- While it's nothing new, I have noticed a lot of people aren't aware of the amazing AMS2 Content Manager by Paoloambrosio on Race Department. It really is as simple as drag and dropping in your downloaded mods!

Are there any other AMS2 modders I should know about?
Thanks for uploading this I am useless at doing anything on the pc but this as helped me out I would see clips on ams2 and people using mods but seemed to complicated to mess about downloading this downloading that to get it all working but following your clip was a breeze now I have the full btcc liveries and drivers for the mini championships. Can't thank you enough made ams2 a totally different experience. Thanks again have a great day mate cheers
Awesome thanks :) really glad to hear that!
Thanks Adam! Something to find time to try out. Great tutorial. 😊
Thanks :)
This is good to know, I'll be getting myself back into sim racing soon.
Great video mate.... Very well done. Cant wait to try this out. 👍🏻
Cheers :) and Thunderflash has already updated his mods for 1.5.5
Great explanation Adam. Happy new year fella
Cheers mate, happy new year!
well done on the simple yet informative video...... I think you should do more videos around this subject, and AMS2 has to be the easiest sim to set up a online lobby using modded cars try it and you ]will be shocked at how easy it is. P.S you gained yourself a new SUB keep up the good work.
Thanks! Yeah I haven't tried any online lobbies with mods actually, good idea
I enjoyed this video! Your narration is perfect! Man, I'd honestly pay you to read me some bedtime stories 😂
LOL thank you :)
some of theses mod tracks are amazing..Willow, Rouen, Sonoma, Sugo...all great!!!
Nice one, Adam. I didn't know about any of this.
Awesome, served its purpose then :)
Very simple & very informative guide thank you. Had to give you a like & subscribe ❤
Thank you!
Use it for a while and works like a charm.
Did not know about this, thanks! Have to give it a go.
Excellent, video not wasted lol :)
Same here - did not know. This is the first video I have seen on content manager for AMS2. Thanks to the video review @AdamsSimPorium
Easy as grabbing a slice of pizza, thank you. I need most of the cars and tracks from PC2 and I'll be ecstatic. The tracks in AMS2 have the same names, but different layouts like Monza driving me crazy. I downloaded Bannochrae and is a PC2 direct and shows as MOD, It would be nice if the cars did the same. Thanks again
I love AMS2 & VR!.... Just don't tell GamerMuscle! 🤣
Lol, I wouldn't dare ;)
Anyone bothers with GM anymore? I would have thought he'd be irrelevant by now. Generally speaking the inverse to whatever he says is correct, so it's reassuring to hear he doesn't like it 🤪
Thank you for making this video, really easy to follow and to replicate the steps needed.
I’ve now discovered the Brno circuit and would like to do a race video from there featuring the mod circuit.
I’d like to link to this video for referencing how to be able to get it up and running. Would that be ok with you?
Thanks again
Andy
Hi, thanks glad it helped. Yes of course feel free to link it, the more it helps anyone and promotes modding the better !
Ams 2 could have alot of longevity if mods are easier to install. I haven't tried any yet because iam not very good at installing files. Great video mate. I've liked and subscribed!
Cheers mate, it's worth giving it a go now it's just drag and drop :)
I haven't tried any mods yet mainly because most of them are just from pc2. This sim will have alot more longevity if we can mod it easily.
Try them, they aren't just straight ports from PC2.
This I'd brill thank you. I'm wanting some road cars on amsw
try the Brabham hypercar...turn off/down tc abs abs and strap in for one of the best cars in the game. i drive it as a manual just for extra fun !!!!
Exactly, I generally do prefer older h pattern road cars.
@@rod2308 Hmm, not sure I've tried that one yet, will try it thanks!
Brilliant.
Dumb question: Mods will work online too? It work with all versions of AMS2? I wonder if I can safety update the game and keep mods working
VR in AMS2 looks fantastic, for me much better than in ACC VR
Absolutely! We can only hope AC2 will run as good as AMS2.
Does this video apply to the new Indy car mod as well? I’m confused because I saw another video of someone installing it through JSGME and having to edit XML files. 😅 thanks
Should work for all really yes, the JSGME is the old way
Hey Adam I was wondering what difference would be between crystal and reverb g2 and if it would justify the upgrade cost. Cheers
Crystal is better visually, higher PPD and I feel slightly better FOV, and better black levels, but of course at a high cost. If I was given both, I'd absolutely choose the Crystal, and because I not exactly financially sensible when it comes to VR, I'd still choose the Crystal if I was buying either lol. It's very subjective if the extra cost is worth it to you. If you want the best visuals, it's the Crystal, plus you can upgrade to base station tracking in future too. You could always wait a little longer, if the Quest 3 has the Pro lenses it may be worth considering, and hope for more news on the Somnium soon (though that will be even more expensive), and of course there's the Bigscreen.
MY very personal opinion is that the Crystal is a nice upgrade to the G2, but you may upgrade then disagree and blame me lol. So my vote is yes, but check out other reviews too, which I'm sure you're no doubt doing.
Thx for video I'm only new to ams2 that helps greatly. 1. So the mod cars say from PC2 do they slot into corresponding series in ams2 and race against ams2 cars no problem ? 2. what about the ams2 cars on pcs tracks how does AI act ?
Hey glad it helps. Mod cars get separate series in AMS2, they aren't mixed together with default cars. They seem to run just fine on the mod tracks too, unless the recent 1.5.3 update changed that at all. I can't try now, waiting for a pedal part :(
dropped u a sub mate , question on willow springs why do i always get invalid lap going down the main straight?
Cheers! No idea why that happens though, sorry. I've had a broken brake pedal so not even been able to enjoy 1.5.3 yet! Maybe drop a message to the Project Cars Modding Team.
I installed the CM, two tracks (Rouen and Mojave), and a Mazda RX-7. Works seamlessly. The problem, though, is that in hotlap mode, the PC2 tracks invalidate at the beginning of every lap, as if I've gone off in the last sector. ("Current and next lap will not count," or words to that effect.) In practice/training mode, the timing works fine. Odd.
Did you ever solve this?
For some reason I am getting a Black Listed warning for the second link in your description, Project Cars Modding Team. AVG controls my fire wall, is it just being paranoid?
Okay, I added an exception in the AVG interface and I can access it now.
@@OlderGamersPerspective Good stuff, was about to reply saying it sounds like an AVG issue :)
hey Adam it said i have to install net core to run ams 2 cm but it doesn't want to run after i installed .net do you know maybe why
Not sure sorry, only thing I can suggest is run as admin, which you have probably tried already.
Was hoping to see how you actually install CM especially with respect to the Net 6.0 Runtime file that is needed.
I didn't install anything, I must've had that installed I guess. I only downloaded CM and ran it, no install.
Can any one help me please…. When I drag and drop any car file pack out of the Thunderfalsh mod pack into CM it installs ok but nothing shows up different in game ?? Am I doing something wrong
Late reply sorry, did you get it figured out?
wish it worked for me, i cant drag and drop anything into content manager
Strange, you're not unzipping them first right? Also try running CM as admin if not already, just guesses really. Otherwise post on the mod page at RD and hopefully someone can help you out.
I can’t seem to find how to download this , I’ve gone onto race department and then found ams2 content manager , but there doesn’t seem to be a link to download it!
Maybe you have to be registered, it's free if you aren't already.
you have to be registered
@@QUICKLAPS I am!
Please help... I can't drag and drop the downloaded mods into content manager. Every time I try to drag and drop them, I get a circular stop sign. What am I doing wrong?
Are just dragging the zipped file in? Don't unzip them
@@AdamsSIMporium yes the zip file... but it is not letting me.
Sadly reports on Steam is that mod car engine sounds no longer work since this week's 1.5.5 update, the one that includes the Le Mans DLC. They're saying that the people that created these mods will need to tweak them in order for the sound to work with this major new update. Hopefully a solution or workaround can be found, as I doubt that every one of these fabulous mods will be reworked by their creators.
Thunderflash has updated all his which fixes sound issues he says :)
@@AdamsSIMporium Correct, I finally managed to install them and they indeed do work. Only one small issue with a 3.5L Renault (that resembles a F1 car) has an odd sound when revying the engine. Totally can live with it. All other cars work great. I highly recommend anyone that has AMS2 to try these free mods out. Including all the great tracks.
Hey Adam I’m really new to sim racing. I just need little bit more help. I downloaded the AMS2 CM but I’m completely lost how to get the MODS can you please help
Sure, so first go to the Project Cars Modding Team link in the description. At the top of that page you have "DOWNLOADS - AUTOMOBILISTA 2" for cars, and "AMS2 TRACKS" for the tracks. Find what you want and click download. Once downloaded, drag in to AMS2 CM and click apply. Remember to download the Trees Fix at top of tracks list.
The second link, Automobilista 2 - Modding, click on "# Download Folder #", then Thunderflash mods, and you will see all his car packs available too.
@@AdamsSIMporium thanks a lot Adam will do.
I couldn’t get the Ferrari F40 to work..game keeps crashing..are you on v1.5?
Yes, but perhaps an incremental update has broken it? I shall have to try and see.
Will this work with the new update? Thanks for posting.
Well it currently works. I guess we have to wait and see with every update but I'm sure I remember Reiza saying something about supporting mods and trying not to break them with updates.
how on earth do you get AMS 2 Content manager to run i keep getting game directory not found trued everything nothing working
Get it resolved? Not sure why it would do that.
Same.
Thanks for that info.
Hi, I've followed your guide and it was very easy thanks, but there is a problem I'm now getting when trying to drop mods into folder, after applying i get the message....error: startindex cannot be larger than length of string. (parameter 'startindex') 😒😒 can you help me? I'm not knowledgeable on computers.
Hi, I don't know why that is happening. Have you tried removing last mod you added? Maybe one has a long file name? Otherwise post on Racedepartment on the content manager page. Sorry I can't be of any help.
@AdamsSimPorium I will try to remove the first mod,
@AdamsSimPorium yep, it worked, I think I downloaded an old version car,
@@bricktop2090 Awesome :)
We need a mod that changes the physics to something that makes sense
I installed some mods, but there was no sound
That's strange, is it sorted now? Maybe an update broke the mods at the time or something.
Every Car I modded into the game, has no engine sound..Someone with the same problem?
Late reply sorry, sorted now? Maybe an update broke mods at the time.
But you have to pay for race department before you can get these mods ?
Nope, all free :) You don't need premium or whatever to download mods.
it don't work for me mate the download caption that's on your screen does not appear on mine..
@@andrewcrawford2093 Have you registered? Maybe you need to, it's free.
thank for ya help
Im more into custom race tracks like Asseto corsa. Too bad this game don't have it
Are there any Japanese Togue tracks available?
Not as far as a I know unfortunately.
@@AdamsSIMporium thanks for your reply 🐣
cars wont show up for me
Late reply sorry, did you get it sorted out?
uninstalling all mods just to reinstall them again for one or two new ones feel stupid...
Slight annoyance yes, but if it's the only way that works then fair enough, and requires zero faffing.
Hi, I just installed California Highway and Azure Coast mods, but the scenery looks all blocky and white. Is that because the mods are not compatible with my version of the game, maybe ? any ideas ?
You need to install the PC2 Trees Fix too, that sorts all that out.
@@AdamsSIMporium i completely missed that. Thanks a lot, it works fine now.
