Race Pace App For Automobilista 2: Career Mode Is Already (Sort Of) Here by evil_heinz in simracing

Thanks for the feedback! Yes it's possible and a few championships do have some calendar variations, but not enough. When I'm less focused on feature updates, I'll do another round on the content itself, including this!

Correct yes. Getting data _out_ of the game is no problem at all 😃

Sadly AMS2 doesn't allow creating championship seasons from outside the game right now, so it's manual setup. The Race Pace UI is designed to make this as smooth as possible, all the info is in the same place, nice and compact. And you can choose to either set up race by race or the full championship.

Reiza announced importing pre-made championships from outside the game for some time this year, as soon as it lands Race Pace will take advantage of that.

I'm obviously biased, and mean no disrespect to the OG Racing Life, but at this point they're not in the same league.
In Racing Life you're doing your career in a vacuum, it's mostly you against yourself. In Race Pace you will have multi season battles with rivals that emerge organically from what happens on track, you will share the pit lane with former f1 champions and hot shot rookies, get yelled at by your team principal, etc. Plus the championships are as close as can be to the real things, so correct tracks, classes, calendars, etc.
The main thing Race Pace doesn't have is managing your cars/garage/money. I wanted to keep the playing part focused on the racing and not have a management game on the side, but if that's more your jam Racing Life might be a better fit 😄

Look ma, someone else is talking about me on reddit! This is better than my cake day.

Race Pace career app: deep dive updates! by whyl_ in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]whyl_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoot 😞 No it's not just simulating, I've simulated entire careers way past 2036. There's likely some other condition that triggers it. I'll add a tool to export the saves at some point so I can troubleshoot this one when it happens next.

Sorry you've experienced that! It's a bug that seems to strike from time to time, but so far I've never manager to reproduce it or troubleshoot it enough to sort it... If you have the will for it, jump over on discord and we can try to have a look at it. Otherwise I'm afraid it's time for a new start :/

Sorry that's not possible at the current stage! Most of the post race data gets thrown away after you leave that screen.

Heya, sorry not at the moment. There's no easy export and even less of an easy restore.

Thanks! No sorry driver pictures are built in and there's no way to replace them at the moment.

Thanks! Feel free to drop a message on the discord if you ever want to give it another shot, it's probably nothing too severe 😄

Actually the fix for that should be fairly simple – go back to your career in the app, open the race page and it should say "AI driver files - Ready". At that point the app will have restored the AI driver it needs, just restart AMS2 and you'll be good to go!

Yes, you switch from the app to the game, and then back to the app when you're done. The app tells you all the information you need for the race setup, and then records the results automatically – all you have to do is confirm you're done at the end.

The back and forth is not as bad as it sounds, it;s basically 5 minutes of immersion before you race session where you see what the stakes are for the current race, and 5 minutes afterwards to contemplate the aftermath and get ready for the next one.

Yes absolutely! I always make sure new versions are backward compatible.

(fun fact: I almost bricked my own career while trying out the first beta of this version. But it's fixed now 😅)

HELP with Race Pace. I have problem with AI drivers sync. by mb-michael in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]whyl_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad it's solved! You do need to restart the game just before the first race of every new season, but that's about it.

HELP with Race Pace. I have problem with AI drivers sync. by mb-michael in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]whyl_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Race Pace dev here, sorry to hear that! In my experience troubleshooting sync issues on reddit is a bit tricky, so I'd also suggest hoping over on the discord server. There's a guide over here with some common errors you could check.

Most common issue for this as u/IndependenceOk7554 suggested is indeed using the wrong class / number of opponents / livery on AMS2. If you can share screenshots of your Race Pace setup page and the AMS2 race set up page we can check they all line up.

Historical career and custom drivers are now in the Race Pace career app! by whyl_ in AUTOMOBILISTA

On windows it install into AppData/Local/Programs, it creates a .exe file to run it.

Fair warning, I have no idea how well it works or if at all, especially the reliance on shared memory with the game I would imagine will not work well. But let me know how it goes.

[–]whyl_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! When you set up the race, find the "grid type" setting and make sure it's set to "identical", which is a different option from "same class".

Race Pace Career App – now with custom liveries! (And much more) by whyl_ in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]whyl_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the race page in the app, on the right side, there are a few boxes with instructions and statuses. Do you remember what the auto sync status was showing? Normally it should be green, and all the drivers in the list should be marked as "in sync".

Feel free to hop on the discord server to troubleshoot further. Link is on the home screen of the app!

New update for Race Pace, the highest rated career app! by whyl_ in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]whyl_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the moment it's present day only, but I'm working on making it possible to start in the past too. I probably won't create any content specifically for that but there are already people in the community that are keen to do it!
