Automobilista 2 V1.5.3.2, F-HiTech & Historical Track Pack Pt2 RELEASED - Now Updated to V1.5.3.5

V1.5.3.5 is now live - this is another complementary update to the latest release, pushing to address some of the remaining physics & AI issues and performance discrepancies.

AI remains unstable for the faster 125cc & Superkart classes, we´ll need a bit more time to fully get on top of these. The slower 4-stroke karts however shouild be working well.

V1.5.3.5 CHANGELOG

GENERAL

• Slightly increased wetness level of Damp Track Preset
• Further minor reduction of initial water puddle size scalar so that puddles don´t grow as deep over a wet session

VEHICLES

Please use the AI discrepancy report thread if you are able to contribute with a detailed report - we need to know lap times, settings and conditions to gauge whether the AI was performing as expected to begin with, and if yes whether there needs to be adjustment given the discrepancy against your own pace.

 

Correct - basically some tracks had baseline grip a fraction too low and there were some inconsistencies in surface properties. These are fairly imperceptible changes except for a few specific tracks, Azure and Cleveland being two notable ones where baseline grip was abit too low.
