AMS2 is underrated

I agree. Just got it this week and am extremely impressed with the immersion. I love it.

Lfm and AMS2 would be amazing and I'd definitely give it more time. I'm seriously loving lfm and AC in the touring cars atm.

PC2 and now AMS2 do not syncronize the track conditions between the several people in a multiplayer section. You could be driving on a drying racing line and other still have a wet track.

It's incredible, loving it. AMS2 is going to have a big 2024.

They are working on physics every patch. I think soon AMS2 will have great physics.

I've been with the project since day one, and yes it's improving, but I think it's clear we're pretty much where the sim is going to be physics-wise. It's incremental from here on out until we get AMS3. It's costly, but Reiza really needs another engine.

Love AMS2 !! Only recently reinstalled it, have not tried it for over a year, it's fantastic now, handling is great and fun but one thing I like is how the steering feels, very communitive and you can really feel what the cars are doing...love your content Dave !!

There will be the same people commenting on this vid that are seen in every single AMS2 KZread video saying it's too easy, too slidey, and the multiplayer sucks. Move on lads, if you are not enjoying it now, you will never enjoy it. Like Dave says at the end of the video, it's a lot of fun. And most of us play games to have fun. AMS2 brings the fun, end of story. Don't care how realistic it is, the odds of me driving one of these cars is about the same as me winning the lottery. If you really want to be punished by a game, go play iRacing ( yes, it's still a game ) and get your masochistic tendencies satisfied there:).

I bought AMS2 after one of your videos a few years back. Loving the LMDH cars. Nicely done again!

to answer your question I would not race AMS2 on lfm. I just see AMS2 as the sim i come to when i want to relax from competitive online racing and I just relax and race vs ai

The ai does race better than a majority of online players, a tad too aggressive sometimes but it's fun.

Nice Dave! I’d like to see ams2 grip up with a tad less slide as well. For my taste and setup rf2 or ac still ‘feels best’. But ams2 easy to jump in, looks great, historic f1, lots of other pros. 😊

A good one, I really enjoyed watching it. 💪 The weather transitions and all that really stand out, the gameplay is great too. AMS2 became my go to fun racer! Not saying it’s not challenging… Later, Dave… 👋

AMS2 keeps getting better with each update, this is no exception. I missed the first week due to having the plague, but the few days this week I've played the new update have been amazing. I need more practice with the 963 to avoid locking up, but otherwise it's a good fun time.

Love this dlc. Ran an open lobby '2.4 Heures de Mans' on Sunday, had one join, and the rest of the field was AI and it was a blast 😁👌🏼

They said LFM is either not compatable with how servers work with AMS or the multiplayer still has too many issues. Still, we got it on Assetto Corsa which is great, cheap, and, in my opinion, is a better game with better physics, more content and better force feedback than Assetto Corsa Competizione

Another great video Dave. Keep em coming. AMS2 looks absolutely fantastic but during night time you can a lot of aliasing on the cars in front in this video. If you have the computer for it, I suggest turning MSAA OFF and use use POST AA and SUPER SAMPLING instead.

I got a nice jump in fps with MSAA off as well.

Finally. I found the sim that does the best weather transitions 😆

I'm loving AMS2 with Le Mans DLC and I have only tried the GTE3 Vette so far.

That looked ever so challenging mate. Nice handling

Enjoyed watching you drive! AI seem good now.

Since i got the new Update, i drive only Le Mans. No other tracks. I can't get enough of!!! AMS2 is brilliant!!!! It's so realistic and makes so much fun. I hope they change the maximum value of cars.

I absolutely cannot wait to get back into ams2 once I replace my pc and rig. Binge watching for now

I'm glad you brought up Day to Night transitions. That is something that iRacing and LFM are BADLY lacking. Setting a 30 min race to 48X time, particularly something like Daytona road course, Spa or Le Mans, is infinitely more entertaining than the stagnant Set Time they do now. There are so many tracks that have great transitions, but we will never see then in their ranked races.

I agree. AMS2 and LFM and I’m in.

Awesome mate . Could never get away with AMS2 might have to give another another go

Racecraft do AMS2 races. I thought the content was free, not just a trail. I've bought the Track coz I love it and the Bugatti layout, but considering the Endurance Pack is PT1 I think I'll wait to see how many parts there are and if Reiza will release a combined pack that will be cheaper than buying the individual releases.

If they can improve the grip in AMS2, and sort multiplayer out, then it's got a really good chance of gaining new followers. I know every SIM drives differently, but for me, AMS2 drives completely different to any other SIM, so if they could close that gap and bring the driving experience and grip levels closer, I'd be happy. Although, hardcore AMS2 fans will tell you that AMS2 has the most realistic physics of all the racing SIMS.

AMS2 has the best AI and official retro content out of all mainstream sims. And I definitely don't want to see AMS 2 become yet another GT3 lfm racer. I'd rather see Reiza work on more retro content and implement a proper solo career, something similar to PC2.

Definitely agree it needs a good multiplayer such as lfm

Gotta try the thunder flash mods, he’s got the GTO class with the f40LM so much fun to drive

This game with my Pimax crystal in VR is jaw dropping

It still cracks me up that a single player game without driver swaps has an endurance pack.

A couple of things Dave, first of all love the vid, but was wondering if you change anything in the set ups? Plus do you always prefer to drive with the steering wheel and arms showing on the car you driving?

There are controls you can map for dialling down the FFB strength on the fly - can''t recall what it is called at the moment. Did you turn the lights on or were they on the whole time, the fact that the wheel was illuminated, which happens when you turn on the lights, and it looks really good in the game, led me to believe they were on to begin with...

LFM integration should be number 1 priority! I love the game but I don't play it as much because single player is no fun. I really don't understand how is that possible that it's out for 3+ years and there is still no proper multiplayer IN A RACING GAME???

Still looks like the cars in AMS2 use cross ply tyres with how much the back moves around even on downforce cars.

I think AMS2 if fantastic as a light hearted sim racer. But they need to fine tune the tyre grip because sometimes it feels like a lottery, you dont know if you are going to understeer or overtsteer or what.

It might happen. Reiza has stated that one of the big areas they will be focusing on is online gameplay. So who knows.

Still sont like the drive feels , RF2 is my go to

The Madness Engine is a beauty ever since Project CARS it's been creating great visuals, hopefully this won't be the last game produced using it. But since the purchase by Codemasters and then EA the studio seems to be dead, no updates since they announced they'd stopped production of the next Project CARS :(

Hi Dave, absolutely love your videos. Would like to ask a question, are you still using the simlab pedal, if not is there a reason? Going to get some new pedals and really can't make my mind up, fancy the simlab but nobody seems intersted in them.

To be fair, the weather is pretty much the same as Project Cars 2, and with all the flaws that game had, the madness engine has always been amazing if we talk about immersion and VR. Reiza is "just" pushing it to show its true potential.

would love it when LFM would host AMS2 races. Hope Reiza fix that bad behaviour in the near future

Dave are you still on the Asetek? If so how’s it been so far?

It's a shame that LFM wasn't able to make it work server wise. AMS2 would definitely take off if it ever happens

Project Cars 2 walked so AMS2 could run.

I have same thoughts about the driving, is very very good after last update until you stay under the limit. But when you reach the limit the car is too easy and forgiving to drive, there's absolutely no thrill of the edge and this makes the experience somewhat dull. This is the only complaint i still have about AMS2, i hope will be fixed

Yeah, the margins for safety "at the limit" are so wide, that it actually gets distracting for me. There's many times, say when driving a high downforce car up to and over the mountain at Bathurst that there's a "Hand of God" keep the car stable.

First 😂 Edit after watching the video: I see we agree it has the best visuals as well as weather/transition engine out there. AI is improved but still way worse than the one in iRacing. How about physics Dave? I used to play ams2 a lot and then I moved to iRacing and only now, after year and a half I went back to ams2 to check those hybrids and I feel like they didn’t improve physics at all during those 18 months… I know there were changes communicated couple of times throughout but I just don’t feel it - how about you Dave?

AMS2 is fun in an ‘arcady’ way and not fun in a satisfying nailing driving technique way. If AMS2 was just a bit less playful at the limit it would be good for the overall feel of the sim.

AMS2 has indeed come a long way, but, unfortunately the online aspect of it is really not anywhere near where it should be. They did say they were gonna fully focus on it this year, but only time will tell

the glow at rear braking light is AWFULL, arcadish at extreme

AMS is the new Forza. Sad to see Reiza falling from developing one of the best physics engine to developing glorified eye candy

Shame about the physics in general!

Ya ya. Why are all the track lights off? Its the ONE thing forza MS does right. This track is dark and fake.
