Laser scanned tracks

[GermansInAction]

Hello friends,
today I drove the release version of Automobilista 2 and was happy about the good driving experience. I can report that almost all vehicles have 4 tires and a steering wheel that ideally points in the direction of travel. ;-)

I almost have the feeling that Automobilista 2 achieves a simulation level of rFactor 2, only has a nicer graphic. But to determine that exactly, more tests are needed.

But now to the tracks themselves. We don't need to argue about the sense or nonsense of laser-scanned tracks. Everyone has their own preferences. I am always happy about laser-scanned tracks.

Is it known whether Automobilista 2 offers laser scanned tracks and, if so, which ones?

Cheers

A real track changes from year to year, so if you want the real thing you have to update the track data periodically, otherwise its just pure marketing.

Thank you for sharing your opinion. But please respect that we do not discuss the pros and cons of laser-scanned tracks in this thread, but only tell which tracks are laser-scanned and which are not. Since it is still very quiet so far, I suspect that AMS2 does not have any laser-scanned tracks.

Modern Spa will be laser scanned.

It's a very good question actually. I personally like laser-scanned tracks because of the better immersion it gives.

I've heard they use, for some recent tracks (Jerez by example) LIDAR data but they do not scan themself the tracks (unlike iRacing).

Which tracks are laser scanned vs not?

All tracks do feel great, but I'd like to know which tracks are laser scanned since those feel EXTRA bumpy (Brands, Oulton). I'm trying to adjust my...

I don't know what LIDAR is, but basically it is fine for me if a publisher uses external data. The only thing that matters to me is the accuracy of the scanned data. I now consider laser scanned tracks to be "state of the art". In my opinion, they give the Simracer a higher feeling of being real.

This is true, I think Sonoma is the best example of this.

Yeap, tracks in desert or semi arid region are good examples, also very northern tracks.

I'm really looking forward to the next tracks ... I hope they continue to deliver on that same model
