Reiza Studios have today deployed a sizeable new update for Automobilista 2 - adding many fixes and improvements to the simulation following on from the major release of earlier this month.
Not content with a massive build release to see in the New Year, Reiza Studios have again taken a chunk out of your internet download allowance with the release of build 1.1.0.4 earlier today - adding yet further refinements to their current generation racing title.
Considered by the studio as a 'complementary' release, but seen by almost everyone else as a major build update, V1.1.0.4 deployed to the simulation earlier today - and with it comes a wide range of satisfying sounding improvements to a simulation that continues to make great strides from what was a shaky start to development.
Update Notes
Automobilista 2 has been updated to v1.1.0.4 - this is a substantive complementary update to the release from two weeks ago, the highlights being several improvements & corrections for Spa, new tire & driveline physics developments along with some new AI logic that should greatly improve their skill dodging traffic in multiclass races.
Please note that while there is no need to delete your Automobilista 2 settings folder in this update, several cars require a setup reset to default to receive some of their latest adjustments as marked in the changelog below.
V1.1.0.4 CHANGELOG

UI & HUD

- Fixed bug causing AI simulated times to fluctuate widely
- fixed issue where AIs would brake without reason on pit entry or exit
- Further general AI performance callibration for throttle & brake application, tire rolling resistance & drivetrain losses (to better match player straightline speed), launch speed (slow starts still remain an issue with Group A & Procar)
