Automobilista 2 July 2025 Development Update

If the two points to be adressed in MP in this and future updates are solved, i'm fully happy. Great news.

 

Just wondering what the time line is on finishing the 2020-2022 Season Pass. It's 2025 and still haven't heard anything about finally finishing the Brazilian racing Legends, supercar, adrenaline and USA DLC.

I don't want to be that guy but it's been 5 years since people could buy it. I would have thought you would be done with it by now?

 

...does that mean, that this is the GP-Track+the-Nordhschleife?

 

Iirc 2020-2022 Season pass includes:
-only part 1 of Brazilian Legends & Supercars (already released, future parts are not part of the 2020-2022 season pass)
-parts 1 & 2 of Adrenaline (already released)
-parts 1-4 of Racin' USA (parts 1-3 already released, part 4 to be released)
So, the only content from the 2020-2022 season pass that is yet to be released is Racin' USA pt4 (I'm curious as to which tracks will be included in that one).

 

Brazilian racing Legends 30/12/2022
supercar 30/12/2022
adrenaline 26/7/2023
USA 22/11/2022
Its time to wake up sir.

 

• Added suspension & chassis sound effect
  
  Awesome
  I like these added effects, it really helps immersion.

 

So the Nurburgring 2020 track surface will use the 2025 scan data?

 

Only now I've read this post because someone shared it, I don't get it why so much fuss and drama.

The cost associated with the new Nords 2025 is probably associated with the new Lidar data.
Just the fact that people who have old content will have the mesh updated by this data is like a "free gift" from Reiza. Because the new scanned data could be locked into the new DLC and latest track version.

This is a bit disheartening to see because out of most sims, AMS2 actually provides huge quality and value for it's cost compared to many others. There are many things that could be improved and need work to make AMS2 greater than it currently is but the fuss about which content is added IMHO isn't the biggest concern.

OFC I have some personal favourites, for me having Portimão racetrack (Autodromo do Algarve) would make a lot of sense since in recent years it has been way more active than Cascais Estoril
(ELMS , GT OPEN, British GT Champ 23, PT / GT Winter series, SRO GT World Challenge 23 and now in 26, Spanish F4, European F3, Brasilian Porsche Cup 25, Iberian Porsche Cup 24, 25. Algarve Classics every year in october after ELMS... and even more things I don't remember ... also MotoGP, etc...)

It's not like if you've gotten all the DLC's up to this point, this one single DLC will be the one last straw lol... and if you haven't gotten it all, you can either get it in packs, or bundles, or season passes or all inclusive bundles for season pass owners... I mean, after a certain point even if I could get the DLCs for free I would rather pay Reiza for their work just like I enjoy being paid and appreciated for my work...

I'm not even good at driving at the Nords but the track does look amazing, and I'll eventually cruise there sometime.

 

I trimmed out the rest of the quote, those interested can look above for the rest.

I do commend LadyCroussette for stepping up, apologizing for the abruptness of the previous post and taking the time to explain her position. I sympathize with some of the comments, however, I'm one of those weirdos who really does enjoy seeing the differences between the 2020 and 2025 models and am quite willing to pony up the money for the new DLC. As previously mentioned by the dev team rep, there is no obligation to buy the new DLC if you are happy with 2020 version. But I'm happy to help out Reiza.

 

That's indeed a very reasonable way of thinking about this. But only until you see (and hear!) the 2025 version

 

I'm not sure how difficult it might be to update the game's user interface, but it would be cool for many users and myself in particular if you could unlock the limits on the number of championships. I love AMS2 for its huge variety in the choice of racing classes and tracks, as well as the ability to customize custom championships, and, of course, the AI here is the most "alive" among all car simulators. There is still no career mode in the game, no complaints - it will be ready when it is ready. My pain is that I would like to ride in a new class every day to get new experiences, but the restrictions on championship slots do not allow this.I know about presets, this is a very cool feature, but it doesn't allow you to track progress and plan tracks in advance, it's not so much fun anymore: one random race or participation in a virtual competition with its internal drama and goal setting are obviously different things. Of course, you can go through 4 championships and create new ones, but it's so exhausting, you want to create them all at once and never return to this boring and painstaking work.

 

I have an ongoing championship with GTE cars. Do I need to delete it before updating the game? (It's fine for me. I'm last anyways).

 

Well I paid for the season pass with the information that this would be fully developed DLC by the Dev team when the game first release in 2020. They were going to be big DLC but because of everything they were doing they decided to break the DLC into smaller parts to be able to get stuff out and be able to add the other section later. Just like how they did with adrenaline and USA.

I paid for the season pass thinking I would get more just 3 cars from the super car DLC. Part 1 is priced at the same value as the endurance pack 1 that has 6 cars.

I paid in 2020 thinking what I would get is full DLC for those themes not Part 1 of it. If they would have said from the beginning "hay guys so this will be done in parts and you will only get part 1" I would have not purchased the season pass. I paid for the Brazilian Grand Prix Legends not Brazilian Grand Prix Legends part 1. I paid for Street Supercars not Street Supercars part 1. It's even listed on the Steam page you are getting Street Supercars not Street Supercars Part 1 in the season pass description.

In my mind and how this has been communicated this DLC are not done and any additional DLC that is connected to those titles are included. Here is the direct wording from the Steam page - "includes at least 6 Premium Race Tracks with multiple versions, 3 Expansion Packs with several cars and tracks along with other smaller packages still to be announced." The DLC listing still hasn't been updated to reflect anything that has happened to the DLC. Monza and Barcelona are not even listed as the 2 additional premium tracks included in the DLC.

How can this not be considered bad communication and false advertising of there products.

 

I never heard of this car nor this series. I was very excited for the GTE Aston first, but now I want to test this one.

So, as any stupid person I went to ChatGPT for answers. Here's what he told me:

* 2025 is their 6th season;
* It serves as an entry series for the bigger endurance series;
* It has two cars: the JS2-R for the GT class and a JSP4 for the prototype class;
* It usually has 6 rounds around Europe. Some circuits they raced on: Spa, Monza, Portimão, Paul Ricard, Barcelona, Red Bull Ring, Imola, Aragon, Mugello and Le Mans.

Since Reiza has said more stuff will be added to this new category I'm assuming we will get the JSP4 prototype in the future.
I can already visualize a career mode where you choose to follow the endurance node. You start as Brazilian Império Endurance, go for the European Ligier Series and then IMSA or "Euro Endurance" wink-wink.

Here's the official site for the Ligier Series: Ligier European Series -

Yes, that got my attention as well. I've been playing lots of RaceRoom and these sound effects really add to the immersion.

 

Yeah i'm really excited about this! I know they grate on people a lot but I found those kinds of sounds in ACC to be quite fun - much more engaging. I got up early to start (and finish) work early because I can't wait for the update!

 

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
Don't forget to uninstall your mods before applying the update.

 

Don't forget:

Awesome Reiza !
Looking forward to strapping into the Ligier at the 2025 Nordschleife.

 

I'm happy to hear that you fixed at least one longstanding bug with the multiplayer getting stuck!
Always fearing not being able to continue a race sucks

 

Picture this:

1. Call in sick from work;
2. Boot up AMS2;
3. Get into a public lobby;
4. Get the pole position;
5. P2 is your boss.

Absolute cinema.

I just found this dude's channel on YouTube. He has lots of onboards driving the Ligier JS2-R around many European tracks.
I'm in love with that engine sound. <3
