The damage model is better than most other Sims, just it is not implemented on all cars yet.
AMS 2 | New Hotfix Release And Spa Standalone DLC Issues Resolved
- Thread starter Paul Jeffrey
- Start date
I love the fact that you can adjust ffb per car now. Got my DD1 set up perfect, and the ffb feels great now for all the cars I like to drive. Also loving the new car skin system. I got some good skin packs from the download section, and can race the V10 v1, and v2 with the 97, and 2001 seasons. The German Group A cars are a lot of fun too. I'd love to see some 60's sportscars in this, a Cobra Daytona coupe, and a Ferrari 250GTO would be sublime. This is rapidly becoming one of my favorite sims, and I use it as much as rF2, and AC now. Good work Reiza, and thanks for the hotfix.

Like you, I really appreciate the new custom skins system and I'd like to thank all those members of RD who make them. I downloaded a few today and they are so much better than the rather boring Reiza skins (except the Stock Car Brazil ones, of course.) If anybody is listening, a pack of authentic liveries for the V8 Supercars would be great, thank you!I got some good skin packs from the download section, and can race the V10 v1, and v2 with the 97, and 2001 seasons.

This is the point i Wickedly quibbled with someone in there about
It's a non issue that stuff gets handled by high level protocol, not wonderment on forums.
But note how MUCH ACC does for you... Too much.
ACC pushed boundaries and so will AMS2.
But in the effort to get there, they have smoothed out the driving quite a bit. Hehe.
The cars in actuality need to be fought to keep on the road. Look at any video, do any circuit you like. ACC tries to put normal road ability and complicity into the sim... That's awesome but an important distinction..
Ams2 is immersive for a reason and that's not to say ACC is lame, just let's hope they don't try to bore things down.

Increase diff preload to get them more stable on corner entry. Try 150nm.
If the issue is related to taking a photo try advancing a frame or two. In general, the image appears to depict you are running low video settings overall (maybe it's just how it uploaded though) but you may want to adjust performance settings (I'm running mostly Ultra, 2K, MSAA High and no post AA) and see no such issue but then again I'm not paying much attention to it while driving. When I have taken photos they appear stunning. You may also want to play with the visual settings for Exterior/Interior Sun Flare.

Try external world chroma in graphics or performance.
I like being blinded at imola 7am, could be your fix. Maybe subtle is a better setting

I'm glad that you recognized other people's opinions of FFB. Seems a rare thing and highly controversial these days.
On top of personal preference, it must have something to do with the gear we use too. IMO, on my DD1 and Clubsport V3's, ACC has the best FFB and handling by far. I can tell exactly what the car is doing, even without assists. Then I would say goes AC, rF2, RRRE, AMS2, PC2. AMS2 feels waaaaaay better with the recent updates, but like some others here have said, it still feels like PC2.
BTW, in ACC I still hate those weird 4-wheel slides the cars go into sometimes. And curbs are still a nightmare, especially on Imola.
Mod Edit: Post modified. There's no need to start a potential flame war by using derogatory terms to describe other opinions or the people that hold them.

It's a sim...so the AI should be equally talented at any track. We are not, but why confound that problem by also making the AI as unreliable as we are? That just makes the potential swing in necessary AI setting even larger. AMS (1) AI are equally talented at all tracks. Reiza is progressively getting there with AMS 2, but it's a ton of work and yes, there have been lots of distractions lately.
Slightly missing my point, whereas I agree that games need the AIW (for want of a better term, but if you've editted old gmotor stuff you'll know what I mean) to be tweaked over time to iron out kinks, the issue of Ai "difficulty/talent" is impossible to quantify because we as humans are inconsistant, how can we judge unless we ourselves are consistant and exact on every track? I hope you understand what I mean.
Thanks for resonder. It's not because of the photo, that's why I said it was better appreciated on video ... It's a dance of polygons on the brightness of the windshields. It spoils the reruns, really. I have tried different graphical settings, but I'll try yours, if my graph allows it ...
for the v8 supercars, have a look here. do not know, if these liveries are authentic, but you might give them a try:Like you, I really appreciate the new custom skins system and I'd like to thank all those members of RD who make them.

Discord - A New Way to Chat with Friends & Communities
Discord is the easiest way to communicate over voice, video, and text. Chat, hang out, and stay close with your friends and communities.
Try racing those v8s around oulton pack fosters course. A blast! Its the short course.
We all have good tracks & bad tracks but that usually means a front running driver is only a top 6-8 driver at his worst track.The current AI is probably 1.0-1.5 sec slower sometimes from track to track.That is a lifetime in racing.Iracing AI is a lot more consistant but they have massive resources & are adding tracks at a slow pace due to the training of AI.
I still think that's a presumption of time and not very scientific due to player inconsistancy, I can easily be 1-2 (or more) seconds slower or faster on different tracks. IMO the only scientific way to do it is for the Ai to match real world times at 100%. But then that would depend on the conditions in game matching the conditions the real time was set.
Ultimately aside from the actual game physics (and ffb!) Ai is the next hardest thing for a racing sim to pull off properly. I often feel very sorry for any devs reading forums!!
Made a video on AMS2 replays and immediately got asked where the button for the cinematic/drone style cameras is. If anyone needs to know that its under control assignments/ camera & view/cycle camera
You can assign it to any key.
Seen it asked a couple of times, will add screeny to make clear

Just had an awesome race in the F1 GT1@ Hock 01', the AI do need better pit management but still it was a huge AI improvement for me since a month ago. Gordon Murray is a genius
I may be being a bit harsh but whoever says AMS2 feels like PC2 is bananas. Be absolutely sure to delete the documents folder and you will see for yourself that they're miles parts in feel with AMS2 feeling 1000 times better. I mean, the track surfaces in PC2 are totally different, as in, totally lifeless so just on that both feel different to one another. Not speaking on memory of PC2 either - spent about 5 hrs this week trying the latest PC2 customers ffb files from RD and tbh PC2 still feels awkward to drive. A shame really as rest of the package is awesomely put together.
