A review of the latest AMS2 DLCs and V1.5.5 updates. Let me what you are looking forward to on this and future DLCs and any suggestions for future content. Questions and feedback, stick them down below.
This is a perfect information video about all the detalis concerning whats coming up in AMS2 a full service, that leaves the spectators without any question left, what an incredibly well made work!! Thank you!!
Reiza nailed it again. The nice thing at AMS 2 is, that all original cars are fully functional and look and feel fantastic. In my opinion the simulator no. 1 at the moment. They should overhaul the replay system…
Hello, how are you? I'm part of the Reiza team, I work with textures, etc.. I also have some insights about replays, could you give a detailed explanation about what you mentioned about the replay system? I want to know if it's the same perception I have. Thank you very much in advance and Happy New Year!
@@JOTAF1DF there's a lack of options in replay mode as not having the possibility to select the exact moment of the replay that you want, not be able to see the entire practice session, apart from that, congratulations for the nice job
@@JOTAF1DF Hi. Happy New Year to you and the entire Reiza team. The problem with repetitions are: 1. These are too short for training sessions. At least one, preferably two complete laps should be recorded. 2. More importantly: It should be possible to jump directly to points in time, like in all other current sims. I like analyzing my laps but that's really no fun with AMS2. Everything else about AMS2 is so good that it's my favorite simulator. And I have them all (AC, ACC, iRacing, RF2, RRR, ...). Please, please, please overhaul the replay system.
@@JOTAF1DF Sorry to hijack this, but I think a great QoL feature would be the possibility to change the distance and position of tracklimit and other warning / info panels for VR users. My eyes always hurt when one of these comes up ^^ Also ontopic: Freecam is wonky / ctl+k didnt really work for some time / moves with the car. Anyway love this sim, great to see playernumber records being beaten update by update. This is only going to get better 😍
Oh this is incredible, I really didn’t expect LMDh cars in this update. That being said it does make the lack of a Ferrari licence somewhat more conspicuous.
Great in detail video mate top job. One critique (Anal as I am) HUD stands for Heads Up Display and is pronounced HUD as in udders not Hood as in hoods (sorry I know this is not important :-)
AMS2 is Perfect but there is one part Missing wich is the Multiplayer they should alteast release a dediacted server so other Services like LFM can Manage the Servers etc
Really good informative video buddy. My shifter paddle on the left hand side of my wheel broke off last night (simagic GTC-C),so I’m having to use auto gears which just feels wrong. Keep up the good vids mate,and happy new year🎉. (Sub’d)
Nice review, almost perfect if you will call it PORSCH_E_ and not Porsch. :) I know that Corvette is spoken Corvett, but a complete Porsche needs the last „e“ 😊
Good question. The driver swap does not add time to a pit stop so… This means during a long race you can add it into the normal pit stop stint. Or… In a shorter race you have two options. 1. Have everything in accelerated wear so every car has a pit stop at shorter number of lap intervals. 2. Pre set up forced number of pit stops.
No, I think AMS2 has depth of content but with S397 involved in Le Mans Ultimate, I expect it will have rF2 quality physics and ffb. I think they are adding a lot of GT cars too. My gut feeling is the title will have strong uptake but it will need a strong multiplayer ranked online system.
Hey there! Been watching your AMS2 coverage for quite some time, and just noticed you're using the Fanatec DD1 as I am... however, I cannot for the life of me get this sim to recognize my wheel and keep it recognized. It's like my profile's .ini file is flashed each time a launch and exit the game. I did manage to get it captured on one session using compatibility mode, but as soon as I came back to it the next day I had nothing. Do you have any recommendations?? I really want to pick up some of the historic content especially...
Thank you! I have lost connection on a few occasions but that is also on other sims. It is normally a driver update required. Your issues sounds like an over write issue. Have you asked the question on the Reiza forum? There are hundreds of users with technical expertise.
@@codeREDsim Thanks for the quick reply! In fact, I haven't.. I do update my fanalab and respective fanatec firmware regularly (just the other day with 455 in fact)... I will owe their forums a visit. It's been ages since I've installed PCARS2, but I've always presumed it to be a Madness engine quirk, as I had no issues with my CSW 2.5... Only when I moved to the DD1 did I forgo playing that game.. Have a good new year!
@@maxwellsoler8676 first thing I would do is figure out what port the DD1 is plugged into by going into device manager to your usb port (usually the last at the bottom of the list then click the plus to expand that list) then unplug your DD1 and see which one disappears. Plug it back in then uninstall it. I would then uninstall fanalab and delete any leftover files. Clean the registry if you know how to if not reinstall Fanalab. Rescan for changes in device manager . I should recognize your DD1. Check the properties of the usb port that was just created to confirm the driver manufacturer. If its not correct reinstall correct driver through Fanalab.
Great release for sure but driver swaps to an Ai not another team member or human needs fixing. They also need to work on bringing grid size for multiplayer upto 50. Struggles beyond 25 really.
Can we change the amount of rendered cars during the race? I race in VR and can happily run 30 cars in daylight, come night the headlights bring it to crawl for fps.
@@codeREDsim Thanks for the reply. That's a pity, will have to have a play at balancing it then with amount of cars. At least now have option to lower amount of cars which is a good thing. Great review.
9:15 actually the "h" on LMDh, means nothing, the cars are just name Le Mans Daytona h, aparebtely the rule makers couldnt come to an agreement to what the "h" would mean
Good question. A rear camera send the image to a screen in the place of a rear view mirror. First image on this link. www.dailysportscar.com/2023/04/26/dscs-daily-notebook-26-04-2023.html
That is what I love about the community!! Well spotted. Yes, I edited out the homologated to the end of 2024. For AMS2 it gets the new light-up number boards and liveries.
What net code? 😉 Night and day compared to iRacing but a lot in limitations on a licence matchmaking system at the moment. But we hope it will come and 💥
I want AMS2 but for me the engine and the graphics are just too old by today's standards. It's the same engine that was used for both Project Cars 1 and 2 and neither of those sims are around anymore. If they move to a newer engine for their next sim (which I suspect will be ages from now) I will no doubt buy into it, fully.
@@codeREDsim My point more so is that you have Assetto 2, RENNSPORT, GTR Revival, and Le Mans Ultimate that hasn't even released yet, and is a sim that is solely dedicated to the full Le Man experience, and not simply an add-on to a current sim. None of these sims are out yet, and they will all utilize new engines that allow for newer technologies in graphics and more. AMS2 won't allow for newer graphical technologies. They're pushing that engine as far as it can go.
I don’t have any personal experience, but I know that people that have commented on previous posts are using a controller successfully and I also using a steam deck.
@@codeREDsim No need to apologise...we just noticed, especially early on ...an unusually low frame rate - not as smooth as you would expect. Seen this once or twice on other footage, especially ACC

Hopefully Sebring and Audi in the near future. I’m always interested in sim gear reviews.
Are you using Reshade or something for some of the in game clips? The colours look really good.
@@Hzuuuu No reshade. Everything is on Ultra.

The new update is FANTASTIC.
I love this game, the devs never stopped working on this!
WELL DONE REIZA!
Awesome fast work buddy! Excited to get into this update!
They have done a great job, and so much more to come in 2024!!
Wow, what a thorough, useful and well-presented and edited overview! A big contrast to the sites that read a changelog out loud. Liked and subscribed.
Thank you. 🙏🏼
finally some proper presets for the championships. looking forward to the packs as well. ams keeps getting better and better. love it
Very good video, highlighting all important updates! Well done!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Perfect Video in super detail that was so good to watch! Thank you man ! Keep it up !
The Le Mans update is fantastic and I can't wait for the historical Le Mans and historical prototype cars.
Dude I can listen to your track narration all day. ASMR almost
Thanks dude 🙌🏼
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Brilliant review!!!
Thank you so much - Huge effort on your behalf.
Thank you very much, I will show my wife. She had a great Christmas whilst I was testing and editing the content. 🤣🤣
nice and informative video, mate. Thumps up👍
sebring in ams2 would be amazing, thanks for the video.. I personally love the Cadillac
Well done.
Best AMS2 video i saw in the last days
Really well made summary, good job :)
Nice video mate! Can't wait til they expand on the AI driver swap feature in 2024
love ur 95 indycar series mate!
Cheers :) @@lollieollie69
Really good presentation! Nice work! Will subscribe! 👌
Thank you very much 👊🏼

Great review. VR night racing really needs a cockpit illumination dimmer though.
Really good video. Thanks for all the info.
Thanks dude. Hold tight, there’s another one coming soon!
Congratulations for a perfect video 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you! 👊🏼

Ferrari soon must beg reiza to be added. Bad look for ferrari not rwiza imo xD
Very informative video. Awesome job and yes, I live and breath AMS2
So good I watched it twice. Well done
Thank you!
I thought things were great with Nordeschleife historic but now this?! Holy crap, Reiza is killing it
Excellent review, thanks a lot 😊
Great review. Subbed
Thank you 👊🏼
Great review!
Another great video Code Red... It's always nice to come here and see something that I somehow missed from the Beta cycle!
I could read the dev log, but seeing things in video is much more exciting!
A great sim that just keeps getting better.
you are doing the best reviews
Thank you, very much appreciated. 🙌🏼
Very Noice !!! Team Kunos will be under pressure from the Reiza team. Awesome, awesome, awesome for sim racing fans.
Thx,so much good info! DL now!!
Amazing review ! Tks!
I hope we see a lot more Lmdh and GTP Acura! More tracks would be nice aswell
You will 😁

Yes, spot on. It would be great if LFM took another serious look at AMS2 as part of their development plan.
It's obviously not perfect.
Superb

God job for Ams2, only problem Cars of mods nothing sound now.
Great video thanks
Still waiting for flasher tho is a must have feature for multi class
Great review! Small comment: his name was Pescarolo. not Pescaro.
Thank you!!
hooray! At last point systems are updated!!!! It was a long time, while 80-ies 90-ies F1 could not be properly simulated in championship mode.
Yes, that was particularly frustrating 😆
One Question for me, it is good to see that we can swap with an AI Teammate now. But can the opponent's do the same. Keyword are AI to AI Driver Swap?

1. Have everything in accelerated wear so every car has a pit stop at shorter number of lap intervals.
2. Pre set up forced number of pit stops.
outstanding job. really apreciate it. thanks a lot. just hope reiza can work on MP. we need something like LFM or how RF2 new competition structure...
100%
Google race craft online for AMS2. Lfmesque service.
would love to see the Sebring road course in Florida, does anyone know if this would be in release pack 2 ?
I don’t know but would make sense at the LMDh car are in the IMSA series.
I hope for Sebring and the 9X8 🙏
nice video
Does this make the upcoming Lemans Ultimate by S397 completely unnecessary? Or will Race Control give LU a boost that AMS2 doesn't have?
No, I think AMS2 has depth of content but with S397 involved in Le Mans Ultimate, I expect it will have rF2 quality physics and ffb. I think they are adding a lot of GT cars too.
My gut feeling is the title will have strong uptake but it will need a strong multiplayer ranked online system.

Nice update but the replay system needs much improvement!
It does. However you do know there are replay camera buttons that offer a slight improvement.
Does anyone know when this "free" period ends and what the pricing will be for this content?
Not sure on the price or when the free period ends, but maybe the cost of a couple of coffees maybe…
Great release for sure but driver swaps to an Ai not another team member or human needs fixing. They also need to work on bringing grid size for multiplayer upto 50. Struggles beyond 25 really.

They have a comprehensive Endurance Track Pack Prt 2 they are working on so I would expect more cars and possibly the Ferrari.
