just wanted to say thanks for posting this video. ive been having a problem where i kept being disqualified on the 14th lap. regardless of entering the pits and thought it was a bug. well now i know its no. The default was causing. as i was unaware this area even exisited. Ive now used your guide and setup several pit stops and am able to set them as and when i want. i can get on and enjoy the game now ( again) . thanks for posting it was a game chnager for me.
If it's anything like the project cars 2 pit strategy system (which it very much looks like) there are a few tricks. 1) NEVER! choose recommended for tyres, the pit crew will not change the tyres unless they are completely destroyed..even if you use the incar menu to select tyres. 2) editing the default pit strategy will match pressures to the currently loaded setup, It's always best to remake a strategy before each race this way. 3) repairing engine damage takes ages, turn it off if you need to repair engine damage use the in car menu to turn it back on on your in lap.
when the game gets more popular there will be more lobbies and more lobbies with mandatory pits. so yeah, set a tires only strat and you will be good to go. just make sure to QC the pressures.
Love AMS2 lately! Can mandatory pit stop be selected for custom champ timed races eventually? Currently I need to use lap races (calculate how many laps is ~20mins) and force a pit stop (but 5ai were dq’d when they didn’t pit @ Goiânia External🤔). Tried accelerated fuel or 3x but either 1 or 2 ai would not pit or in the latter some ai would pit 2x (one “stop” being just a drive through no stop). 20min, Custom 2022 Stock Car Pro Series, 29 drivers (120 difficulty/100aggression) Anyway that sums up my weekend of extensive testing :) Keep up the amazing work, games been a lot of fun!
Great video 27. But, you didn't mention the Pit Menu Bug. Players need to know about this. Simply, if you try and access the Pit Strategy Menu in an online race, there is a random good chance that your game will crash to desktop. This has been reported as a bug many times... It is therefore essential, when in multiplayer, to set your pit menu adjustments early, so you still have time to rejoin if you crash. NEVER try and access the Pit Strategy Menu after quals have finished. Happy racing!
Nice vid steel. Voice controlled would be best. For me in VR it’s nearly impossible to change pit strategies during the race. The only voice command I can confirm is „fuel to end“ from Crew Chief. But this is the less needed as you said too.Would be interested If there are more possible than this ( with other tools)?! The easiest way would be to create: Pit strategy1 - Pit strategy 2 - ...
Harald, try Voice Attack, it's a must with VR! I originally used it for VR flight simming, can't do without. Now I use it for AMS2 as well. Takes an hour or two to set up, but it's worth it, promise. I use it for roll bar adjustments, seat position, changing views, volume control/mute (very handy if wifey wants to interrupt your race!) and much more... Voice Attack is free for a single profile and around 12$(?) for unlimited profiles.
With the upcoming Real Weather and probably far more unsuspected weather-changes coming I hope, that some time we can just set the pressures on 'default', so the strategies work for all cars. Just for a mandatory pitstop it's not needed to change tyres, so better have a strategy for doing nothing at all. At least that can be used universal.
This is really helpful. That tire pressure feature, and how it functions, must have ruined a few races for me because I just assumed the pressure would be correct for the current car. Explains why sometimes switching to wet tires made the car worse. Now I'm wondering if you can potentially have tire pressures completely beyond the range given in the tuning menu. For instance, very low Formula car pressures in a road car.
there is no real optimal pressures, for any cars. you have to base the contact patch off of the IMO temps of the tires. generally there are two schools of thought with wet tire pressures. one that says lower pressure for more grip, another that says optimal pressures, but that's hard to keep ahead of in changing conditions. I haven't done much wet testing, but I usually keep them the same as dry and haven't had problems. usually they turn out to be under pressured, but that's good for grip.
Me before watching this video: "The AMS2 pit strategy is clunky and a bit of a disaster. I don't understand anything." Me after watching this video: "The AMS2 pit strategy is clunky and a bit of a disaster. At least 27 made me understand it."
or voice...the worst case scenario is you have to adjust a strat, so its always best to have pre-sets ready with your optimal one enabled when you start the race. and do it on a straight...lol
Yeah, I've never been able to even switch to a different strategy mid race without crashing. Which means have several weather slots is a feature the goes unused by me at least.
Finally got around to watching this, If I have tyres set to recommended (not "all") and they're not worn enough will they still get replaced? Was in the GTL race on monday night with my tyre preset on, pitted and they didn't change them. Would it be that or the fact I didn't request a stop before pitting?
I was way too tense watching you do this expecting the game to crash at any minute. Seems like as long as you only enter the pit strat menu once per session you're okay.
a commenter today said that the bug appears in MP. I haven't encountered it in SP or MP. so if you could describe it here, people might find it helpful to look out for, including me...
The Pit Strategy that you created and named, why are they always out of order? For example, if I create a strategy called "Front Suspension" and it will stay at the top of the list as more are being created. But once you start some races and getting in and out accessing the strategies you created, sometimes what was at the top is now somewhere at the bottom or in the middle....my question is why? They need to fix this because I am using Voice Attack and it is specific in what it is fetching and if the list of order are wrong, it fetches the wrong strategy. I don't think developers even know about this or how Voice Attack work but if they do, they would have fixed it.

Yes yes yes and yes!
Thank you. Thanks for making the process a bit clearer, there was nothing to explain this in the sim.
You got it!
Excellent video, I've neglected these up till seeing this and left myself at the mercy of defaults and long stops. Many thanks for thsc walkthrough.
when the game gets more popular there will be more lobbies and more lobbies with mandatory pits. so yeah, set a tires only strat and you will be good to go. just make sure to QC the pressures.
Clear and to the points. We should test that NP bug after the update

Cool, have not looked into this in depth yet.
But sounds like work. Also we have to create one for every single car individually?
Not necessarily. All the saved strats will persist from car to car. Its just the pressures you’d have to make sure are set properly.
Thank you, this channel is very helpful!
Nice vid steel.

@@stgirat thx for that. I’ll give it a try. And if it works the 12$ would be a good investment. 👍🏻
@@stgirat Can you use voice to tell pit crew to change tires only, fuel only, ect??
You spelt tyres wrong... 😋
Awesome work, this helps a lot 😎

Im confident details like this will be refined at some point.

Yeah, its a good idea to check it.
As always sharp explained.
A silly question…what’s the preferred wet tyres pressure? Let’s say for gt3s
there is no real optimal pressures, for any cars. you have to base the contact patch off of the IMO temps of the tires. generally there are two schools of thought with wet tire pressures. one that says lower pressure for more grip, another that says optimal pressures, but that's hard to keep ahead of in changing conditions.

Me after watching this video: "The AMS2 pit strategy is clunky and a bit of a disaster. At least 27 made me understand it."
Hahaha Id like them to allow is to set a “repair threshold”, so if a component is say only 5% damaged it won’t be touched.
It would be so nice if there is just one button to scroll through the strats. Most of times when I try to change it I crash
or voice...the worst case scenario is you have to adjust a strat, so its always best to have pre-sets ready with your optimal one enabled when you start the race. and do it on a straight...lol
or.... for single player, the ability to change/adjust pit strategy from the pause menu
Yeah, I've never been able to even switch to a different strategy mid race without crashing. Which means have several weather slots is a feature the goes unused by me at least.
Finally got around to watching this,
If I have tyres set to recommended (not "all") and they're not worn enough will they still get replaced?
Was in the GTL race on monday night with my tyre preset on, pitted and they didn't change them. Would it be that or the fact I didn't request a stop before pitting?
They wont change them if they are not worn enough. Always set your strategy!
@@Steelcast27 sounds like the problem then! Still got a podium thanks to the wet tyres 😂
is it possible to set up voiceattack with this?
Best to let someone else confirm this.
Yes, It is.
I've followed your instructions but when I select ICM it doesn't let me change anything?
Cancel that, I was using my Dpad on the wheel but I've changed it to something else and it's all good. Thanks for doing these videos, very helpful.
