While it's nothing new, I have noticed a lot of people aren't aware of the amazing AMS2 Content Manager by Paoloambrosio on Race Department. It really is as simple as drag and dropping in your downloaded mods!

Thanks for uploading this I am useless at doing anything on the pc but this as helped me out I would see clips on ams2 and people using mods but seemed to complicated to mess about downloading this downloading that to get it all working but following your clip was a breeze now I have the full btcc liveries and drivers for the mini championships. Can't thank you enough made ams2 a totally different experience. Thanks again have a great day mate cheers

Easy as grabbing a slice of pizza, thank you. I need most of the cars and tracks from PC2 and I'll be ecstatic. The tracks in AMS2 have the same names, but different layouts like Monza driving me crazy. I downloaded Bannochrae and is a PC2 direct and shows as MOD, It would be nice if the cars did the same. Thanks again

Thx for video I'm only new to ams2 that helps greatly. 1. So the mod cars say from PC2 do they slot into corresponding series in ams2 and race against ams2 cars no problem ? 2. what about the ams2 cars on pcs tracks how does AI act ?

@AdamsSIMporium 8 ай бұрын

Hey glad it helps. Mod cars get separate series in AMS2, they aren't mixed together with default cars. They seem to run just fine on the mod tracks too, unless the recent 1.5.3 update changed that at all. I can't try now, waiting for a pedal part :(

@antoniosvigkas4705 10 ай бұрын

Hey Adam I was wondering what difference would be between crystal and reverb g2 and if it would justify the upgrade cost. Cheers

@AdamsSIMporium 10 ай бұрын

Crystal is better visually, higher PPD and I feel slightly better FOV, and better black levels, but of course at a high cost. If I was given both, I'd absolutely choose the Crystal, and because I not exactly financially sensible when it comes to VR, I'd still choose the Crystal if I was buying either lol. It's very subjective if the extra cost is worth it to you. If you want the best visuals, it's the Crystal, plus you can upgrade to base station tracking in future too. You could always wait a little longer, if the Quest 3 has the Pro lenses it may be worth considering, and hope for more news on the Somnium soon (though that will be even more expensive), and of course there's the Bigscreen. MY very personal opinion is that the Crystal is a nice upgrade to the G2, but you may upgrade then disagree and blame me lol. So my vote is yes, but check out other reviews too, which I'm sure you're no doubt doing.

@walterswdf2 10 ай бұрын

I installed the CM, two tracks (Rouen and Mojave), and a Mazda RX-7. Works seamlessly. The problem, though, is that in hotlap mode, the PC2 tracks invalidate at the beginning of every lap, as if I've gone off in the last sector. ("Current and next lap will not count," or words to that effect.) In practice/training mode, the timing works fine. Odd.

Sure, so first go to the Project Cars Modding Team link in the description. At the top of that page you have "DOWNLOADS - AUTOMOBILISTA 2" for cars, and "AMS2 TRACKS" for the tracks. Find what you want and click download. Once downloaded, drag in to AMS2 CM and click apply. Remember to download the Trees Fix at top of tracks list. The second link, Automobilista 2 - Modding, click on "# Download Folder #", then Thunderflash mods, and you will see all his car packs available too.

Sadly reports on Steam is that mod car engine sounds no longer work since this week's 1.5.5 update, the one that includes the Le Mans DLC. They're saying that the people that created these mods will need to tweak them in order for the sound to work with this major new update. Hopefully a solution or workaround can be found, as I doubt that every one of these fabulous mods will be reworked by their creators.

@@AdamsSIMporium Correct, I finally managed to install them and they indeed do work. Only one small issue with a 3.5L Renault (that resembles a F1 car) has an odd sound when revying the engine.
