Drift and Snow Coming to AMS Build 1.5.1

[Paul Jeffrey]

The final build 1.5.1 of Automobilista is heading our way soon, and with it comes a comprehensive representation of the world of drift!

As promised back at the end of 2017, Reiza confirmed they are working hard at developing a drifting element of the simulation and it looks like the work is paying off rather handsomely, with some early previews of some of the cars that make up the new category released to the public late yesterday.

Now many simulation fans know Reiza are pretty good at getting physics and FFB right in AMS, and as such it will be interesting to see how they manage to represent the world of drifting once the 1.5.1 update comes out in the near future. Our first impressions? Well check out the video below:

As well as the Drift mode, the upcoming build has one or two more features and pieces of content to get excited about. Alongside the various drift variants of vehicles (see below images), we will also be getting a Super F-Dirt RallyX buggy and a snow covered winter version of the Buskerud location! If that isn't enough, Reiza also confirms the latest build will contain a "comprehensive revision of the AI code" as well as several fixes and updates. Happy days indeed for fans of AMS...

No release date has been given at this moment in time, so I'll just drop these previews here to pass the time...

Automobilista is a PC exclusive racing game from Reiza Studios, and can be purchased from the Steam network.

Historix

HistorX wont do crap all for anyone it seems, just be wasting your time
Sadly, because it is the best mod I have for AMS but needs to be brought to 2018 and VR.

DX11 should be placed in the right context. There is a difference between textures and the DX format. If textures are looking old (a square head for a person for example), DX wont make it look any better, beyond some lightning added to the square head. I'd rather have up to date textures in DX 9 than old textures in DX11. That last portion: old textures in DX11 i see in rF2.

Thank you and i accept what you say. However, the improvement in rFactor 2 with DX11 over DX9 is quite apparent. Having said that, RaceRoom Experience tracks using DX9 (correct me if I am wrong) are fabulous.

PS. I do not expect AMS to be updated to DX11.

I love AMS but drifting is a retarded non-sport for weeaboos and chavs.

The first minute of this sums it all up

...means they prefer to be still stuck in 2007 when the sim herds sadly went to AC, the rest AMS and rF2
