Reiza Studios Automobilista 2 update
It’s that time of the month again..Reiza Studios just released a new update regarding automobilista 2. More details below:
It has been a month since Automobilista 2 was released on steam. In general a lot of positive feedback from the simrace community, everyone feels confident about the future and where the game is heading.
“As mentioned before, Automobilista 2 will be a project with a long future ahead. Now that the first issues have been overcome, we are in a better position to develop the game to its full potential. We hope everyone will enjoy the new developments!” They said.
Automobilista 2 v0.8.7 is here! – Time Trial activated!
Version v0.8.7 will release today in beta, and after a couple of tests to make sure everything is working as it should, it will also be available in the normal version of the game.
The most exiting thing in this release is the de time trial function. This new mode gives everybody a chance to take on the fastest on any circuit in any car!
This new mode is a complete work up from the original Automobilista. The newly used engine has more options than ever before, like loading hotlaps from the competition.
Versie v0.8.7 will also add the 1986 Brazilian Opala Stock Car season, completely remastered from AMS1 with all cars and original liveries.
The new version wil also have Force Feedback updates and AI improvements, next to the usual improvements.
Multiplayer Development
We are pushing to address the problems reported by users with glitchy collisions while running in Multiplayer races – previous builds have already corrected some innacuracies in the collision mesh of several cars, and we are now investigating potential adjustments in the netcode to fully recitfy the problem.
The presence of this issue and attention it is requiring has pushed back the introduction of the Multiplayer rating system, but we remain commited to complete the work on both fronts before the end of Early Access.
Next Week – Kyalami & Sigma P1
Next week will see the introduction of the modern Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, to go along with the Historical 1976 version already offered in the game.
The Kyalami Circuit has undergone a complete revamp in recent years which has put it in the map again of the major international motorsports series. We are very happy to celebrate this classic venue rising profile by bringing the track to Automobilista 2, hopefully doing justice to the technical layout and the picturesque beauty of the South African scenery – check out some previews:
Next week´s build will also see the introduction of a new Brazilian Prototype – the imposing Sigma P1 debuted in the Brazilian Endurance Championship in 2019, powered by a mighty Audi V8 turbo engine – the car will be fully revised for the new season complete with an engine built in-house, with the goal of challenging the pace setting AJRs in P1 classs.
What’s next…Mclaren, Lotus & Brabham are back on track!
We are thrilled to confirm extensive licensing agreements with some of the most iconic brands in motorsports in Mclaren Racing, Classic Team Lotus and Brabham Racing, which will see a number of their Classic Grand Prix cars being added to Automobilista 2.
The first batch will not take much longer, including beauties such as the Lotus 72D, the Mclaren M23 and the Brabham BT44 pictured below:
These however will be just the beginning – more to come where these came from
