AMS2 and TAA - custom sharpness using ReShade

I am always trying to make AMS2 to look better, when I’m supposed to be improving my driving skills. I run the game on a 4k TV with HDR using RenoDX. I have Supersampling set to Low and TAA enabled with 125 sharpness. Just now I’ve started to experiment turning off the game TAA sharpness and replacing it with ReShade sharpness add-on. The one that I like the most is the quint_sharpen as it also fixes up the contrast.

Has anyone experimented with similar scenarios? If so, what is your preferred way of adding clarity to the game? I am very open to suggestions, even ones that would completely change the antialiasing methods, for the best of course.

Update: turn in game sharpness to OFF (or 0) and in ReShade addon download lillium pack and use Lillium Robust CAS (adaptive sharpening) at its default settings. I never thought the game can look this good! This is for HDR panels and works incredibly well with RenoDX!

Ambient lighting for sim racing!

Hello everyone! I have been seeing a lot of videos lately about people introducing ambient lights to their rigs so I wanted to join the race! Unfortunately for me there are a few discrepancies that I notice with installation… if we take Govee for example, some say I need a control box and some run their lights without one. My question is simple and hopefully someone can help! Do I need to have the lights plugged into PC or simply having them appear on Govee App (mobile and desktop) is enough. Do I need to install the two additional apps like Razer or does SimHub now recognizes Govee app and eliminates the need for other apps? Also noticed that there is a new plugin from Bruno that automates the process so really excited to see that in action!

Which sim racing game has the best visuals in 2026?

I’m mainly interested in graphics, lighting, weather effects, HDR, and overall realism. Out of all games which one do you think looks the most realistic and why? Curious to hear your opinions and maybe discover something I’ve overlooked.

Can aluminum profile crack under pressure?

I have the GT Omega Prime rig that I upgraded with Track Racer front mounting wheelbase tray. The rig posts are wider than tray width by about 1 inch so the gaps were showing during install. Once tightened the gaps disappeared but there is a slight bent in tray sides that I’m afraid might snap or crack under constant pressure. Is this something to be concerned about or it’s normal for such things to be?

Front mounting Moza wheelbase

Has anyone front mounted a Moza wheelbase? I can’t find anything for mine (R16 v2) regarding size of the bolts for the front holes. I only have m6 and m4 at home and m4 is small and m6 feels big but doable if I force it (but don’t want to force it cause what if it’s m5). The question is what bolt did you use when front mounting your Moza base. FYI my manual does not have this info, I’ve checked.

Help finding a fun car class

I’ve been grinding the GT3 gen 2 for a while, tried the formula but can’t really get a good roll with it. What other classes should I try and what makes them fun?

AMS2 AI update or am I just bad at this game?

Before the most recent update (the one with Renault) I was racing at 103-105 difficulty. After the update I’m struggling to keep up at 100. Did AI change in any way?

Also, always wanted to know what you guys race at difficulty wise. I have been racing for about a year now with AMS2 for about 6 months. Am I really bad at it if my difficulty is this low?

Edit: thanks everyone for your feedback! It’s great to know devs are making the game better and better!

2Real traffic and NoHesi

It seems that having 2Real traffic mod is conflicting with NoHesi traffic. I tried looking for FAQ on patreon or Reddit but can’t find any info. Whenever I go on NoHesi the cars act weird and spawn glitch. I feel that it’s related to the 2Real mod installed. Is there a way to tweak it or stop it completely? What is the proper way of handling this situation? I like the mod but I also like NoHesi 😅

AC pp filter Pure is best?

So I have tried paid versions of C13 Aegis, Imagined Visuals, and Exilitay, and I always come back to basic Pure PP filter as I find it looks the cleanest. It actually looks so well done straight out of the box, no need to tweak anything. Is this normal or am I just not configuring the other PP filters correctly? I am using the HDR monitor with HDR in Windows but I turn HDR off in AC through the DXGI section.

Help! How to mount Buttkicker Gamer Pro to seat?

Can someone please help with advice on how to mount Buttkicker Gamer Pro to seat on a 8040 rig? Mounting to the sim rig itself is not helpful, I want it under seat for full vibrations without rattle. Please help!

New seat suggestion with buttkicker gamer pro

Looking for some seat recommendations for my sim rig (8040).

I currently have GT Omega Prime rig with a GT style seat, recline but no angle adjuster and have ButtKicker Gamer Pro attached to the bottom of it with a steel bracket but it’s not doing a great job in transferring vibrations. I’m looking for a seat that works well with it. I’d prefer something that has a solid mounting area and transfers vibrations effectively.

One thing that’s important to me is seat angle adjustment. I’m not just looking for a reclining backrest, I’d like to be able to adjust the overall seating angle or base angle as well.

If you’re running a similar setup, I’d really appreciate hearing what seat you’re using. Pictures of your mounting solution and seat setup would be extremely helpful too.

Thanks in advance!
