Automobilista: Hotfix 1.5.3 Update Now Live

[Paul Jeffrey]

Reiza Studios have today deployed a new update for Automobilista.

Currently the latest subject of our 'Rate The Sims' feature here on RaceDepartment (comment and vote HERE), a new build of golden oldie racing simulation Automobilista released on Steam earlier today - featuring a few nice fixes and improvements that Reiza Studios have deemed necessary following the most recent build update for the game.

Update details below:

• Added a hardcoded SteeringFFBMult value so a car will still have Force Feedback even if value is missing or zeroed in its physics file
• Fixed fanatec DD base features initialization in compatibility mode
• Fixed centering spring on game startup for Logitech wheels & small adjustments to rotation range method
• Fixed Fanatec wheel rumble being turned off in wrong way
• Donington: Switched off collision for pit building roof so Trucks won´t be stuck
• Snetterton: Fixed crash in AMS Dedi loading Snetterton 300; Fixed filters so track will be available for FTruck series; Small graphical and object updates

Automobilista is available now exclusively for PC.

i love it- ams2 beta in a month (if all goes well), lets update ams1

Another ‘final’ version of AMS. I think Reiza will never stop development on this game! I hope they will support AMS2 for that many years as well with updates, so we can enjoy it until 2030!

Still no anti-stall and ERS and stuff like that.. And what about the Drift mode crashes? I thought they'd be focused on fixing that! Anyway..good to see it's still being updated. Come on Reiza, don't disappoint us!

Not sure (I may be very wrong) but I think they said somewhere *this* would be the "final-final" patch. From now on, it's AMS2.

My Logitech G29 still works strange in game. After 1.5.26 steering wheel lock is 900 in every vehicle. Same problem with DFGT but roll back to previous version fix problem for it.
Also strange behavior of in-game wheel: sometimes it turn on same angle as physical wheel but then roll back on some angle. Seems like game read and add to in-game wheel real turn angle but later correct this angle to in-game car lock parameter.

It's quite clear they love what they do. They're keeping polishing more and more not for sales anymore but to make their sim shine.

The only thing I want is rFactor 2's Nordschleife in AMS. So rFactor 2 has content from AMS innit and AMS has content from rFactor 2 innit. Best crossover ever.

Joint EU/US AMS RaceDepartment Club races on Saturdays at typical EU time...can we get that for 2 weeks to see if there are people willing to come out and race? I'd say to agree with this comment if you would come out to race, but I'm not sure if everyone will see this.

RD is the biggest sim racing site right now...let's remind people why AMS 2 is most likely gonna be amazing by at least giving AMS 1 a proper sendoff with some proper online races! @Paul Jeffrey I know you're a big AMS fan so would you be willing to host these races leading up to the AMS 2 launch?

So on top of everything he does here you want him to be event host as well?

Gee, I hope this isn't the last update. Still some large issues that need fixing.

God I love AMS. Everything maxed out running reshademe my 2060 super is just idling at 42 degrees, 30% usage.
Everything looks so clear.
I fire up ACC my gpu spikes to 70 degrees, 99% usage and displays a blurry screen.
I’ve decided I hate the unreal engine and have no interest in running anything on it.

That beetle in AMS2

 

[Raikku]

Was there irl-serie for that beetle in South America?

 

[Stephen O'Sullivan]

The Copa Fusca, I think.

 

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

It's based off the Brazilian Fusca cup indeed but there's also a similar cup in Uruguay as well

They said they will release another hotfix, but only for the drift mode CTDs.

After today's update AMS is crashing after track loading screen is done. Anybody experiencing this?
