[PC] Automobilista

[PTG Claret]

This has come out on early release today on Stream with 20% off.

If their previous title is anything to go by, the physics on this will be fantastic. I've been massively impressed with SCE so far, so can't wait to get home add download this:

"AUTOMOBILISTA puts you in the driving seat of one of the most advanced racing simulators and delivers 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 the 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 you will find 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 EvoX 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 historical and modern content featuring a sample of several decades of GP 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!"

So I made a start on this tonight.

I did a full race weekend in the F1 cars. It took me some time to figure the track out, as it's some brazilian track I'd never heard of, but was really good fun. What struck me most was how much the track changed over time. It really pays to hold the racing line as that's where the grip is. Whilst it's not massively slower off it, you do notice the lack of grip in the corners especially.

Another thing I found is it can be quite hard to follow a car very closely. Much like real life, having to car in front messes with the air and causes serious understeer. This made you really have to think hard about passing strategies.

Really looking forward to trying more cars

What's the damage for this claret??

[PTG Claret]

I paid £24 on early release. I'll not tell anyone to rush out and buy it - it does have some bugs which can annoy - but it's gravy so far.

About to release oulton park, brands hatch and Cadwell park, and Ultimately GTR, MAR Sports and Caterham.

I've been checking out the mods and the mod support is pretty wicked.

[Mesasphere]

Going to add it to my wish list, Steam sale starts on 23rd of june so it might get a price drop.

[PTG Ducky]

I thought it was just me lol.

Signed up to a membership pack yesterday. I'm aware they plan on putting out quite a bit of DLC, and expect it to be priced similarly to R3E, so I think it will be worth it.

For $25 (around £17) you get:

- A Steam key delivered by email to activate AMS Beta Version (for advanced internal testing of new content & developments) + all eventual AMS DLC packages

- Access to Reiza 51 Beta & Development forum (applied to your forum account on payment completion)

I have yet to try the beta game.

Ok, I'm going to pick this up. What should I try first?

[PTG Claret]

The v10 formula cars are absolutely great to drive. I'm sure your smile driving them.

So are the Aussie v8s. And the touring cars. And the lancers...... lol

Early Review-

Okay, if you haven't even touched a Sim for a couple months, and you just boxed up and moved your gear in the back of moving truck, and you cringe every time you hit a bump over the course of a 12 hour drive and it's also 115 degrees outside and probably hotter inside the back of the moving truck and you finally get your gear hooked back up and install 2 months of updates and drivers and you cross your fingers that everything is working ok.......Automobilista is probably not a good Sim to try for your first time.

Unless you read this post, and I'll share a secret with you. An hour or so of re-cabling and driver reinstalls and google searches and just generally WTF can all be avoided if you know ahead of time that the speed limiter is ON by default LOL

It's pretty much utterly amazing after that.

[PTG Claret]

It took me longer to figure out the FFB was set to MINUS 100%, which made for very weird driving indeed.

[PTG Ty1er Ward]

Negative values lol. The TX actually released with native negative. The late 2014 or early 2015 firmware changed it to positive (can't remember which one. It's when they licensed Immersion's haptic technology). It's based on 0 to +10,000 (or 0 to -10,000). I've never found exactly why or where that comes from, but it seems like everything is moving towards + as standard. My guess is that companies who originated from joystick type control (inverting the X and Y axis) just stuck with the same code as they branched into wheels. If the game and the wheel are opposite then the signal is backwards (feels like your driving on top of a big sewer pipe lol).

The FFB is INSANELY GOOD. Just WOW WOW WOW. Literally the V10 Formula could be the only car in the game and it's still worth every penny you've paid lol. Wow

If you buy thr Full package fron Rieza website you then get the beta version as well as the EA version. That adds lifetime free DLCs for future
