Ah, it should be the one without the chicane before the kink - let me check I have the right one on the server..... I wasn't aware there were 3 variants - only two are showing on the server list

Redvaliant · Jul 27, 2023

Hey Craig, welcome back. I have the version that is the longest of the 3 on the server - not the TC or the short version. I can't recall what it's actual name is in game - GP? - but it's that one, the long one.

Denis Betty · Jul 27, 2023

Such a shame that this is on the same evening as the Lotus 25 in AC. I'd like to do both and there isn't anything else that "floats my boat" (sic) atm.

Anyway, good luck for Tuesday guys. If anybody is reading this and unsure whether to sign up or not - just do it. This is a fine combo and you are in good hands with the guys at this club. They'll look after you and guide you through any difficulties faster than you can blink. You'll wonder why you never did it earlier, guaranteed.

Cautiously putting myself forward for this one, I' m conscious I didn't show up last time due to an unforeseen commitment but keen to participate.

Hi Bob, Hi Adrian, added.

Redvaliant · Jul 27, 2023

As always the server is up. I'll post a few settings for ingame huds and stuff a bit later ( for the new to AMS2 guys).

Redvaliant · Jul 28, 2023

There's a host of things to sort in AMS2 to enjoy it to the fullest, like getting your FFB set up well.
That's for another time though, first, here's how to order your huds in-game.
You have two cockpit huds, plus a telemetry hud and a clear screen option that you navigate through a funky switch or D Pad depending on your wheel. The key bindings for scrolling through the huds are in the Options/Controller/Game setting.
Here's what the 1st cockpit view in options looks like:

You can select the option you want and move it where you like as well as enable/disable all the elements too.
Here's mine with the leaderboard, full speedo, full tyre/damage/wear & the laptime icons.

The 2nd Hud, and the one I actually use during races is the Light version. Minimal speedo and tyres and the relative timing screen enabled.

There is more you can adjust such as size and depth and other tricks explained in the help screen seen above in the customisation menu. These setting will be mirrored in both VR and monitor view with slight differences.

If you wish to use Crew Chief or Simhub you need to enable shared memory and UDP in the system settings. If you don't use 3rd party apps don't use UDP as it's been known to cause issues.
