Zoom Nachdem Reiza Studios seine Pläne für Automobilista 2 in 2022 vor einer Weile vorgestellt hat, geht es nun in die Umsetzung. Anfang dieser Woche wurde das erste Update für die PC-Rennsimulation in diesem Jahr veröffnetlicht, gefolgt von einem Patch und Hotfix.Mit der V1.3.3.0 für Automobilista 2 sind nun auch die Formel USA Gen3-Boliden (Reynard 2Ki und Lola B2K/00) sowie die Strecke Road America aus der Racing USA Pt2-Erweiterung fahrbar. Hinzu kommen die neue F-Retro Gen3-Klasse mit dem McLaren MP4/1C sowie die GTS- Varianten des Polo und Virtus in der TSI Cup-Klasse.
Zoom Das Änderungsprotokoll, welches etwas weiter unten eingesehen werden kann, enthält aber noch eine ganze Menge mehr an Einträgen. Zum Beispiel wurden viele allgemeine Verbesserungen umgesetzt. Im Bereich Physik gibt es nicht nur neue Standard-Setups für eine ganze Reihe an Fahrzeugen sondern es wurde auch an vielen Details gefeilt die sich auf das Fahrverhalten auswirken. Dazu kommen weitere Optimierungen der KI und Überarbeitungen bei den Strecken und Autos. Außerdem wurde die Cockpitkameraphysik und die damit verbundenen Optionen grundlegend überholt. Dazu hat das Entwicklerteam ein paar genauer auf die Änderungen eingehende Hinweise veröffentlicht.
Details zu den Änderungen bei der Cockpitkamera
Vor V1.3.3.0 war der G-Force-Effekt der Kamera nur in Längsrichtung aktiviert (Bremsen und Beschleunigung), ohne seitlichen G-Force-Effekt (in Kurven) oder vertikalen G-Force-Effekt (durch Bodenwellen und Aufhängungsbewegungen), selbst bei einer G-Force-Einstellung von 100 Prozent. Jetzt sind Einstellungen für seitliche und vertikale G-Force-Effekte wie in AMS1 vorhanden.
Vor V1.3.3.0 funktionierten die G-Kräfte, der Schräglageneffekt und der Blick zum Scheitelpunkt nur im Helmkameramodus - jetzt gelten diese Effekte unabhängig davon, ob der Helmkameramodus verwendet wird oder nicht.
Ab V1.3.3.0 können TrackIR-Benutzer die G-Kräfte der Kamera ändern.
Vor V1.3.3.0 waren VR- und TrackIR-Benutzer gezwungen, den alten SMS-Kamerakopfbewegungsmodus zu verwenden. Jetzt können VR- und TrackIR-Benutzer den Kamerakopfbewegungsmodus von Reiza Studios in den Kameraeinstellungen aktivieren, falls gewünscht. Dies ermöglicht es zum Beispiel, sich in Kurven wie in Daytona am Horizont auszurichten, ohne auf die Kameraausrichtung zurückgreifen zu müssen. Zu beachten ist, dass bei bestehenden Profilen die vorherigen VR-Einstellungen beibehalten werden, so dass sich nichts automatisch ändert, es sei denn, man entscheidet sich selbst dies im Kamera-Einstellungsbildschirm zu tun.

Automobilista 2 - V1.3.3.0-Changelog:
CONTENT
Tracks
-Added Road America (part of the Racin´ USA Pt2 DLC pack)
Vehicles
-Added F-USA Gen3 class featuring Reynard 2Ki, Lola B2K/00 (part of the Racin´ USA Pt2 DLC pack)
-Added F-Retro Gen3 class featuring Mclaren MP4-1C, F-Retro Gen3 Turbo, F-Retro Gen3 DFY Aspirated

GENERAL
-Enabled G-forces for cockpit camera (previously G-forces were only enabled for helmet camera)
-Made the helmet and cockpit cameras orientation change that comes from G-force effect be scaled by the G-force slider settings (previously only the camera -position change was scaled, not the orientation)
-Fixed in-game session details not accounting for session scaling in championship mode and rounding to multiples of 5 in multiplayer.
-VR Camera Settings: Enabled legacy/new head movement toggle for VR users; World Movement renamed to 'Head Movement' (current user World Movement setting will be maintained and converted to an equivilent 'Head Movement' setting)
-Enabled camera G-force settings for TrackIR users.
-Enabled look to apex and leaning in cockpit camera
-Shared Memory: Updated header to V10; Added Tyre temp L/M/R, Ride height, Session duration which were previously only available via UDP; Added DRS State; Added session additional laps information; Extended CarFlags to include TCS/SCS active state; Latest header/changelogs/sample project now available in the 'Support' directory of the game install
-Fixed an issue with championship editor which would lead to incorrect race 2 starting order if both races did not use the same duration type. Added a fall back to find any race 1 result as the basis for race 2 in existing savegames
-Default weather progression for official championships are now sync to race
-Fixed an issue where default weather progression for official championships was extremely high (existing saves will revert to sync-to-race on load if out of range)
-Made brake pedal sensitivity linear by default for most Thrustmaster wheel types.
-Fixed issue where HUD leaderboard would cut off the local player row in some cases
-Fixed stale drive button state requiring double click of race ready button if a user drove a previous session of a Multiplayer event.
