Hi, as AMS is new for most of us I decided to start this thread with things you might not notice in this game, things that migh help or just extend your experience. If somebody wants to add something, feel free (please add --> before your tip to make it visible in text/posts). Thank you
Tips are usualy written in short informative form. If you wanna details ask or google
--> You might need to restart you PC after AMS installation if you encouter FFB and control mapping issues
--> Some cars (V10) have auto upshift setting that is located in 1s garage menu, you need to turn it off there (different than difficulty assits)
--> Cars now have TC and ABS settings in garage menu (different than difficulty assists). You can map them to buttons (TC step up/down, ABS step up/down)
--> Formula Classic (1988) and Retro don`t require clutching on upshifts, just throttle liffting. You still need to clutch (H&T preferably) on downshifts
--> You can drive any car on dirt and super truck tracks by selecting All cars and tracks in class selection screen
--> Selecting All cars and tracks allows you to have mixed class sessions
--> Your pit garage has interior tuned to colors of your team, with team logo on walls
--> For more ballanced jumps with super strucks, brake as approaching edge of ramp and than accelerate and hold throttle mid air. Braking mid air will cause nose dive, rotating wheels will lean your vehicle
--> You can now turn on/off Virtual rearview mirrors in cockpit and Self in rearview in Display settings
--> Along with grip level of track, you can select how fast is track rubbering.
--> You can edit DynHud via editor located in /Plugins/DynHUD/editor.
--> You can choose if you wanna use DynHud or stock hud in Display menu
--> DRS can now be enabled only in DRS zones. You will get the notification on bottom left corner when entering such a zone.
--> There is a surprise at the end of RealFeel.ini
--> Nurburgring GP track by Patrick contains hot chicks on live billboards allong track - don`t get distracted!
ADDITION_1:
--> MoTec DataAquisition and Spotter plugins are working in AMS
--> Horsepowers in car description represent HP output on wheels not engine output
--> Formula 1 cars that are started with external starter in pit can`t be restarted after stalling out on track (list of vehicles related to this will be added after testing)
ADDITION_2:
--> You can disable SweetFX in AMS launcher
--> To run AMS with antialiasing you have to force it via graphic driver (Nvidia profiler or inspector)
--> If you have performance issues related to FFB try setting FFB effects to low or/and set FFB Skip Updates="1" (or 2,3,4, etc) in Controller.ini (located in your game UserData folder)
--> If you have good FPS but still experience stuttering try to run AMS in fullscreen instead of widowed mode. You can set it in AMS Launcher
--> Track usage transfer from session to session (going from practice to qually to race) with some loose of rubber when changing.
ADDITION 3:
--> compound of used tyres affect how fast is track rubbering
ADDITION 4:
--> by editing Eyepoint in car_cockpit.ini you can set starting position of your cockpit camera. From where you can adjust seat forward and backward. That will allow you to move closer to dahsboard.
for example StockV8_2015_cockpitinfo.ini:
Eyepoint=(0.391, 0.78, 0.44) // Driver eyepoint (cockpit view only) ( LEFT/RIGHT, UP/DOWN, FORWARD/BACK)
Editing last value to lower or negative will set you starting position closer to dash. Same goes for vertical and lateral positioning.
--> there are different layouts of DynHUD for practice, race, replay ... if you wanna only one, delete all except overlay.ini in Automobilista\Plugins\DynHUD\config\ ... or alternatively copy paste conetnt of overlay.ini to other ini files (overlay_RACE.ini)
--> excelent Crew Chief (crurrently V4) is now working with AMS (credists and thanx to @mr_belowski and @gongo )
