Automobilista 2 Update is Live: More Than An F1 Car

Automobilista 2 Update in Beta More Than An F1 car.jpg
The April update for Automobilista 2 is here – and Reiza Studios continues to make incredible progress in their sim: Not only does V1.3.5.0 bring eagerly awaited new content to the table, it also improves the ERS and tire models as well as other elements under the hood.

To get the most important question out of the way first: Yes, the Formula Ultimate Gen2 car that represents the 2022 crop of Formula One vehicles, is now part of AMS2. Along with the brand-new single seater, a reworked ERS system and tire model make their way into the sim. Ever since the beta version of the update dropped, sim racers have been praising the F-Ultimate Gen2, and once the inevitable community skin pack is here, you can enjoy your own virtual version of the current F1 season.

Fans of Brazilian motorsports also get their share of new content: The 2022 season of the Stock Car Pro series is now in AMS2, and just in time for the real event on April 10th, the Galeao Airport circuit has also been added.

Various smaller fixes have been implemented as well, such as additional entries for the F-USA Gen1 class, fixes to the crowds at select tracks, and general bug fixes. Reiza as also further improved the AI and added a logic for forced and unforced errors, which should make offline races more believable. You can find the full changelog in full on the next page to find out all the details of the additions and adjustments. Which parts of the update are you most looking forward to try for yourself?

Let us know what you think about the new version in the comments!

Cannot wait for this skin pack. The official game does not even have VR, which shows lack of passion in their product in my opinion.
Its definitely still niche (a niche market at least) when you take into account the platforms that are relevant to this game. The overwhelming majority of PC and Playstation/Xbox gamers don't own a VR headset (recent figures for PS4 appear to be < 5% of PS4 owners have PSVR, and < 2% of Steam users have a VR headset.

It's future potential doesn't mean it isn't a niche market right now.

Not a big fan of single seaters (F-Trainer aside) so I'm really looking forward to trying the new Stock Cars. Big fan of all the previous iterations, the teasing, unforgiving jezebels that they are. Its like piloting a traditional canal narrowboat that happens to be powered by a Formula 1 Powerboat engine. I do love the Brazil-centric slant that AMS2 brings to the sim-racing party.

Instant Buy, is it? ?
Free buy :)

2022 Stockcar has improved from past additions. I tested the beta for a few days and after some tweaks to the tune and ffb, I really enjoyed it tho it still needs some tweaks as the rear is still squirrelly on exit.
All together, a good step forward.
Hopefully, they will add the car to the championship mode, if it was already with the live update?

Edit: just read that they added the 2021/22 stockcar to the championship mode along with further physic tweaks to the tire model!!! :)

Nice Review of things. :D
 
Seems like a great car, an enjoyable drive and handles very well, it seems very balanced.

On a side note, i much prefer the older F1 cars 90's / 2000's over these new ones.

Edit: after a good day or so driving this car, WOW its a ****ing blast! very well done Reiza :) one of my favs in the sim. Just completed a long race round Daytona, from night to day, was awesome.

From the changelog:

AI
Added forced and u<nforced mistake logic for AI drivers

I haven't got the time to test yet and I am not exactly sure what it means ("forced and unforced"?... ). But it is good to see that they are working on the AI in order to make it look more realistic.

Though, it is a bit disappointing that there is no word about the very annoying AI refueling issue.
