Automobilista 2: V1.3.0.0 mit zwei neuen Fahrzeugen, Azur-Rennstrecke 2021

(MST/Speedmaniacs.de) - Am Samstagabend hat Reiza Studios die Version 1.3.0.0 für Automobilista 2 freigegeben. Wie bereits in der großen Vorschau zum Update ausführlich behandelt, erfährt die PC-Rennsimulation eine weitere große Überarbeitung in der Simulation der Antriebsstränge und des Reifenmodells und bringt ein neues Force Feedback-Profil sowie viele Fehlerkorrekturen und Detailverbesserungen.

VW Polo und VW Virtus aus der Acelerados-Demoversion gibt es jetzt auch im Hauptspielt Zoom

Auf Grund des Umfangs der Physiküberarbeitungen müssen alle FahrzeugSet-ups auf die Originaleinstellungen zurückgesetzt werden, da anderenfalls das Fahrerlebnis durch die nicht mehr zur neuen Version passenden Abstimmungen negativ beeinflusst wird.

Bei den Spielinhalten stehen mit dem VW Polo und VW Virtus die aus der Acelerados-Demoversion bekannten Fahrzeuge in der TSI Cup-Klasse nun auch in der Rennsimulation zur Verfügung und die Azur-Rennstrecke wurde gegen eine mit der Hilfe von Laserscandaten verbesserte Version ersetzt.

Neben dem neuen FFB-Profil "Default+", ist in V1.3.0.0 eine Fahrerprofilseite und das schon seit längerer Zeit erwartete Multiplayer-Bewertungssystem als öffentliche Betaversion enthalten.

Für die kommende Tage hat Reiza Studios weitere kleine Hotfix-Updates angekündigt, mit denen Optimierungen erfolgen sollen bevor dann in der kommenden Woche auch die Racing USA Pt2-Erweiterung erscheint, deren Spielinhalte über einen längeren Zeitraum verteilt veröffentlicht werden.

Automobilista 2 - V1.3.0.0-Changelog:
IMPORTANT: You must delete your Automobilista 2savegame[User Profile Number]automobilista 2tuningSet-ups to reset your car Set-ups to their original settings - failure to do so may result in a broken driving experience (it is not necessary to delete your other game settings).

IMPORTANT: The extent of the physics changes means that a reset of Time Trial leaderboards will finally taking place in the coming days, so don´t bother much with previous lap times & Set-ups.
