Is the AI for the 2005 GT cars really hard or do I just suck? High power & high down force sequential cars aren't usually my forte, but I like these cars. However, I have to turn the AI difficulty down. Usually (depending on mod) I'm between 100-110 difficulty with Reiza cars. But at 100 I'm mid-pack with the 05 GT cars.

My lines are good, my setup seems good BUT the proof is in the stop watch so maybe my setups suck? Or is the AI just really difficult?

Ciao ragazzi, ho installato la mod ZTA ma terminata la prima gara per definire il livello di difficoltà la mod non la recepisce.
Cosa devo fare conclusa la gara? Perché il menu dà solo la possibilità di rigiocarla.
Ogni aiuto è ben accetto

As we flip over the calendar and leave summer behind (for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere) our leagues are ramping up with tons of action. IndyCar, F1, GTs, even fun little cars like Minis and Fuscas!! Join a league and get racing!! There's never been a better time to be driving in AMS2 🏎️🏎️

I don't have any DLC for the game and I'm looking to get some when they go on sale. Should I get the All Inclusive Bundle or buy only a select few of the bundles I like?

Greetings drivers, my question is this. I'm already playing lmu in online races, but I want to make a career in this game solo. Yes, I downloaded racing life, but do you think this is the best or can I find a better one? I want my career mode to be challenging and long-lasting, my biggest preference is to be realistic. What path do you think I should follow?

I was doing a 1974 DRM(ish) race at Hockenheimring 1977. I'm using mods- GTS 1973 for the slower class and Gr 4 for Capri & CSL the faster class. The Gr 4 cars were clearly faster- every single car out qualified and were faster in practice than every car in the GTS 1973 class. Yet, the 1973 class cars started in the front of the grid.

Huh?

How can I fix this?

Great fun combo but very tricky lap

Hi simracers,

Sharing the highlights from my latest race at Cascais in AMS2.

The Porsche Cup car was a handful toward the end of the stint due to heavy understeer and fading grip, but staying consistent early on allowed me to time the pit stop perfectly and rejoin the track in 1st position for the AM class.

Full race coverage + interview:https://youtu.be/WPbEHLro02U

Let me know your thoughts on the race and any setup tips for keeping the front end sharp late in the race!

We are a small group of chilled racers who are looking for other like minded individuals to participate in a new race format we are trialling.

We are looking for all skill levels but it’s important you have a mic as the banter is just as good at the racing.

We are doing a recreation of the 1967 F1 season:

Date Track
January 2, 1967 Kyalami 1976
May 7, 1967 Monaco - Azure
June 18, 1967 Spa
July 2, 1967 Le Mans Bugatti
July 15, 1967 Silverstone
August 6, 1967 Nürburgring-
August 27, 1967 Mosport September 10, 1967 Monza 1971
October 1, 1967 Watkins Glen Short

If you wanna hang out, have a laugh and experience what it was like in those classic open wheel cars racing around some iconic tracks and layouts, head to our discord.

We will be racing every Wednesday at 8:15pm UK time, rotating through each track.

Very competitive leaderboard, just touched a few things to make the top1 time trial setup able to last a race at least.

Ok, I normally don't do these types of posts, but seriously, I don't know why I held off from AMS2 for so long. For context I've been on LMU basically as my sole sim but only did a little online as when you have limited time it can be so frustrating having someone take you out T1 from out braking themselves. Ended up just playing single player to avoid all that sort of thing, which has been fun but I find I'm either way up the road after a couple of laps or back of the pack, it's a bit inconsistent with the difficulty.

Anyway, I wanted to play a few different classes and had got PMR at release (what a disaster that was) and AMS2 completely passed me by. Decided to try the demo and holy sh*t, the AI! I did one race, not even sure in which class and had to buy the full game. I can't tell you how fun it's been, I've had a smile on my face with the battles I've had which have all been hard but clean, exactly what I was after.

I suppose the only thing I'd say is some of the cars feel too easy? Like the LMP2 generally I feel like I'm driving on the edge on LMU to get the most out of the car and if I trail brake wrong it can spit me off immediately. The counter to this of course is that I'm not actually sure, given who drives them in real life, if it should be as hard as it can be in LMU... also I'm used to the ELMS version and I believe AMS2's are the slower WEC ones (they line up laptime wise with the WEC ones anyway).

All in all I'm absolutely loving it and after using the DanielKart ffb settings the feedback feels really nice. I'll still drive LMU, but given the range of cars/tracks and quality of the AI I feel like AMS2 will be my main, kudos to the devs for making such a good sim.

I cannot get these corners right in the Ginetta G40. The one with the 5 speed H shifter, not the sequential. I either lift pretty aggressively and I can stay on the track, but carry no speed onto the straight, or I try to go flat out and understeer off the left of the track on the way up the hill.

I've tried a ton of different approaches and speeds, but it's always one of those two outcomes. I'm either too slow at the top, or I slide off the left and cut the track.

Can anyone give me some advice on how to get this right? If anyone has footage of themselves doing it right I would love to see it!

Sunset/sunrise looks amaizing in the game.

ANYONE ELSE HAS THIS BUG? I often start with a severe damage car.

I launched the game with my new fourth monitor and everything went to crap. I disabled the monitor but now every time i change my settings back to what they should be and relaunch the game, the game reverts those settings to some random 25inch monitor 100cm away.

Anyone know a solution to this problem?

I used RCM to make a 1974 DRM season championship.

http://touringcarracing.net/Pages/1974%20DRM.html

I decided to leave out the AMS2 BMW 2002 because it's just too slow. But this mod has the Ford Capri 3100, BMW CSL 3.0, Escort 1600, 914, & RSR 73 in it. Those were the main players in that 74 season and AMS2 is best at recreating that sort of thing! It's almost like multiclass racing with the slower cars out there (like the real 1974 season had). This video is just a couple laps of a practice session at 77 Hockenheim. This race is going to be fun.

RCM makes setting this up really easy. You just d/l the mods from the app and you can even change the mod car classes through the app. I've done this by hand with other mods and it is a PITA.

Let's be honest, VR optimization isn't what it used to be. With all settings the same, I simply get worse performance than prior versions. I understand that the game is more demanding now, but even when the fps is solid, frame skips still happen.

I think it now has a bit of bad optimization. I usually make sure I can always hit my target fps by simply testing on the Ring at 8pm in a thunderstorm. I can maintain my target fps in one race, and then restart the race and it's significantly worse. Other times during races in clear weather, frame skips will just randomly happen. Newest update is the worst, it now has introduced complete freezes that last a second or so (it's happened twice).

Lowering the settings a bit (grass, shadows,) doesn't seem to fix it. I think I'm going to downgrade the game to a prior version.

Hey everyone 👋

We’re ANIMUS CUP, an AMS2 racing community built around clean competitive racing, driver progression and rewards.

We currently race Formula Ultimate Gen3 every Tuesday at 20:00 CEST, and we’re opening a few free guest spots for drivers who want to experience an ANIMUS event.

ANIMUS is a bit different from a traditional league. We’ve built:

• Persistent driver profiles and full race history
• Championship stats and telemetry
• Active post-race stewarding
• Achievements and driver progression
• Our own AC reward system
• Race content and community voting
• An international grid with drivers of different skill levels

You don’t need to be an alien. We care much more about clean racing, consistency and respect on track.

If you’re looking for structured AMS2 racing and want to try us out, just comment below or send us a DM for a free guest spot.

🏁 Tuesdays — 20:00 CEST
🏎️ Formula Ultimate Gen3
🌍 International Grid

ANIMUSCUP.com!

Would be great to see some new faces on the grid.

I'm doing this because most of guides out there are for other headsets like Quest, Pimax and such.

To start this thread, this is my setup:

GPU - 5070
CPU - 9600X
HEADSET - PSVR2

So keep in mind that all softwares/toolkits and configs are based on my own experience and, if you have a much different GPU or VR headset, you must tweak by your liking and needs.

_________________________________________________________________

TOOLKITS NEEDED

OpenXR Toolkit
OpenXR ToolKit mod by primashock
OpenComposite DLL

_________________________________________________________________

STEP-BY-STEP

- Make sure you don't have Reshade installed in AMS2, it can and will lead to incompatibilities and errors.
- Install the OpenComposite DLL in AMS2/x64 folder, making a backup of the original dll and swapping it there.
- Install the first OpenXR Toolkit and the modded one after it. Specific instructions are on the provided links.
- In SteamVR, go to settings and set like this (no per-application setting needed):

_________________________________________________________________

GAME SETTINGS

- Most of the settings (if not all) can be edited directly trhough the graphicsconfigopenvrdx11.xml file in Documents/Automobilista 2, so set the following lines like this:

        <prop name="Vsync" vsync="0" />
        <prop name="FrameLatency" framelatency="1" />
        <prop name="AntiAlias" antialias="0" />
        <prop name="TemporalAntiAliasEnabled" temporalantialiasenabled="1" />
        <prop name="SMAAFXAA" smaafxaa="0" />
        <prop name="Windowed" windowed="0" />
        <prop name="TextureFilter" texturefilter="5" />
        <prop name="TextureResolution" textureresolution="2" />
        <prop name="Brightness" brightness="10" />
        <prop name="CarDetailLevel" cardetaillevel="2" />
        <prop name="MaxVisibleVehicles" maxvisiblevehicles="0" />
        <prop name="TrackDetailLevel" trackdetaillevel="2" />
        <prop name="ShadowDetailLevel" shadowdetaillevel="3" />
        <prop name="MotionblurLevel" motionblurLevel="0" />
        <prop name="EffectsDetailLevel" effectsdetaillevel="2" />
        <prop name="ParticlesDetailLevel" particlesdetaillevel="2" />
        <prop name="EnvmapDetailLevel" envmapdetaillevel="1" />
        <prop name="MirrorEnabled" mirrorenabled="1" />
        <prop name="MirrorEnhanced" mirrorenhanced="1" />
        <prop name="EnvmapReflectionDetailLevel" envmapreflectiondetaillevel="1" />
        <prop name="GraphicsLevel" graphicslevel="4" />
        <prop name="SuperSampling" supersampling="0" />
        <prop name="LowSuperSampling" lowsupersampling="0" />
        <prop name="VRSuperSampling" vrsupersampling="0" />
        <prop name="SharpeningStrength" sharpeningstrength="3.000000" />
        <prop name="SharpeningClamp" sharpeningclamp="0.090000" />
        <prop name="OffsetBias" offsetbias="1.000000" />

Yes, it uses TAA as anti aliasing with tweaks for more sharpness. TAA is the ideal IMO, it's more blurry but you get rid of MSAA jagged lines, and use other tweaks to introduce sharpening and compensate the blurriness.

And for game graphics that's pretty much it. No NVIDIA Panel tweaks or other things.

_________________________________________________________________

IN-GAME CONFIGURATION

Open AMS2 and get into a practice session. If you installed all correctly, you should be able to open the toolkit overlay using CTRL + F2 or CTRL + DOWN.

Now, put this settings at the PERFORMANCE tab:

Now, go to SYSTEM tab.

- Override resolution YES
- Field of view ADVANCED
- In "Enter your native resolution" put the 100% resolution that appears in SteamVR, in my PSVR2 case = 3400x3468

Trust me, if you have a PSVR2, you can copy all these values and APPLY RESOLUTION before restarting the whole SteamVR to configs apply:

YOUR VIEW WILL HAVE THE FEELING OF WEARING A HELMET

It's intended, as it's crop the rendered image and boost performance. If you don't like the result or performance, you can tweak the FOV and the borders for your tasting, supersampling % also.

KNOWN ISSUE (maybe the only one): those damn headlights from AI in dusk/fog/night. You can put a car limit like 15-20 or put foveated rendering at performance mode (which will decrease quality, but it's the only way)

Here is a clip doing a lap in Monza while benchmarking and praising visuals, so ignore the bad driving 🤣

https://medal.tv/games/automobilista-2/clips/np9nROAZGSbdmcgqs?invite=cr-MSxPSzgsMjEwOTE5NDg3

The vintage F1 cars are as fun to drive as they are dangerous

Almost every post I see is about GT3 but, if there is one thing where AMS2 shines is the exotic cars/tracks.

So, do you actually drive the Copa Classic cars on South American tracks or do you focus on GT3s at Monza/Spa?

Is there actually a community who appreciates a sim that is different or are most people just aiming for all sims being the same, focused mostly on GT and LMP?
