How to make AMS 2 look even better!!

[@fan2hd277]

You should also state that the settings depend on how good your monitor is at reproducing colors. Most gaming monitors or TV’s are too bright and have bad color accuracy. Before doing that you should calibrate your display first!

Nice point - pinned!

@@Ben_LaBroca I get a huge fps drop when I use the nvidia filters with iracing on my triple 1440p setup. Did you find you got a fps drop using the filter on AMS2?

[@michaelenright3597]

@@richdudecamaro I was going to say similar. I have tried NVidia filters before in AMS2, and like you get in iRacing, I got quite a hit to my fps in AMS2.

[@Ben_LaBroca]

@@richdudecamaro hey buddy - I haven’t noticed one to be honest! I don’t have the beefiest machine but I also don’t run ams 2 maxed out

[@davidenativo]

Finally a useful guide that taught me something I didn't know, thanks!

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Ah, glad it helped mate!

[@barstoolpreacher7851]

I find that ams 2 is already much sharper than a lot of racing game for example acc which looks fuzzy in appearance which isn't acceptable in games today, many racing games from a decade ago seem much easier to look at than modern games especially those with the same engine as acc.

[@mh7711]

Available for VR, too?

[@Knocka91]

Another informative video. Thanks.

[@Slakass55]

Odd, I have the latest version of the nvidia driver and the alt F3 doesn't do anything. Then again I always bypass the Experience app. Anyone knows if this app is necessary in order to get these additional overlay settings?

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Ah hey buddy - yes I think you may need to check that it’s activated on experience!

[@Slakass55]

​@@Ben_LaBroca Just installed the latest driver for my card and added Experience. It then became obvious why I never tried this app in the past: it requires you to create an account and log in to Nvidia for this to work. No thanks.

[@samcope4265]

Even though I have enabled this for in game it when I try this is it doesn’t give me the amount of options, I had the same issue with iracing

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Ah sorry to hear that Sam - if I come across a possible fix I’ll reply to this comment.

[@schollmanuel]

Great tip thanks

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Glad it was helpful buddy!

[@CaptainCrunch99]

I find myself wondering why Reiza doesn’t just give us the same or similar controls in game?

[@XfarglesX]

why spend dev money on that when they have a racing simulator to work on

[@mh7711]

especially for VR... I wish they will bring this into the game

[@michelegiammarroni6748]

Does that work in VR?

[@glinx1]

Can you post better pics of the settings? Kind of hard to read everything off the video

[@andrewlacey9440]

I've just tried this. I hit Alt plus F3 and it says the game doesn't support this.

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Oh weird! Maybe a setting to turn on in the nvidia experience menus?

[@nexus888]

Really hope 1.6 improve the graphics. I think the current graphics are ok with the cockpit view but external views are pretty bad

[@fabiosathler4658]

Simply sensational. Game was much more beautiful and realistic.

[@MassivaMusic]

Would this also work in VR? As reshade does not. Great stuff btw!

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Ah thank you mate - unfortunately I don’t think it does work in VR. Sorry to hear reshade doesn’t either!

[@justpostedagain]

I thought vrtoolkit gave you reshade in VR, as of a few months ago. Haven't tried it myself. Might do that now, actually...

[@BistoKid]

@@Ben_LaBrocaThat’s a shame was hoping for a simple fix. I think it’s possible using OpenXR for VR but I am on Quest 2 and would have to use Virtual Desktop which I struggle with due to a poor router.

[@mh7711]

​@@BistoKidyes with OpenXR you can change contrast, black level, colour

[@Testdriver1971]

the problem is with every new nvidia driver all settings are gone. Also it hits performance significant

[@michaelenright3597]

I would have to agree with you here. Quite significant performance drop indeed. Unless you have a 4090 or similar.😁

[@SM7THY]

will this work in VR or are there other settings I should be using?

[@Ben_LaBroca]

I don't run it buddy but I believe it won't apply to VR. You might need to look into Reshade, but I'm very much a VR noob so worth a search on the Reiza forums!

[@SM7THY]

@@Ben_LaBroca thanks!!! Keep up the great content!!!!

[@mh7711]

only if using OpenXR, you have sliders to change those things

[@RTPJu]

Just diminish some yellow and color saturation. That color balancing options should be ingame

[@AllocDK]

You should also state that this does not work for VR

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Yeah I’m not a VR user so didn’t realise that - will pop a comment in explaining that.

[@mh7711]

only with OpenXR it is possible within the OpenXR menu ingame

[@vrj0]

Quick and good :)

[@TheRoadrunner11]

How about that. I ask you how you did it in a comment, and you make a whole video about it 😂🎉 Unfortunately I have AMD. Need to check if there is such a possibility for AMD users. Thanks for the video Ben :)

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Haha as if by magic! Have a look on the Reiza forums re reshaders buddy - that might work for you!

[@TheRoadrunner11]

@@Ben_LaBroca Cheers mate! Will check it out.

[@davannagle450]

An Oled will fix allot of those darkness issues as the blacks are true blacks but these tips are a good workaround nevertheless.

[@ianknight2053]

I have always disliked the appearance of trees in AMS2. They certainly look improved after your tweaks.

[@HoriaM29]

They turned AMS2 into the iRacing piss filter 😭

[@Dreadtothink]

The madness engine does have this weird cartoony aesthetic that can’t seem to get rid of. Yet

[@x-vector7245]

Seems very much to be a minority opinion - I'm in that minority group. To "cartoony" I'd add "artificial/plastic", it's something I haven't been able to rectify with any self-made or downloaded Reshade preset. The examples shown in this video aren't the solution either IMO, the desaturated colours (new settings) are anything but realistic and blooming up the picture (subtle settings) also doesn't do it for me.

[@akunin417]

Why does it look so washed out? Cartoony if you ask me

[@Ben_LaBroca]

😂 You've been hacked by Jasper!

[@Khosumi]

Because calibrating colours to be true to life across any and all monitors is an uphill battle due to the amount of different display panels technologies, build quality and a whole bunch of other variables that makes 2 different monitors look different on the same image. With a neutral colour tone it's basically left to the users to tweak the display to their liking.

[@fluxahelmi]

How to make AMS 2 look even better??? wrong title... should say: How to make AMS 2 look even different!!!! not better. it's personal taste. It's like plastic surgery.... not more beautiful, more different 😊😊

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Haha the world of KZbin titles made me do it! 😂

[@fluxahelmi]

@@Ben_LaBroca 😂👍

[@ddp3000]

On the other hand I 've increased saturation to 125% because I don't want reality. I want something better than reality.

[@gsam_dad5540]

So you want to make AMS2 look like R Factor 2? Dear me this is a strange one, your version looks terrible and you clearly blur standard graphics to make your (weak, odd) point.....poor content worthy only of certain YT AMS2 haters, shame on you....unsubscribed

[@Slakass55]

Really? This made you unsub? K, lets keep working on that new years resolution, which in your case it hopefully means more visits to the therapist.

[@Ary634]

Vanilla looks better to me.
