So I FINALLY Gave Automobilista 2 Another Try...

but the car is fighting it bites in the corners I have grip oh easy okay oh man automobiles tattoo here we go again so after two years of where I've only produced two videos for this particular Sim game whatever you want to call it I thought I would give AMS to another try let's be a substantial update recently which I'm gonna get into and talk about in a second that I think maybe makes this Sim worth another shot now don't get me wrong amf2 is one of those games that says that it's very much a long-term project a work in progress and I think we've seen that over the last couple of years it's been a ton of updates added since the game was released and a lot of cool stuff announced too including actually a version of Lamont I think that is coming to AMS too that sounds awesome well I'm super interested in that especially given the wider range of historic cars present in the game but the reason why I don't play this very much despite all that cool news cool content is because I've never really got on with how this game drives to me it's always felt really weird like the tires aren't quite connected to the tarmac recently the car was seemingly oversteer and understeer at the same time and it's just not something I've ever got my head around and for me I've always recorded videos and stuff that I find entertaining or interesting and I just wasn't captivated by ams2 the situation definitely wasn't held by the fact that when I made that video back in 2021 of the in The Cadillacs at Daytona Not only was I dragged by the ams2 Fanboy Community we should be honest I'm used to by now it comes with a territory when dealing with ams2 and that sort of game but also people involved in the game who should know a lot better and given the nature of the messages that I received I just decided that well I won't play the game then I don't want to give any screen time to no organization that thinks it's okay to act that way so despite all that why am I now back in amf2 well that's because there's been a decent update to the Thai model the thing that I think I had the biggest issue with when playing the game previously so I'm going to read what I think is the standout for this update here I'll also link this down below in the description so you can read it at your own Leisure and again come to your own conclusions about where the game currently sits so the V 1.5 physics overhaul is once again focused on tires with Aero and suspension also receiving substantial developments it was triggered by the discovery of an issue with how the SATA tar model was interacting with the old isi P motor from which it was still getting fed some Tire related values basically this was resulting in a confused Thai car because with oscillating spring rates which are different from what we're actually inputting into STM now now I'm just a sensationalist YouTuber but the way I read that and the way I understand it is that there were basically two different time models putting in different data and just confusing the out of the physics engine which is probably why the car felt like it was oversteery and under steering and flowing all at the same time something that I was actually criticized for saying uh it's better now there that's my one Petty thing it's gone now so right now the update is only applied to a couple of cars and we're gonna drive one of them to get a feel for this new update for myself and give you guys my opinion on how I fill mf2 is coming along here in 2023. this right here is one of the cars that has been updated the formula USA um gen 1 Gen 2 I'm in the Gen 2 right now basically an old cart uh one of the awesome 800 horsepower beasts from back in the day Big Turbo lag lots of wheel spin sequential gearbox so I haven't got one of those right now so it's got the uh Clunkers I'm gonna do a little race around Long Beach an awesome circuit for these cars and a circuit that I feel really actually shows off the difference in the tire model um in this kind of car now on screen right now is a list of the cars that to my knowledge have also been updated to this current Tire model uh not all cars have it at the moment so some cars still feel like they're used to and some cars feel like this it's been a little while Phil squishy back here but happy to give me another go green flag either way we go we're starting from the back of the grid for Content we're gonna see how many places we can make up in these next few laps whilst getting a nice feel for this new tire model or this updated Tire physics set has to offer us we're literally 45 wides going down towards T1 where am I gonna go there's a little hole there we'll try and sneak in on the inside here I thought this is a place to be on that one very very tight through there which is exactly what she said easy up on the curb a bit messy I want to try getting the outside I look like being on the inside for this next Corner because the curb is vicious managing that battle Turbo and getting through in one piece now Long Beach will have a circus where it's right bumpy and the walls are waiting for any excuse to meet you the key there somewhere Jimmy we've got to try and do our best to give the car in one piece before we start pushing forward make sure I get off the throttle person uh properly before shifting up through gears oh Karen hits the wall easy guys come on already you're seeing probably I don't know if you can make out from my driving but the car is biting it bites in the corners I have grip when I turn in I can feel the front tire bite into the tarmac as I try and introduce it to some sort of cornering load the rear of the car it feels like an ash you can get on the throttle and control any sort of wheel spin I have it feels like a car I'm not like something that is kind of vaguely on Rails but not really it's a massive step forward and you can really tell that whatever Comfort they had going on was really affecting things I remember driving not this exact car before so that I'm a back-to-back comparison too for you but some of the cars in the past and it just felt like the way you drove them fast was by forcing understeer and forcing the car from the corner in a horrible way now if you try and do that you're met with what you would get in real life which is oversteer from you planting the thrall and trying to push the car through the corner it's transformed the game into something that I wouldn't touch something that I'm actually sitting in now thinking you know what yeah I could do a few laps of this especially in this car around here I find the biggest Improvement for me is in low speed corners anything low speed because the car it settles in a different way in high speed the car compresses a lot the viero because of the tire load and I still think in some situations that's not quite 100 where it should be but um in for a circular Long Beach if there was property good see that I'm sort of squirming on the power this car is no 800 horsepower or so going for those rear wheels Big Turbo as well it's 2.6 liter engine I think it is a 2.4 I think which one it is but it's a fairly decent engine but the uh when the turbo comes on it comes on strong it feels like a proper open world experiences and it's odd to be saying that about a car in ams2 now please don't get me wrong I've always said that if you enjoyed this Sim you don't need to have a going into that tell you that it's not his cup of tea you can just go and enjoy it my opinion is nothing it's worth nothing easy but it should be anyway this is just you know I I I make videos on YouTube it's kind of my job and people always ask me about this game man everybody have a good answer for them and right now I'm having a great race of this car side by side just about finally getting by and now I'm trying to get a skier in yes okay nice car in the background it's got the toe [Music] be careful on that curb on the inside there is a trap limits there we've found that already very nice the tires now also definitely coming up at temperature it feels a little bit less like it wants to kill me on every corner exit except if I'm in first gear which to be fair I think it's reasonable easy through there nice it feels like the car is really reacting to the bumps of a circuit now it's not just Gliding Over them crazy okay big big move oh wow I just I just drove the guy into the wall sorry bro this is what ai's weakest through here so we get a little bit of a chance to have a go there you go thank you very much okay this this feels like I would imagine one of these cars to drive it feels like a little bit of a just hang on experience Racing's awesome so far no the guy came over and protect the line I was already there this is where having a single monitor is not the one but let's just Pretender didn't happen a little bit of time on our own let's see if we can actually stretch our legs a bit now I don't the best to be the best uh AMS driver in the world I've not been in it for a while so I'm probably quite Scrappy right now and I'm sure those of you who have veterans in this game thinking anything else this guy but I feel like I can actually start to push the limit a bit you know I could I could have these slides and I can gather them up and it feels easy and the car I'm getting intuitive feedback will just tell me how fast and how slow I have to go into these Corners so now obviously you have to build up trick you can't just dive into the corners hope for the best Hoops don't worry about that leaving a little bit of rubber there on the side of the walls to the good people of Long Beach but I feel like I actually have control of the car rather than trying to understand the weird arbitrary thing the car needs to go fast the car was just telling me what it needs to go fast hopefully that makes sense I put the toe of the car in front [Music] massive bump there you get a big jump on the floor seat back and then just dive out hit the anchors a bit too over enthusiastic there they I luckily saw it coming hey I have actually done pretty well here I gotta say Ai and am F2 for me it's definitely been something to write home about but here I'm having I'm having a genuinely a good racer I thought about lunging up the inside there but AI as I've got a better at the field it's a bit later on the break I love getting it sideways it's not good for the rear tires here and the way I'm driving the car isn't necessarily the fastest but it's definitely the most fun I just wish they were a bit better out there in the clutch now to try and make sure I don't miss these upshifts oh my God this is good racing foreign people think that I set out to play these games and give them about prep for no reason what do I have to I mean what do I have to gain from it apart from maybe learning how she's just here probably I couldn't be found from the truth I want every Sim to succeed in the best state possible a little bit of a stutter there I think that's just because of the um the cast coming together you know some pretty much Max Graphics here with 20 I think five cars on the field here which is the max amount of liveries oh nice out of there just just sit on the rear tires up the corner waiting for the car to grip up that's awesome an awesome feeling it feels great this is what I'm using the r21 for moza and honestly all I've done is turn the wheel on that's not I thought when he made any adjustments it feels great I need to get by these guys oh my God it's so hard to pass though [Music] we're on our own a little bit the front I think there's some cars in front of us I have no idea what place I'm in but that's sort of part of the fun for me in these little videos can I get out of here get a good run right I need to hit the I need to hit the key come on damn every time fifth gear doesn't go in why does it go in maybe I've got to just clutch in and flat shift instead I'm trying to replicate what it would be to Oh okay that's apparently a track limit all right well good to know [Music] welcome to uh Austria F1 simulator 1200 trap limits violations or we write cool bow to be caught up in though the only thing that stopped me really is my inability to get into gear on the straights because the guys just drive right by me again oh [Music] that's sideways action there man right okay here's the one here we go [Music] and this is still there nice move made all it took was just trying to get rid of that skill issue that I had there so trying to miss again to me be careful man I think there's someone running into the pit lane exit it's very very strict there as it should be um I need to make sure I'm stopping doing that now I'm free I can sort of try and stretch the legs a little bit here try and catch the cards in front look at this I mean apart from me missing a shift every 10 seconds it's just so much fun to try and just navigate these streets around it in a car with all this power a little bit of Arrow as well every time oh it must be a reason for that somewhere oh God probably didn't delete my documents while we were something easy easy so we are catching the cards in front how much how many laps we have left I think this is coming onto the last lap now all right here we go come on we actually got into fifth gear can we chase them down [Music] one more lap come on can we do a good lap I love the balance of the rear tires and the things on a nice Edge on the throttle it's very very satisfying to drive out there as well just every little moment is just controlled by the throttle it's almost like driving that uh that Mustang I drove Alex brundle feels like you just steer it on the front of course it's an aero car there's no it's got a lot of mechanical grip but I just love that you just sit there from here to grip very very satisfying to get right I'm moving I'm going to catch the cards in front of someone give it a go third fourth fifth no this has been in this car if I've bitten fifth gear not allowed no enthusiastic on the rear tires there I think we didn't get away with it but I think that's our last lap there it is yeah race over a vastly improved water Mobility to experience vastly improved that's the first time I've made one of these videos and come away of thinking yeah that's better now and I'm glad I'm glad for the guys at racer and I'm glad for the guys who like this game and finally some progress has been made and they found the issue that's been haunting them since I don't know how long it's been years and maybe now you know things will start to get a bit better and uh people can be kinder to whichever in the community now that the frustration of the uh Tim not being maybe what people expected is now starting to get rectified somewhat but I would love to hear what you guys think of amf2 in his current state you know bear in mind I approach these things as a guy that likes a healthy mix of realism with a healthy mix of immersion for me AMS 2 before did the latter really well for the former not so well now around here in this circuit that was great I'm going to drive some more of that off camera I really thoroughly enjoyed that that's the first time I've had that experience the ams2 World Cup away and thought yeah you know what I'm gonna do some more laps good so yeah I'm genuinely glad that amf2 is moving in a better Direction and um hopefully now we can see a better relationship between the developers and you know people who are making content with this game I think I can speak for everyone in the Sim community and say that we want as many good Sims as possible ams2 with this update it's making a good step to being one of those good Sims in my eyes I know you guys have different opinions but that's the amazing thing about uh discussion and about opinion we can have those differing opinions and still get on hopefully anyway hope you enjoyed the video a massive thank you as always to my channel members and my patrons as well here they are the beautiful people for supporting this content and let me go out there in the real world and do the thing I love most which is get behind a wheel of a race car you guys are amazing and I couldn't I couldn't be here about you take care had an awesome day see you all next time foreign [Music]
