No AMS2 news on RD?

[Vilmos Vas]

I'm just wondering (again) why is that a well hyped AMS2 update (v1.5) get no coverage on this site. There are all sort of news on a daily basis, many times simple speculations but no 'official' news presented on RD about this update. The manpower is clearly there, as every single iRacing or ACC hotfix find their way to the site but AMS2 is often ignored for some reason.

Anyways, life goes on...

Welcome back, how was the cryosleep?

Or this one:

AMS2: Interview with Reiza's Renato Simioni

Reiza Studios have been hard at work to deliver the long-awaited v1.5 update for Automobilista 2. RaceDepartment has sat down with the Lead Developer for an interesting AMS2 deep dive.

www.racedepartment.com

Three of the five top stories on the news page are AMS2, and all three are from the last month.

They literally had an interview with the developer put up on the frontpage... There's a load of AMS2 racing here at RD, and for the longest time a mini serie was being ran by Bram, one of the RD founders...

Sorry, the update of the article flew under my radar. I stand corrected.

To be fair, this one only said that the update was coming soon. But fair enough.

Okay, nothing to see here...

Probably because like everything on the Madness engine the hype isn't real...

1.5 has been a bug fest on top of the grip being overblown...

The newest bug is the set up changing during the pit stops...

No wonder people were calling me crazy earlier this year for even considering modding for it...

First of all, I've already aknowledged that I was wrong in my OP as the news was presented on this site, just not in a separate article but as an update of a previous one.

This has nothing to do with the fact that you suggest that RD should only keep us updated about the sim racing news only if the sim in question meets your personal quality standards.

I really don't want to play these childish sim wars, that wasn't the point of my OP but if you think finding an old post about a sim that you don't like, commenting something totally irrelevant and giving a laughing smiley is the way how adults communicate these days, then I can't help you. Please give me another 'haha' emoji just to make your day perfect. Cheers!

I honestly think AMS2 will always have too much space on any real simracing forum. Which simracer is interested in this odd, arcadish, floating and slippering game?

Yeah I agree the Forza end of the spectrum gets too much attention on here... All these Ian Bell articles can go in there as well... It's been well over a decade since GTR2 he's irrelavent to sim racing now...

But casual motorsports titles where 10 laps on defaults is all that matters sell well... So I guess it's easy clickbait for RD...
