mi sembra che abbiano migliorato il problema del "FRENO" in diverse auto

ho provato con le Stock car brasiliane ma ho dovuto abbassare al 70% perchè se no bloccavo sempre le ruote.

Altra cosa che ho notato, forse è un bug o un errore di programmazione, la regolazione del bilanciamento della frenata in auto funziona al contrario.

sì, anch'io ho dovuto mappare i tasti sul volante al contrario

Reiza Studios ha appena rilasciato tramite Steam il nuovo update v0.8.2.0 per il suo Automobilista 2. Come potete leggere qui di seguito, le novità e migliorie sono numerose, in particolare riguardo al comparto fisico ed alla IA. Commenti a questo link del forum.

Quote

V0.8.2.0 is now up on Steam, introduces several substantial updates to Physics & AI along with the new Photo Mode.
IMPORTANT: In order to ensure you completely reset your build to the latest changes, it´s strongly recommended to delete your MyDocs/Automobilista 2 settings folder and start anew - make sure to callibrate your controller, and that your pedals are callibrated to the complete 1-100 range (some users have reported needing to callibrate pedals twice for it to register - we´re still investigating it).

V0.8.2.0 CHANGELOG:
CONTENT

• Added Snetterton 100 layout
• Added Velocittá CD layout
• Added Interlagos Historic External Ring layout

F-Reiza: fixed duplicated livery
F-V12: Added new Community Skins
F-Ultimate: Updated liveries for Reiza / Milano / Groove teams (logos/materials)

AI & PHYSICS UPDATES

This build features some major physics and AI improvements - it is recommended to reset your setups and AI Aggression setting.
On the AI side, the AI Aggression system has been completely revamped, changing the way the AI evaluates passing opportunities and how that blends with the AI Aggression setting - 50-70% is a good starting point, with 100% almost sure to result in at least some AI-to-AI crashes.
The AI performance range has also been adjusted but as overall callibration is still in progress you may still observe inconsistencies against player performance as you go from class to class and through different sessions and weather conditions - this should be evolving consistently as we progress through Early Access. AI performance on the run-down to the 1st corner and generally over the first lap likewise will still be callibrated further in upcoming builds.

On the physics side, the biggest change is the addressing of an error that was causing fast dampers not to be disabled in cars that didn´t have suspensions with 2-stage damping (pretty much all cars in the game except the F-V10, F-Reiza, F-Ultimate and SuperV8) - this effectively meant dampers would not work right at certain speeds or were broken altogether, fixing this has gone a long way towards rectifying some of the handling anomalities reported since Beta began. While not all will have substantial handling differences, pretty much every car is worth revisiting with this update.
One of the positive side-effects of this correction is that Force Feedback may feel better / more consistent than before, as a result of the suspension now working properly (rather than development of the FFB system per se).

Ci sto provando a farmelo piacere, ma per me al momento puzza ancora troppo di pcars 2.. 

In particolare non riesco a mandare giù il sovrasterzo eccessivo che si innesca a centro curva non appena si riprende in mano il gas. È come se l'anteriore avesse un grip eccessivo, più dai gas più l'auto sovrasterza puntando l'interno curva. Oltretutto è di una facilità disarmante da controllare, e succede con tutte le trazioni posteriori. Era un cosa proprio tipica di pcars 2, dove addirittura succedeva pure con le trazioni anteriori se si esagerava col camber negativo davanti.. 

Non so, a me sembra del tutto innaturale, negli altri sim non succede nulla di simile.

Reiza ha appena rilasciato tramite Steam un nuovo update per il suo Automobilista 2. L'aggiornamento porta il simulatore alla versione 0.8.4.0 con numerose migliorie e novità, anche in ambito force feedback.

Automobilista 2 V0.8.4.0 RELEASED!

Automobilista 2 v0.8.4.0 has been deployed now - here are some important info about the changes in this release:

BRAKES for all cars, including optimum temp ranges, wear, fade & failure properties have all been thoroughly revised according to the brake materials and specs of each car. These will address the brake failure issues from v0.8.3.2 and should hopefully provide more realistic wear and more "feel" on some cars.

CUSTOM DATE option has been temporarily removed from session options, now sessions will always run on default date for that track - with that we have also addressed the bug that would cause a new track selection to retain the default date of the previous track, which could be particularly problematic when for example the user switched from a Brazilian track with a December Summer default date to an European track, leading the latter to load with winter weather and temperatures with fairly big impact on physics that the user wouldn´t have an obvious visual cue for. Next step will be to add a custom season option along with seasonal foliage (which besided the added visual variety will provide the visual cue for different temperatures). Option to customize date may be added at a later stage once we have more systems feeding correctly from such a specific setting.

FORCE FEEDBACK: we have included an additional "NEW DEFAULT" profile featuring several Force Feedback developments, as an option to the "OLD DEFAULT" profile in the FFB UI - those with existing game settings will remain with "OLD" until they opt to switch to "NEW" . As the Gain, Low Force Boost and FX sliders work quite differently in the "NEW" profile, we want to give people the chance to opt into the new once they have understood how the Sliders may need to be adjusted.

Main differences with "NEW DEFAULT" relate to the Low force Boost slider. and how it interacts with the Gain slider.

In AMS2 "OLD DEFAULT" profile, Gain slider was a confusing device as overall output FFB path was setup badly, with Low Force Boost applied after Gain slider - this was problematic as essentially then you have as many combinations of what happens with signal as there are settings on Gain slider, leading to big inconsistencies (this explains some of the difficulties users had finding a good all-around FFB setting that worked well with all cars, specially on more powerful wheels).

With the "NEW DEFAULT" profile, Low Force Boost is applied before Gain slider, leading to more consistent behavior - it is now factored in the same order as AMS1.
Sample of differences in LFB curve with OLD vs NEW profile:

In the next build we will be adding further functions, including an updated tyre scrub formula & a minimum force configuration. Future builds will see a custom FFB multiplier per car so that users can fine tune each car to their preference. Once these and some other minor adjustments are completed, we believe AMS2 FFB will be ready for v1.0 release and by then "old" default profile will have been completely phased out.

V0.8.4.0 CHANGELOG:
CONTENT
Added Interlagos Kart track (3 layouts)

GENERAL
Disabled custom event date setting
Fixed bug that would cause a new track selection to retain the default date of the previous track
Fixed multiplayer client rebroadcasting (could cause clients to be dropped from server)

UI & HUD
Added pedal input & engine power/torque data to telemetry screen
Fixed reported issues with VR / Triple HUD customization (needs validation, will reset any previous edit in those types of display)
Reenabled HUD selection for Options screen in-session

FORCE FEEDBACK
Added "New Default" FFB profile, with the following changes vs "old Default:
"Remapped" Gain slider
Improved Low Force Boost formula
A more detailed calculation of steering linkage ratios and how they influence force transferred over to the rack
Overall small change in FFB output
More accurate self-aligning torque and factors in residual Mz, camber inclination Mz; steer gyro Mz

PHYSICS & AI
Updated brake disc thickness, optimum temps, wear, failure, fade properties with variations depending on brake material, fixing brake failure issues from previous build & improving brake feel on some cars
Minor adjustments to F-Classic tyre tread (all gens)
Adjusted AI tyre rolling resistance in F-V12, F-3, Roco
Minor AI performance update for Brands Hatch, Campo Grande, Donington, Guapore, Montreal, Oulton Park, Snetterton, Velocittá

VEHICLES
