Hi chaps
I bought AMS several months ago now having read many favourable comments, and having viewed some splendid YouTube videos, like Niels' talk and drive series, which showcases some very magnificent on-the-limit car control and car behaviour. Impressed by the work Reiza have done on the content they have produced and how they have modernized rf1 so well, I took the plunge and bought most of the DLC too.
I can't get into it though
I find that no matter which car I choose, there is absolutely no feel or predictability when the car is at, or just stepping over the limit. In rf2 I can come back to it after a month away and within 2 minutes I can control slide after slide all the way through certain corners in the BT20s or 60s F1s. I'm not the best driver in the world, but I've been simming for over a decade now, I managed to go green at most GPL tracks, I've played loads of NKPro, GTR2, rFactor 2.
I spent most of yesterday trying different cars round different tracks and playing with the setups, all to no avail. My G27 wheel does a pretty decent job of communicating what's happening in the aforementioned sims, but in AMS I have no feel, even though I have set it up according to normal convention ie with negative force feedback strength, for example.
I was in the Formula Vee at Oulton Park short course, cresting the first uphill bit and turning gently left, when the rear end decided it would slowly but unavoidably trace an arc into the nearside barrier.
Same thing in the F Vintage at Kyalami, the left hander up the hill, T3, is perfect for getting sideways around, yet when I attempt to make the rear break loose a touch, I either understeer through the corner, or the same thing happens as in the F Vee, the rear wheels take charge and decide I'm gradually arcing into the barrier on the inside of the corner, and no opposite lock protestations can avoid it. It's as though only two wheels can slide at once.
Has anybody had a similar experience? I know from the videos I've seen that there are great physics there, but are they hiding behind terrible default setups? Is AMS just not very good with a G27?
Any input would be appreciated because I'd dearly love to love AMS!
Thanks![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
