    @nicklibby3784 3 місяці тому

    To be fair, I think that the Group C cars (and older 70s, 80s, early 90s cars) are supposed to be more slippery.
    These cars had nowhere near as good tires as we did today. Heck, try driving the 70s F1s in rfactor 2, AC, or iRacing, any sim basically. And you'll feel that the car is really quite slidey compared to new cars.
    Tire technology made massive leaps in the 90s and especially 2000s-2010s specifically. I love to go on Rfactor 2 and or AC to drive through the v10 f1 cars (from 90s to 2005). You can feel a solid step up in tire performance from 1990 to 1993/1994 then a huge leap to 1997, then in 1998 F1 introduced grooved tires to slow the cars down (but it didnt really work) by around 2002/2003/2004 you feel like you have sooo much grip despite still having that understeery characteristic of groived tires. Then once you get to 2009-2013 (when slicks came back) it feels like a modern race car with so much more potential for speed - held back only by F1 regulations limiting horsepower & aero complexity.
    Anyway....I think AMS 2 really shines with its vintage cars, like 70s F1, 80s F1 and even 90s F1 to an extent. The slideyness nature of these older cars with primitive tire technology lends itself well to ams2 and they do not feel far off at all from Rfactor 2 or AC. Also just in general ams 2 does pretty good with high downforce prototypes more than anything else I think.
    I'd love to see Reiza lean into this, their strength. Like do a vintage le mans pack, or lmp900 pack (or expand gt1), and focus on some old classes from the 70s & 80s with wild aero kits like group 4, group 5, group 6 etc. these cars were actually in project cars 2 and some have been ported to AC by modders, but they arent on par with Reizas quality at all (no offence to thundeflash the modder, you have some great mods, just not feeling all of them).

    About the sliding, I think I understand why cause I can make it stop when I play AMS2. Its the wheels inertia, after braking the rear wheels are 'light' so to speak and their spin is slightly under the speed youre actually traveling, if you tap the accelerator to re-sync the wheel speed to your actual speed youll find the rear grips everytime and stays solid.
    tl;dr I think the slip ratio in AMS2 is off, and you have to be more aware of wheel speed to actual speed disparity, but once you learn to tap the accelerator after heavy braking to keep the rear wheels synced, it becomes a lot more solid. Its the same physics that cause speed wobble on motorbikes if you get me
    also turn down engine resistance, its huge

    my personal take on AMS2 is that there is something going on with the differential. not only on power, but also on coasting, braking, corner entry. I find that low LSD clutch numbers (I think I use 2 on the Sauber C9) actually fixes all of the "slidey-floaty" behavior. With this setup the cars become much more prone to push understeer and coast gently. I find it much more natural, "realistic" (to me) and reliable.
    And this is valid on all cars I have tried it to.....

    AMS2 is the most immersive sim IMO (especially in VR), has great performance in terms of FPS for good looking graphics, and pretty solid AI (definitely better than AC or even ACC IMO).
    The constant sliding is the one issue that has been plaguing it's physics since the dawn of time, even though it has improved through updates.
    For this summer they have announced another big update with big tyre physics changes across all cars and more physics improvements, so I'm very hopeful for that update.

    yep they r fixing the sliding with the next big patch might be a few cars that will still need work but i think the formula ult gen 2 has the newest of the new physics right now the few that do. British sim drivers have the shifter on the right side, me an American put shifter on left side. when u know u know. a little shifting trick i use turn ur hand to the inside once u get past 2nd thumb down pinkie on top it holds it's weird but when ur going for 4th or 6th the hand knows where to go so much better.

    when using rain/real weather, x10 time/weather accel is the most one should use for good results.
    the amount of rain/track wetness is directly linked to the accel, and default for each slot is 1 hour. so if it's starts to rain and its set to say x60 or sync to race, in a single minute the track could get an hours worth of water, making it unplayable and the AI unpredictable results.
    with x10 the results are very, very good and predictable

    It's been asked by several others, but I'd like to add my request - what FFB file did you go with? I'm using an Asetek Invicta (i.e. good equipment) and would love advice on which FFB is best for high quality direct drives rather than a Logitech G920 or something. BTW, anyone setting up the game on this type of equipment needs to ensure all the assists are off. I just figured out that AMS2 defaults to several on which will TOTALLY screw up the feel of the cars on direct drive wheels.

    Yeah for me AMS 2 and Dirt Rally 2 along with Euro Truck 2 for a relaxing evening, Is the best VR Sim Racing I have found so far, Still early days with VR as well, I also hear that iRacing is meant to be good in VR, If you have not tried AMS 2 in VR, Then you should, Your Monitor of TV won't be used anymore after using either the Quest 2 or 3....

      Nor jokes aside AMS 2 in VR got something extremely addictive about it, A different world from watching yourself on a screen, It is why I am still scratching my head wondering why Pro Sim Racers are still even using triples, And with the straps like the WaveVR Elite battery strap with a 5000mAH battery I can sit there with the Quest on all night, At least 6 hours anyways, Without the elite strap no way, The strap acts as a counter weight see, And it connects at the back, The Quest 3 is meant to be fantastic by the way, I am using the Quest 2, And wish I just payed the extra for the Quest 3, I would get the Big Screen Beyond if I could afford it though, The Quest 3 is meant to be the best for bang for your buck because of the AR part...
      I love the fact that VR is helping people who suffered a stroke gain motor functions back using the Oculus, Also how VR can teach, Educate people to do things they thought they couldn't do, VR can give people the confidence to do what they wants to do by using VR before, VR can even bring education to poor countries, But for Sim Racing, VR has opened up doors creating a new lease of life so to speak, Because when you have tried VR you won't go back to your Monitor, TV companies and monitors will start coming down in price, People will use VR to watch TV now, You can watch TV in private now while people will be people, lo, Panasonic will have to make a pair of TV glasses lol....
