Automobilista 2 May 2024 Development Update - The Road to V1.6 Pt1

People are excited about the latest content teasers, imagine how excited people will get when Reiza reveals the other cars and tracks.

 

My hype is reaching critical levels, all that content, 1.6 physics, I cant wait.

 

Hopefully some slower cars like a similar FIA F4 or a newer F3? Maxbe Mazda MX-5?

 

Very, very pleased with the addition of the LMP2! What are the chances of getting the French hypercars, Alpine A424 and Peugeot 9X8? I know the 1.6 update is focused on IMSA, but I think those cars would be a nice addition in the upcoming updates, along with Ferrari (fingers crossed!).

I'm also glad Reiza is updating the lighting properties. AMS 2 looks very good, but the color palette always felt a bit too saturated to me. Hopefully, the game will look more natural after 1.6.

Yes ! F4 and Mazda MX5 would be fantastic additions !

 

As a frequent reader, yet infrequent poster I'm genuinely looking forward to 1.6. Teasers aside, the improvement to the core physics, AI and bug squashing have been impressive given where AMS2 started. Now IMSA content and a more realistic hybrid system simulation, updated tyres and AI calibration, improved graphics, UI refresh and more...

Keep cooking Reiza, your dedication and passion are most appreciated.

 

Still hoping the Detroit Street Circuit is the one that's coming

 

It is not my fault, it was Reiza

 

Actually I agree - it's unorthodox and not actually a great circuit, but it'd rock to have it available to put in the pretend calendar and nice to have another street circuit.

 

Yeah I want more street circuits. Plus the track looks like it's here to stay since it's been heavily invested by GM and Roger Penske himself.

Sims in general have a paltry selection of streets and I want more bumpy tracks.

 

Wasn't the racing bad around it?

 

It can be. I've also seen good racing on it.

 

Well I do not watch a lot of American racing series so that's why I do not think it might be the best. I also think the layout is weird

 

It is pretty weird, I admit. Admittedly it would be a fantastic stand-in for Phoenix for 90s F1 championships. Have you been watching IMSA? I had never heard of it but now watch it religiously since getting the cars in game - hoping Sebastien Bourdais and Renger van der Zande can pull it out the bag in the big yellow 01 Cadillac.

 

No since the times do not fit me

 

Aaaaah that's a shame. Admittedly, the races are available after the fact on youtube in their entirety, but I can appreciate the value of watching in real-time.

 

Their live on you tube, in the UK anyway.

 

Not here in Sweden. I have to use a VPN

 

Atrocious racing this year at Detroit. More Wreckfest than anything else. IMSA especially, but also Indy wasn't much better.

 

Yes, by every account.

At least 10 other iconic street circuits that would be far more popular and useful if Reiza has time to invest in doing one (and the modelling requires a huge amount of effort and therefore cost).
