Che spettacolo

[MarcoR1]

@Walker™ Come guida si avvicina più alla v10 o alle classic gen1/2?

Qualcuno ha mai provato il FFB custom editando il file nella cartella Documenti? avrei qualche domanda da fargli.

Allora la V10 e le Classic G1/2 non le provo davvero da tanto. La G3 provata ieri e a sensazioni mi sembra un po' più vicina alla V10 soprattutto in fase di accelerazione. Mi ricordo che la G1 e la G2 erano davvero nervose in fase di accelerazione. Il che mi sembra plausibile considerando che agli inizi dei 90s l'elettronica ha cominciato a prendere il sopravvento.

A livello di downforce invece credo sia più simile al resto delle Classic che non alla V10

Però dovrei riprovarle ora dopo tutti gli aggiornamenti

Ottimo, era quello che speravo; le auto a ruote scoperte, soprattutto le varie gen e le v10 e v12, sono quelle che preferisco.

Non so perché invece non riesco a farmi piacere quelle a ruote coperte, troppo imprecise, scivolose e lente, quasi noiose (negli altri sim invece erano divertenti lo stesso).

Per me continua ad esserci un sovrasterzo esagerato, una roba troppo strana.. persino nei curvoni veloci nella parte finale di Jerez, più dai gas più l'auto gira puntando l'interno. Ed è comune un po' a tutte le auto. Con l'ultima GTR mi pare (una sorta di gt), le facevo in pieno, bastava dare gas che tanto con il sovrasterzo perenne stava alla corda. Passare dalle gt di acc a questa, sembrava di guidare un giocattolo.

Provato poi anche una F1 storica ante 70', sovrasterzo ovunque non appena superavo il 30% di gas. Cioè sembra che il retrotreno debba sempre scavalcare il davanti, a prescindere, in ogni situazione.

Migliorato il ffb invece, l'ho trovato più naturale.

V0.9.6.1 has now been deployed - this is a hotfix to complement changes from the previous v0.9.6.0 update.

The Speed Sensitivity slider now added to the Control Configuration UI should be useful for gamepad & other digital controllers; it should otherwise be kept at 0% for those running with a steering wheel.

Minor UI label fixes

PHYSICS

Another housekeeping update with Automobilista 2 now hitting v0.9.7.0, ticking off some more remaining must-haves for official release and rectifying a couple of errors from the update earlier in the week.

There are a couple of WIP developments in this build to take note of - while several cars now have working wipers, several others still don´t and the wiper animations does not yet quite match the water being wiped from the windscreen. This is just a result of the work here not being quite finished as of v0.9.7.0, all cars will feature fully functioning wipers in time for v1.0 release.
Another unfinished development is the placing of actual sponsors for the trackside advertising - only the ones in the Brazilian Stock Car calendar have received these updates so far, with all other tracks still to be updated with proper trackside ads for V1.0 release.

V0.9.7.0 CHANGELOG:
GENERAL
Added custom pit speed limits per series regulations; baseline is 60km/h for national & club series, 100km/h for modern Formulas, 250 km/h for Historical content
Corrected series / class grouping and grouping within series so different models are sorted in the grid (when series feature cars of different classes) or randomized (when they are of the same class)
Disabled visual ghost effect in pit lane and pit exit

UI & HUD
Fixed vehicle info for F-Classic G3M1, G3M3, MRX

PHYSICS
Revised adhesive friction curve with velocity for all tyres
Reduced wheel contact factor (reduces chances of "exploding" collisions with wheel-to-wheel contact)
Fixed minor tread width innacuracies in F-Classic, F-Trainer tyres
Further areo revisions to MRX, F-3, F-V12, Ultima GTR (Road)
Further car-specific FFB fine tuning (max force, smoothing, scrub radius)
Further engine inertia revisions

AI
Reduced AI front buffer distances (AI is slightly less tentative when a pack of cars is ahead)
Reduced AI lifting off the throttle over puddles
Reduced wall check function (AI is less tentative when driving close to walls)
Reduced ranges for AI drivers inconsistency & performance loss from stamina over longer races
Adjust AI steer smoothing to improve pitlane mobility
Adjusted AI Grip multipliers for Velopark, Adelaide, Azure, Montreal, Londrina

AUDIO
Fixed AI engine sound position being on wrong side for seevral all cars.
Added dedicated sound effect for grasscrete material
Fixed odd ducking of sounds over curbs, lessened crackling on tyre sound effects
Improved sound in stereo mode
Replay onboard engine audio properly positioned.
Starting sound correctly positioned

TRACKS
Added Stock Car series trackside advertising for tracks in the 2019/2020 calendar

VEHICLES
Added wiper animations for Ultima GTR, Stock Car V8, Super V8, Sprint Race, Caterham Academy, Lancer Cup (WIP)
Fixed driver animation for F-Trainer
F-Reiza: Fixed bug restricting field to a single livery

Arriva un po' in anticipo il development update di Giugno, ma porta con sé nuove importanti notizie. La più importante è che oggi è in arrivo la versione 1.0 del simulatore che porta con sé numerosi e importanti update e miglioramenti in aree chiave. Gli sviluppatori però tendono a precisare che il gioco è tutt'altro che finito, visto che si tratta di un progetto a lungo termine che verrà aggiornato e supportato per anni  per aggiornamenti gratuiti e a pagamento.

Nuovi contenuti

Coloro che vengono dalla versione 0.9.7.0 troveranno moltissimi nuovi contenuti: da AMS1 tornano le Stock Car del 1979 con le livree storiche, il kartodromo di Granja Viana e l'Autodromo Nelson Piquet di Brasilia. Altri contenuti faranno il loro ritorno da AMS1.

Per quanto riguarda le nuove licenze abbiamo un classico tracciato portoghese, le Ginetta G55 GT4 Supercup e G58 P1 (e non sono le uniche licenziate), e la Formula Retro di prima generazione con le tre auto storiche già svelate in precedenza: Lotus 72E, Brabham BT44 e McLaren M23

Per gli amanti delle auto e piste storiche c'è molto altro in arrivo

Prezzo
Coloro che hanno tenuto d'occhio l'early access già sanno la politica di prezzo per Automobilista 2: con la fine dell'early access il prezzo sarebbe stato portato a 44.99€. Ma visto che il rilascio coincide con i saldi estivi di Steam gli sviluppatori hanno deciso di non alzare il prezzo per un altro paio di settimane. Ma c'è di più: chiunque abbia acquistato questo gioco in early access o lo acquisterà prima della fine dei saldi di Steam riceverà il DLC di Hockenheim in maniera totalmente gratuita!

Dopo i saldi il DLC verrà venduto separatamente e come parte del Season Pass 2020-2021

Nuova generazione delle Stock Car Brasil

Il campionato Stock Car Brasil ha un significato speciale per Reiza, essendo stato il protagonista del loro primo gioco, e Automobilista 2 vuole rendere omaggio a questa partnership duratura inserendo nel gioco diverse stagioni storiche (1979, 1986 e 1999). Ma tornando al presente, Reiza ha l'onore di presentare la generazione 2020 della Stock Car Brasil, che ora vede due costruttori con la Toyota Corolla che si aggiunge alla Chevrolet Cruze

Il vero campionato dovrebbe partire questa settimana, ma prima della gara vera i piloti verranno chiamati a partecipare al primo appuntamento del campionato eSport che si terrà proprio su AMS2 con queste auto il primo luglio!

Per questo mese è tutto
