A small update dropped on Friday from Reiza Studios for Automobilista 2. Citing a job well done in the area of hunting bugs, V1.2.1.0 does just that, squashing some minor physics issues in some vehicles such as the GT3 cars, a handful of Mclarens as well as other vehicles that are in the sim.
The biggest takeaway from the latest changelog is the seasonal updates to the Silverstone Circuit. A little TLC went into the English circuit since the last version as well in both the visual and physics department, as the AI now have increased grip on the 2020 layout,
Overall, not too much besides some needed fixes in this update. It’s always good to see these companies continue to improve their product, so well done by Reiza Studios. This patch shouldn’t take too long either, it’s only listed at 862.65 MB.
I really need to set a calendar reminder though, because once again, another Friday comes with another AMS2 update. It’s like clockwork! Check out the full changelog below.
