Easy Automobilista 2 modding guide

[@richard_noggin06]

Haven't booted the game up yet to test it, but your explanation and run through helped me get through this much easier than anyone else's. I'm brand new to computer modding and such so it helps a lot, thanks!

[@SimRacingJason]

Thanks mate and I have just used the very steps shown in this video to add the new DTMs to AMS2 so you should be good to go when you next fire up AMS2.

[@richard_noggin06]

@@SimRacingJason I hooked it all up a little after this, worked like a charm!

[@SimRacingJason]

Nice one glad it all worked ok.

[@kevin_m]

Great tutorial Jason! Bonus was the shot of the Clio going into tripod mode briefly through Cascades. 😊

[@SimRacingJason]

Thanks and there was no way I was going to miss the opportunity to show off a Clio cocking a wheel 👊

[@Sweatydave1]

Great info mate…I’m gonna have to do it now just for the Clio at Oulton and Brands😂👍

[@SimRacingJason]

Cheers mate I hope it helps you get behind the wheel of the Clio as quick as possible 👍

[@RobJones262]

Loving this one, cheers mate!

[@SimRacingJason]

Thanks mate

[@carlgray6764]

nicely put ... nice and simple! ... sometimes although it might be 'easy' ... without an idiots guide it often leads to much hair pulling ... i have been for many years bald ! lol

[@SimRacingJason]

Thank you I appreciate that feedback and I am often in the same boat needed things explained in a simple step by step manner and that’s what I tried to do in this video mate.

[@Fred_Bassett]

Fantastic video and so good to see that the latest version of Content Manager works like this. I just reinstalled some of my Thunderflash mods and the VRC Auriel but yep, I have an issue. (I don't expect you to have an answer on this) but as the mod installs, the game crashes back to the desktop. I noticed that CM pulled my old Thunderflash mods into it automatically and that may be the reason. I'll need to play with it and see.

[@SimRacingJason]

Thanks mate i appreciate that and thank you for the work you do bringing new content for us to enjoy into AMS2. I am not that technically minded so cant be of much help apart from the basics ! I am waiting to seeing what happens when AMS2 v1.6 drops and what impact that has on both CM and the mods. I don't want to go without my JGTC cars !

[@shfd3832]

thank u very much man .today i am frustated why mods not working,then after searching internet,i found ur video and correct my mistake by installing contentmanager in ams2 root folder

[@SimRacingJason]

Thanks mate and I am glad the video helped you solve your issue.

[@GDUBMX]

Lots of great mods for ams2, I have a ford fusion nascar which it awesome fun. Side note Jason, you should ditch the new thumbnail idea as everyone uses that and just copies each other. I follow you because you are unique keep doing your own thing mate and please for the love of mankind don't do those fake shocked reaction thumbnails 🤣🤣. Keep it up mate, see you on track

[@SimRacingJason]

Mate thank you for that it’s really appreciated and yes I was close to crossing that thumbnail line with this one but stuck me on it as I just wasn’t sure what else to fill the space up with 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TheKing-vb2bw]

Hello! Great channel! I just have a question- How to get engine sounds to work? I can get everything else working properly except engine sounds on mod cars. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! And great channel!

[@SimRacingJason]

The sound issue maybe due to a new AMS2 build which can sometimes break mods. I would keep an eye on the Thunder Flash website, listed in the description, as he often updates this site with any issues with mods after new builds and quickly issues fixes to his mods so they work again.

[@taxi615]

Do you still boot as you would before CM is installed? Will this work if your on the beta version or just the normal one? Thanks

[@SimRacingJason]

@@taxi615 yes you do still run AMS2 as per normal using the original launcher as for the question about will it work on the beta version I don’t know as I haven’t tried it myself. Sorry.

[@taxi615]

@@SimRacingJason perfect thanks this was simple to install

[@SimRacingJason]

@@taxi615 Thanks for letting me know it all worked out ok for you mate, now go and enjoy all those mods !

[@oldhaws8009]

I just downloaded the California track mod and it looks like Minecraft😮 the trees are giant white pixels..is this broken?

[@SimRacingJason]

As with all modding there can be the odd issue with graphics or physics. All I can add is that make sure you have the latest version of the content manager app and the latest version of the track and try reinstalling both to see if that’s helps.

[@josemorelli8170]

Seems like engine sounds disappear in non-official mods. Can you confirm that? I've installed IndyCar mod and engine sounds disappear. Is there any way to correct that?

[@SimRacingJason]

I believe it’s a game of keep up as each time Reiza update the sim the modding teams need to update their mods and as such they can be a bit of lag and times when mods may not work correctly and sound issues seems to be the major issues with each update. I am not able to double check this at the moment as I can’t get on my rig for a bit but your best bet is to keep checking the places you get your mods from to see if there any updates available.

[@puremad1]

The only one to actually show the route file destination...great... but for me, no mater where I put it, it gives me a msg of "cannot find the game directory" its getting quite annoying. I have 2 drives for games 1 hdd and 1 ssd... does this need to go where STEAM is installed directly too or not , as AMS2 is on ssd which steam is not, it just reads from it, from another drive. confused yet ? ha

[@SimRacingJason]

Thanks mate and this app needs to be installed into the root AMS2 folder no matter where that is on your system, I am just lazy and all my sims from Steam are just in their default folder.

[@puremad1]

@SimRigRacing Actually, this doesn't need to go in the AMS2 sub file... I couldn't get it to work at all... I've since been told to install it to C: drive an on desktop (Steam and all the items are not installed on C) AND it works perfectly...!!! Maybe just down to not having Steam in C: caused me issues ?? Happy days

[@SimRacingJason]

@@puremad1 mate thanks for the update on how to get this app working if you have this sim installed in a different location from the default location, it will be a great help to those in the same position.

[@oldhaws8009]

wait why isnt the content manager free?? I dont see any free option?

[@SimRacingJason]

Mate just use the link to the Over Take website in the description and you will find Content manager app which is free to use with the option to donate to the creator if you want to.

[@glutenfreesr9858]

AMS 2 mods done right !

[@trevharris134]

I cannot download any mods, got cm, go to thunder flash, click on the mod, takes me to click to download, do that, starts downloading then at the end it says failed network issue, any help

[@SimRacingJason]

I double checked via the Crome browser and did not encounter an issues. Might be worth refreshing the page, clearing out cookies or try another browser to see if that helps mate.

[@mtbadventures9389]

my content manager won't work it gives error and says the mod is a directory or something and I tried couple mods

[@SimRacingJason]

It may well be an issue with a recent AMS2 update causing mods and modding software to not work correctly. It’s always worth double checking you have the latest version of the modding software and mods. Although with v1.6 of AMS2 on the horizon the devs of mods maybe be waiting to see what this new build breaks and wait to release any updates until after it lands, so it might be a bit of a waiting game for the time being.

[@Honir4]

i just get folder not found i did install it on ams 2 folder.. idk

[@SimRacingJason]

Please make sure you have the latest version of the AMS2 content manager app and then try reinstalling the app and as long as it’s in the AMS2 root folder you should be good to go mate. I had this the first time I installed the app and I found it was because it wasn’t in the root folder for AMS2 but it’s been fine since.

[@Quick420ful]

Im looking for Xela1's mods any help?

[@SimRacingJason]

They used to available via his Discord group but it seems to no longer be live and after a bit of looking around i was unable to find them anywhere else, sorry.

[@meecob]

You ok mate ? Long time no see. Hope everything is well ❤️‍🩹

[@SimRacingJason]

Mate if it’s not been my health then it’s been the wife’s just recently but we are all on the mend so watch out as I will be back mate, thanks for checking in it’s appreciated. 👍

[@meecob]

@@SimRacingJason no worries mate.
