Reiza Studios have today released a new build update for the Automobilista 2 racing simulation - adding a number of fixes and improvements alongside the brand-new Ginetta G40 GT5 and Cup series.
Another sizeable build update for Automobilista 2 has dropped today, as Reiza Studios continue to work hard polishing and updating the ever improving AMS 2 racing simulation. In this latest build release, allocated the V1.1.1.0 marker, the Brazilian development team have brought another wide selection of tweaks and improvements to the title, especially around both the physics and AI within the game.
Of those physics updates it is worth particular note to see the developers have further refined the tyre drop off values for the cars within the sim, hopefully bringing tyre life behaviour within the sim closer to the values of the real world equivalents.
As well as a healthy selection of changes to the main build of the title itself, another nice feature of this update is the inclusion of the small but mighty Ginetta G40 - in both Cup and GT5 form. Known for the intense racing action it produces over in the Ginetta Junior series in the UK, the car is an absolute favourite of the younger racing driver, and should make a very welcome addition to the simulation for us of the virtual racing fancy.
You can check out the full update change log from the new build below:

V1.1.0.5 -> V1.1.1.0 CHANGELOG
CONTENT
- Added Ginetta G40 to GT5 series
- Added Ginetta G40 Cup series
GENERAL
- LiveTrack now maintains rubber state between sessions.on a race weekend (rather than resetting to a "green" track at the start of every session)
- Reduced base grip from a green track & increased grip range to max grip state
UI & HUD
- Added option for German localization
- Fixed wrong description on 'Edit HUD' menu option
- Adjusted size and layout of ICM strategy menu to make current strategy more readable
- Fixed scrollbar on Start Championship list
- Fixed incorrect heavy fog icon
- Fixed Race sessions showing practice length on lobby detail page
- Fixed Add session start time to lobby detail page
- Remove stray icon from formation lap info HUD element
- Fixed text alignment of Retired/Pit indicator on replay/spectator leaderboards
- Added missing translations for some recently released tracks
- Added missing Edit Hud Description, Drive layout, FFB Damping translations
- Fixed PIT text overflowing container on HUD leaderboard in some languages
- Fixed issue where simulate/retirement screen could become unresponsive when choosing no during exit confirmation.
- Adjusted loading screen gradient to provide more positive feedback at lower levels
- Added leaderboard class icon for GT40Cup, Group A, JCW, TC60
PHYSICS
- Further differential & driveline fine tuning; further reduced crankshaft mass (reduces overall engine inertia); reduced axle shaft mass & slightly reduced wheel bearing losses (slightly increases top speed & improves differential functionality)
- Further tire tread adjustments for all cars (generally less speed sensitivity, slightly sharper peak slip angles)
- Revised tire grip falloff rates when under and over optimal operating temperature, & added rates to several tires that didn´t feature substantial falloff rates
- Further revisions to rain tire compounds
- Slightly reduced efficiency of slicks on wet surface
- Slightly increased tire automatic preheating ratio before race starts
- Adjusted optimal temperature ranges for carbon & steel brakes
- Adjusted brake heating & cooling rates for all cars
- GT3 cars now use steel brakes instead of carbon ceramic
- Revised Kart / superkart physics (tires, driveline)
- Fixed errors in front tire tread for Fusca Classic FL
- Fixed error on Super V8 Hard tire compound
- Replaced Roco tire physics to better match the one from its P3 opponents
- Slightly adjusted F-Classic G3M1 torque curve
- Moved default brake bias slightly rearwards for F1 cars, Porsches, P1 cars (require setup reset)
- Minor Procar Group A, Caterham, Porsche Cup & Superkart revisions (require setup reset)
- Minor F-V10 G1 / Mclaren MP4-12 aero corrections to front wing yaw & pitch sensivity
- Minor adjustments to default FFB (communicates rear end better from vehicle yaw rate developing on turn in and countersteer on rear tyres sliding)
- Improved FFB damping function: it´s now non-linear with very little effect in small /slow steering inputs, more on really fast & bigger inputs
- Reduced effects of tire flatspots on FFB
- Added parameter to callibrate AI traction off the line on a wet surface vs player
- Added parameter to control how far ahead AI cars factor lapped cars ahead per type of car
- Adjusted AI performance on wet (both on slicks and wet tires), correcting some generally large discrepancies in each case
- General AI performance callibration pass for all cars
- Further adjustments to AI throttle application for various cars
- Further adjustments to AI aggression scalars per car
- Further reduced AI lateral jerkiness/weaving/abruptness
- General AI callibration for various cars
- Bumped AI aggression scalars, reduced AI extra awareness with human scalars to better exploit latest AI code developments & better raceability
AUDIO
- Sprint Race: Improved off-throttle pops, further polished engine sound loops
- Caterham Academy: Improved off-throttle pops, further polished engine sound loops
TRACKS
- Spa: Minor art pass
- VIR: Rebuilt collision walls to latest tandards; fixed disappearing pit guy for north pitlane layouts
