@@Hani_Santa I have an AccuForce Pro V2 (as does Mike), and I found AMS2 to be very nervous initially - until I was able to calibrate the wheel in-game, and now, most cars are really drive-able and fun to play with on the edge. Initially to me AMS2 felt as if I had a large dead spot in the centre of the steering - it felt almost digital rather than analog - but it was much better after I was able to get my wheel calibrated with it. I've not used a simucube, but I hear they are really good, so I can imagine you must be very disappointed - sorry for that mate.

People should support devs that give them what they ask for. This is where the SMS hate bandwagon can put their money where their mouth is and support a sim using the Madness Engine to it's full potential who give us what SMS wouldn't. Did it have a rocky launch? Yeah. They said there was work to do and that it would be a constantly evolving project. And they're doing that work AND giving players what they're asking for (just compare AMS2 forum posts with patch notes in each update). I'm not being dramatic to say that Reiza now sits up there with CDPR in my book. They may not have released at the same kind of polish level, but they've turned my thoughts around on them for sure. Also, these guys are pretty respectable and humble from what I've seen.

Even for someone who doesn't own the game this is great to watch, great video man, keep it up!

Yes to all of those. I’d add the stock cars. They’re the most fun I’ve had since Toca Touring Cars 🚗

So glad to have you back Mr SimRacing604 - and by the sound of your heart beat @ 0:28 - you sound excited to be back as well (ohhh, that's the background music you say? ; ))) But it's still BLASPHEMY!!! that you left out the SUPER V8 out of your List, hahahaha

My top 5 Super V8 Ginetta GT4 Rocco Puma GT5 Sprint cars -Super Kart - Honorable mention-

The Classics in AMS1 were my favourite. The feel of the Classic V10 & V12 are still great in AMS2, not excactly like AMS1, but very close

Some great pics, Mike. That Sprint Race is probably my favorite car in AMS 2. SO. MUCH. FUN! No one, no one at all , does replay audio like AMS 2. It's so dynamic, and the echoes.... the echoes are amazing!

Another great Video (as Always) Mike. Thank you for all that content, your editing with the replays make it very enjoyable to watch

I'd say my favorites would be the Sigma P2, Ginetta G58 LMP1 and the Formula V10 Gen 2.

(almost) fully agree with your picks and just wanted to say I love your style and content :) Please keep it up, you are truly appreciated! (from Versailles, France)

Great video i pretty much agree with all of your choices and then some. I hope you do a follow-up vid about the tracks but yes thank you for sharing, Great vid 😍😍👍

The Roco 001 is a blast to drive, drove it for hours on Velo Città the other day. I'd also add to this list the Lancer RS, very fun to drive on the throttle and nailing the corners feels very satisfying.

Haha I just played for two hours. The VR is sooo good on this game. Even night time driving works well (which it doesn't with all my other titles). Love it

Good list of cars, several of which appear in no other sim which is my favourite thing about AMS2. Be interested to see another video of your top 5 tracks in AMS2 specifically excluding the mainstay European tracks that are in every sim. There are a couple of great tracks in the Brazilian line up and I have a particular soft spot for the Adelaide street circuit.

Great vid as usual. I myself am a HUGE fan of the StockCars, I keep going back and forth between the 2019 and 2020 versions for my best car in the game...

Damn it Mike! Don't tempt me to buy this game for the third time. I've bought it and asked for a refund 2 times now since the Madness engine fucks with my wheel's registry and messes with the FFB for other games, the brakes lock up as soon as I give them a glance and the view settings are impossible for me to get right. But goddamn those formula cars look like a blast to drive.

What wheel and brakes are you using? I have not had issues with brakes since like the 2nd patch but my work around at the time was just to lower brake sensitivity. They mention this in a few patch notes but you have to delete all your old config folders and just fresh install. It should not be messing with your registry. I've never heard of that but it does not sound fun. I'm using a Fanatec CSW wheel and pedals.

I fully agree with you regarding the Ultima GTR and the Roco 001, prefer the MP4/12C over the MP4/12 and really miss the V10 Gen2 :) Some shots with cockpit view would add even more to the good impressions.

I love Automobilista 2, in VR it's mind blowing!, thank you for the superb video!!!

Great video Mike! Very enjoyable watch. Personally I would drop the Ultima and replace it with the Caterham Superlight (Had some really fun races with MoonieGT and his crew - would recommend!) and probably drop the Sprint Race for the Ginetta which I really enjoy.

I would add the Copa Montana as well. Unique to AMS and very fun to drive.

Excellent cars.

Ultima GTR at Bathurst is amazingly good. Caterham 620r at Cadwell is epic too!

I'm going to try it

I really hope the Multiplayer grows massively in popularity with the ranking system and maybe a dedicated server with scheduled events? I really love this sim but i cant play for that long against the ai im all about multiplayer

The sprint race is the best car to drive across all sims, it's so bloody perfect!! 👍

I hven't played around with the gen 1 too much. There are so many cars and been busy with an interesting boardgame related side project so haven't sim raced in a while. But have you tried the SuperKart? Also known as (translating from Portuguese) "The rich boy's coffin". Do give it a go. It is a blast to drive around and it is one of those Reiza exclusive cars that deserve to be known.

Have you tried the f1 2002 skins for the v10 gen 2 its pretty cool

Automobilista is the only sim racing game I've bought that I'm truly happy with. I don't have the 2nd game because I'm happy with the 1st. I have AC & Raceroom and they don't drive as well as automobilista. How the online servers are not loaded is beyond me. So much interesting exclusive content.

Depends on the Fanatec driver versions. With PC driver 373 and Fanalab 1.47b, AMS2 FFB settings Default/75/20/50/20, I use the following settings in Fanalab: SEN AUTO, FF 50-67 [strength to your taste], DRI -1 [but some cars are more stable with -2], FEI 80, FOR 100, SPR 100, DPR OFF, BLI 90, SHO 50 If DRI could be set to -1.5 that would be a perfect compromise for all cars.

You make nice content but why do I have to watch 4 ads for a 8 minute video?

Came quicker than the Ultima GTR

The cars you mentioned in the video are unplayable in VR (every car here is worse than any car from RF2, Raceroom or AC). Broken driver models because the PC2 driver models dont fit. Rocco is especially awful, your knees are clipping thorugh the middle of the wheel, not enough info on the dash (no gear indicator) etc. There are only a few cars that are acceptable. * I do not remember the formula cars you mentioned here edit: My fav was the F3 with proper dash. as a side note: For real cars the handling is pure fantasy and imagination from data because they do not work with real drivers as far as I know. Not very important, still a point.
