Automobilista 2 - 5 Best Car/Track Combos to Try on Day 1!

I could see those trucks racing here in Brasília, the Brazilian capital. It was a lot of fun!

Why is it so cheap? Thats a quick buy even if its missing content

How does the 40% discount work on early access? So when I buy the game now at the discounted price, I still get the 1.0 version without paying more? Thanks.

Thanks Mr SimRacing604 - as (all joking aside this time) I needed the expertise of a AMS1 expert to guide me in the right direction, as a so-called AMS NEWBIE....
I will be following your guide with closer inspection many times, as Daylight Savings ends this weekend --- and I can finally put all the gear on in the garage, without ending up in a big pool of sweat (sorry for that discussing image - and really liked your "silent" Intro to this video very much - very clever indeed ; )

Still not convinced about the game. I am convinced that Reiza will keep working on the title but as said before: cant make iron into gold.
It becomes a hit and miss title just like project cars series.
AMS is still the king

oops they did again not a single new car or track, all the new content would be in the expensive dlc

I really like the arrows for showing cars behind and on the side. Changing between red and green is a great solution for showing how close a car is.

Mike, are there loose/safe setup options like in PC2? I'm not very good at setup and I like having those.

Trucks in cascavel is my favorite.

This might sound odd but does it drive well with a controller?

Loving your videos Mike. Keep up the great work

Great video as always 👍.
Just purchased in the uk £24.99 ealry access price.
Keeps the vids coming 👍

I wonder how this performs in VR. I see it has native oculus support just like PC2 has. I will know tonight when I get to try it.

Is there going to be a career mode for Ams2 like the pcars 2 one I enjoined that a lot and would be even better with good ffb

Have you driven proper open cockpit racer?

Formula V12 @ Montreal. My go to on AMS1 and is even better on AMS2

hi,mike, some help please. I bought the AMS before the release of the 2 and went for some intensive races to fully experience the game, and felt in love with AMS and would definitely buy the ASM2. My question is with the wheel rotation range of the cars in AMS. i know that it is almost universal for the modern touring cars to be 540 and older cars 720 or 900, and F1 cars to be 270, but i just want for sure. seems that in AMS i have to adjust this range in game, and do you have some references for the car in AMS in the real world about their wheel rotation range?

Looks like the AI was smart enough to back off on your undercuts; won't miss that from project cars.

So my bottom-line how does it preform in VR? What's up with the bundle that is offered?

Thanks for this! P3 around Oulton park is insane amounts of fun.

Caterham's round Cadwell, when those tyres heat up so does the fun!!!!! Thank me later.

Hey Mike! I was wondering if you've encountered an issue with the sound that myself and a few others have found... especially since you also use VR.

For me, the engine and transmission noises are soooo washed out and degraded, especially in cockpit view. All I can hear is wind, and everything else seems muffled. Sounds really unnatural. Then when I press the "look back" button, I can occasionally hear the pure engine sound and it sounds great! So I know the quality sound is there, just hidden!

I have only tried playing in VR but it is really immersion-breaking. I in going to try it on my monitor and see if that affects anything. I don't notice it happening in your videos.

Also, when I turn my head in VR, the sound is bugged and the Left and Right channels seem to be reversed (ex: turn my head to the left, hear more engine sound from the right ear despite the engine being behind me...)

Thanks for any input you have. I really want to enjoy this game but this is really sticking in my craw right now. Sounds do bad compared to all my other sims on the same headphones/output.

big up Mike!

this game is crap/i returned my money.

Suspension on this game os weird.

Oh man, that P3 at Oulton is total chefskiss.jpg. Maybe a bit of BOP needed in that class though, the distribution of the grid after qualifying was suspiciously grouped by car model. Stunning graphics at sunset too. And the V8’s at Adelaide is fantastic in VR. Was a bit disappointed with the VW bugs (or whatever their Brazilian name is) but I’m going to give them another go, maybe at a different track.

Somewhat surprised at the tepid reaction. Not as much attention for this release as I would have thought; it seemed highly anticipated. Maybe it’s the pandemic...

I think the Ultima is easily one of the best cars

that game sucks, better play lfs

First thing I tried was the last thing you showed Mike. Wow! Locked diff makes for a lot of sideways action in the Super V8s and what better place than Adelaide? Smashing over the curbs and lighting it up out of the 2 90 degree turns!
I can't wait to give your suggestions a go! Thanks for sharing them Mike!

Mike, what are decent a.i skill settings that allow for decent racing? I tried an F-Classic Gen 2 race at 100% skill (like I have it set in PC2), but they were unrealistically too fast off the turns.

Does or will AMS 2 allow third party mods? tia

Sprint race cars in Guapore is my favorite combo at the moment! You should try it out

My first impression wasn't great. 4hrs of racing later I'm quickly becoming a fan. I would love a force feedback tutorial from you as well as camera settings for such things as World Movement and G-Force. I use TrackIR and had to turn all those to 0 (shaking was way too much for my stomach). Most other settings appear like PC2. I really like the Stock Car at IMOLA 1972. AI, well........

Sorry mike, but these V8 sound like lawnmowers...

Great video Mike! This title was looking a little iffy but clearly, you've found some great combos. It's looking more like a potentially complete package now.

Superkarts around Monaco in VR .. what a rush and the sound is amazing!

Question: How heavy is it to download? 50 gigs like PC2?

As always excellent mike just a thought what’s your graphic settings thank you 👏👏👏

Can u do a vid or guide on your Accuforce settings and in game settings in ams2

The brakes in this EA game are horrid... way to sensitive no matter what I set at

I needes this idk any tracks on this lol

kyalami was a surprise for me, i love that circuit, i wish it was still in modern day f1,probably the underdog of circuits and many historical fatal accidents as well.

I wish they had the stadium trucks in ams2

The ai looks too simple

I'm VERY late to the party, but with the new DLC I recommend some of these a shot:
Formula V10 gen 1 at Silverstone 1991 (try to beat the world record hotlap ;)
P4+GT4+GT5 multiclass race for 25 minutes with time progression and dynamic weather at Silverstone International 2001 (you'll get some idea of what the Top Gear lads went through on that 24 hour race episode)
Virgin Supercars (Super v8s in game) at Kyalami
Have fun!!!

Fusca in bathurst

I love Oulton Park especially the Classic layout. The Roco 001 is a very fun car to drive and it's fantastic around Brands Hatch too.

awesome video. this list needs an update, mike :)

BONUS: Ultimate GTR Race hotlaps at Cascavel. Wow!
