Without wishing to start a discussion up on sim vs sim-ish then this issue could point to the rumours that the physics part of the Madness engine wasnt originally aimed at a fullblown sim - but more aimed at the other one
If I may add something to this tire temp issue then I personally consider the tire temps in AMS2 completely bullocks.
At least in my favorite cars - most modern high dwnforce formula cars.
If you take as example the F-Reiza out on Interlagos historic in TT mode then the tires become hot red after 1-1½ lap - and no change in tire pressure can help on this.
On lap 2 the tires does behave as hot butter (= undriveable).
OK maybe Ill have to eat my own words (partly) conserning the tire temps on Interlagos Historic.
Just to check this issue out on my new favorite car F_Ulti Gen2 I drove one lap(1) in TT mode.
I have to say the competition is very lousy because on my first lap in this car/track combo I topped LB.
But the reason beside bragging to post a pic of the TT LB then the tires after 1 lap was yellow-orange but they wasnt red as I have reported above they were in the F-Reiza.
So maybe this gamish issue isnt as bad as I thought - but I will test it out with some further laps.
CatsAreTheWorstDogs: Yeah yeah mandatory Reiza discriminate me personally by only displaying my setup
OK here I was a little slow to make a screen dump exactly after lap 2 - so the temps/colour was actually a little worse.
But not that bad - I agree.
So maybe its just the F-Reiza that is complete bullocs
