I went online racing yesterday in Long Beach and it was raining on part of the track and dry on another part and that was changing. When the rain stopped, the track dried differently in different parts of the track. Very immersive.
AMS2's the only sim I play now. It's got great visuals, good performance, and a great variety of cars and tracks. I think Reiza's definitely got a good niche, and they're building on and improving the work SMS did. I guess with ACC's popularity that GT cars are the fashion currently, so AMS2 won't be appealing if you're not into old formula cars or club-level racing, and official licensing is certainly a draw to other sims as well.

i do agree ! i never tried cause i never bought it but today after seeing many videos about new this new dlc,and new update, i was like hummm ok let's give it a try and now really i'm stuck into it ! no more rf2 no more acc ! this one got good physic, stunning graphics, insanely good immersion ! so yes definitely they got me too !
Physics are really hit or miss for me with AMS2, but the variety of tracks and cars included is enough that I keep it in my rotation.
Hopefully it will turn out amazing and they are constantly working on improving it so it's not impossible, it will probably never reach the level of ACC though purely because A: they have a lot more cars to focus on rather than just 2 classes for ACC and B: it's unlikely that they can get as much information on said cars as Kunos can as an official licensed project who works with current drivers of GT3s.
Run the Superkart at N24. Might not be the fastest, but for eye level experience and the ability to get out of trouble suddenly, its a hit.
Warm up on Brands Hatch Indy, to get a feel before you run GH.
The VR experience is so far the best VR experience I’ve had in a sim racing title. Just that alone is worth it for me
Most people give credit to the new content (which is awesome) but don't realize this patch means a complete physics/FFB overhaul and improvement. You should revisit the old content, a lot of cars now feel new and are a lot of fun... This game is going serious!!
Best looking, visually feeling & Sounding sim in VR in my opinion!
Yes it’s really becoming something special. Maybe it’ll surpass ac one day.
I agree but AC might be better with sol and custom shaders patch
@@rehakmate it’s not. I have ac with sol and custom shaders patch. PC2 beats it in VR so AMS2 should be even better
for sure the best VR performance sim. It's so good to full grid with almost no stutter or fps drop!
@@YordanHristooov I would strongly disagree with that, PC2 doest even come close, but its a matter of taste. Pc2 has much worse performance and a pathetic ffb compaded to ac
I go between this and AC, but blown away after this latest update.
The BMW M4 GT4 has always cold tires, and the traction control on BMW GT3 has no effect if turned on or off. I wait another major upgrade, this is... bof... I'm so tired of being a videogame player.
@@grillodon I hate to break it to you, but *every* simulator has issues including things like AC and rF2. You’re essentially always playing a video game unless you’re driving a real car.
@@Logan912 you’re totally right. But some sims are more videogamish than other.
You are totally on the money here.
After watching your video, agreeing that I also had never given AM2 a shot, I installed it.
OMG, Immediately in defaults I can feel the difference, also better audio, more spatial, plus more accurate visual queues than ACC.
Damn good!
Straight up I went to Bathurst just as a practice session. Did the out/install and like immediately this felt good. Run a 2nd lap to get tyres on and bang! How good! It was a Porsche GT3R - easy car to drive, if you can left foot brake. J :)
Oh, yeah, like you said: The experience.
Thank you so much for opening my eyes.
Finnaly random on the ams2 🙌
This patch and DLC pack injected so much fun for me, racing the AI with a buddy in the Roco 001 at Long Beach most of the day was one of the better ways I've spent a saturday in recent memory.
I had also put it on the back burner for several months but picked it up again when the April physics update came out and now with the 1.2 update and the new USA racing patch AMS2 has just blown me away. It is so good and so much fun, the differences in the cars even in the same class, the AI personalities, the new sounds and the weather; it is simply stunning. And for those who do not have time for full online events this title suits wonderfully, boot it up have few quick goosebump raising races and back to RL...👍
dude i just was racing the vette in this game like 5 minutes ago... its great! C8 Daytona... lots of fun. Love your videos... I have my "water shoes" and some other cheap gloves from your suggestions... your channel rocks!
Also I was in VR... was a literal rush.
I like the look of the corvette
AMS2 is best in VR
I love that Lexus as well, and totally get it. AMS2 is slowly turning into something special, Reiza have already done more with the madness engine than SMS could dream of doing or attempt to deliver or if they would even try,... but it is very much a work in progress but it's keep getting better and better with each update.
What I love about AMS 2 AI is that they actually seem to want to race instead of driving around the circuit and trying to give the player a hard time.
Agreed, all the GTE's and the DPI feel absolutely amazing. And the weather integration is class leading for sure
I recently started playing again around a month ago. This patch was great timing for me. I love the Group C, Group A, and Porsche Clubsport the most right now. Some of the tracks like Cascais, Cristais, and Velo Cita I would have never tried otherwise and haven't seen anywhere else. It's also a great game in VR!
I've really enjoyed AMS2 through the last several updates. I don't race GT3s too much in it, mainly using it for other classes. Plus load time is a lot quicker than RF2 or Raceroom, which is great if I just want a quick 30 minute blat during my lunch break
Hii, if i buy only the game on steam, does it comes with the update? And after i buy should i buy the new updates that in the future come? Thanks
We need another SIm racing title like Assetto Corsa 2, or Rfactor 3 with MODS, that would be so freaking awesome!!!!
Wait, Laguna Seca isn't in Brazil. What is this?!
American Brazil
@@randomcallsign BRASIL!
Thanks for sharing your take on the new DLC. I'll have to give it a try .. if I can find the time! I haven't sat in my rig in at least 6 weeks!
I find ams2 great for people that want huge variety of cars and tracks from different eras without messing with modding. It's a shame there's not a lot of people online (unless you join a group)
@@kolysion164 not sure if youve ever played ams2
@@Rmagid he is a troll you can find him on every AMS2 vid lol
@@DavideCardamone Was wondering where he went...😒
@@kolysion164 rF2 is my everyday sim, but AMS2 is getting there considering the place rF2 progress (grass grow is much more visible if you stare)
@@kolysion164 moron.
Everything feels great. Only issue, which is pretty significant, is the GTLM’s, especially the Porsche RSR are on absolutely rails. Almost impossible to lose the rear end.
Great update. With the help of custom FFB files from the forum it's a good driving experience. I spent a couple of hours switching back and forth between AMS, AC and ACC, overall i find AMS 2 physics much too bouncy. I'd love it more if it was a bit smoother, some of the bounciness doesn't really make sense. This doesn't apply to Formula cars in AMS2 which are super smooth in contrast. I do find it easier to catch slides in AMS 2. The DPI at Daytona is really awesome, but i must have killed my tyres after 4 laps, as my FFB was rattling hard!
LOL.. Flat spots will do that :D
@@ettoresapienzamaddriver876 I think you're right man.. Damn those flat spots! 🤣
ACC and this game are my favorite sims race at the moment
The new physics on EVERY car in the latest update has changed the game 200x better. Less PC2, more RFactor feeling.
please stop driving into the ai. They're very sensitive.
Not only that, when they take over the world, you're done! 😀
I agree with the M4 Gt4 comment, Actually all the GT4 cars feel a bit off, only the McLaren is fun to drive in the Gt4s
I played with AMS2 when it came out, I liked it, but the odd content just didn't do it for me, and, quite honestely, it just seemed like a slightly improved version of PC2. Didn't play it for a good while. Then, yesterday, I tryed it again and was simply blown away. The way the cars react, the FF... It really turned into one of the best sims out there...
I so want to like AMS2, just reinstalled and fiddled with it to match my triples for a looong time to get a decent result (it's a pain in you know where). But my real gripe is the driving experience. The throttle is super aggressive, the cars all over the place. Also the steering ratios are a mystery to me. That said, it might all be me, so: advice appreciated ;)
Sounds like you could use some tuning. I legit spent a few good hours setting it up to my liking but once I got it right, it felt very much along the lines of rF2. As of the cars, the default setups are wrong for a few of them and that throws me off at times. For example, McLaren 720s has super long 1st gear. As you said, the steering ratios seem off too. But then again, it all comes down to tuning the sim settings + tuning the cars. Give it a couple of hours and fiddle with the settings, it will get there.
I just want Reiza to update their default setups.
Steering ratios like you call them aren't steering ratio, but rather steering lock (as per garage description) which works exactly the opposite. Higher values = more direct steering. Maybe that is what is throwing you off balance?
@@ettoresapienzamaddriver876 Brainfart, I meant steering 'range', as it is called in Simucube CT. With 900 and 'game-will-do-the-rest'-expectation you feel like steering a cruise-ship, so I went for 540° which is a good average usually. Not perfect for all cars (esp. not karts ;) ) but a compromise. Cars are still not willing to turn in, then snap in and then you fight oversteer. The super aggressive throttle doesn't help here either. Adjusting the sensitivity - as far as I understand it - is not the way, since it gives you a linear approach only with the 50 adjustment. I calibrated wheel and brakes severeal times. I should add that I am not a newbie. 1000h in ACC , over 400h in R3E etc. No problems in any other sim with my setup.
@@MikiLaggard the thing is you should set your range to auto and the sim will always adapt to the car you are driving because obviously the range varies by car. I have a DD so not sure how the Simucube guys are setting it, you may want to check the Reiza forum to find someone with your same setup to share details. Once you are done with that cars do turn in properly and steering wheel input for typical GT cars for example are in a logical range of 45-90 degrees for medium speed corners. And yes compared to other sims like ACC you can't floor the gas which makes sense, you need to actually drive the car and not sit on the TC. Same with ABS: you still need to modulate braking, cause unlike ACC you won't be able to turn in the car sitting on ABS because not locking up doesn't mean you have spare room for as much lateral loading as you would want.
Driving sim mechanics aside, this game is so much fun in VR. Fun!
sure, ams2 has great visuals and weather implementation.
but, too much variety between content, it seems there is standard and premium cars/tracks. the driving experience is still very weird to say the least, ffb is also...weird. it just doesn't feel natural how cars behave, countersteer always end in this sort of auto-center feel with no further dynamics involved, f1 cars are literally on rails and just wrong. I appreciate the effort made by Reiza to constantly improve this title, even though it always feels half-finished.
That’s because it is half finished
What lap times are you setting? I was trying to match Mansell's pole lap at old Silverstone, and the car was very difficult to drive, and I was still several seconds off his time.
You have to try after the last update. I´m used to RF2 but not Im hooked to AMS2. It´s that good! The force feedback now is on point!
I just got into sim racing this month and bought AC first due to it's modding community, and I have enjoyed it the past couple weeks. My main draw is MINI Coopers and so I got Pessio's beautiful versions. Once I learned that AMS2 had first party MINIs I had to get it. The JCW has been what I've driven so far and it feels a bit better than in AC. The sound is better as well, and the integrated weather options are much better than having use a mod. I know GT racing is the fad right now, but I prefer club and touring cars because slower cars are more fun imo. I will be trying out the Formula Vee out next as those little open wheel cars look like a lot of fun!
It's almost Rfacttor2 but, it's close and better graphics and AI (possibly still testing) One thing is for sure you can control the car much better now.
1:30 - AI car misinterprets track limits, cuts the track, panics, Random slams into the back of him. Sigh.
No random slammed into the back of him where you linked. The 1st part, yeah, looks like the AI braked when off track, which is weird
And if you have the Ai too aggressive, they start acting like AI and less Human like. Surely needs more tweaks, but its quite good
It's a shame that there isn't a game with modern Trans Am cars
*old
@@mattmattmatt131313 Assetto Corsa and other sims have a fuck ton of old Trans Am mods/cars. I haven't seen a single modern one though
@@biasedsherman there has to be someone, on Someone's Reddit page that would have a Mod for what you're looking for (like asking Rf2 and ACC in their own Sub Reddits)
Can you get me a question, call sign? Is the Logitech driving force gt compatible with the Assetto Corsa Competizione game?
Don't know
What is exactly is bad with the package??
I'm loving Automobilista 2
Great title!
I'd love to continue the rhyme, but I ain't got the time...
I agree, but when you have it go for a simracing spree
@@randomcallsign We know you're a busy man, but try the RSR when you can...
It's crystal clear, I'm running into lift-off oversteer.
I have been playing ACC, then AMS2 when it came out, then recently got back into ACC. Hopped on yesterday at Spa to compare the two titles in GT3 and noticed there seemed to be a borderline insane amount of grip in AMS2 compared to ACC. It seems like ACC you need much better control to keep it on track, where AMS2 on Spa seemed like i needed to just turn in and send it. Unfortunately i don't own a GT3 car to compare, but ACC still felt like what i "thought" a race car would be like. Would love other thoughts on it...
Bet no one has ever driven them, but GT3s aren't that edgy cars. They are designed to drive for up to 24H with a crew of three different drivers with different tastes and styles. If they were so hard to keep on track nobody would finish the race (example given: 24 Hrs of Spa 2020 when drivers faced a lot of changing conditions but very few lost control). I wouldn't fall for the equation difficult = more realistic. Personally I think the new update has unlocked a bit more of a natural behavior at the limit and I find the current GT3s very much a credible simulation.
I agree. Most characteristics feel good in AMS2, but the cars are on rails. Too much grip. No race car driver, but ACC seems to be more realistic in terms of grip and even when compared to a real life onboard. You literally have to try to lose the rear in AMS2. Honestly almost feels like there is Traction Control still on in ams2, even when turned to 0.
I refunded the game a yer ago because it didn't feel ready yet. I think now comes the time where you can buy it without regretting.
The new are great, and they feel great, but they sound terrible (muted) from within the cockpit when using headsets ,unlike iRacing or RRE, Am I the only one with issue?
Don't use helmet cam, it muzzles the sounds.
Question is, can you multiclass with gt3?
Yed
@@randomcallsign I reckon you meant to say "Yes" thanks for the reply! Multi class is awesome!
I meant to say yes, indeed :D
I just can't race monoclass anymore. Multiclass is so much dynamic, always something happening.
@@jopereirapt you can race any class with any class. You could do multiclass rental karts vs copa trucks (big 1000hp trucks), or modern f1 cars vs 60s f1 cars. Only your imagination and the ai's competence is the limit!
When you start being a bit more gentle with the wheel, you might just get good. You're driving like the dudes in the old movies, moving the wheel left and right for no reason. You're torturing your tires and you're constantly screwing your car's stability.
Best sim of 2019
Boy do I wish ACC AI were as good as AMS2 AI. ACC offline puts me to sleep!
LOve this game!
Game still feels off to me
It's funny that the weather stuff he's talking about has all been in rf2 for a while.
It still has no multiplayer, the least played game on steam, its going the same way as AMS 1
The American tracks are very nice, but these ACC-like auto throttle, auto brake, auto traction, auto-auto cars (GTE) leave me totally cold.
Did you have all of the assists turned on? GTEs should only have TC. If you set assists to Authentic in the menu, it'll be correct.
Sounds like a very polished version of PC2 to be fair
I think, the sim gets better and better. But all in all: rF2 is the place to be for me personally. AMS 2 feels to soft for me. Everything seems, like the car is driving on rails. The car does not feel alive in comparison to rf2. It gets better and better, but i think, i won´t get the level of immersion, that ams1 (!), rf1 and rf2 has in every single lap i drive.
ACC for me is something in between. It´s great, too. It feels better than AMS2 for me, but it is not able to compete with sims, that have a better FFB and phsysics.
Complete opposite experience for me. rF2 is the dullest sim I've ever driven (and the only one I have actually uninstalled), even more so than ACC which I love for its online racing and overall polish... but not for the driving experience. Amazing how different we can all perceive the same sims, depending on taste, setups, etc.
@@BroncosArg you’ve judged it based on online experience and the overall game. Yes, RF2 may not be the best sim out there, but hands down, no other sim would even come close to it’s FFB and driving feel.
@@farizshj no, I judge it based on spending two hundred hours on it racing two of my friends because one of them loves it. As far as FFB and driving feel that may be your opinion, but it's not a universal truth. I personally think rF2s FFB has been overrated for years. Maybe it was great when it came out compared to other sims but as of now there is nothing unique about it.
@@BroncosArg totally agree with you, seems like rF2 fanboyism for me...
@@viktorianas everybody has its favorite sim. For me, ams 2 is just a way better PC2. Iracing is completely overhyped. Acc has a very weird FFB, that delivers not enough information. PC2 was one of the worst sims for me personally. Iracing, acc, ams2, rf2,... Every sim isn't perfect. But rf2 has gets the worst "dislike" of them all, because nobody is willing to spend some time in doing some hardware setup-work and searching for a community, that is willing to drive the sim. For me, it's the best sim, because there are way less drivers out there, that are blinded by the media or the "show and shine" of a sim. There are many more fanboys of other Sims.
Acc looks the best. R3E sounds the best. Iracing only thinks it's the best. And rfactor 2 feels the best. So it is for me personally.
What are the AI settings in this test of yours? Because that looks so bad, just like an arcade racing game, just way too easy to outbrake the others and the punting doesn't seem to have any impact on the car. Looks very poor tbh
GM said AMS2 is not a simulator so delete channel pls
you speak too much, Irish.
Sorry about that, Greek person on the internet
@@randomcallsign thanks, a well deserved dislike has just been given to the Irish's video channel.
