AMS 2 | Reiza veröffentlichte heute das angekündigte "Winterupdate" v1.6.9

Automobilista 2 V1.6.9.0 ist jetzt verfügbar! Das letzte Update des Jahres erweitert AMS2 um US-Stock-Car-Rennen, wobei drei Generationen als Bonusinhalt für das Racin´ USA Expansion Pack sowie eine neue Ovalstrecke – der Pocono Raceway – hinzugefügt wurden!

Das Update fügt außerdem das Touristenlayout der Nordschleife sowie ein neues Paket mit fantastischen Supersportwagen hinzu.

Ganz im Sinne der Jahreszeit bleiben alle neuen Inhalte dieses Updates für alle Nutzer bis Anfang 2026 kostenlos, damit sie sie über die Feiertage ausprobieren und genießen können.

Benutzer, die aus irgendeinem Grund Probleme mit der neuen Version 1.6.9.0 haben oder kurz vor einem Ligarennen stehen, können weiterhin die vorherige Version 1.6.8.6 verwenden, indem sie mit der rechten Maustaste auf AMS2 in der Steam-Bibliothek -> Eigenschaften -> Beta klicken und den Zweig „previousbuild“ auswählen.

Hier sind kurz die wichtigsten Neuerungen gelistet

UI- UND HUD-AKTUALISIERUNGEN

V1.6.9 enthält einige kleinere kosmetische Aktualisierungen der Benutzeroberfläche, wobei Titeltexte nun großgeschrieben werden und das Design der Bedienfelder nun eckige Kanten aufweist.

Mit diesem Update haben wir auch begonnen, ein neues HUD-Design einzuführen, allerdings sind die Arbeiten daran noch nicht abgeschlossen. Benutzer können sich jedoch einen Eindruck vom Fortschritt verschaffen, indem sie über die Anzeigeoptionen zur WIP-Version des neuen HUD wechseln.

PHYSIK-UPDATES

V1.6.9 liefert eine weitere Runde von Physik-Updates, die sich in erster Linie auf Reifen konzentrieren und weitere Anpassungen der verschiedenen Reibungskoeffizienten, Elastizität, Hysterese und thermodynamischen Parameter für die meisten Slick-, Semi-Slick- und Allwetterreifen in AMS2 umfassen, um die Qualität der Simulation erneut deutlich zu verbessern.

FREIER KAMERAMODUS

Benutzer können nun sowohl im Live-Spiel als auch auf dem Monitorbildschirm mit den folgenden Befehlen die freie Kamera aktivieren:

STRG+F zum Aktivieren/Deaktivieren der freien Kamera
Tasten „W A S D“: Bewegung
Ziffernblock „-“: Verringerung des Sichtfelds
Ziffernblock „+“: Vergrößerung des Sichtfelds
Ziffernblock-Pfeiltasten „2,4,6,8“: Ausrichtung
Ziffernblock „5“: Ausrichtung zurücksetzen

TAA-ENTWICKLUNG

Seit dem letzten Update wurde eine gute Optimierung für Temporal Antialiasing erreicht; Benutzer haben nun auch die Möglichkeit, es mit Super Sampling AA zu kombinieren, um optimale Ergebnisse zu erzielen.

UMBENENNUNG DER FORMELKLASSEN

Die Klassen F-Reiza und F-Ultimate Gen1 & Gen2 wurden nun gemäß der folgenden Grafik in F-V8 Gen3, F-Hybrid Gen2 und F-Hybrid Gen3 umbenannt.
