AUTOMOBILISTA Motorsports Simulator is coming to Steam on Q1 2016

[Renato Simioni]

Successor of Stock Car Extreme, new racing simulator by Reiza Studios will be free to all current owners of SCE

AUTOMOBILISTA puts you in the driving seat of an advanced racing simulator to deliver a uniquely diverse motorsports experience!

As the natural successor to Reiza Studios´ previous title - the highly regarded Stock Car Extreme, originally released in 2013 - AUTOMOBILISTA continues to simulate premium Brazilian racing series such as Stock Car V8, Copa Petrobras de Marcas, Formula 3 Brasil and Mitsubishi Lancer Cup, now packing every car and every track from their respective 2015 championships.

Beyond the brazilian core, AUTOMOBILISTA is extensively complemented with one of the most diverse selections or racing vehicles to be found in a racing game: only in AUTOMOBILISTA will you be able to jump from a rental kart to a 800-HP F1 car; from drifting a Rallycross Evo X to jumping ramps in a Supertruck; from mastering the driving basics in a Formula Vee to managing a full 24h race in an endurance prototype; back and forth through time with historical and modern content including a sample from several decades of Grand Prix racing - all of this and much more within a few mouse clicks. Thoroughly researched and cohesively developed for maximum simulation accuracy, AUTOMOBILISTA captures the fun only motorsports in its various forms can provide.

In addition to the content already present in Stock Car Extreme - all of which comprehensively upgraded - AUTOMOBILISTA turns it up to a new level by adding all the new cars & tracks proposed in the SimRacing Bonanza crowdfunding campaign, new simulation features such as dynamic track conditions, advanced transmission and tire modelling, substantial upgrades to physics, graphics & audio, new game modes and much more!

SPECIAL OFFER - AUTOMOBILISTA free to everyone who owns Stock Car Extreme on Steam by January 5th!

AUTOMOBILISTA is an evolution of the project presented by Reiza´s successful crowdfunding campaign in July 2015. Originally proposed as an extensive free update to Stock Car Extreme, AMS has grown further to become a completely independent release from SCE - it will however remain free to everyone who bought Stock Car Extreme up until January 5th 2016.

Therefore if you already own SCE on Steam, AUTOMOBILISTA will become immediately available to you upon release!

SCE owners who have not yet activated their copy of Stock Car Extreme on Steam should do so before January 5th 2016 by retrieving their Stock Car Extreme Steam key here, and activating it on Steam. It is not necessary to install SCE on Steam - just have it activated there to ensure your free copy of AMS. This will have no effect on your SCE installation outside Steam, where serial numbers will remain functional (owners who had previously made the switch also have had their NonSteam Serial Numbers reactivated).

Upon launch, AUTOMOBILISTA will sell for US$ 39.99 so for those who don´t yet own Stock Car Extreme, this is a special opportunity to get both SCE now and simultaneously ensure a free copy of AUTOMOBILISTA - all for the current price of Stock Car Extreme (currently selling for the special Steam holiday price of US$ 22.49 / R$ 89.99). This special offer is available only until 5th January 2016, as from January 6th 2016 onwards buying Stock Car Extreme will no longer warrant a free copy of AUTOMOBILISTA.

AUTOMOBILISTA - Motorsports Simulator will be released exclusively on the Steam platform during Q1 2016.

A few in-game screenies:

Okay, ya, it really tends to crash often on Alt+Tab

 

[Marcel Kleene]

I use borderless windowed as well...need that for SimXperience AF in Game adjustments. And it works perfect with Alt-Tab, which I need a lot to start broadcasting for example.

 

[Will Mazeo]

Will the dynamic track be as "hardcore" as rF2 when it is on green track? At least to me it's pretty hard to drive under those conditions, not exactly a bad thing tho

 

[Dann Murillo]

Always wondered if anybody except streamers really need borderless window mode

Yeah I am not so much a "steamer" as I am a sim racer since the old Papyrus ICR2 days.

I did find something pretty cool tonight (from 2011 LOL): forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2675769
This app lets you run (almost) any game in "windowed borderless" mode. And it works for SCE. To me this is SUPER useful as the RF1/SCE gmotor tend to crash a lot when you alt-tab...and as a league admin I alt-tab a LOT. The website link doesn't work anymore but I found the app and re-uploaded it here: mega.nz/#!8MUCEKrT!BH_dDsCXs1864ZCgb0IhzCOT16Z0u6iCYYbmrDL3LXM

 

[Lars Hansen]

I always run border-less, no which sim.
Very useful for all sorts of things, like e.g. getting your TS window to be always-on-top so you can see who's actually talking.
Not to mention when you're working on set-ups, it's useful to be able to switch between sim and motec after each stint.

Ah well, i have a 2 screen setup, so TS and other windows end up on the second monitor

Yes well, I have four screens.
Problem is than when I'm racing on three of them, I can't see the fourth.
One of the problems with not having a dedicated sim-rig.
Trip-screen is nice for sims, but I need to have single screen away from my steering-wheel for when I'm doing other stuff.

(And here endeth the thread-hijack )

 

[Will Mazeo]

Would be possible to have the reconnect feature (during a online race) in AMS? Probably a lot of work to get it done but jut asking anyway

 

[Manuel Garutti]

i tried to activate my stock car extreme steamkey here i have entered my email adress ,a message sais i will receive my key in few minutes....an hour and a half has gone but i rteceived nothing...is it normal or should i contact support@reizastudios.com?

 

[Lars Hansen]

At the risk of stating the obvious, did you check your spam-folder?

[AndrewBo]

I will buy this game to start my Online-racing again after soooooooooo many years..........

Been quiet lately with regards to Automobilista, some fresh teasers would help

 

[Paul Bennett]

Soon

Look on the bright side, it probably means they're too busy getting the beta ready for release in a couple weeks.

 

[s2173]

So release in June then? Or August?

 

[Dann Murillo]

No, Automobilista it should be out soon "Q1 2016" (not soon enough!!)
http://game-automobilista.com/

You may be referring to Reiza's next project which says "Initial release planned for Q4 2016"

Yeah its gone very quiet in the past week or so. Hopefully this is the calm before the storm!

Looking forward to this as there’s certainly some obvious and good improvements and more hinted at too. The bit I’ve not seen mentioned though (apologies if I missed it) is AI drivers and what we can expect from them. For instance will two drafting cars still follow each other down a straight and not pull out and leave the race line even if the car behind is capable of higher speeds as they do now in GSCE

You don't have to read back too far to find the answer to that. Short answer, no. Long answer, there will be some improvements to several areas of the AI.

I really hope that "several Areas" include the way the AI exit the pits... at the moment it's like... BANZAIII

 

[xnorb]

GSCE AI is simulating real simracers just fine
