[Bram Hengeveld]

I am in but probably not for the win

 

[Yannik Haustein]

Gonna miss the DPi, but I'm in anyway

 

[Bjorn de Haas]

Need to wake up early Saturday for work upcomming weeks . so i will join another time

 

[The Almighty Snark]

Count me in!

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Count me in!

Counting you in! See you Friday.

Shall we keep the F3's for a few weeks to get familiar with it and progress to IndyCars at some point?

 

[nepal roade]

I'm def interested in this event and using this car. In AMS1 we had 2 full seasons using this car and I had many great races on Brazilian tracks with it. I just need to test this afternoon to make sure I'm ok for it. Wouldn't be interested in the Indy cars tho but if it gets you the numbers, I'd understand.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Personally I don't need much faster material than the F3. Low powered, high downforce, provides for great online racing.

I like that idea! Though we really ought to try whatever has our fancy, AMS2 has a lot of fun combinations to offer!

 

[nepal roade]

I should be fine for this. I just need to get the back end tamed, I'm not getting any feelings.

 

[Yannik Haustein]

And so, the Road to Indy begins...
I'm definitely up for that idea!

 

[Piotrek Blaszczak]

Sign me up. Thank you.

 

[Redvaliant]

I'll try these thanks - don't think I've ever driven these, but what the hey!

Hey all, I just had a wee hit out in these, and wow they are great cars. Can anyone shed any light on the TC/ABS settings? In the menu it's 0-10, 0 =off /10 =max. But in the car, the range is 0-60, and I don't understand what these values represent. I want to minimise the ABS and to have very little TC.

Are you sure you've got the right cars? The F3 cars have not TC.

Though sometimes things are enabled or disabled in AMS2. For example the LMP2 Sigma P1 car had DRS everywhere, you could just willy nilly enable and disable the rear wing.

EDIT: You can also check the HUD in the bottom right within the speedometer gauge, you see a ABS and TC icon there, they light up orange if they are active. I haven't seen them active for the F3 cars.

On another note, at the car selection screen you have the ELECTRONICS box, this will say TC + ABS if they are included, or just TC for example.

 

[Kees Veenstra]

I'm in as well

Hi. Do you take AMS2 new drivers? I'm a regular in the AC club at RD run by the excellent Han and Brian with about 70 races in GT3/4. That club and the great and respectful racing I have found here has got me somewhat addicted to sim racing online. I can never make their mid week races with my job but Fridays are good and this looks something new to try. I have virtually zero AMS2 experience but I would like to join in and give it a go. .
