Automobilista Build 0.9.0r Released

[Paul Jeffrey]

Reiza Studios have released version 0.9.0r for Steam Early Access title Automobilista Motorsports Simulator.

With a nice selection of tweaks and changes included in the update perhaps most exciting of all is news from the studio that both the Boxer Cup and Virginia International Raceway are close to making their debut in the public version of the build.

Although not available in version 0.9.0r backers of Reizas' Crowdfunding campaign or members of the Reiza Membership package have access to a non public beta version of the title that runs alongside the Steam public beta game. With Friday's release of 0.9.0r (changelog below) made available for "standard" owners of the game those who have the private beta as part of the crowdfunding or membership package privilege can now access the new 'work-in-progress' content prior to finalisation and release on the public version of the title.

As Automobilista nears completion and exit from Early Access status the team over at Reiza Studios are hard at work bringing new content and game enhancements to finalise a game that is already arguably one of the best sim racing titles on the market currently.

Full changelog details for version 0.9.0r below:

• Added new alternative sky/cloud texture sets + function to randomly load different sets in each session.
• Tweaked tire scrub / skid sound logic to generally improve audio feedback.
• Adjusted tire volume slider to go up to 200%.
• Partially disabled advanced tranny code for sequential boxes while some remaining bugs are ironed out.
• Reprofiled dashboard displays for Supertrucks & karts.
• Repainted skins for the F-Reiza cars.
• Updated Mini & Camaro championship track calendar.
• F-V10: Added Soft tire compound and made it the default option.
• F-V12: Removed duplicated teams from v0.8.9.
• F3: Corrected fuel consumption.
• Supertruck: Removed redundant engine boost effects which were mistakenly left on.
• MIT Lancer: Removed launch control functionality which were mistakenly left on.

Personally I would prefer them to model the track as it is now but I think Reiza also said at the time that due to the way trees are currently modelled in AMS that it wouldn't look too good anyway.

Well that's probably a better argument to use against my enthusiasm.
