Busy times at Reiza Studios in recent days, following the large 1.0.6 update release of late November, the studio have dropped yet another new hotfix update build for the ever developing simulation - adding a number of new fixes, updates and improvements as AMS 2 continues on its impressive development trajectory.

Chief amongst the new build highlights in terms of content is the addition of the 'Sprint Short' layout of the German Nurburgring Circuit, added to the title as additional content for players who already own the Nurburgring DLC, and some nice sounding improvements to the ever in progress AI behaviour within the game, some of which is general across all cars, and some is specific to certain tracks within the title.

The full 1.0.6.2 hotfix changelog and be seen below:


Update Notes:
  • Added Nurburgring Sprint Short layout
  • UI Server Browser: Disabled refresh button during cool-down period; Sort by player count descending is now default; Trimmed leading whitespace from lobby names; first item after refreshing/sorting list is now selected
  • Slow server list refresh rate and extend maximum timeout. Refresh now typically takes longer but reliably returns more servers to the UI browser page as a result.
  • Added support for car livery overrides
  • Fixed Stockcar 2020 Championship round 5 (Santa Cruz) missing rolling start and forced pitstop.
  • Revised tire tread physics for all cars (in progress)
  • Bumped steer lock range for all cars

  • F-Ultimate: raised baseline rear pressure
  • Increased speed tolerance to trigger jump start penalty
  • Revised FFB Max force for several cars for better consistency
  • Fixed asymetrical right front damper range in Procar
  • Revised suspension & bumpstop rates for Procar, Ginetta G58 (requires setup reset)
  • Minor weight distribution adjustment for Procar, Super V8
  • Improved AI performance at Ibarra
  • AI callibration pass (all classes)
  • Slightly increased AI roll torque stab & CoG height multiplier to minimise risk of AI cars rolling over high curbs
  • Adjusted AI code to help prevent small nose to tail bumps between AI during race starts and when drafting
  • AI now return to track in a safer manner after slipping or going off road
  • Further reductions in AI lateral jitter / weaving / abrupt moves
  • Slightly reduced bump amplitude of gravel / grass
  • Several audio balancing adjustments to GT3 & P1 cars volume levels (internal & external)
  • Nurburgring: Added missing wall at Breidscheid; minor art & performance pass; Completed VR cams for Nordschleife / 24H layouts
  • Fixed helicopters disappearing on some tracks
  • Slight tweaks to animated objects @ Brands Hatch & Bathurst

There are a lot of small polishing issues, I do find it hard to enjoy at this stage.

It is not just the issues with driving and so on, even little things like the day running lights on the GT3 screenshots shown above are not working. It made Reiza's work look unpolished.

Even though they drive pretty great now. Love the Porsche, thats such a wonderful car to race.
