Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that over the past year, the prices on Bandcamp for digital releases have skyrocketed? For example, Sa Pa is selling their latest EPs for £10, and the EP only has four tracks. Vril recently released a single track that costs €2.50 for less than 5 minutes of music. There are plenty of other examples. You used to be able to buy a full LP for £10.

Has inflation hit here too?

Hi, I'm very new to AMS2, and my first impressions are highly positive.

However, I wanted to ask about rear traction. No matter what car I drive (RWD, FWD, 4WD), sometimes a Porsche handles better than, for example, a Volkswagen (RWD vs FWD). I feel like the car just wants to spin out. To be more specific, it happens during acceleration when exiting a corner, the car wants to spin out, and it's heavily oversteering. Once I get into a slide, it's extremely difficult for me to recover.

I'm not sure if this is an issue with the car setup, the game's physics, just my skill level, or maybe it's normal.

Are there any ways or tips to get this under control?

Edit: This game is so cool! I'm mostly a singleplayer, and finally, there's AI that I can really race against, fight for position, and everything. Moving from AC to AMS (in terms of AI) is day and night :)

And when you change the date to autumn, for example, and the trees lose their leaves and the grass fades, it completely blows my mind

Does anyone happen to have any news about the update? I'm not on Discord, the other socials are quiet too, and there hasn't been a Q&A like usual, so I'm not sure if I missed something.

I have a genuine question about AI development in racing games. Maybe someone here has experience with game programming and​ can explain this to me.

Why is it so difficult to make racing bots? Kunos did a OK job with the AI in ACC. So why does the AI in the ACE feel dumber than in a game released years ago?

Also, is it possible for developers to implement something like Gran Turismo's Sophy AI in titles like ACE, or is that tech locked down?

Would love to hear some technical insights on this!
