Automobilista 2: rilasciato aggiornamento con Spa 1993 e Gruppo C

Nuovo corposo aggiornamento rilasciato per Automobilista 2 da parte di Reiza Studios. Con questo aggiornamento il simulatore del team brasiliano passa alla versione 1.1.2.0 e si arricchisce con le vetture del Gruppo C (Sauber Mercedes C9 e Porsche 962C) e con il layout 1993 di Spa Francorchamps.

Oltre a questo anche tanti miglioramenti per quanto riguarda la IA e la fisica di gioco. Ecco di seguito il changelog completo

Quote

V1.1.1.3 -> V1.1.2.0 CHANGELOG

CONTENT
Tracks

• Added Spa Francorchamps 1993 layout

Vehicles

• Added Group C class featuring Sauber Mercedes C9 & Porsche 962C
• Added Stock Car 1999 Omega series

GENERAL

• Implemented new LiveTrack wet weather rubber washing (rubber is now gradually washed away from track surface as it gets saturated with water)
• Expanded available opponent classes to 9 (10 total)
• Bumped headlight range from 160 to 240m for all cars
• Corrected number of opponents in Championship mode to match the series current total number of opponents
• Added function to set different presets of rubber depending on type of session (making option available to player will soon follow)
• Added new functions to control when vehicle headlights & tail lights should remain on and DRS rules remain disabled based on track wetness threshold (previously was solely based on environment light levels)
• Replaced Spa 2020 with Spa 1993 on the calendar of pre-2005 championships

UI & HUD

• Re-styled event rules & regulations page
• Re-styled single player opponent settings page
• Added help texts to online Opponent settings screen
• Fixed wrong value link on gear 7/8 assignments
• Fixed redundant adjustable wing setup option being available for cars without such aero components
• Corrected tire names for various cars using street or semi-slick compounds
• Fixed missing French & German localization for track limits setting
• Adjusted font size on track limit warnings labels for Rules & Regulations UI screen

FFB

• Introduced routine to reset FFB in case of FFB loss (game detects the loss and reset FFB automatically, should be seamless for player)
• Adjusted default FFB profile for more accurate self-aligning torque, milder force spikes over big bumps and other such sudden tire oad.change; adjusted effect from braking torque (should provide better feedback during lockups); split FX signal from Low Force Boost setting

PHYSICS

• Added slow damping function to all tires (generally improves tire damping & fixes bouncing effect at very slow speeds previously proeminent in formula cars)
• Added intermediate & extreme tyre compounds for modern protos, GTs & formulas
• Adjusted tire tread for 60s touring cars, Opalas, Copas Fusca, Uno, Truck, Caterham Academy & F-Trainer
• Adjusted semi-slick tire tread (F-Trainer Advanced, Caterhams, ARC Camaro)
• Adjusted F-Vee, Opala 1979 & Old Stock tire treads
• Increased RPM threshold for reduced engine life in 2-stroke karts
• Moved Metalmoro AJR diffuser center of pressure rearwards by 2cm (slightly rebalancing overall aero distribution)
• Slightly falloff rates in rain for all slick tires (addressing issues with tires losing all adherence beyond a certain saturation point)
• Minor stifness adjustment to GT / Proto / StockCar tire carcasses
• Added minor preload resistance to open diffs in cars with more powerful engines
• Adjusted Porsche 911 GT1 engine compression curve
• Adjusted default gear ratios for Mclaren F1 GTR & Mercedes CLK in GT1 class
• Minor crankshaft mass adjustments to F1 cars
• Corrected 720S GT3 negative rear toe setting (setup reset recommended)
• Moved default brake bias slightly rearwards for Copa Truck, F-Trainers (requires setup reset recommended)

AI

• Various AI behavior improvements, adding car-specific parameters to improve their overtaking assesments both against human player and AI vs AI
• Added car-specific overrides for previously global parameters controlling the amount of lifting off the throttle AI would do while running over puddles, & introduced new car-specific parameter controlling the amount of lifting while on wet tires (generally less than on dry tires, improves their straightline performance when going through large amounts of standing water)
• Added several car-specific overrides for previously global AI parameters such as brake and reaccelaration distance thresholds, start reaction times, distance triggers for defending position
• Reduced likelihood of AI crashing into wall when side by side with human
• Increased AI drivers performance range
• Minor AI callibration pass for performance dropoff with tire wear
• Azure: Smoothed corridors in several locations
• Slightly increased AI grip @ Bathurst, Nurburgring GP & Velocitta

TRACKS

• Adelaide: reduced road mesh noise; smooth curb at entrance to T13
• Imola: Fixed camera man pop up
• Kyalami: removed glitchy helicopter animation
• Silverstone: trimmed 3D grass clipping walls in some places; fixed a few object pop ups; consolidated some grand stands into larger objects (same materials); optimized shadows
• Revised "Max AI participants" for various tracks, correcting when this differed from available garage slots
• Disabled DOF blur in all trackside VR cams for tracks that have them (currently only Grade A tracks)

VEHICLES

• F-V10 Gen2: fixed visual tire tread not corresponding the actual tire when switching from wet to dry
• F-Classic (all gens): added Dirt/Scratch map + New UV channel 3 mapping for carbon fiber cockpit material
• Copa Montana: added Dirt/Scratch map
• BMW M6 GT3: Fixed red carpaint issue in cockpit view (car #91)
• F-V10: Fixed visual glitch with windscreen in rain
• Gol Classic B: Fixed front splitter glitch
• Ultima GTR: Fixed oil pressure needle
• F3 F309: corrected RPM bars range
• Lancer R & RS: Livery override entry added for windscreen and wing
• Corrected cockpit POV in Metalmoro AJR, Mclaren 570S, Ultima GTR
• Corrected rain tire tread for F-Retros
