In leggero ritardo rispetto al solito, Reiza Studios ha pubblicato il nuovo Development Update del mese di Novembre relativo al suo Automobilista 2 in fase di sviluppo.

Le novità in arrivo previste per il simulatore brasiliano sono numerose e particolarmente interessanti, come il circuito belga di Spa, la cui versione moderna arriverà già in Dicembre e le mitiche vetture di classe GT1 dell'annata 1990.

Il team Reiza inoltre, ha rilasciato un nuovo aggiornamento per il suo Automobilista 2. L'update via Steam porta il simulatore brasiliano alla nuova release 1.0.6.1 correggendo svariati bugs e sistemando alcune problematiche, come da elenco sottostante:

[VELOCIPEDE]

Automobilista 2 has now been updated to v1.0.1.1 - this is a hotfix to complement the latest release with some further improvements & fixes to new features / content.

Regarding Spa-Francorchamps DLC

We apologise for the ongoing unavailability of the standalone Spa DLC on Steam - we have already requested Valve´s support to address it and expect it will be sorted soon (by Monday at the latest). In the meantime it is still possible to acquire the track as part of the Premium Track Pack, or the complete 2020-2021 Season Pass.
 

V1.0.1.1 CHANGELOG

Added International GT3, F-Classic Gen1, GT1 championships

Enabled multiple random weather slots in championship seasons

Disabled formation lap for championships ith rolling starts

Fixed FFB per vehicle adjustment in-session

Fixed FFB adjustment localization

Fixed Caterham tail lights not working in dark

Extensive Spa-Francorchamps art pass, performance improvements, object pop-up & wall hole fixes

Adjusted AI performance through various corners for better balance vs player

Slightly increased Bathurst AI Grip values

GT1 physics revisions: Adjusted engine compression curves & added throttle map for all models; adjusted default coast differential setting; Slightly improved Mclaren F1 GTR engine & center of gravity

P1 class physics revisions: corrected G58 weight distribution; added 10-15kg to AJR cars for better BoP accross class

Time Trial mode now includes all the latest content

Reiza ci mostra oggi un trailer in game con gli ultimi sviluppi di Automobilista 2 nella prossima v1.1.0.4, che includerà un profondo aggiornamento del tracciato di Spa Francorchamps recentemente rilasciato, inclusa illuminazione notturna, linee AI più veloci e prestazioni migliorate.

L'update includerà anche ulteriori revisioni estese alla fisica degli pneumatici e della trasmissione, nonché nuovi sviluppi nel comportamento dell'IA, incluso un rilevamento molto migliore delle auto più lente che dovrebbe rendere le gare multiclasse più competitive.

In questo video vediamo in azione la Mclaren F1 GTR recentemente rilasciata, contro le più potenti Mercedes CLK LM e Porsche 911 GT1, con il tipico clima in continua evoluzione di Spa mentre la notte inizia ad affacciarsi...
