The public Early Access build of Automobilista has received its first update - version 0.8.0.1 is now available to download.
Heading out of the blocks in fine style with their initial Early Access offering of the much anticipated Automobilista 2 racing simulation, Reiza Studios have been quick off the mark getting out the first public hotfix update, deploying build 0.8.0.1 just three days after the EA release dropped.
The new build brings the public version of the simulation to just below the latest build deployed for beta members, and with it comes an nice selection of improvements across many aspects of the title.
Headline changes within the new build are arguably the changes to FFB on some cars, as well as various AI updates (although this is still very much a work in progress).
Hotfix 0.8.0.1 Notes:
GENERAL
To users still struglling with brake sensitivity, please make sure to callibrate your controller to try ensure the full range is being correctly used.
Automobilista 2 is available now via Steam Early Access.
