Automobilista 2 V1.4.1 has finally arrived - the new update packs a mega list of game-changing improvements, new features, cars and a great surprise - the 2022 reform of Spa-Francorchamps as a free addition to the existing Spa-Francorchamps DLC!

The official release of Racin´ USA Pt3 has been delayed while we work out some new items for the pack, but you won´t have to wait longer to do some oval racing - the two ovals already confirmed as part of Racin´ USA Pt3 along with all oval variants of F-USA Gen1-3 from Pt2 as well as Daytona from Pt1 will all be available with V1.4 tomorrow, the Pt 3 content as a free trial for all owners of the base game until they become part of the official Racin´ USA Pt3 release!

Introducing Advanced Mechanical Damage Modeling: AMDM is currently featuring with most open wheelers, GTs and faster prototypes. To make use of it, make sure to enable MECHANICAL FAILURES in GAMEPLAY UI. Try a race any of the historic open wheelers against AI (especially F-Vintage) with random failures enabled. to more readily experience the new feature. Custom AI creators may want to look into the new reliability parameter we added. We will extend this feature to more classes in the near future, but the most notoriously unreliable race cars already are supported

We have more relevant info about this update and how to get the best of the new features incoming - for now, here is the complete changelog since the last official release.

Automobilista 2 has been updated to V1.4.1.2 - this is a complementary update to the latest release to correct some issues & add further improvements.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
Time Trial boards are back on and fully reset - tomorrow the first TTotW combos will be announced!
With F-USA oval physics now properly sorted after some fumbling over the weekend, users should take special not of the weight jacker - designed specifically for oval tracks, the weight jacker raises the ride height of the right rear increasing the load on the front left wheel by approximately 90lb from setting 0 through 5. Raising the jacker induces oversteer properties both aerodynamically and mechanically allowing for better cornering, especially noticeable the tighter the turn. Lowering the weight jacker optimizes the aero profile for better straight line speed. This can be adjusted both in-car as well as from the setup screen.
For the time being classes other than the F-USA do not have AI set up for oval racing so they may not work very well there - in future updates we will add oval configuration to a few more classes that suit it and AI oval overrides to benefit all other classes.
Option for helmet livery customization is not fully ready yet but will be added shortly.

V1.4.1.2 CHANGELOG

Historic Nords this weekend, say it is so @norbs...

It is so.

[StanDaam]

Even Jimmy Broadbent is going back to AMS2!

[pixelboy]

Get into it StanDamm.. come racing with us..

[norbs]

Jimmy the delicate flower... happy he is enjoying it.

[durbster]

I introduced a mate to AMS2 the other night. He's been casually sim-racing for a while and is on the verge of throwing a lot of £ to get all the kit to do it properly.

I have to say, it wasn't ideal. In the first race, he had that thing where the game's visuals crash - the screen goes black but you can hear that you're still in the race. We also had some really bad stutters, possibly the worst I've seen. One happened as I was heading into a corner in the lead of the race, and by the time it came back I was on my way into the gravel.

Then there are still quite embarrassing things like AI cars regularly driving down the straights with their suspension collapsed on one side and wheels on full lock, or cars sitting in the pitlane spinning on the spot at 8,000 rpm.

Ultimately, it didn't put him off because it's still a great sim and we had a load of fun, but I hope the devs are conscious of how absolutely crucial first impressions are, and how these kind of things shape people's opinions of the product for a very long time.
