Reiza Studios have today confirmed a slight delay to their mammouth Nordschleife circuit coming to AMS 2 - moving back release a further week while they add some last minute art updates to the massive venue.
GT3/4 DLC, Nurburgring GP remain on course for release today.
New update also scheduled for today.
Just the Nordschleife will be delayed by around 1 week.
Big updates are happening in the world of Automobilista 2 later today, with the massive new update and DLC pack plus free content scheduled to hit the simulation this afternoon - however players excited to get their hands of the legendary Nordschleife track will have to wait just a little bit longer, as Reiza Studios last night confirmed the long version of the track will be delayed a short while as they add some final finishing touches to the German venue.
To help ease the wait, let's check out some awesome new preview screenshots to pass the time until the DLC drops...
AMS 2 is available now, exclusive to PC.
The AMS 2 sub forum here at RaceDepartment is a great place to hang out and discuss the simulation with your fellow sim racing fans. Head over, say hello and come join in the action - start a new thread today!
Finally bought AMS2 with a good discount on Steam I have a Quest 2, will this run ok with AMS2? I haven't tried any Racing sims yet in VR, this seems a good place to start if the Quest 2 can handle it
Delayed????? Unacceptable!!!! Off with their heads!!! The Nords has to be in every game on the planet, we demand it!!! Microsoft already put the Nords in Fight Simulator. They know what's up. Get with the program Reiza.
That pic of the GP layout looks great. The GT3 cars look good too. It's alright to wait
a bit more for Nords while enjoying the classic GP layout with these modern cars.

The only thing I see in the steam sale at 50% off is the hockenhiem pack which for the most part was free to everyone that had the game when the pack was released.
A bit strange that if I buy the AMS2 + Season pass I'd save $10 @ $92 compared to just buying the stand alone season pass @ $102?
What is the ultimate edition?
According to steam I have all 3 in the collection, I'd assume ultimate would include the season pass? But I only own the base title and was given the hockenhiem pack....a bit confusing.
Automobilista 2 V1.0.5.0 RELEASED!
Automobilista 2 V1.0.5.0 is now available, featuring the much awaited GT3 / GT4 car pack and the Nurburgring Circuit.
Release Promo - Temporary free access to the Nurburgring track!
With the Nordschleife and 24h layouts not quite ready for this release, we have elected to temporarily offer the other modern Nurburgring layouts FREE to all users until the long layouts are added to the package at some point next week.
Please be advised that upon the addition of the Nordschleife & 24h layouts, all Nurburgring versions will revert to being available only for owners of the DLC or packages that include it.
Updated Force Feedback
This update adds fresh Force Feedback developments, the most significant being:
- Damping now adjustable via in-game FFB menu *
- Enhanced tyre flatspots **
- Enhanced feedback during braking
- Enhanced road feel (adjustable via FX slider) ***
- Improved scrub effect (adjustable via FX slider)
- Effectively eliminated FFB "deadzone" around center in some cars
- Improved gyro moment accuracy
- Now using SETA patch offset/deformation for mechanical trail (much more "organic" feel on edge of grip)
- Tyre temperature and pressure will affect feedback
- More distinctive oversteer / understeer feedback
* We recommend using damping in game vs on wheel setting. Damping in game scales with vehicle, so roughly same level for all cars. On wheel / driver damping doesn't scale with wheel gain, so if you have gain too low, damping will overwhelm FFB signal.
** flatspots are currently presented in "raw" form. Given tire is split into many small patches, you will receive "impulses" as there are "flat patches" on tire. It depends on amount of wear on individual patch. Hence the note "raw signal".
*** Road feel is based on physical surface mesh roughness / bumps - which on real vehicles would be "fed back" to the driver via vibration "travelling" thru chassis and as a result will be felt on steering rim especially cars and race cars that have racks bolted directly to chassis, without any sort of insulating "rubber mounts" - take note this would only "vibrate", not "move" wheel rim left-right. Given our gaming controllers are effectievly "1DOF" device - ie. able to move only left or right, we are shaping this vibration such that it can be felt on them too.
