Hello guys,
You all have probably discussed AMS2 to dead here in prior threads, but now that it has launched, and knowing many are not Discord kind of people, I wonder who has some appetite to get on board, perhaps do some test races and something else down the road?
Me, personally, still have mixed feelings but it's only been one day, a lot feels just like AMS, I just thought I would ask.
Let me know, perhaps MNRL admin already has plans, would like to hear about'em
Thanks!

Well, the most I've seen on this topic was a post Jason wrote concerning hope for this sim. I haven't gotten it yet, because I'm waiting to see the direction MNRL is going to go sim-wise ( we're probably near the end of using AMS, in my opinion, maybe a season or two more, but I don't make any decisions here). But I'll race with any sim that these guys run, and like you, I'd love to hear the plans (if any).

I finally checked on Steam concerning AMS2, and I've got a few questions and observations. I did notice that the sim is still in (the cheaper) advance purchase realm, 20% lower priced than the final version will be. The graphics seem to be better, the mods essentially the same ones (for now). But I am concerned about their pricing in the future...they have a "bundle" which includes the 2020-21 season, for $100+, and that leads to the first question: is their pricing like iRacing is/was, where you have to pay every year, essentially only renting the sim? Have there been any explorations or tutorials on how to convert tracks/mods used in rF1 for use in AMS2? (heck, if there are ways to convert, we'd be all set for a decade, considering all the rF1 stuff that's available!).
btw, I do have a few other sims that I've never raced, but bought using gift cards (mainly because I don't wish to have more material stuff to take care of -- grin); I've got rF2 (bet track/mod conversions from rF1 would be a breeze, and yeah, Joe, I'd help test), Asseto Competitione, and the basic Race Room. I'm wondering which of these sims are most likely to replace AMS if and when that happens.

I am concerned about the way the tires work and that grip and aero balance is tuned. In pCARS, the more you turned, the more grip you got. From onboard videos I've watched (of the few cars I am interested in) I noticed a lot of "built in understeer" with ever-gripping tires, so you are powering through a corner but the car is not turning itself around despite the power, but it's also slowly understeering through. That is recipe #1 to catering to an "accessible and awesome" feel to provide the casual-more interested drivers, not too dissimilar from DiRT Rally making everyone feel like rally gods.
I would dislike to see Automobilista be retired given what quality content exists for it that is not yet replicated or available in newer/64-bit options. But it's also a matter of what direction the club wishes to go in the spectrum of simracing and accessibility.

Did not see this thread... so I copied my post to here and deleted it.
First Video on AMS 2 that I could bas my decision on...
Quite long so I'm listening to it slowly.
Like he says, his 5 year old PCs barely makes it, changing to AMS2 means a lot more money than just the game.
