Automobilista 2 V1.0.5.5 & Nurburgring Pack RELEASED, now updated to V1.0.5.6

This update adds the Nurburgring Nordschleife, brings more AI behavior adjustments & extensive physics revisions for GT, Stock Car & Prototype series.

IMPORTANT! The latest physics modifications to GT3 / GT4 cars require a setup reset to default in setup UI to take effect - no need to delete all your settings, just go into the setup screen and click "Reset to Default" when choosing any of the new GT3 / GT4 cars added in v1.0.5.0 (other cars haven´t had setup range changes so shouldn´t need a reset).

IMPORTANT! As previously announced, with the release of the Nurburgring DLC Pack, the Nurburgring layouts included in the previous update are now only available for owners of the DLC or the packages that include it.

Our next game update towards the end of the month will add layouts combining variants of the modern track with the Nordschleife. Next year we also plan to include an historical version of the track to this pack, with no additional charge to those that already own it.

There seems to be a small glitch on the Steam backend not allowing us to make the DLC page live, even though it had already been approved by Valve. Unfortunately this also holds the track from being available for users who already own it (via Season Pass or Premium Track Pack).

We´ve already requested support to get this rectified ASAP, and will let you all know as soon as it is - apologies for the inconvenience.
