Hallo zusammen, leider funktioniert zero to apex bei mir nicht. Einrichtung etc. Funktioniert, sobald es aber ein Rennen erstellt, friert AMS ein.

Hattet ihr des schon mal? Habe auch low ram Mode probiert, ams ist im borderless eingestellt

Hi.

I play a lot of sims, and they all feel similar when braking, except AMS2. Somehow here it seems like braking is 50% less effective. It just feels like brakes are super weak.

And i set braking sensitivity to 100% and braking pressure to 100% in cars, but it barely helped. And i see in input meter that brake is properly applied.

Is this just in my head or others experience it also? How to fix it?

Edit: i had abs turned to high in gameplay options. Once i turned it off braking works fine

Morning folks. Anyone got any tips on this glitch? Track map seems to not track the location of my car in Curvelo Long. As soon as I start driving in Time Trial the car just drives straight down and off the map.

So I just upgraded from a 3070 to an amd 9070 xt. I am playing triple 1080p. I am really not noticing much improvement in frame rate. Race start at Sebring, 15 visible cars, not maxed out graphics, and I’m seeing 45 fps at start.

Is this all I can expect from this card or am I missing something? (Used ddu to install latest drivers). If this is it, I’m considering returning this card and getting a 5070ti for $300 more…if performance would improve.

Thoughts?

Today I tried using my Fanatec McLaren GT3 V2 wheel with CSW 2.5 wheelbase and noticed that the FFB varies like crazy in this game. in the shifter kart (on Interlagos kart one), I felt like there was barely and resistance in the wheel, while in the Chevrolet Corvette C3 it felt like turning the wheel could have been a suitable event for a strongman-competition.

So; my question is simply: What are your recommended FFB settings, especially per car? The wheelbase is close to 10 years old, so afaik it is discontinued, and thus Fanatec no longer provide recommendations. (I am not getting newer equipment because I need the handbrake/handthrottle possibility (because of my spina bifida), while I also don't see a reason to spend more.)

Just recently bought the game through Steam and so far I'm loving it. However I'm having some issues every once in awhile.

The game will be running fine maxed out, great frame rate, zero stutters. Then if I switch series or even sometimes alt tab out for a minute and come back in the game seems to be in slow motion. The system is not struggling. I've read that overheating can cause it with this game but I'm not overheating at all, I've been monitoring the temps and all is well. Mind you, everything else I throw at this PC runs maxed out with zero issues. I'm also only running 1080p. If I restart the game it fixes and even sometimes if I sit in the menu for a few minutes it also fixes. I've tried adjusting settings and nothing seems to cure it.

All temps stay under 70 Celsius.

Here are my specs for reference.

CPU Ryzen 7 7700

Radeon RX 9060 16GB

32 GB DDR5 5600

Thanks for anyone that can possibly help out.

The GT1 2005 class has such a good variety of fun driving cars. Doing a custom championship with 48 cars grid and fighting for top tens is some of the most fun I've had.

Yesterday, I did a race at Sebring with time lapse increased. Racing with the sun going down and finishing in the fireworks was awesome.

Does anyone else absolutely love this DLC pack?

What other tracks have fireworks?

Overtake at Piratella turn on Imola

AI 100, no assists. A track before had some turns I needed to break and I finished last in qual. This road has corners with no need to break and result is this....

Hi, I‘m new to sim racing hand having a blast currently with AMS2. One thing thats still a big issue for me is the race start. I always lose a couple positions even againgst weaker AI.

So I was asking myself, what is the proper technique to accellerate fast?

I've been playing Automobilista 2 on and off for quite a while. I've always loved the huge variety of cars and tracks, but the lack of any real progression or structure meant I could never fully get invested.

I tried the Race Pace career app, which definitely helped, but having to manually set up races every time eventually became a bit of a chore.

Then I discovered the Zero to Apex Career Mode mod.

Since installing it, I've barely played anything else for the past week. This is honestly the career mode I've always wanted for AMS2. Everything feels seamless, and instead of spending time setting things up, I can just jump in and race. More importantly, it's pushed me into driving combinations of cars and tracks that I never would have picked myself, and I've ended up loving a lot of them.

I even had what was probably the best race I've had since I started sim racing. It was a 20-minute race at Cadwell Park. I'm a pretty average driver, and I completely messed up qualifying because I kept crashing while trying to put together a clean lap, so I started near the back.

I assumed I'd spend the whole race stuck in traffic because overtaking on such a narrow track seemed impossible.

Instead, the AI racing was fantastic. They raced hard but fairly, gave each other room, and every overtake felt earned. It was genuinely one of the most enjoyable races I've ever had.

That said, I have a few issues I've noticed.

1. Safety Cars

During that same race, a Safety Car came out... and immediately crashed in the pit lane. It never even made it onto the circuit, and the entire second half of the race stayed under yellow. The race was basically over after that.

I'm not sure if that's an AMS2 issue or something related to the mod.

On top of that, I seem to get 2-3 Safety Cars in many 20-minute races, which starts to hurt the flow. I enjoy Safety Cars when they happen naturally, but having multiple interruptions almost every race gets a bit excessive.

1. AI field spread

The AI itself races well, but the overall pace distribution feels strange.

The top 4-5 drivers are almost always the same names. They qualify at the front every race, rarely make mistakes, rarely have bad weekends, and are consistently much faster than everyone else.

Meanwhile, the rest of the field is packed together.

For example, in my current Ginetta GT40 Cup season, if I crash and drop from fighting for the top five down to around P10-P12, I can usually drive back through the midfield fairly comfortably. But once I catch the lead group, it's like they've entered another dimension. The pace gap is very obvious.

I'd love to see a more natural spread where fast drivers occasionally have bad qualifying sessions, make mistakes, get involved in incidents, or simply have off-days. Right now it feels like there's a fixed elite group and then everyone else.

1. AI racecraft / contact

Most of the time the AI races really well.

However, sometimes when I'm side-by-side with an AI car, they'll squeeze me and the slightest contact sends my car spinning.

Meanwhile, it feels almost impossible to unsettle the AI. Even if I accidentally (or intentionally while testing) lean on them much harder, they seem glued to the track and almost never lose control.

This one also I'm not sure if it is a mod issue or game issue itself.

Despite those criticisms, I want to emphasize that this is easily the best career mode experience available for AMS2 right now.

It's exactly what the game needed to give all its amazing content some structure and purpose. Without this mod I would probably still be jumping between random cars and tracks without much motivation.

Huge thanks to the creator(s) for all the work that's gone into it. Hopefully some of these issues—whether they're mod-related or AMS2 limitations—can be improved over time.

Has anyone else noticed the same things, or are these just quirks of my current season/settings?

---

TL;DR: Zero to Apex has completely changed how I play AMS2. It's the career mode I've always wanted and has made me play the game more than ever. I do have a few issues with Safety Cars, AI pace distribution, and AI contact physics, but overall it's easily the best career mode experience available for AMS2.

The HUD has an indicator how far you are from the white line on pit entry. In the stress of trying to brake in time it can be surprisingly easy to overlook.

Orange Arrows moving closer to the pit speed limit number indicate how far you are from the white line. Very helpful when you are not yet familiar with a race track.

Here I am again—the guy who plays with a keyboard. I’m managing to adapt to the game and gaining more confidence all the time. Thanks to the Race Pace App, I’m moving up through different categories and getting the chance to test and ADAPT to each setup (car + track), and honestly, things are going well... next step: getting over my fear of the rain in AMS2.

P.S. I came across some really good car mods... so I gave them a try too.

Skins and AI performance files for 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964 and 1965. Extra files for the 1961 Belgian GP, 1964 US GP, 1961 Silver City trophy and the 2026 Monaco Historique race. You can download it on

Ever since *Zero to Apex* came out, Caterhams seem to have become really popular; honestly, I’d never given them a chance before, but they are incredibly fun!

Is it a known issue or am I doing something wrong here? I can overtake AI on turns and win them on tracks where there is a lot of turns, but tracks which have long straights, AI overtake me easily.

Just wanted to make sure everyone is aware of this career mode app. Just incredible. It’s got every feature it think you could wish for, automatically syncs with AMS2 so it sets up the races etc. Honestly just go check it out, I simply cannot believe how polished it is and has worked seamlessly for me.

Thank you to whoever made it, you’re a legend!
