The Best Years - IndyCar 1995 at Long Beach - Automobilista 2

  • Опубліковано 30 лип 2024
  • The Long Beach Grand Prix is the most iconic street race in America. Owing itself to tradition, it is a highlight on the IndyCar calendar every year. Automobilista 2 and its "Racin' USA DLC" bring both Long Beach, and my favorite year of IndyCar, 1995, to the sim. A potent combination with a realistic skinpack and AI files, you'll realize just how physical racing a street track can be!

    I had the pleasure of living next to this track for some years. I didn't grow up in the racing culture but always had a fond respect for it. After experiencing my first Grand Prix, watching them lay the barriers for weeks and hearing those engines for hours and hours in April, I became hooked. Even driving on it gave you the feel. If you are in Long Beach in March or April, head to the Pike to experience for yourself.

    It's kinda funny, earlier was watching the IMSA qualifying replay video on the IMSA youtube channel and it occurred to me that someone could lose control and easily drive up into the flowers and fountain. I don't know why I never thought of that before in all of the times I've watched racing there. So I left a comment about that and IMSA replied that it had just happened in race 1 of the Porsche Carrera Cup race. One car got up into the flowers, there is a tire wall right in front of the fountain though.

    • @ItsAVolcano

    Great stuff as always, Jake! Love your historical approach and how you build it up.
    Having damage on at Long Beach is the right way to go. Only thus proper respect for the track and genuine fear of the walls are induced.
    Regarding your issues with the AI not pitting correctly, I have found that it mainly depends on the settings. Putting just "Mandatory Pitstop" on normally doesn't work but instead leads to the AI pitting on the penultimate lap or not at all nonsense. However, putting "mandatory" off and instead setting "Tyre Wear" and "Fuel Consumption" to the correct relative values matching your racing distance, e.g. 3x for a third of the real distance, leads to very good results. I am doing this with my 50 % 2000 CART Custom Championship, and so far, it's been great, the AI uses different pit stop strategies and comes in at reasonable times.

      @markc3456 2 роки тому

      Fuel-wise, about 1 1/3 tanks of fuel always works well for me in terms of AI pit strategies, which yields about 45-50 minutes for these cars. Longer than that, weird things start happening.

    • @theodoreschultz4685
      @theodoreschultz4685 2 роки тому

      @@GPLaps What I have found is that the issue is not related to the AI but actually the cars. The DPI for example can only hold 76L worth of fuel and are pretty fuel inefficient where as the GT3 or GTE can hold 100-130L. So depending on how high you have the fuel usage set, and the circuit, the DPI may have to pit every 4-5 laps just for fuel.

    Your comments and the way you montage the videos makes me get on the edge of the seat every time. You definitely would do really well as a real life IndyCar commentator and I’m not kidding about this.
    This is the ultimate combination to learn the best car control. 900 bhp without any electronic assists on a bumpy track. Really satisfying when you get it right 😍
    Last few months some new people have been working dedicated on the tire -and physics model. Some ongoing issues have been ironed out and you can really feel the difference. All cars will be revisited by these guys. It just got so much better, I love it
    9:37 this going to the left is a thing with the Al in AMS2. They start to notice you once you get along side them completely, they should make room for you get the front wing alongside their rear wing. It’s like they don’t look in the mirrors, they should notice us way sooner. ACC does that really good.

    Dude, you can’t call it 1995, if you run the newer post 2000 track layout…I mean, run the proper track layout of 1995, to call it 1995 LBGP!

      Yeah, that's a problem with Automobalista 2. There is no 1995 layout and no way to mod one in.

    Anyone else annoyed by the track layout being wrong?

      As the track was released last year as a 2021 version of the track is not wrong and it is a very good representation of the 2021 layout.
