Automobilista 2 January 2021 Development Update

https://forum.reizastudios.com/threads/automobilista-2-january-2021-development-update.15488/?fbclid=IwAR0tlAQtslF5UaNfB_ErKP_SeLMCSwowZ81k-l6KBx8TbN_4NHjzHOjaNsE

Quote

Greetings Everyone! Here we are for the first dev update of what promises to be a very exciting year for Automobilista 2.

We have started the year as we left off 2020, with foot hard on the gas and already deploying a couple of substantial updates to bring some important core developments to physics & AI. Along with another batch of general developments, the latest v1.1.1.0 release has also introduced a couple of neat Ginetta G40 variants nicely filling that tin top club racing niche that was still under represented in AMS2.


Even before the update went out, we were already pushing towards some of the steps that will follow in the coming months - let´s take a closer look into those...

2021 Roadmap - Fast, But Steady

As suggested in the last two dev updates, we have been opting to slightly throttle back on our release schedule for new content relative to our original roadmap in these recent updates. We will continue to put more focus towards developing existing content and other core game developments, with new content progressing in parallel and at a more steady but still quite productive pace - current plans forecast a ratio of about 2-3 new cars / 1 track per month for the remainder of 2021 (not to be confused with an equivalent release ratio as some of that content will be part of the larger expansion packs).

For a similar reason we are also going to hold a bit longer on publishing our complete 2021 Roadmap until we have finalized our initial assessment of the planned features and finalized the remaining licensing deals for the content to be released this year, which we expect to take a few more weeks.

What we can advance already is that given this slightly stretched schedule, which will see the release of some content initially planned for 2021 rolling into 2022, we are also stretching the Season Pass term to cover all of our 2022 DLC releases. The Season Pass now should cover everything we have already planned to release for AMS2, not only retaining but expanding its value with some further not-yet announced items added to the overall package.

Even though part of the reason for holding on publishing the 2021 roadmap a bit longer is to ensure what we eventually come to present is a more reliable plan, we´d hope users will still keep in mind as we advance that the roadmap or even the shorter term plans usually presented in these dev updates are still targets that we can elect to flex if we find it necessary or useful to do so - neither the roadmaps nor dev updates should be taken as a commitment to a schedule but rather as a rough overview of our development plans, presented with the intent of giving our users some foresight into what they may expect going forward.

With all this said, we can also confirm we will continue our routine of major monthly updates all through 2021, and we do have some concrete milestones for the next couple of months we can already share - so let´s expand on that

Coming Up in February

Excepting the usual likely hotfix for the v1.1.1.0 update sometime over the next week, our next major update should arrive as usual towards the end of February. Here are some of the highlights planned for it:


Our track team is still working on Belgian territory, now taking a trip back in time to retro-reform our Spa-Francorchamps to its 1993 version.

The track was originally supposed to be based on its 1991 configuration, but we´ve opted to switch to the 1993 version thanks to higher quality reference material. Also, although the track configuration remained the same throughout the 80s and Early 90s, the 1993 revision featured some small adjustments to the curb profiles at the Bus Stop double chicane which remained largely unaltered until 2002, and contributed to a better flow of the track in that last part of the lap.


The much anticipated Group C Sauber Mercedes C9 and Porsche 962C duo will finally arrive in next month´s update, suitably in combo with its contemporary version of Spa-Francorchamps.

Similar to the GT1 cars that arrived in December, the Group C class represented another golden era in sports cars in history, and these two models were front-runners at its peak in the late 1980s, when it approached F1 in terms of both popularity and performance.

Having the series represented in Automobilista 2´s historical roster was therefore a no-brainer choice, and we are thrilled to see their arrival is finally just around the corner!


Another much anticipated historical content arriving in the next update is the 1999 GM Omega Stock Car - the last "proper' Stock Car to race in the series before the dawn of the prototype era in the 2000s, the Stock Car Omega was still largely based on its production counterpart which replaced the Opala in the Brazilian market during the 90s. It also shared a lot of its DNA with its Australian cousin, the Holden Commodore.

The introduction of the 1999 Stock Car series will complete our tribute to the prime Brazilian championship on the verge of the 10th Anniversary of our very first title, Game Stock Car released in 2011. Time does fly when you are having fun!

The February Update should also feature some further Quality of Life improvements and fixes, the biggest priorities being to rectify some persisting reliability issues with FFB and Multiplayer.

Later On...

The late March 2021 update will mark the first Anniversary of AMS2 EA release, and we´re pushing to mark the occasion with an even bigger update than usual.

On the content front, the March update will be fairly packed with some very interesting new cars, but we´ll save discussing more about these for next month

Besides another substantial batch of QoL developments, the March Update will finally see the arrival of the highly anticipated Custom Championship Tool - we have again elected to push its release a bit further down the line not only to ensure everything is working well, but also to make a more feature rich release, including some further customization options for weather, track conditions, opponent and class selection which are not currently in the game but that are expected to be introduced along with the tool itself.

We´ll expand more on the above in next dev update, but here´s a small WIP preview of the configuration screen where users will be able to configure their championship rounds:



The March Update will also see some more promising developments to the LiveTrack and Weather systems, aiming further fulfill the potential of the excellent technology we have in the Madness engine. Again, we´ll hold from spilling the beans too soon, but rest assured there are some exciting stuff in store here!

That covers it for January - we look forward to catching up with all again later next month!

Development Update Febbraio 2021

Dopo aver rilasciato domenica scorsa l'ultimo update, il team Reiza ci aggiorna sullo sviluppo del suo Automobilista 2 con il Development Update di Febbraio 2021.

Il mese prossimo segnerà il primo anniversario dal rilascio iniziale in accesso anticipato di AMS2, il 31 marzo 2020, durante questo primo anno gli sviluppatori si sono concentrati principalmente sullo sviluppo del nucleo di simulazione e sull'assemblaggio di una base di contenuti ampia e diversificata; il secondo riguarderà ancora principalmente l'introduzione di nuove funzionalità di gioco che sfruttino al meglio tutte queste basi.

Data la portata degli aggiornamenti fisici negli ultimi mesi e il loro impatto sulle prestazioni di diverse vetture, si è deciso che un reset delle schede Time Trial e del suo DB di setup sarà online con l'aggiornamento di marzo; allo stesso modo un aggiornamento sostanziale alla modalità campionato con diverse nuove opzioni significherà che i campionati salvati dalla versione corrente non funzioneranno più dopo l'aggiornamento di fine marzo.

Ci sono molte cose interessanti in arrivo con il prossimo aggiornamento e i mesi successivi, ma se ne parlerà nell'aggiornamento alla fine di questo mese, appena prima del rilascio della nuova versione.

Greetings everyone!

It´s hard to believe that we have already hit March 2021 - time is flying by faster than a Sauber Mercedes C9 set to max boost!

This means this Dev Update has actually run a couple of days late as we focused on wrapping the big update just deployed this past Sunday - February just wasn´t long enough

March is likewise shaping as another very busy month as we gear up to what should hopefully be another major update - one that will mark the first anniversary since AMS2´s initial EA release.

For that reason, we´ll be keeping this dev update a bit leaner than usual, focusing on the information that´s most important as we approach this new milestone.

LAYING DOWN THE GROUNDWORK

Sunday saw the release of v1.1.2.0 update to AMS2, which has just been complemented by the v1.1.2.1 hotfix earlier today, with another minor update scheduled to be deployed before the end of the week.

While the rate of development has remained pretty intense from the very first public release, the last couple of months in particular has seen a big influx of updates to physics, AI and FFB, and regular users would have been forgiven for feeling like the game was under maintenance. We apologize for the inconvenience, but it has truly been to better serve you

On the physics front, the core of the dev work has been focused on tire and driveline development - these are two components of the physics engine that were completely new in the Madness engine relative to what we had been used to up to AMS1 - they are also much more sophisticated, which has proved to be a steep learning curve to get on top of.

Things did pick up pace in recent months, and physics for certain cars went through some big changes in between updates, occasionally with some sideways steps or even slightly backwards before things come together to lurch forward again - we realize this may have been a bit frustrating to go through for the users, but it was important to get it done and cover most ground in the shortest amount of time so we could establish the stable baseline we´ll be relying on moving forward.


As physics change, the AI needs to be adjusted to suit since they run on simpler tire and driveline models relative to the much more complex physics used in the player´s car - the AI has received plenty of developments of its own, with several adjustments to their behavior and an increased breakdown of previously global parameters allowing for car-specific tuning of various aspects which compose their overall performance - this allows for more detailed fine tuning of AI in any given series, which is crucial in a sim featuring everything from rental karts to racing trucks.

The latest update has also seen some valuable FFB development, with the default profile now providing more accurate self-aligning torque and various handling dynamics such as brake torque, wheel lockup, and traction loss also becoming more detailed through the FFB.

These three fronts are key for the driving & racing experience, and while all will continue to evolve through AMS2´s shelf life, we have hopefully reached a state from which progress should become more incremental, and users thus can be more reliant on the experience remaining a lot more consistent from one update to the next.

We now have the solid baseline needed to introduce & flesh out more gameplay features to make the best use of all this groundwork - that is the plan as we enter this 2nd year in AMS2 shelf life, and the first big step should arrive already later this month.



THE NEXT UPDATE

Next month will mark the first anniversary since the initial Early Access release of AMS2 on March 31th 2020, and over this first we have mostly focused on developing the simulation core and assembling a large, diverse content base; the second will still be primarily about introducing new gameplay features that make best use of all this groundwork.

Given the extent of the physics updates in recent months and their impact on the performance of several cars, we have decided that a reset of Time Trial boards and its setup DB will be in order with our March update; likewise a substantial update to championship mode with several new options will mean saved championships from the current version will no longer work after the late March update.

So a bit of inconvenience ahead, but a necessary clean slate to bring these game modes up to par - while it´s always possible this may again be necessary further down the line in case of a major breakthrough, we assure that at least for the foreseeable future things should remain much more stable.



There is a lot of cool stuff coming up with the next update and subsequent months that we are eager to share, but we´ll leave that for the Dev Update we´ll be posting later this month just before the new version is released, so we can cover them in more detail

In the meantime we hope you all manage to stay safe and enjoy a fun time with AMS2 or whatever else tickles your sim racing bone - we hope it´s contributing to that crucial little bit of indoor joy while we continue to hunker down in these tough times!

Il team Reiza Studios rilascia oggi una nuova versione aggiornata (v1.1.4.0) del suo Automobilista 2. Oltre alla consueta lista di migliorie e bugfix, troviamo una gustosissima novità: la mitica Brabham BT46B !

Quote

Da Wikipedia:

La notorietà di tale monoposto deriva dalla versione B, detta anche Fan car ("auto ventola"), che presentava un ventilatore posto sul retrotreno della vettura, grazie al quale si otteneva un carico aerodinamico fuori dal comune e prestazioni eccezionali.

Nel 1978 dominava il mondiale la Lotus 79, una wing-car imprendibile. Bernie Ecclestone, il proprietario della Brabham, esortò il progettista Gordon Murray a trovare una soluzione innovativa per rendere competitiva la propria vettura e contrastare il dominio delle Lotus. Murray, non potendo adottare la stessa soluzione tecnica a causa dell'ingombro laterale, caratteristica dell'architettura 12 cilindri boxer del propulsore Alfa Romeo, dovette escogitare un espediente alternativo che consentisse di ottenere gli stessi risultati.

La soluzione fu suggerita da Gary Anderson e David Cox, assistenti di Murray: porre al posteriore una ventola, che creasse artificialmente una depressione tale da incollare la vettura a terra (il cosiddetto effetto suolo).

L'idea non era originale: Cox aveva notato una soluzione simile durante un colloquio alla Tyrrell, il cui studio tecnico l'aveva mutuata dalla Chaparral 2J, una monoposto Can-Am del 1970. Tale soluzione, però, era vietata in F1 perché si muoveva grazie a un motore ausiliario: oltre a costituire, dunque, un vietatissimo dispositivo aerodinamico mobile, aveva anche l'effetto di aumentare la cilindrata totale. Gordon Murray studiò a lungo i regolamenti, per adattare la soluzione al comma che recita:

«Se un dispositivo mobile ha un effetto aerodinamico sulla vettura, è regolare a patto che la sua funzione primaria sia diversa.»

Dunque la ventola assunse funzione di raffreddamento (per un radiatore posto appositamente sopra al motore), mentre il movimento è spiegato dall'allora capomeccanico Ermanno Cuoghi:

«Il perno della ventola nasceva da un prolungamento dell'albero primario del cambio e la ventola stessa era tenuta da due cuscinetti posti sulla culatta. L'aria veniva aspirata tramite un radiatore dell'acqua e il resto era sigillato con bandelle a 45°. Nella parte anteriore del vano era poi stato sistemato una sorta di cuscino di kevlar aderente al suolo, che con la velocità si gonfiava e garantiva tenuta, amplificando l'effetto sigillo.»

(Ermanno Cuoghi, capomeccanico di Niki Lauda alla Brabham-Alfa Romeo[1])

La vettura debuttò al Gran Premio di Svezia 1978, nel Circuito di Anderstorp:

«Accendiamo la macchina ai box e accade una cosa inquietante. È tanto il risucchio della ventola, che la BT46 si abbassa e tocca terra da ferma! [...] Per non farla distruggere nelle spanciate, tanto gratta il suolo, togliamo le molle da 1000 libbre e adottiamo quelle da 3000!»

(Ermanno Cuoghi, capomeccanico di Niki Lauda alla Brabham-Alfa Romeo[1])

Il dominio fu nettissimo:

«Prima delle qualifiche Gordon Murray viene da me e chiede di far imbarcare il pieno di benzina e gomme di "legno". Ho capito male? Gli chiedo di ripetere. "Voglio il pieno. Siamo troppo forti. Dobbiamo bluffare, andare più piano, sennò ci squalificano". Detto e fatto. Con 210 litri di benzina siamo secondi e terzi in griglia. [...] In gara non c'è storia: Lauda stravince.»

(Ermanno Cuoghi, capomeccanico di Niki Lauda alla Brabham-Alfa Romeo[1])

Dopo proteste e reclami di fronte alla Federazione Internazionale, dapprima si giunge a un accordo, con altri soli tre Gran Premi concessi alla BT46B, ma poi l'accordo è subito annullato e la monoposto è bandita dal Mondiale: solo 1 gara disputata, ma vinta.

La motivazione ufficiale (peraltro sostenuta da motivazioni reali) era legata a un "effetto collaterale": la ventola "spruzzava" ghiaia e sabbia sulle vetture in scia con evidente rischio per i piloti.

Automobilista 2 V1.1.4.0 is now live - this time our usual complementary update has evolved into a major mid-month update in its own right, featuring another large batch of improvements and one fan-tastic new piece of content: the Brabham BT46B!



As with the 1997 Mclaren MP4-12 and its extra "steer-brake pedal" released last year, Automobilista 2 V1.1.4.0 pays tribute to another unique car in motorsports history: the Brabham BT46B (aka the fan car) made into folklore for its creative implementation of ground effects at the dawn of the new aero revolution during the late 70s.
Designer Gordon Murray came up with the concept while In attempt to boost the performance of the BT46 against the mighty Lotus 79 which had been dominating the 1978 F1 season up until then - under the pretense of improving airflow and cooling through the drivetrain (which it actually also did) the fan in the BT46B would blow faster as the engine revved up, and as it did it would suck the air from underneath the car, generating astronomical levels of downforce in the process.

The car raced only once - the Swedish GP of 1978, and duly won it in dominating fashion at the hands of Niki Lauda. Bernie Ecclestone - who owned the Brabham team and at the time was also beginning to take a leading role in the newly formed F1 constructors association - decided to retire the concept to avoid stirring a feud with other constructors; contrary to common misconception, the BT46B was never banned or deemed illegal, and went into retirement with the distinct achievement of winning 100% of the races it entered.
Now the Brabham BT46B has been brought back to life in Automobilista 2 to continue taking the fight to the Lotus 79 for ground effect supremacy!
