AMS 2 | New Hotfix Update Now Available

[Paul Jeffrey]

A new hotfix update for Automobilista 2 has been released.

• Additional content set to follow in the coming days.
• Latest hotfix includes various bug fixes and tweaks.
• Various AI speed updates.

When Reiza Studios released their V1.0.2.0 update for Automobilista back on Tuesday, the Brazilian studio teased another interesting new piece of content is set to following in the coming days - and although said day has not quite arrive yet, we do have a reasonably large hotfix update to enjoy while we await the latest content drop.

The new V1.0.2.1 update has been deployed to the simulation already, and should download automatically the next time players restart their Steam client.

V1.0.2.1 CHANGELOG:

• Adjusted range of allowed track limit warnings to 1-50
• Multiplayer chatbox history no longer logs joins/leaves and limits history playback when switching page
• Fixed session overview leaderboard not filling in Multiplayer session
• Fixed incorrect text on pit strategy back buttons
• Adjusted F-Vintage body aero lift (all models)
• Fixed VW Truck crashing to desktop when loading
• Adjusted Ultima & Camaro SS tyres (stiffer tyre sidewall, reduced a speed sensitivity, stiffer front ARB and springs) & AI tuning
• Adjusted F-Reiza tyre tread (better retention of adhesive friction at speed)
• Decreased AI defensive lateral movement range to reduce chances of weaving
• Minor reduction of AI brake grip
• Minor AI performance callibration pass for F-Vintage, Ultima & Camaro SS
• Adjusted AI wet tyre grip for Formulas V12, V10 Gen1 & Gen2
• Silverstone (all versions): General art passes & added remaining trackside objects (including period accurate 1975 pit building)
• Hockenheim: fixed trees popping up in the horizon of 1977 version
• Incremental AI speed adjustments at Imola 2019 - Chicane T11; Kansai - T11, T14, T16; Spielberg - T1, T2; Donington - Mcleans (T7); Goiania - Chicane entry; Kyalami - T13, T16; Oulton Int - chicane entry; Santa Cruz - chicane;, Taruma Chicane; Velopark - Last corner.
• Camaro SS: Fixed tachometer
• Brabham BT26A: Added front suspension animation & texture, material updates
• F-V10 Gen1:- Added material to sidepod intakes

Automobilista 2 is available now, exclusively on PC.

i believe in future we will have such steering system in our sims, where steerin wheel is 100% always connected to what front tyres doin in sim, instead of current weird forces working as output reaction to our input which makes oscillations an have some delay. we have too many settings in our wheels an in our sims, like someone can make settings very close to real ting, but other can make so bizarre setting that it wont be close to any car, gyus without driving license i guess have worst problem wit setting their wheels, i saw not once on forum people tellin like cars not centering themselfs that yo shall feel only oversteer etc definetly kids who never drove real car xD i hope one day there be no settings, only devs either make cars without power steerin harder to turn wheel or leave one slider to user decide how he want his steerin wheel to be hard. there is no one comin to sim even if he has 50 driving license in real life, an he dont drive straight away, he must get used to it, only pro racing drivers can drive good in sims straight away but just cause tey know the tracks and have muscle memory from real life, thats why tey drive good in sims

 

[Deleted member 963434]

yo know what i mean? i have very good setting in all my sims, so close to real life but i still notice tis biggest different between both worlds.. in real life car like drives itself yo can hold wheel light at turn yo steerin wheel always follow front wheels, in sims i have similar feel but it is noticeable that its not yo steerin wheel follows front wheels but its always feeling like some spring force pushin it back to center

 

[Deleted member 963434]

and i know it just matter of time we get that steering, look tey making such thing in real life cars now, its called steer-by-wire. i dont know if its safe xD but theres no connection between steering wheel and front wheels, steering wheel is connected to big motor as we have in our sims, and controller tellin wheel what front tyres doin. if tey make it in real cars its matter of time tey make same thing in sims, cause i dont think in real life car tis steerin work same as in sim, all that oscillation, weird forces etc, dat woul be very dangerous xD look steer-by-wire

You end up with the same dull FFB as iRacing got.
In real life you don't feel as much with the steeringrack as we like to feel in a sim.
Most feeling with the real car comes from your bottom/body/mind not just your hands.

 

[SuperMonacoGP]

You end up with the same lame FFB as iRacing got.
In real life you don't feel as much with the frontwheels as we like to in a sim.
Most feeling with the car comes from your ass not your hands.

that's exactly what I was gonna say. ffb is nothing more than a mind trick to make you feel through the only haptic instrument we have, the steering wheel, whatever happens to the car you are driving, even all the things you wouldn't feel in reality. the concept of feeling through the wheel just what you actually feel in real life is pretty useless in a sim environment.

 

[bgil66]

I actually just wish that Reiza secured the IndyCar license, fun!

and this, aside from every manufacturers different approach to their own tech, pricing etc, is the reason why there won't be "plug & play ffb" without any settings to fiddle about. Everyone prefers their own mind tricks/set of things they want to feel through the wheel. Plus yeah, manufactureres pushing for new tech, other manufacturers cutting costs, wallet preferences of the users...

Could never understand that mindset, how Kunos managed to get away with essentially just gain settings approach in both most popular on PC sim titles?
And who didn't curse SMS for delivering under-cooked meal FFB leaving poor users figuring out what to make out of it?

Maybe because they didn't.

[Deleted member 197115]

I'd be very happy if FFB just worked with similar limited set of options instead of verbose custom FFB settings.
Afraid all these extra tweaking parameters are needed only if physics engine cannot produce something end user can accept in pure form and some form of compensation is needed.
But in the end it's studio's or perhaps unfortunate consequence of SMS engine choice.

Don't forget "Gyro" effect.

The best invention for DD wheels ever, wish all sims could have that.

 

[David Peres]

But in the end it's studio's or perhaps unfortunate consequence of SMS engine choice.

Are you talking about Project Cars 2 or Automobilista 2?
Becouse AMS 2, while using the same engine, has only 4 FFB settings: Gain, Minimum Force, FX and Spring.

That's how they "fixed" it in PCars2.

By just hiding options from UI.

 

[DC WOLF]

he compared it to the custom file, which could be similar in AC or every other app, but not accessable by the customers.
PC1 had many good parameters accessable from menu, but most people where not able to understand it. PC2 then shortened to idiots save 4 sliders and that could be too much as you can read some comments here

 

[Jopamir]

Maybe because they didn't.

Thank god for that...

And who didn't curse SMS for delivering under-cooked meal FFB leaving poor users figuring out what to make out of it?

If only Kunos could have done the same with their VR implementation. Instead I ended up with complete garbage.. which requires tweaking beyond belief to end up with.. complete garbage... unless of course you are one of those people half blind who can race at 45fps or having a passion for 8bit pixel graphics from back in the day.

Ironically since recently it is my my favorite VR title, even that I had to make a peace with 60Hz mode. But anything else looks like a cheap cartoon after. And Ampere is just around the corner to have it in full beauty at 90fps.
Link to settings and more appropriate place to discuss ACC VR.

i have only gain set in all my sims to 50% rest all at zero
in acc road feel, dampening at 0, in ac all sliders, in ams2 lfb and fx set to 0, in pc2 only gain 50% , volume per car and tone at 100 as it looks to me like tone in pc2 is reversed lfb in ams2, but thats just my feeling how wheel behaves.
so i have just raw gain power an sim physics do rest. but what i was talking above yo all misunderstood me. i talkin abous to transfer tis steer-by-wire things to sim so we got no delay, no oscillations etc. as we want to reduce oscillation in dd we must put damper to it, maybe tey can provide ffb technology so sim tellin wheel setpoint where it should go and stop, not how much force to apply, then wheel go an pass that point now sim tellin it to get back an applies another force, so it get back and we have oscillations
