AMS (Automobilista)

well we will find out tomorrow

 

Yeah indeed. Have to admit that I was a bit dissapointed when we didn't get the beta update last Friday. But I'm over it now.

 

I just got mail from Reiza it is gonna be today .. wonder whose today it is gonna be .. I guess guys in Brazil gonna hage nice evening

 

So it should be in by the time I wake tom

 

Yeah the sounds are amazing. There are sounds for everything you do (braking, shifting. Shifting is much louder in AMS which i love) and from everything on the car. It really adds immersion and you "hear" what the car is doing. They did really well on this. And even if there were no brake squeal, just hearing a brake pedal being pushed adds to the feeling a lot. Im a junkie when it comes to sounds and its one of the biggest things for immersion.

 

Yeah I got that mail too but I kinda thought that maybe it came a day too early. Wouldn't mind to get Caterhams today tho that's for sure.

 

Nils is streaming live, doing chitchat.

 

Well I just started the download of ams and the season pass, I hope it is as good as everyone says. The main reason is that I really don't like the way that ac feels after this last update, I wish I could roll back to the previous version. I really enjoyed this sim before but now it has lost all of its appeal.

 

AMS is among my favorite titles for several reasons and the car-handling and FFB are certainly a couple of them. AMS FFB conveys under-steer in a more gradual way, the build-up of resistance prior to grip loss can take a little time to tune into but, it definitely works great with the tire sounds to convey what's happening.

 

Man that sounds just like what I am looking for, sounds good.

 

AMS is just the best overall package, period. Great physics, good selection of cars and tracks. ( And yes,I do count the brasillian tracks as a plus! Ads to the challenge. )
Lastly Reiza got the ffb refined. Feeling of understeer is top notch here.
But I do not feel the connection, I do feel instantly in AC.
Nevertheless, AMS is the first contender. Loving both.

 

You took the right decision.
Use this for crystal clear graphics :

nvidia :

Antialiasing mode - Override application settingsAntialiasing setting - 8x MSAntialiasing transparency multisampling - enabledAntialiasing transparency supersampling - 8xSparse Grid supersamplingAnisotropic filtering mode - user defined/offAnisotropic filtering setting - 16xTexture filtering negative LOD bias - clampTexture filtering quality - high quality


Then in configuration tool :

Thanks liakjim.

 

@Derrellbiffle you might check the thread i made when AMS beta started with some tips and things that might not be obvious at first . http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/ams-hints-tips-and-things-you-might-have-missed.118300/

 

Will do

 

Well said but, I'd have to say I feel a bit more "connected" to the virtual car in AMS; that may have to do with how the sounds are so well integrated into the physics and the FFB.

In regard to under-steer feeling, AC has a distinct "drop-off" of resistance and AMS has more of a "build-up" of resistance that serves to provide an early warning for under-steer; the AMS way gives more margin resulting in improved driver input IMO.

 

Personally I attribute that to simply the need to deprogram oneself from the expectations laden by a long standing love for one sim when moving to try out another, particularly when you're approaching it with high expectations. I include this proviso even years into ownership of both sims.

My default and most beloved is AMS. I say everything about AMS that most people around here say about AC above other sims. In part I think its almost entirely legitimate on my part and most here share that. I however feel that sense of connection immediately with it and in new cars I don't know I am far more comfortable pushing them in a fast racey way than in AC. AC has taken me nearly 2 years to learn to truly love and it took sucking it up and really driving it hard and exclusively for tens of hours. Finally it breathed to life for me and I'm sure when I go back to AMS I'll be missing something I feel in AC, but only briefly.

I firmly believe they're both worth every minute you spend in them but its hard to navigate them both, kind of like being in love with two women at once. You'll always feel a bit more loyal to the first one you kissed (I know, terribly douche baggy analogy lol).

 

To me it's like this:

AC for pure driving pleasure, AMS for the offline racing fix.

Both are great, and well worth having then in your collection.

 

This feels a bit funny when you think that the whole community have played pretty much only rFactor-based titles for the last + 10 years. Not sure where we should "deprogram" ourselves from..?

That wasn't any statement regarding AMS or AC. Just an observation.

 

yep but AMS doesn`t feel anything like rF1 ... just like GTR2 or GTR Evo didn`t feel like it ... quite big difference in terms of driving feel, physics, FFB .. I always hated driving in rF1, yet all three mentioned isiMotor based games are great for me .. AMS currently being on top .. we will see what will new studio do with rF2 but till than ...
