Automobilista 2 Racing Club event
Could try updating firmware (if that’s possible), I think there is some software that manages the adapters (don’t recall what sorry).
I'm on the newest firmware. I do have the management app which I used to disable standby mode altogether. Doesn't help though, so it seems they're dropping connection for some other reason. Connection dropping is something I've read can happen after a couple of years constant use, so I've bitten the bullet and just ordered a new set.

Failing that what state is the electrical wiring and topology (ie are you using any surge protectors etc? Fuse boxes to traverse...)
Well, I'd hope the wiring is pretty good since all the properties in this area are not that old at all. The adapters at both ends are plugged directly into the wall sockets with nothing in-between.

We'll see how the new ones do. If I get issues I'll send them back and start looking into another solution.
 
great to see some new faces, would really like everyone to at least be listening on the discord channel as this is the first time with AMS2 and there may be a few glitches:) especially seeing as there are no real admin commands for the dedicated server as yet.
Look forward to some fun on the track!
 
Anyone with experience for this track and car combo in ams2 wanna share a hotlap? Wanna see how much time I am leaving on the table while I was trying it yesterday. Definitely a blast to drive this machine and AMS2 is a very pretty game especially when the sun goes down..

Additional Information

1) When signing up you must post your Steam ID, so that we know who is who.

2) You must ensure that you have read and understood our Racing Club Rules before signing up. Ignorance is no excuse.

3) Do not click the Exit button at the end of qualifying. Just wait for the session to advance automatically.

4) There will be a two minute timer between qualifying and the race. You must confirm you are ready before it ends or you will be automatically DQ'd.

5) If the event uses a two race format, you will be returned to the lobby after race one. Simply head back to the track and there will be a five minute "super-pole" followed by race two.

6) We strongly advise the use of Crew Chief, an app which gives you a spotter during races. This will provide audio cues when cars are alongside, greatly increasing your awareness and reducing the frequency of unnecessary incidents.
 
This is going to be another pencil me in one, and hope I can get up in time for the race. At least this time I know it is starting 2am my time :)

I finally fired it up last night and I seemed a bit slow, but again these are not GT3 cars with added downforce to get you through on the twisty parts. Not sure if there is a way to share a hotlap, but you can go into time trial mode and load up ghosts of the top people and also get their setups.

One guy in the AMS hotfix thread said to decrease the clutches to 2, increase toe out a bit, and do decrease front ARB some to help with the understeer.

One thing I found that helped a bit was to increase the steering range, this helps with faster turn in, but be careful about having the back end wash out on you.

I would say that the time trial WR for the car and track is out of the reach for most of us. I was like 7-8s off that pace.
 
To add on to what I said above, I do love the ghost car implementation in the sim. You can load a couple of the ghost cars and then do your session/overall best time and click on it and it will do a replay with the ghost cars etc. Sucks that you can't go in car and hear the car's inputs/gear shifts etc...but it is better than nothing. I just wish they would give you the replay controls to go back and forth and skip around.

I just tried the setup for the world record holder and knocked about a second off my best time (just some small tweaks with toe), now I am only like 5 seconds off the WR :)
