Player modes, will we be able to save mid-race and continue that race another time? As rFactor 2, GTR2, F12018.

Many thanks for all your effort

 

[Steve Worrell]

I haven't read the whole thread yet, I'm too excited, so apologies if this has already been addressed and I'm assuming awesome Reiza physics.

But my question is this. As someone who craves realisim I'm desperate for a sim so take damage seriously. Will they be implementing any kind of unique damage model?

 

[Charles Amyouni]

Two Things...
1. Physics?
2. Modding?

 

[Rebellion765]

Being a gMotor-derived engine, I can understand why Madness was chosen. It's a solid package, physics and graphics-wise. What really concerns me is the mod support. Will it be carried over from AMS1 (if possible), or are you guys going to focus on getting more content licenses and get a more diverse and broad content (or both)?
