Reiza Studios has updated Automoblista 2 to version 1.2.3.0, and added two new cars, improved Real Weather features and another round of fixes and improvements.
Automobilista 2’s August 2021 update is now live on Steam. In typical fashion, developer Reiza Studios has offered new, free content plus several other improvements and fixes to the racing sim.
The new content this month is a classic American muscle car in two flavours. The Chevrolet Corvette C3 has been added to both the Vintage Touring Car class as well as to the GT Classics Class in the "R" Spec to compete with the recently added Porsche RSR. The Corvette C3 was teased last month but was offered only to AMS2 beta users before this build.
Another significant improvement that has been added in this build is the addition of accurate environment temperatures in the Real Weather system. The Real Weather system in AMS2 allows users to select accurate current weather for track locations, and even historically accurate weather when past dates are chosen.
On the physics front, many of the cars have been given a tire tread adjustment to go with the potentially significant changes to the clutch inertia and tire tread fixes.
V1.2.3.0 CHANGELOG
