This video is what I got the camera for! Mama and chick so cute 🥰

Sometimes I like to sit with my dogs and just hold their paw 🥰

Is the AI for the 2005 GT cars really hard or do I just suck? High power & high down force sequential cars aren't usually my forte, but I like these cars. However, I have to turn the AI difficulty down. Usually (depending on mod) I'm between 100-110 difficulty with Reiza cars. But at 100 I'm mid-pack with the 05 GT cars.

My lines are good, my setup seems good BUT the proof is in the stop watch so maybe my setups suck? Or is the AI just really difficult?

I was doing a 1974 DRM(ish) race at Hockenheimring 1977. I'm using mods- GTS 1973 for the slower class and Gr 4 for Capri & CSL the faster class. The Gr 4 cars were clearly faster- every single car out qualified and were faster in practice than every car in the GTS 1973 class. Yet, the 1973 class cars started in the front of the grid.

Huh?

How can I fix this?

imagine someone gives you a ticket to see any concert anywhere in the world, any time in the past 56 years- dead or alive. From 1970 to present day- anyone, any band. Your pick.

And you choose a modern day boy band. Not a ultra cool, talented band that rocked out in past years. Not some virtuoso with an amazing voice with a string of hits. A generic boy band.

That's what GT3 in Sim racing is. 💩

Not only have Reiza fixed the cut track warnings that used to be a problem at Sebring near pit lane, but the AI here is awesome. Some tracks are better than others and Sebring is peak AMS2 AI.

Also, as has always been the case, this is the most accurate version in any game I've ever played. The bumps (esp in Sunset) are brutal, and they got all the other bumps Sebring is known for too. The layout is spot on. This is a no-holds-barred raw version without any smoothing to make it more friendly. I love it- what a track!

I was watching qualifying and this atrocity started coming up. Sector splits in a new, annoying and jarring display! This has got to go

This would be a fun race series and every week we could evaluate and race a different car. I have converted 60s and 70s cars using freely available tools and AC1 mods. Anyone could do exactly what I did for free. The tool is Evoforge.

I just got motivated and converted a bunch of cars (of varying quality it must be said) I have in my AC1 folder. The quality varies from pretty good to looks like garbage but drives great. Audio is not accurate to the real cars but they all go vroom vroom. I've spent all day weeding out the really bad ones, but they need more testing so we'll do a couple of cars & coffees and cull the herd even more.

P1000 with HBP on brake and throttle pedals in a GT Omega rig with Simsonn VAMPro reactors bolted to the seat. Moza R9 wheelbase.

After I do a race I record it and upload it to YT to see what I can do better or see if there are any issues going on. This issue has actually been going on for at least a month but I didn't catch it until I was watching the onboard of this offline AMS2 Diablo race at Jerez 88. In several older videos, upon review, had this issue too. What I uploaded is my potato phone recording the screen so you can see the problem.

My braking trace looks like I have Parkinson's. The throttle trace is nice and smooth, but the brake trace bounces up and down about 5% or so. Not the worst problem in the world, but in sim racing we're all constantly striving for better. Watch the video and you'll see how jittery the brake input is.

it turned out to be EMI from the VAMPro reactors on my seat. Watch your brake trace in-game, it won't show up in the Simagic software. SimHub actually has a nice graph display from Ace, so you get a better look, but my brake trace was good enough (it's part of the new HUD).

To solve it, I plugged the VAMPro box into a different ppwer outlet. Then I plugged the USB cable directly into my PC (it was in a powered USB hub before) and plugged the pedals into the powered USB hub (I just did the ole' switch-a-roo).

Now the problem is gone. I hope that helps someone down the line

On eBay I found this Dino steering wheel. It's new old stock- from the 90s, but still had the plastic protector on it. It was super cheap because the dude just wanted to get rid of them- he has a lot of them but no storage space. He's in the US if anyone is interested he tried to get me to buy all the rest LOL

I thought it was leather. It's not. I need to.learn to read the description of stuff! That said, I'm glad it's not, I already have leather steering wheels and this one is different. It's rubberized. Weird. But I wanted a Dino for my ever growing collection of different sim racing steering wheels.

I slapped a QR on it and a couple of buttons. The spacing is odd and the 6 holes are oriented differently than my other wheels. This thing is just an oddball. I just say it's got "Italian styling".

The thing that's really cool about this, is that all my other wheels are either leather or suede This is the first that's something different. It's my wheel for the AMS2 Lambo Diablo now. It has a unique kind of tacky tactile feel that is different from all my other wheels which changes the physical feel of that car in the real world and so in the game too. When I drive the Diablo now, it not only drives differently from other cars (which it did before) but it also feels different in my hand.

TL;DR Try different materials when you make your next steering wheel! It changes the car.

I race offline and I use real weather. It adds a level of depth to the racing that I really appreciate and enjoy. But one thing that drives me out of my mind is that it impossible to look at the track and figure out if I should be on wets or slicks.

I had a race a few days ago and it was 40% rain, the track was very wet, spray everywhere and it was raining pretty hard (but no puddles yet). There was a drying line in some places but it was not even close to dry. Just drier than the rest of the track. I started on inters (05 GT2) and at the pitstop switched to wets and after just bled time. That was a bad choice.

So at what point do you choose wets or slicks or inters? In the screenshot above, the track was moist so I started on slicks, the AI choose wets and pitted after 1 lap for slicks 🙄 even the AI doesn't know what to choose!

Before this track came out in AMS2, I only had a handful of laps here on other sims. I never bothered to actually work the track up and do a full race weekend. Now I know this track like the back of my hand because I've done several race weekends here against AI. I really like Hungaroring!

It's made watching F1 this weekend (fre practice) that much more enjoyable. When they talk about the difference corners (esp. the final corner) I'm like yeah, me too! I know exactly where they are in every shot and knowing every camber, every corner and every curb really adds to the enjoyment of watching this.

I looking forward to quali and race that much more 😊 TY Reiza
