Thank you for using my liveries in AMS2! :) Feel free to have a go when my F1 2024 Skinpack hits version 1.0 in a couple of weeks. :)

[@MarcelKiefer]

Oh these were yours? Amazing stuff man!!

[@SemiSlickRacing]

@@MarcelKiefer yes they are mine :) The 2024 Skinpack will get an update today with the new Ferrari and probably the new Mercedes. The Red Bull should come tomorrow. In a couple of weeks all helmets should also be ready for version 1.0. :)

@@SemiSlickRacing Link for you mod?

[@SemiSlickRacing]

​@@RawadSadeknot sure if I can post links here. You can find them on OverTake, formerly known as RaceDepartment.

Is it the best, certainly not. But it does have it in the game without modding along with a ton of other car types which is pretty damn cool, plus it has the Nordschleife that you can take it on, and they recently added DLC for Le Mans and the LMDh category of cars, specifically the Caddy, the BMW, and the Porsche, along with newer GT3 cars (McLaren 720s Evo, Merc 2020 GT3 Evo, Porsche 992 GT3, and BMW M4). You do have to buy the track and cars separately but if you like the game it's worth it IMO. I will say though my recommendation is to go into game options > camera > movement and set basically everything off. High speed shake off, head movement 0, all the options down below to 0 and no to show helmet and helmet depth of field, but for use legacy head movement set it to yes. This makes the game feel much more enjoyable than it does out of the box. Next you want to go into the audio settings and turn down the tire volume as it's very loud by default and gives a false sense of sliding. In the video I saw all this from, 50 is the recommended value but you can go lower if you want. There's also a custom force feedback file on the Reiza forums that people use that is better than default one in the game and you can find that by just Googling "Automobilista 2 fullffb by JP" and that should bring you to the thread that has the file on it to download. The video I'm referencing is by Papryk that has all this info if you'd rather see it there instead of reading this comment. edit: One other thing, they don't have licenses to use some real track names so some tracks in the game are real tracks using fake names, such as Kansai is Suzuka and Azure Circuit is Monaco.

Quick tip, AMS2 fuel map is broken. All lean and medium do is limit full throttle (look at the telemetry) It wont save any fuel really as all its doing is limiting the throttle for you. Just keep it in rich for any scenario, it wont save fuel really, lift and coast is the only way to do that.

[@Millencohlin]

Automobilista 2 is amazingly immersive in VR, you should try it👌 Funny video btw, love it 😄

[@MarcelKiefer]

Thank you❤️

[@SimCurves]

Your face when you felt the puddle of standing water! 😂 AMS2 is a great sim. Glad you like it too.

[@BeaverSama97]

That was super fun to watch! would love to see you try and race in some of the older classic F1 cars and maybe even some stock cars, they're really fun to drive!

[@MarcelKiefer]

That would be epic!

[@joribremer5260]

Try the Formula Hitech one ;)

[@KayoMichiels]

You should give the classic F1s a go! especially the Hi tech: the 2 gens represent the 1992 and 1993 season when the cars were absolutely bonkers! Traction Control, ABS, Active Suspension, Launch Control, automatic gearboxes and even rudimentary DRS!

[@EdisonArias]

With Break Bias, Fuel Map and ERS mapped in your wheel you will like it even more.

[@GG-bt2fs]

AMS2 doesnt get tyre physics the best BUT it does get aero the best! the braking and high speed cornering has so much depth in AMS2

[@yhaustein38]

The AI is a bit of a hit or miss in the wet, but the good thing is that Reiza are constantly tweaking things. IIRC, the most recent small-ish update adjusted their grip parameters for more believable wet weather racing, so depending on when you recorded this, it might be better already. Is it the best for modern F1? Probably not, as you cannot replicate a full season including all the rules, etc. But for the sheer amount of F1 content out of the box (that's classes for 17 seasons) including period-correct tracks, it's tough to beat.

[@FS7kills]

Nice video! it would be interesting to watch you drive the F-Ultimate at Nordschleife, as well as see you drive the other F1 cars in the game.

[@MarcelKiefer]

Is multiclass also doable?

[@FS7kills]

@@MarcelKiefer Yes, there's some interesting multiclass combinations you can do with F1 cars.

[@Nicolas_Cage_Bees]

@@MarcelKiefer if you go into a race you can select multi class as part of the options at the top of the screen and it should let you pick any classes you want I believe.

[@Slakass55]

You know, this isn't Assetto Corsa. You'll get much better starts by applying the brake and engaging first gear while the red lights are on. Then when the green hits, drop the hammer. And as mentioned below, racing without VR doesn't do this title justice. It's a whole new ballgame and the best VR experience of any racing game.

[@deanlawrence871]

Set up a multiplayer race with some esports drivers…it looks a lot of fun

[@sim-racing5843]

Try VR... just saying 🙂

[@MarcelKiefer]

Need to get it

[@ToddSpeed14514]

The VR is good, but having a headset strapped to my face gets uncomfortable after a period of time. It’s pretty cool though and one of the better implementations if VR in a racing game imo, even on a Quest 3.

[@MeasuringHistory]

You need a decent setup to make AMS2 viable. Tires and setup are paramount.

[@anonymous44991]

Marcel i have a question is that some kind of mod or if would buy the game this is what you would and some other tracks ?

[@MarcelKiefer]

The car is included I’m not sure if in the base package, I bought the ultimate, but you have to replace the F1 Skins for the stock skins of the game

[@FS7kills]

The F1 car in the video is part of the base game, Spa is paid DLC.

[@anonymous44991]

Oh okay thank you

[@Wajo2008]

Why does that seat look so big

[@crispimarthur]

mate you should do some classic cars races

[@BeefBlock9844]

typical codemasters player ^^

[@anonymous44991]

And one more question are you able to buy it on xbox or its only for pc

[@FS7kills]

PC Steam only.

[@nimittjain905]

Keep going marcel!🔥❤️

[@zbyn7339]

try it now they updated cars and physics

[@mxscott85]

Wee need some iracing content. "Road to 10k"

[@ktjohnsey4659]

Looks sick

[@ktjohnsey4659]

Does the force feed back feel like I racing?

[@jonasclementdk]

@@ktjohnsey4659 Not by default, AMS2's FFB is way more informative than iRacing, which only outputs steering rack forces. But in AMS2 you can use custom FFB files so you can really tune it any way you like. I know there's a file out there for only steering rack forces which I'm guessing should feel closer to iRacing.

[@robin2694]

Nice video i play a lot of asm2 and you can see me in the leaderboard in timetrail if you want more info of the game let me know

[@reviewforthetube6485]

Its good but I wont lie it feels to jerky at times.

[@Yoshijosh31]

Yes.

[@MarcelKiefer]

It’s sooo good

[@BenjaminKarslund]

Le Mans Ultimate eats this game for breakfast.

[@peasantclips2382]

is lmu doing open wheelers? -also, good luck with the spare ram if you have lol

[@TypeRTeg]

Forgot to say the AI are so broken in this game 😂 they will race you well at near alien pace in the dry but anything else they are beyond broken. You might lose 10+ seconds a lap if it starts to rain, the AI might lose 2-3 seconds on slicks on a wet track.

[@alexandersolovyev5736]
