Another update v1.4 is here! This update adds more fun!

First up, the update looks to add even more new content to the base of the sim. Those new racing vehicles will include:

Mercedes AMG GT4
Ginetta G55 GT3
Ultima GTR
1965 Mini Cooper
Vulkan Truck

Secondly, the team touts that there will be a massive update to the overall physics of the game. Tires, engines, drivetrains, track surfaces and more have all been refined further, continuing the ongoing evolution of the sim.

Other included updates will come in the form of the Advanced Mechanical Damage Modeling, with both engine damage and tire damage joining with the clutch and gearbox damage already found in the AMDM system.

Further development with tires will include a system that sounds similar to iRacing, the inclusion of tire set limits, if that is desired to have implemented.

For the open wheel cars, or in Automobilista 2 terms, the F-style cars, there will also be an inclusion of low aero packages with visually appropriate aero modifications with that being utilized.

There will be driver-specific racing suit and helmet liveries implemented in the V1.4 update. The update will also include things like audio updates, AI updates and other quality of life improvements all around. I think I also read something about a time-trial leaderboard getting added as well.

We are doing hosted races. Hit me up if you want to join or simply look for an Operation Sports server and use PWD: 123

Oh how I wish they would port this to console....

All,
The latest v1.5 patch has really improved this sim! The cars are a ton more drivable which translates loads of fun.

We have been hosting nightly races on the server named Operation Sports ; pwd: 123 - We tend to hop on around 7pm PST for anyone interested.

Cheers!

It's nice to hear all of the favorable reactions this update is getting. I picked up Automobilista 2 back in January, but it always felt it fell a little short of what I wanted in the force feedback department. After hearing so many reports of how the FFB has improved with this update, I'm going to give it a try again.

I'm going to be giving this a try along with the new update. I'd like to find a multiplayer server that felt like a home and had some familiar names again. I found a couple of those in Forza 7 for a while, but they seemed to come and go. I'll give it a shot tonight. Thanks for the word on this! My Steam name is JohnRC.
