Automobilista 2 | 1995 CART Tease

ams2 1995 cart.jpg
Just yesterday Reiza Studios teased their latest update to AMS2 with this tweet.

https://twitter.com/x/status/1498449020095717385

As far as I can tell, in this tweet that is a 1995 CART.

We already have Indy Cars in AMS2 from 1998 and 2000 and further additions to this category are very welcome.

The 1995 Indy car World Series was the seventeenth season of the CART era and consisted of 17 races. The driver’s champion was Jacques Villeneuve, who had been rookie of the year in 1994. Villeneuve won the opening race in Miami, he won again in Cleveland and Road America and was also crowned race winner at the Indy 500.

In this Tweet, Reiza states that further information about the March update will be released this week.

Reiza Studios have been pumping out many updates, some of which have drastically changed the way the cars handle and behave.

What updates are you hoping for this March?

I cant say I am excited about this content.For me the really fast cars like Indycar or F1 in any sims are good if you want a driving simulator but I find the actual racing is just not enjoyable because you dont have close races.The cars spread out & then you drive round on your own.

AMS2 has turned into more of a drift simulator than a racing simulator. It's faster to slide cars around turns, which makes it very arcadey. Whatever they did to the braking system in the last patch, they need to undo. They completely screwed up the braking. With every release comes a new batch of bugs to join the last batch of bugs that didn't get fixed.

Not sure what cars you are driving but there is no modern cars that drive like that and wants to be drifted. Are you sure you are not driving on old physics by not having deleted the AMS2 folders after v1.3?

Some cars are still pretty drifty.
On the Reiza forms a pro stock car driver did a review video on the 21 stock car and pointed out that the brakes are too sensitive, they lack corner exit grip and that his fastest laps were done power drifting through the corners.
All of which were uncharacteristic of the RL car.
The lancer RS is another

Remove all the aids in AMS2 and delete your steering wheel settings for the other simulations, no quibbling, just take a cart and go for a nice circuit, you will be dazzled, especially if you are driving in VR, driving is really intuitive, as in reality, when you get into a car you don't know, it doesn't take an hour to avoid breaking your face while driving without taking any risks, even an F1 if you are going really very slowly ... ;-) in some simulations it is however the case!
In AMS2 if you drive "cushy" driving is ultra easy, as in reality, it is only when you arrive at the limits that you have to start driving, the reactions are clean, if the 'we start with an error and that this error is repairable, if we do what is necessary we get out of it, otherwise we go to the cows in a logical way! (I don't know if it's also an English expression ;-)
I competed as an amateur many years ago now, average driver I don't sell myself, I just know how to drive a little to give an opinion, only AMS2 gives me these feelings of realism.
Thank you Reiza! improve the live and allow the adjustment of the mirrors in VR, I will be the happiest of men.

Yeah I've been part of the beta group so know the drill about deleting wheel settings etc. Plus I never ever use any aids, the handling just feels a bit numb. End of the day I think growing up on ISI engines has made me stuck in my ways about how things should feel.... Even though AC doesn't run on ISI!?!? Oh well, maybe I'll catch AMS3 - the new content looks great though. Reminds me of CART factor and IDT 94/95 mods for RF1. Those were the days!

There are a number of games that made common experience to have ultra-sharp cars that will have an hyper-active front and will loop the car as soon as you give a bit too much input. That probably has influenced the habits of the simracing market as a whole.

I've seen that video and tested the same Stock Car. That car has a specific issue with brakes I do not have on any other car. I use most of the times 95% brake pressure with no issues and I have completely stock sensitivity settings both on Fanalab and AMS2.
But that has nothing to do with the sim willing to be driven drifting cars: drifting cars is not rewarding since at least v1.2.
Taking the braking issues of a car (or even a few cars) to conclude that the whole sim is a drifting arcadey thing (which BTW is a completely different matter) is a bit of a far cry for me, definitely an exaggeration IMHO.

It isn't, but I may start using that :)

It's an old French expression, used in aviation, when a plane must land off a landing strip. But it can be applied to cars, of course. In French it gives "Aller aux vaches".
There is an English expression too I guess? Have fun on AMS2 anyway! :)

Honestly, testing VR, before I didn't have much fun driving in F1 or Cart or others, now I'm enjoying it! It's so scary to crash in F1 at more than 300 km/H! When that happens I often have a shock, despite the atitude!

there a lot of more cars with hyper sensitive braking. against all real world physics. maybe with a load cell brake it´s driveable. with that brakes a lot of people instantly give the game back to steam.
even when i turn the pressure down to 60 the brakes are sensitive as hell. it should be very easy to see for the devs if they took they job serious. Sometimes i ask myself do they really want more players. braking is the most important thing to getting better in a sim. the indycars breaking very well with 85 or 80, but a lot of the other open wheelers i can´t take serious so long the wheels are blocking at 250 kph.
The ABS didn´t work well too. at the moment it´s not really enjoyable if you expect more than single races with AI that can take lines from another planet and AI pit stop strategy are even extreme strange.
the most fun i have in time trial with AMS2 and when i want race a cool stockcar race i go back to AMS1. extreme funny when i see streamers who run 5 lap races and say AI is top.

I know a few aviation expressions in English, but I have never heard that one. I asked a friend who is a pilot and he hasn't heard it either.

But I like it! Je vais souvent aux vauches avec ma voiture pendant la course. I'll have that in the back of my mind the next time I mow some grass!

I race with people using non-loadcell pedals and not all of them have the issue you describe. Actually many do not have that issue.
That is what makes it difficult for developers to address, not laziness or carelessness: not all users are having the same problem and that is probably half linked to the specific hardware and how that interfaces with AMS2 and half to the user settings probably originating from use of other sims.

on ssteam many people have that problem. i have g920 brake pedals without that rubber in the brake. that make the brake to light maybe. The f3 car is not driveable. but like i wrote before the blocking of the wheels make no sense for a racing slick. it feels like very low g- and weight-forces on the wheel. not all open wheel cars but enough. like i wrote the cart cars are nearly perfect. with them braking is no problem.
lazyness is maybe the wrong word. but i think reiza should fix that. in rfactor2 or AC i have not that problem with braking. i can´t play online with some cars, when i can´t control the cars perfect on the brake. i don´t wont destroy other races
maybe with my new fanatec setup it´s easier

I don't have a very expensive brake system, but a 200 euro Fanatec brake, but I have no problems with braking. On the contrary, I perfectly dose my braking as never before and it is moreover when braking that I most easily overtake my opponents...
Afterwards, very often, depending on the car, I set the braking in the settings to 70, 75 rather than 90 as originally set.
But it's a personal choice and everyone can adjust their car as they wish.
On my Fanatec Elite steering wheel which is getting old but still working perfectly, the brake adjustment (BRF) I put it at the lowest, below 10, I don't remember what it says.
I disabled auto qualibration in the steering wheel settings, in the Fanatec app, not in AMS2 to make myself clear.
I hope this will help you?

I paste my previous answer, hope you help....

You can increase the difficulty of the AI, percent by percent, up to 200% I think, are you a resurrected Aerton Senna? ;-)
