VFX Pro · Dec 31, 2023

I just tested all the audio fixes, and they are just fantastic!!

PieroX · Dec 31, 2023

Congrats on the new content guys !
An idea when we will be able to do some time trial with it ?

sampopel · Dec 31, 2023

I'm getting what appears to be the shadow of an invisible AI car driving around Le Mans when I'm doing a private LMDh quali session in the dark.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!!

UnclePat · Dec 31, 2023

Thank you Reiza, awesome!
Happy New Year!

Shodan0000 · Dec 31, 2023

Awesome! Going to try it tomorrow when I am home again, just before I send my simagic mini in for repairs (it does not power my new fx wheel properly) and then I will have to wait weeks probably before I can play again, but at least I will have gotten a taste of the new update!

Jehuty · Dec 31, 2023

Marvellous track and cars , Reiza i love you.
Only on think to ask

It's possible to lower the camera in that view ? The miror in middle of the windshield is "disturbing".

Thanks again for this RC !!!

Flavio Engel · Dec 31, 2023

Just did some laps in le mans with the new cars.
Amazing great job.. Now time to prepare dinner... Tomorrow there will be more.

Happy new year for everyone in here. Cheers

Did you try a steam file check as well?

Seems to have fixed the issue, I'll report back once I get more time to lap, but so far it didn't crash

Also, does class scoring count GT3 Gen 1 and 2 as a whole GT3 class?

stealthradek · Dec 31, 2023

You did it crazy people!

Awesome release and ON TIME!

On we go to 2024!

And unsurprisingly a massive peak of players too (2335 according to Steamcharts): Automobilista 2 - Steam Charts

Jack Sorensen · Dec 31, 2023

A big congratulations to you at Reiza Studios, an incredible job you have done right up to the last few hours!. Sauber c9, Group C and GT1 on Le Mans Wow, also the new LMDh and GT3 Gen2 are super. A very Happy New Year to you all!

Can mechanical failures be presented more impressively? I set the mechanical errors to x10 but still don't notice any mechanical error in a 10 lap race.

We've been asking for more aggressive random failures over on the beta, but they haven't wanted to move on it yet sadly...

Just remember it does change per class. Older cars blow up a lot more, as do extreme vehicles like the Group C and Copa trucks

Their default time ranges are scaled to be broadly inline with what the real vehicle in question is likely to suffer. 10x is probably not enough to get very high amounts of failures in a 10 lap race at most tracks with modern hardware.

yeah they share a grid grouping but G2 will be a bit faster afaik

kkdrummer · Dec 31, 2023

Thanks for an amazing 2023 to Reiza team! Happy new year all!

Razz · Dec 31, 2023

Well done to all at Reiza, the icing on the cake of a great year for AMS2.
Raise a glass to yourselves tonight!

It´s the end of an incredible year for Automobilista 2 - one that brought the sim major gameplay developments, many exciting new cars and tracks and scores of new players. It has also been its highest grossing year, almost four years after its initial release.

To celebrate the end of this great year in style with old and new players alike, the very last day of the year brings a new game update as AMS2 hits v1.5.5 along with Le Mans and several state-of-the-art 2023 Endurance race cars. The two new DLCs will remain free for all at release and into the first few days of 2024 so everyone gets to enjoy AMS2 at its very best.

We wish everyone a magnificent 2024 - we will continue pushing flat-out to keep it filled with great sim racing!

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Developments that haven´t made it to this release but that are in the works for future updates:

1- Developments to the headlight options - we have added a feature for AI to flash their headlights at incoming traffic as an immersion feature but there isn´t actually a high beam for the AI or the player yet - we are working on update is to improve visibility under standard lights. A higher intensity beam that you can flash coming up lapped traffic is for next cycle

2- More detailed LMDh ERS modelling - while the performance of PU unit and haversting / deployment overall is pretty accurate, the current model doesn´t simulate all properties of the hybrid system as mandated by the rules - likewise for the next cycle

3- Seasonal foliage and a few remaining trackside objects will be added to Le Mans in a complementary update

4- We are aware of some users regularly running into loss of controller input and / or calibration with the release of new updates, USB port swaps or controller driver updates. We have been trying hard to debug this for a few months to no avail. Usually just restarting the game resolves that, but if it doesn´t instead of creating a new profile, you may just delete Doucuments\Automobilista 2\savegame\[ProfileNumber]\automobilista 2\profiles\default.controllersettings.v1.03.sav and that will only force you to start your controller configuration from scratch rather than all game configs. We continue pushing to find a definitive fix.

5- The Multiplayer Logging Report thread is going live later on today - please use it to post logs from Multi sessions where you might have had issues in; league / event organizers who are able to collect the logs from participants on a same session that ran into trouble will be especially helpful to debug remaining reliability issues.

6- Steam pages for the new DLCs will go live with a complementary update later this week.

As the saying goes, “A Reiza Studios sim in the hand is worth [more than] two Motorsport Games in the bush!”

Andrew Curtis · Dec 31, 2023

Great new content as always.
I have two questions, I can't seem to find where I would assign an AI co-driver, where is this?
Also did Reiza add the new feature to limit the number of visible vehicle at night, I can't find this either.
