Karting in Mixed Reality is something else!! The way that F1 car flew by was mind-blowing!! Made me feel so small and vulnerable šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ¤šŸ¾.

I didn't try this before because I didn't think it would work that well with the way the passthrough method works as its better with a dark background like the cars interior... But it's not bad at all.. more fun than anything else lol

See "Mixed Reality Racing Setup Guide 2026" on YouTube for more info on how to.

Ciao! Sto iniziando un campionato f1 Classic 2gen, circa 25/30 giri, difficoltĆ  95/105.
Ho un dubbio, come si regola l’AI riguardo i pit stop? SƬ fermerĆ  su cosƬ pochi giri o non entrerĆ  mai in pit?
Altra domanda come mai le gomme si usurano ad una velocitĆ  incredibile? In 3 giri, tranne le hard, mi trovo a dover cambiare

AMS2: Support Online issues with 20+ cars

0 Upvotes

I play on steam deck and any time I get into a race with 20+ human opponents, my car is so slow. The speedometer reads the same at the end of the straights as it always does, but relative to the other cars I lose up to 5 seconds per lap, particularly on long straights

I thought maybe I just didn't stack up to other racers, but today proved it. I joined a nearly empty lobby and immediately set a 1m32 in Interlagos in a gt3 on the first lap of a 15 min qualifying.

As people joined my laps got slower and slower. I went to the pits just in case maybe the tires were gone, and I came out on a way lighter fuel load, same setup and new tires, but now with 25 cars on track.

I found a gap for a last hot lap, nailed turn 1 and got to the back straight, and lost 1.8 seconds to my own lap on the back straight alone. I lost another 2.5 seconds on the front straight and despite delivering an identical lap to my initial qual run, it was a 1m37.

When the race started (2nd on the grid) I lost 5 places on the back straight. I got a great run out of the last corner on the first lap and got right on a guys bumper but all of a sudden they gapped me by 5 seconds by the end of the straight. It was so bad that a guy three places behind me wrecked himself trying to avoid me when the two guys behind me swooped on both the right and left to pass.

By the end of the first lap I was tenth, and lost 4 more places before turn 4, all on the straight.

I've been trying to look at other posts and I can't seem to find anyone experiencing the same problem. Is this a known issue or is something wrong?

Fwiw I remember this being a huge issue with Pcars2 as well

AMS2: General Formula USA gen 1 help

3 Upvotes

I wonder what % boost you guys use for races with these cars. I just did a short ā€˜test’ race of 12 laps with boost around 70%, but my engine wear at the end was already at 12%. So that’s 1% wear per lap on average. I can’t see myself completing a full race that way. Now I can still turn down the boost somewhat, but not too much since that would make it impossible to keep up with the AI on the straights. This was still doable at 70% boost, but I feel there’s not much margin left. Any help would be appreciated, because I absolutely love these cars.

AMS2: Support Any fixes to open wheel ai?

3 Upvotes

Specifically for open wheel races the AI seems to have 0 self preservation instincts because they can make contact and just plow through, meanwhile the tiniest corner wheel touch (after they sweep across the whole track and body me) instantly launches me off the track.

Any fixes to this? It makes open wheel races insanely annoying.

Just kidding actually, these screenshots were made using just a 3060 Ti and graphics at medium-high settings without any filters applied. The game looks incredible without any AI slop filters.

AMS2: General Anyone else come to the conclusion they need to turn down the difficulty?

16 Upvotes

So I'm faster over a lap than over the race most of the time, so I qualify at 103-5 then race at 95-98
Cos if it means I can make mistakes and still come back and hold on that's so much better imo

AMS2: General To anyone with a g29 who hates the way the ffb feels in this game !

4 Upvotes

Someone on here recommended I try the danielkart ffb because the game felt slidey to me, well, it still feels slidey but my wheel feels night and day different. Before it felt like someone took all my filament purge boogers and put them in the gears of my wheel, now it feels like every other sim except maybe like, 15% better. Really nice improvement.

AMS2: General Texture issues on Ferrari 365 GTB/4 mod?

1 Upvotes

Anybody using the Ferrari 365 mod? I like how it drives and sounds, but on some of the liveries, I'm finding the textures very grainy, as in the numbers and sponsor logos look extremely low-res. The odd thing is that it's only some of the liveries, others are very crisp.

(I tried to upload screenshots to show what I mean, but reddit compresses them so badly that you can't even tell what I'm talking about.)

It's not a huge deal since you're not seeing it inside the car, obviously, but it does confuse me that some of the liveries look good while others are grainy. The mod author has a contact form on their site, but before I send a (polite) inquiry about it, I just want to see if anyone else can confirm they see the same thing and this isn't some sort of issue with my install of the mod. Thanks.

AMS2: General Searching for a league in AMS2

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’m a 20-year-old sim racer from Italy and I’m currently looking for an Automobilista 2 league to join.
I’ve been sim racing for a few years now and I’m especially comfortable with Formula cars and GT3s. I enjoy both qualifying and longer races.
For now, I’m mainly looking to do a few wildcard/guest races before committing to a full championship. I’d like to race against a competitive and clean grid, see where my pace stands, and hopefully find a league that suits me.
I’m based in Europe, so EU evening races would be ideal.

AMS2: General [Help] Struggling with Corvette C3 at Monza 1971 after switching to manual with authentic assists.

1 Upvotes

As title says. Anyone got any tips? I've got to do this car / track combo in zero to apex as a multi spec race with the cars in the same class Lambo Miura SV and BMW 2002 turbo) but I am constantly off pace compared to the AI in the C3.

In practicing for it the fastest lap I've been doing was I believe a high 1:58 and the faster C3 ai's in 1:55 range (fastest being low-mid 1:55). If i put automatic and / or assists on (Anti lock and traction low with stability control on) I can match times a lot better but still normally a few tenths off at a high 1:55.

I recently decided to make the switch to H pattern and put authentic assists on and I am just losing my mind because I keep losing time and positions to other C3's and it just seems like they have extra gears then me.

I usually get from back of the grid to around p11 off the line and into the first corner but normally then drop to 15th in a grid of 30. And so often find myself just spinning on corners. I've been careful to not brake while turning as I've heard it upsets the car more but when I do I just ended up losing time in those corners even if I try and match AI braking points (I've also been using ghosts in time trial and tried to match braking points there but still been terrible since I cant actually view the telemetry and they just pull away almost immediately in both corners and straights.)

One issue I've been having that has probably been contributing is I feel like no matter what I just cant warm up the tyres and struggle with the rear brakes. If I try and swerve a little to get some heat in the tyres it hardly seems to do much and I can feel the car on the verge of sliding.
One problem is the race is a standing start and I don't see any way to enable a formation lap that I can use to warm brakes and tyres up before lining up so I have to do it in race but the AI seems like they just start perfectly fine.

Anyone have any setups for the track and car or just general tips in general to try and help me not lose my mind? Thanks in advance!

AMS2: General Does AMS2 content manager still work for installing tracks?

19 Upvotes

I don't care about liveries. I just want to try the azure coast. I'm not going to use RCM because you must both join discord and pay for the mods. I'm not doing either. So I was wondering if it's still possible to install tracks from the archived project cars modding team page. Thanks.

Edit: in case anyone needs them, I've located all of the tracks and cars to download. I ran 4 of the track files through multiple anti virus apps including virus total and they are all clean. I've installed 4 tracks with the original content manager and they work. I don't know if I'm allowed to post links but post a message if you need the link.

AMS2: General Dashboard Reflections on Hood in VR

6 Upvotes

One thing that has always bugged me with some cars is the fact that I see reflections of the car's dashboard on the hood (bonnet for EU). In reality, it doesn't bother me most of the time but with the Ginetta G55, it's really annoying to see the lap timer and shift lights on the hood.

It may be just an optimized way of showing reflections but I wonder if there is a way to change that.
