Automobilista 2 crept up on me like a little domesticated kitten and has now evolved into a fully grown, all consuming predatory tiger. Love it!
I love this so much
Amazing description 😂
if game devs bothered to ask sim racers what you want in a sim racing title you would get, physics and monitor setup of RF2 + Sounds and feedback of ACC + multiplayer system of Iracing + Visual quality, weather system and VR of AMS2 + modability of Assetto corsa = Perfect sim racing game
For me it would be Physics: updated AC, Sounds: LMU or AMS2, FFB: modded AC, Multiplayer: iRacing, Graphics: modded AC with modern track-visuals, Weather: AMS2, VR: AMS2 and of course Mods: AC. Me personally I would also prefer a nice singleplayer career mode like GT5 and a nice looking UI or overall presentation like in ACC. So with my list there are big hopes with AC2 😅
Reinstalled the game a few weeks ago after 2 years without being aware of (or even thinking about) updates.
I started driving an offline race and felt kind of overwhelmed with the overall immersion.
Even asked myself "why did i stop playing this back then?"
Yes - this is how good the improvement due to the updates really is.
Thanks for the detailed video review. For the little time I have gotten into AMS 2 I really like the racing game. I also do majority of my racing games with VR and now have the Quest 3.. I am still learning the game and there is a content manager that I want to check out and see what that provides for me far as any additional tracks and cars in AMS 2.
Thanks again and take care.
Your welcome!
I waited until the V1.5 update to buy in so I can't compare it to past versions, but I like it a lot. The most recent tweaks to the tire models and AI have made it better. I'm looking forward to the forthcoming "latin flavoured" DLC.
I bought it when the AI could only go down to 80 I believe.. I see now it goes down to 70. I can finally win a race as a beginner xD
Defo buy it reiza have really transformed the madness engine and its great
great great game. the evolution is awesome
I enjoy the amount of tracks, some cars are fantastic, others not as much.. but with the content manager and mods it’s definitely gotten better.
Good review, Ive just gone back to project cars 2 after the awkwardness of VR with Assetto Corsa.
I read this is pretty much the proper project cars 3, I hope there's some sort of campaign mode
There is a championship, but check out racedepartment for some cool mods.
Yeah if you like simracing you should buy it and preferably a VR set s well. By the way, the Madness engine was build with VR in mind. That is probably why it performs so well In VR. It was one of the first race titles who chose the right path, the path of VR.
I especially like the historic cars en circuits.
A little plug for Racecraft Online, they're already doing LFM style daily races for AMS2 👍
Yes I signed up, but the races were filled with ai.
Yeah the player base isn't that big, hopefully it will grow once we get the multiplayer overhaul. There's just a lot of the sim racing community who don't even consider AMS2 sadly. @@aubreycolemanracing
Really want this game to succeed in multiplayer. The devs know what foundation the multiplayer needs to be great. I hope the come up with a great ranking system so other players start playing. I feel like the reason for the low playerbase is because the multiplayer is not there yet. Fingers crossed it can be done sometime this year or hopefully next.
Depends on the time zone. RCO is great for European players who can race in the evening, but doesn’t yet have great numbers for other time zones.
It sure has evolved into a great sim. VR is amazing.
For every simracer AMS2 is mandatory.
Yes you should - bad ass game that's right there & then some with ACC & a ton more content & cars
If only it had save during midrace. Just because of this missing feature I am unable to do full 6h or 24h races. Rest all is super polished and great content.
There is an option to speed up time I believe . Meaning you can play through a 24h race cycle in about 2hrs or however many hrs you want to play. Day night transition, weather changes etc of 24hrs can speed up to give you the same experience in shorter time
@@shul5684 Yeah, but that feels more like a workaround. A 6h on a simulator should be 6h. I love the game, i play ACC and AMS2 both when I get a chance but been missing the save feature here. I know it is a dream but wish to see it implemented someday.
@@kunal3d I also heard you can have AI copilots in your team.. maybe you can program it so they run the race while you go out for your errands.

Favorite sims are iracing, ams2, acc / ac
I took 2 years out from any pc gaming as had newborn. I mostly raced pc2 at the time but did try ams2. 2 years on and my toddler more independant i thought id scratch my itch for sim racing so dusted off the pc, over spent on new rig (fanatec f1 bundle dd1, p1x pro and quest 3) bit of a upgrade from g29 and 4x2 on a desk. Anyhow sadly pc2 has no community so thought id try ams2 again and so glad i did, its defo a whole different beast from 2 years ago. Do need to upgrade my gpu though
I run my Quest 3 with a Radeon 6950 xt and it works really good.
It is a really good game. I love it. And best thing is it run’s on the Stemdeck 🤩
Lucky to have a Steamdeck! Hard to get in Aus.
@@aubreycolemanracing oh really 😧I am glad that for me it was not much a problem here in Europe.
Genuinely amazed that the AI made it into your positives list. Their comparative difference between performance levels across not only different classes, but also different tracks while using the same settings is nothing short of frustrating. Even if you do get them to the correct level in terms of lap times, the disparity in their speed in various parts of the track to the player is at best laughable and at worst chaotic. The human community is better than you’ll find in most sims, but this is likely due to the fact that it is so niche, were it to expand then I’m sure the quality would also suffer so it’s a bit naive to suggest a ranked system would suddenly make it the best sim ever 🤷♂️
Compared to the ai in other sims, AMS2's ai is consistently good, and getting better. There are lot's of ai mods out there for AMS2, with some of the skin packs.
because this never realy had a carear mode i always looked pass it but i must say the real life mod mad this game one of my favourites
So you mean to tell me Reiza made the real Project Cars 3? Sold.
Oh, my bad. I confused Automobiilista 2 with Auto Modelista... Different titles, just a bit similar.
I thought this was somehow a sequel to AM which left me confused as AM had cel shaded graphics and Gran Turismo sound effects. 😅
Been sim racing for 10 years.
AMS2 is the best sim racing game ever made for me.
I still have AC cos I love hillclimbs and you can download a million of them.
If AMS2 finally supports modding completely, AC is finished.
Don't forget Assetto Corsa 2 is on the way.
I’m still on project cars 2 and AC, never got this game. Does it need tuning and setups to be drivable like in pc2? Their stable and loose default setups were horrible
Much better than PC2, default setups much better now too.
@@aubreycolemanracing I’m considering the bundle version but it’s 100 euros so it’s a bit steep. Can I ask does ams2 have have a separate config file and launch for vr and monitor?
I loved this about pc2, easy switch between vr and monitor it’s always set up
I used to love ams2 since 1.5, but now i don't know what they have done, but the lmhd feels terrible, like GT cars, the rotation feels terrible loosing the back like never....
great game, but i recomend people to wait till they do discounts and buy all the dlcs haha
They improve the game so much! This is Project Cars 3! Please do not forget about this game!
Hi, I’m a bit confused, I’ve had AMS2 for a couple of years now, can I just update the software of my version or have I got to buy the game again?
You won't have to buy the game again, but you may need the dlc packs, or the dlc you don't have. The game will always update to the latest version if you have the game installed.
@@aubreycolemanracing Hi what dlc packs would that be?
AI still has way more traction than we do. Really Reiza?
I would say if someone is into VR, AMS2 is a good choice. Also if you just want a nice singleplayer experience with good Ai and quite easy to drive cars (even on controller) you should consider buying it. For me, after around 320h the magic of AMS2 is already gone and I am fully back to Assetto Corsa. I personally never liked the graphics and imho a fully modded AC looks way better. I am still buying the DLCs for AMS2 just to support the developer but thats it. Maybe I will come back to AMS2 when they finally release the singleplayer career and they should also do something about all the bugs which are there since the beginning. To be honest for me AMS2 is still an early access title and far away from being a finished game.
i compared ams2 and a in VR, yes AC runs even smoother, but the graphics look very old, the only one Map that looks good is nuerburgring/Nordschleife. when you activate all the PP Filters so it looks nearly ams2 then AC runs not as smooth than ams2 so i decide to stay with ams2. but the FFB from av is little bit better i think. difficult.. but I lik outstanding graphics more.
Yes, about the FFB its hard to say, but I would say that the FFB in AMS2 is all the way good. In AC it is not because of all the mods and the age of the game. But new mods for AC like the RSS Mercer most probably has the best feeling and FFB in whole simracing.@@mh7711
How much would it cost for a complete setup like yours in total with the wheel and peddles and PC and chair ?
I would like to get a whole set up like yours
Many thanks
In the description is listed all my gear, but my pc alone is worth around $5000 aus. Just the RTX4090 alone is $3000. Also my wheelbase is about to change to a Fanatec Clubsport DD Plus which is nearly $1700 aus. Best thing to do is check out my stuff in the description. 👍
@@aubreycolemanracing thank you
It used to be my best SIM with more hours than any other SIM I drove but somehow I don't enjoy it as I did.
It doesn't seem so realistic as it used to be.
Anyone has this issue?
Exactly the same on my side...
It still is the one in which I have more hours, but play it less and less, and very rarely nowadays.
Playing more ACC and RF2, even Raceroom sometimes, but at the moment I am hooked to LMU.
When I boot up AMS2, it feels like I have to relearn to drive it, and simply feels off, like not learning how to drive a real car, and even making a step backwards in that direction.
@@RDEstevao yes.i wish it wouldn't happen because I really like AMS2 and had so many good moments in races
I find the comment about setting up triples a bit odd. AMS2 is about the only sim around that actually supports triples properly without needing Nvidia Surround or similar tools.
For alot of people, the side screens don't line up properly. Even Race Beyond Matter, the youtuber has only just fixed it.
VR and gameplay like racing with AI was fun. Physics and tuning wise, still terrible even after updates. I had experiences in 270R and it drives terrible in game. It feels like it wants to drift, even GT and M1 procar are shit. I even tried time trial because the tuning setup is specified to each racetrack. Even that one didn’t improve the feeling. Let’s not gaslight ourselves and accept the truth Reiza still has a lot of work to do if they want this to be a proper sim game and relevant again.
When you need to be changing the ffb setup every day, something fails... Im sad 😢
Sounds like an issue on your side. I use custom and haven’t changed it in months. You can set the FFB level per car in the car setups that’s the only thing I change,
I love the physics.
Have you tried rFactor 2?
@@aubreycolemanracing no not yet but it's on my list. I've done Assetto Corsa, ACC, Raceroom, Forza Motorsport etc but so far... AMS2 and ACC have my favorite physics.
Edit: I'm also on the list for Test Drive and Rennsport so we'll see how that goes... Hopefully soon.
@MaximumCarter rFactor 2 physics are unbelievable, incredible feel through ffb. Not saying ams2 is bad, just rFactor 2's are superior.
TLDR: Yes
The answer to should you buy it is a resounding, YES. But, and this is important, look on youtube for view settings to get rid of a "floaty" feeling. The default camera settings are not good, but with some little tweaking, you can get them perfect. It makes a HUGE difference. Reiza had done a GREAT job, let nobody fool you into thinking the current state of the game feels anylike like project cars 2!
2020 game and still no Multiplayer.. Iracing had it figured 15 years ago, appearantly dev's can't copy things that are already proven to be good.
still feels like the tyres are made of mashed potato
Now it's time to stop making content and focus in fixing the Multiplayer....then AMS2 is no1
Unfortunately the FFB and feeling of the car is still crap, cars feel floaty and the braking is so far off of a ‘real car feeling’, there’s been so many updates and still no closer it’s a shame
It's a shame you can't enjoy it, like many others.
For me FFB is perfect on Moza R5 DirectDrive(if you config it correct)... its not a trainSIM.😉
I have a T818 and the FFB in AMS2 is amazing
is madness a dated/old engine? lol. the second time you told that, i quit the video. FYI, unreal engine 4 that kunos managed to compine with ithe inhouse physics engine (not an easy task ant not an ption for engines like ISI and/or madness) nad use ONLY for graphics, wather effects FX and sounds in ACC released 10 years ago, plus its very hungry for hardware (in ACC).
Sure thing!🤣
I can play ams2 on full 100% with 3120px per eye (HP Reverb G2) with almost maximum Settings, 16xAA, with my rtx 3090, but only with 60hz, it is ok, perhaps 90hz possible with RTX 4090. But I will wait to RTX 5090 and then even raising up the resolution for even more sharpness and with new OLED VR goggles it will be amazing. For now, everything lower than full 100% resolution the game looks not so impressive, that why i prefer 60hz instead of 90hz
I already run max settings with 100% res scaling with the 4090, and it still runs 90hz. I upgraded from the 3090, and was blown away!
Nice! So you would say 60fps with 3090 and a jump to 90fps with the 4090? or even more? I want to know if I only could Upgrade with the change to 90fps or even raise up my Settings, too (activating post processing Filter, or racing at night/rain then possible (my 3090 sucks really and drops me down to 20-30fps then) @aubreycolemanracing
@mh7711 yeah, even the 3090 struggles with the resolution it has to produce. I ran the 3090 same max graphics, but to obtain 90hz, I ran about 70% scaling. It's still sharp on the hp reverb g2. But the 4090 can really push the pixels. I play lots of other games, and the 4090 is the only gpu that let's me play 120hz on my 4k oled, with many games. 90hz is the sweat spot for vr.
@@aubreycolemanracing okey thank you! ok so you preferred 70% scaling and 90fps. i Do it the other way, 100% scaling wothopt post processing Filter bomjt most on max, because I love fine details in the far, but only 60fps and only Day Light without rain/Lightbeams of the cars. i would love to see how New titles will perform in future, assetto corsa 2, Rennsport and so on :) the future will be great. Do you use sharpening trick for ams2? Editing only two Lines in the Config file? that gives me a more clear and sharper picture, very good improvements without any Performance Hit. let me know! @aubreycolemanracing
The madness engine is not old compared to every other current sim. Its better and newer than all of them. Only UE5 is newer.
ACC is utter trash in VR because the engine is trash in VR. And ACC is boring asf.
I have tried so much to enjoy this sim, I've purchased various DLC, spent hours tuning and going around tracks and been blown away by the fidelity in VR but I still can't get on with the tire model. It's just so unrealistic and alien that trail breaking doesn't work and you have to essentially drift to be fast. Hopefully they nail the physics one day but until then I just can't enjoy the sim as much as others.
It is quite different to others.
I haven't played ams2 in a long time. Raceroom felt more realistic even without ams2 graphics in my opinion.
You should try it now, it's come a long way.
Dirty, dirty, dirty online racing, even with a rating system.
I was enjoying your video until you started knocking on the Madness engine. Clearly you don't know a thing about engines and is just regurgitating the same crap that iracing fans and those that haven't tried this title spit out: that the game sucks due to the engine. Then you go on to say how great it is graphics wise and how it is the best for VR. You can't have both ways. Either it sucks or it's fantastic, which is my opinion of this sim. I play it in VR and I have played ACC in VR and it's a joke. So do you still think the Madness engine is crap or do you plan to continue regurgitating what your hear on the internet?
For those interested in the opinion of someone that actually have tried several titles (except for iracing, I'm not a sucker), please disregard all the stupidity you hear about the Madness engine. AMS2 wouldn't be the amazing sim it is had it gone with a different engine. Want proof: try it.
Never did I say the engine sucked, or that it's crap I just said it's old. And yes, the graphics still look great, and like I said, the best VR experience. You've lost the plot mate, totally miss interpreted what I said. Go and have a cold shower mate!
I bought 1.5 after hype and played it for 20min and uninstalled, can't be compared to acc physics...not even close. Sadly because it has fun car in it
Even though you might prefer ACC, it's physics are not even close to real life. Streamers that have driver real GT3s like Alex Albon to name just one have freely admitted to setting up the cars, not to how they would in real life but to exploit the game engine and 'funky physics'.
Team Redline also admitted to doing this on iRacing with Max openly saying that's how they set up their cars in game.
The physics you talk about is communicated to you via the FFB. In AMS2 you can use custom FFB files, onthe Reiza forums you can get a whole host of files for different wheels and feels. I have downloaded and used one that matches the feel to iRacing.
I personally play iRacing and spent thousands on it with all cars and tracks. But I also very much enjoy AMS2 since the 1.5.4 update and with the customer FFB file. I am also finding myself playing more and more of AMS2 over iRacing as the AI is the best out there, it's 100% a market leader for solo play.
20 min, and you uninstalled!
@aubreycolemanracing I don't hate or dislike ams2 but the feeling of the braking and such gave a very sluggy feeling. Wasn't anything for me
@@snippidippi Read my comment on this video and you'll understand why you had that feeling.
20 mins isn't enough to decide on any sim.
Don’t buy it yet.. looks fantastic but still feels rubbish
For you maybe, but many love it, and the overwhelming positive reviews tell the story. I'm glad I can have fun with all sim titles.
@@aubreycolemanracing I’ve bought the full DLC to support development, really hope they sort it out - I come back every update to check
