A new update for Automobilista 2 has been released to Steam, bringing more cars forward to the latest tire model and driveline physics.
AMS2's monthly updates tend to be either content-rich or physics-focused, and the May, 2022 update is the latter. The significant improvements to the feel of vehicles in the sim that have been achieved through driveline elasticity and tire carcass refinements are being applied to more cars with each update.
This month's update notably focuses on various formula cars in the title. F-Vintages, F-Retros, F-Classics, F-V12, F-V10, F-Reiza, and F-Ultimate cars have all been improved, meaning that roughly 60 years of Formula 1 inspired vehicles can be better enjoyed.
For those who have struggled to find appropriate levels of AI performance or consistent behavior, updates have also been applied to single player racing that should address issues faced when driving the formula cars, Super V8, GT3 or 2019 Stock Cars.
While this update won't dominate headlines, it is a nice step forward for a lot of the content overdue for improvements in this racing sim. Let us know your thoughts on this update or anything else Automobilista 2 related in the comments below.
