Automobilista 2 August 2022 Development Update

Really excited for this update, even more so than previous ones, like a kid excited for Xmas. Shame it will probably not drop for us though until Sunday morning in the land of Oz.

 

Agreed - tomorrow (Friday) would be great as early as possible. Monday morning turning up to work would be a challenge but a good challenge to not overcome

 

Hopefully soon we will see these waved by trackside marshals

 

Yeah, the madness engine has shown it can do loose surface racing. I am really looking forward to the Adrenaline pack the most tbh. (Well, I am looking forward to 1.4 of course as well )

 

Pretty sure in an old Geoff Cramond GP game you used to see cars being lifted away.

 

You mean levitating away by magic?

 

Yeah they might of to be fair , but my imagination as a child did the rest. Good for the times though

 

Hmm levitating away by magic actually sounds marginally preferable to suddenly disappearing by magic! But just having them visible for more than a few seconds, with yellow flags and associated race and strategy implications, is the main thing for me regardless by what method they eventually disappear, magic or otherwise

 

So that means go faster, right?

 

It means time to see how many 360s you can do.

 

Microprose Geoff Cramond "Grand Prix 2". Yes, stranded cars where lifted off the track by an animated crane.

 

Till then just follow the yellow brick road carefully.

 

I remember very well GP4, in those days it was magical.
Today we have software but above all CPU and GPU from another planet much more powerful and the current sims have limited themselves to making the car disappear like a Harry Potter magic

 

This video reminds me, while unlikely, seeing some fire simulation come with the update would be nice too! I believe AMS1 had it to a degree (you could hear the burning sound effects even if it was just black smoke) and rF1 definetely had it so it would be a neat thing to see come back

 

Hahaha awesome! Never knew this existed!

 

Good reason to skip church this weekend

 

I've got an inkling they're saying Saturday just because they know that for obvious, Belgian related reasons everyone's going to be busy on Sunday

 

Also with it being Saturday morning Brasil time, if Daytona also gets released, gives time to try one of my fave silly things in AMS1, push to pass superspeedway racing with Stock Car Brasil under the lights at Daytona, before NASCAR does their superspeedway racing Saturday Night.

 

Ha, who goes to church? Only for weddings or funerals and at my age it is more along the lines of funerals

 

Saturday will be spent with my inkling splatting others in the Splatoon 3 online test xD
