Automobilista 2 November 2021 Development Update

Another great update thanks. Now all we need is the ability to edit OUR OWN name instead of being stuck with an unrealistic Steam handle when running an offline single player race. (I won't use my own name as my Steam handle as it is not a sensible thing to do for privacy/security reasons).
I still hope this option will be added at some point.

 

By it's lonesome, yes. With a 90s champ car, no.

I doubt Surfers is going to actually happen, let alone in this pack. It'd be a massive, massive, massive track to pull off as it's a city center style street circuit so it'd need a lot of time in the oven. I'd think if they were to commit the resources to something of that scope I'd not be surprised it's a track DLC, especially as they could have the multiple layouts and a few different years to reuse some of the custom assets they'd have created.

 

My advice would be to find 3-5 friends to hop into an online lobby with you at the same time. That tends to bring people out better than a dozen lobbies with 1-2 people in each.

 

Well, that's what we do since release...

 

Correct... there's been 2 layouts. The original layout, and the layout after CART/Indycar stopped racing there. It'd be nice to have both if we did get it, kinda like we have for Adelaide.

 

Open wheelers aren't my thing, though I may pick up Part 2 for the circuits if they're interesting - Cleveland is a good start, though I'm assuming that's not the 'exotic' one (Monterrey?).

The Nissan, Aston and Mercedes are right up my street though, can't wait for these to expand their respective grids and add immersion.

But all pales into insignificance compared to the AI customisation news. Not being able to customise grids and drivers how I want them was the main black mark I had against the game, so this is fantastic news. I'm currently on a historic racing binge (pre 1970s content) with Assetto Corsa but this will be perfect for my modern GT, 90s and 70s desires. Thanks!

Nice news about Monaco too; if there's a historic version planned for the Historic Track Packs next year, I hope these benefit too.

Really appreciate this commitment to expanding the existing classes in game; I hope this keeps going as the richer the touring/sportscar classes the more immersion they bring to me personally. Happy to pay for them though!

 

Yep, the Mexican one. Boring circuit but quite exotic surroundings and one that wouldn't be expected.




I certainly don't expect this one!

 

The same cars are also in iracing. One thing does not exclude the other

 

Will there be online mismatches in races with AII if everyone changes the AI's names and performance at his discretion, or will there be some kind of "Standard AI" in MP?

 

Would be downright ... exotic

 

Bravo Reiza! So happy about AI editing capability. Didn’t expect this to appear until the new year because of interface design challenges, but I’m fine with text edits to get started.

 

Sounds good...

 

I just hope it can find the 1000's of laps I've already run

 

How can you do that To me it looks like any race track from anywhere in the world. Amazing g knowledge mate

 

That was Salvador wasn't it?

 

Are you me this is what I'm doing atm. Great distraction while Reiza iron out the kinks in AMS2 physics.

 

Long sleeve please, I'm a vampire and start smoking if exposed to sun....



Edit, next time I'll try do multi quotes
