Random appreciative post time!
Every so often, I get a little disillusioned with AC. Most likely it's because I've been driving in it since Early Access, back in 2013. A new sim will come along and I'll hear great things about it and, sooner or later, I'll install it and give it a try.
This evening, I gave Automobilista 2 a shot. I've been hearing positive things since this latest update. Everyone says how good it looks and that the physics have been improved so much, blah blah blah...
After a few races, I quickly scurried back to AC. For comparisons sake, I tried several of the same cars at the same tracks in both sims and, for me, AC still has the edge.
Not only do the cars feel better to me in AC, but graphically, I still prefer AC. It might not be as detailed as Automobilista 2, but the colours seem more natural and there are still times with AC (when the time of day and the weather hits just right) that I can just about glimpse a bit of photorealism coming through...
Anyway, the point of my post is to say a big 'thank you' to everyone here for keeping this eight year old sim alive with all of your fantastic work. We may occasionally have our disagreements but, after seeing that the grass is not greener on the other side of the armco barriers, I've accepted that I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
