AMS2 V1.5.5.4 is Now Live

Automobilista 2

Automobilista 2 once again puts you in the driving seat of an advanced and diverse racing simulator - now with incredible graphical quality, high-profile cars and tracks, advanced dynamic track condition system and VR support.

Celebrating the end of another exciting Daytona 24h, the new update brings a new batch of AI improvements, the most critical being a more thorough solution to AI cars casually stepping out of track into grass / high curbs when looking around the car ahead, as well as several adjustments to improve their ability to handle lapped traffic. Some further tire tread adjustments of the same nature from that of the previous version has now also been applied to other classes, while F-USA Gen1-3 cars got an external sound update using the same methodology of recent external sound sets.
