Automobilista is now available on Steam Early Access

[Renato Simioni]

AUTOMOBILISTA puts you in the driving seat of one of the most advanced racing simulators and delivers a uniquely diverse motorsports experience!

As the natural successor to Reiza Studios´ previous title - the highly regarded Stock Car Extreme, originally released in 2013 - AUTOMOBILISTA continues to simulate the premium Brazilian racing series such as Stock Car V8, Copa Petrobras de Marcas, Formula 3 Brasil and Mitsubishi Lancer Cup, now packing every car and every track from their respective 2015 championships.

Beyond the brazilian core, AUTOMOBILISTA is extensively complemented with one of the most diverse selections or racing vehicles you will find in a racing game: only in AUTOMOBILISTA will you be able to jump from a rental kart to a 800-HP F1 car; from drifting a Rallycross EvoX to jumping ramps in a Supertruck; from mastering the driving basics in a Formula Vee to managing a full 24h race in an endurance prototype; back and forth through historical and modern content featuring a sample of several decades of GP racing - all of this and much more within a few mouse clicks. Thoroughly researched and cohesively developed for maximum simulation accuracy, AUTOMOBILISTA captures the fun only motorsports in its various forms can provide.

In addition to the content already present in Stock Car Extreme - all of which comprehensively upgraded - AUTOMOBILISTA turns it up to a new level by adding all the new cars & tracks proposed in the SimRacing Bonanza crowdfunding campaign, new simulation features such as dynamic track conditions, advanced transmission and tire modelling, substantial upgrades to physics, graphics & audio, new game modes and much more!

Keep in mind the title is still an advanced beta and being released in Early Access - some bits and bobs still to add and improvements to be made. We´ll also be sharing more information as to how to get the best out of Automobilista as we progress through the week.

IMPORTANT EDIT: Do not copy your player PLR, controller or config.ini from SCE or any previous title. Save yourself some trouble and start fully fresh.

Maybe it should be off by default.

Default appears to reflect real-life settings.

Anyone else getting stuttering in the Karts & Kart tracks? Doesnt appear to happen in any other car/track combos. (Had same problem in GSCE)

Remember seeing a FAQ post somewhere recently? anyone have a link?

Yeah I tried the Superkart for the first time last night (at Suzuka/Kansai) and I noticed stuttering for sure. Doesn't do it anymore on any other cars.

 

[Gabriel Gonzaga]

Default appears to reflect real-life settings.

Yeah, but it's not a very popular setting since everyone is trying to disable it. But it does make sense.

 

[Dave_6]

I know the early 2000s era F1 cars had traction control but did they really have auto up shifts?

 

[Alex Sawczuk]

Where can i find these display profiles Mr Sawczuk..

EDIT: You're not talking about the display settings in the options section right?

Yes I am.

 

[BSH]

Yes they did!

 

[Gabriel Gonzaga]

Yes they did!

Fortunately they ban it. If it had keep on going we would be watching autonomous car racing by now. Also, that would make a very boring simulator.

 

[Dave_6]

Yes they did!

Thanks, I had no idea. Interesting to know that now!

Cockpit view by default. In the championships cockpit view always used. With this vision you can not see anything. I wonder from ignorance. Does the seat renault Petrobras should not be situated to the left? Sorry for the stupid question.

Renault petrobras

 

[alexSchmurtz]

Not a stupid question, it looks strange… But it is actually like that in the real car: the pilot is moved towards the center of the car. Not sure if it is for safety reason (further away in case of side impacts) or for better handling… or both!

 

[Toymoi]

Renault will be one of the cars that people will not choose. It looks very little. Thanks for the clarification @alexSchmurtz

In google images.

 

[Jan Mikuž]

Yeah, that's some proper scaffolding there. Won't be driving that much, it seems.
That nasty offset structure on the left (stock gauge compartment ?) is putting me off greatly and messing with my alignment with the cockpit/car.

I'd vote for it to be removed altogether, if it doesn't go too much against the realism.
The modelling/art looks stunning, though.

Any chance AMS will open up the lap limit of 100 laps? I'd even be happy with 200 laps being the cap as its a pain to set a timed race and cut off the race at the intended lap.

 

[Andy_J]

I like the reality of the cockpit view. If that is what it is like in real life, then that's how I want it in my sims.

 

[ThatRacingGuy]

Yes I am.

But that's obvious right...

 

[unknwn]

How to adjust FFB minimum force? I can't enjoy driving with the deadzone.

 

[ThatRacingGuy]

And how to remove the track map... Numpad 0 doesn't work anymore.

And there is a lot of stuttering... even above 60FPS

 

[Alex Sawczuk]

But that's obvious right...

People often set individual settings rather than using the preset.

 

[Heitor Facuri Cicoti]

How to adjust FFB minimum force? I can't enjoy driving with the deadzone.

You can either increase FFB Strength (if too much, you get clipping), or you can change the following line on Controller.ini:
FFB steer force neutral function="0.00000" (I set mine for 0.05000 - which is 5%)
