AMS 2 | Update Delayed Until August 11th - New Silverstone Previews

[Paul Jeffrey]

Reiza Studios have confirmed the upcoming new AMS 2 update has been pushed back a few days to August 11th, as work continues on bringing modern and historic layouts of Silverstone to the simulation.

• Updated delayed to 11/08/2020.
• Silverstone modern and various historic versions to be added as DLC.

Originally scheduled to drop on August 7th, the latest DLC release and major big build update for Automobilista 2 has been pushed back by developers Reiza Studios, as they continue to refine and fine tune the new content coming to the simulation.

Of course we don't yet know exactly what the latest build update will include in terms of fixes and feature enhancements, and we are expecting more than just the Silverstone Grand Prix circuit and historic configurations, so obviously the delay will be felt by the sim racing community who have an interest in Automobilista 2. That said, the Brazilian development team are always keen to ensure their content releases match up to the standards expected of the current playerbase, and as such it is pleasing to see the studio are will to push back release by a few short days in order to ensure everything is to their satisfaction before releasing the new build and DLC.

Want something to do while you wait? How about watching this nice little video of the 1991 Grand Prix venue in action;

That's a useful document. Have you posted it in the Reiza forum? The devs are happy to get detailed bug reports because it makes squashing bugs much easier.

I made that to post in their forum. Despite being old, I've gone through it and I haven't found anything on that list that has been fixed yet. If you know of something, let me know and I'll update the list.

@ohyeah2389 I think it would be better if you and Reiza discussed the list. Doubtless, I would miss things or give incorrect information.

The DLC is a real hard sell for me. Sure it'll be nice razzing around Silverstone a few times, but then what... Ropey AI, empty multiplayer servers. Looking at the MP servers in my prime time the other night 6 people were on, half of which were in a cart race i couldn't join anyway.

I can apricate AMS2 for what it is, but it feels like throwing money at dead wood at the minute through the actual experience, Multiplayer might never get a hold, but i would be happy to keep buying if they tighten up the AI and sold some structured championships that work.

That "Fasters" Fosters ad is distracting, just replace it with a real brand.

Think a minute. For which possible reason it has been renamed (other than to personnally annoy you) ?

Even worse there should be two logos on the bridge and it shouldn't be italicised! Time for a refund.

Props for the humour value though

Duh, I understand why it was been changed. They should switch it for a brand they can use, rather than a faux logo.

I thought that was obvious in my question, but apparently not.

They are improving the AI fastly, so i'm very satisfied with that, championship and multiplayer they will update in the next updates, so that´s ok here...

Definitly, AMS2 isnt money at dead wood. It´s a ''must to buy'' easily.

My god your reply got four thanks. The standard of intelligence in here has dropped so dramatically. Where do these people come from?
I despair for the next generation, devoid of intelligence and common sense.

You ask for it to be changed for another brand.....but if Reiza can't get/afford the rights to "Fosters", what makes you think they could afford another brand. And what brand, a different alcohol brand "Carlsberg"?? But then they never sponsored that part of Silverstone so IMO that would be worse.

We all know it's a subtle change just to not fall foul of IP infringement. Better "Fasters" than some other brand name (real or not) that has nothing in common with the way "Fosters" looks and is coloured.

They have Goodyear. I think using a faux logo looks worse than using a different, valid logo. So no, I don't agree that "better Fasters". Realism is the most important thing, just use more Goodyear logos. Nothing suspends realism more than a faux logo. Jesus, this isn't some crazy outlandish thinking, don't use a faux logo, it looks ****. Oh God I didn't think I would have to explain this and take a load of abuse. What the hell happened to this forum?

This forum used to be really good. People who liked sim racing, mainly, If you wanted to stir trouble, this was usually not on the list. Now it is.

AI in the latest beta is really good. They are making great advances in that area

No, they already have Goodyear. Just use that. Using "Fasters" adds a fake layer that is not needed. Why can't you understand this, it's not a complicated argument? Modders do this all the time, but the skin can be easily changed. In AMS2 the track skin cannot be changed.
