The first Automobilista 2 update of 2022 is now live! V1.3.3.0 adds the F-USA Gen3 with the Reynard 2Ki & Lola B2K/00 & Road America to the Racin´ USA Pt2 DLC, the new F-Retro Gen3 class featuring the Mclaren MP4/1C, the GTS variants of the Polo & Virtus to the TSI Cup class along with several other improvements, the most notable of which developments to the cockpit camera physics & related options. Below some important notes regarding the updates to the cockpit camera physics: Before V1.3.3.0, the camera g-force effect was only enabled longitudinally (braking and acceleration), with no lateral g-force effect (from corners) or vertically (from bumps & suspension movement) even at 100% g-force setting; we have now added settings for lateral & vertical g-force effects like in AMS1. Before V1.3.3.0, g-forces, leaning effect, and look to apex effects would only work in helmet camera mode - now these effects apply irrespective if you´re running helmet camera mode or not. As of V1.3.3.0, TrackIR users are able to change the camera g-force. Before V1.3.3.0, VR and trackIR users were forced to use the SMS legacy camera head movement mode. Now, VR and TrackIR users can enable our camera head movement mode in the camera settings screen if desired. It allows for example for the driving to align with the horizon in banked corners like Daytona's without having to resort to camera orientation. Note however that for existing profiles your previous VR settings are preserved, so nothing will change for you unless you decide to change it in camera settings screen. Below are the updated default camera settings - these however will only take effect if you create a new profile, if you do not want to create a new profile you can adjust these manually: V1.3.2.0 -> 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 Added VW Polo GTS & Virtus GTS to TSI Cup class 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.

A new release candidate build of Automobilista 2 is now available as a Steam beta branch for those interested in testing the new update before its official release in the coming days. From this build onwards, AMS2 users have the two following beta branches available: ReleaseCandidate: This is the latest release candidate, currently V1.3.5.0 build 1980. To access this build, right-click Automobilista 2 on your Steam Library, go into Properties -> Beta tab, and select the “ReleaseCandidate” branch for the dropdown menu. This branch will be disabled after the official public release and return you to the default AMS2 branch, if you then want to opt in for the beta in a next update you just need to repeat this process. PreviousBuild: This option allows users to revert back to the previous release version in case they encounter any issues with a new update, or want to compare changes if they are interested in doing so. To access it, right-click Automobilista 2 on your Steam Library, go into Properties -> Beta tab, and select “PreviousBuild” branch from the dropdown menu. To revert to the current build, just repeat the process and select “None” from the dropdown menu. IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR NEW ERS MODEL The creation of the new Formula Ultimate Gen2 had led to a complete overhaul of the ERS model (short for Energy Recovery System). The ERS consists of an electric motor connected to the drivetrain (MGU-K) that is also able to recover kinetic energy, an electric motor connected to the turbine shaft (MGU-H) that limits turbo lag and recovers energy from excess turbo RPM, and an energy store (ES) which is designed to hold 4MJ of charge. ERS deployment has some restrictions - first there may not be more than 4MJ of energy transferred from energy storage (the energy bar) to the electric motor (MGU-K) per lap. This is offset by any energy harvested from the turbo (MGU-H) when deploying, because that energy is used directly and doesn't count against the 4MJ limit. As a rule of thumb on tracks with long straights such as Monza approximately 40% of energy deployed comes from the MGU-H and as a result the total amount of energy deployed is well over 4MJ. Finally, because the MGU-K isn't allowed to put down more than 120kW of power at any given moment, the 4MJ of per lap allowance lasts for 33 seconds with 100% deployment - or well over that with direct MGU-H energy added. If you ever wonder why some tracks eat energy like crazy and others don't seem to deplete the energy bar, it's because of these parameters and the fact that less time spent on full throttle and more time spent braking into corners - which is also an important source of energy - shifts the charge balance heavily. Interlagos is a good example of such a track. Even though you have a lot more energy in storage to release, there simply isn't enough straight track and time to spend deploying at 100%. Our revised system now works through driver selectable ERS deployment modes. These are: 1. Off - no deployment at all. Not used in race mode. 2. Build - recharge energy storage as quickly as possible while retaining some deployment as to not bog down in race situations. This automatically raises deployment to near balanced as state of charge (SoC) nears 100%. Not used in qualifying. 3. Balanced - monitors SoC at the end of each lap or when you switch to this mode. As a rule of thumb it aims to maintain 80% SoC. If it doesn’t hit this target, it self-adjusts deployment. This is most like the legacy model except it deploys at slower speeds and throughout the lap. 4. Attack - deployment suited to catch up to the car ahead in order to get within the DRS time difference and slipstream. Not designed to last for multiple laps without SoC dropping to 0% nor does it monitor itself. Not used in qualifying. 5. Qual - full deployment amount and little reduction through mapping with the only compromise being that it has to remain within the regulated per lap 4MJ energy release from storage (as in SoC) to the power unit. So there will be some per track mapping in the long run to optimise deployment so you won’t hit the limit on the final straight at some energy hungry tracks such as Monza. Not used in race mode. Our ERS deployment mapping system consists of a single RPM map (% at RPM) and a gear map (% in gear) for each mode. Each deployment mode has a base deployment amount. And as mentioned the build and balanced modes self-adjust the amount. This amount is mapped to a final deployment amount through the RPM and gear maps. The aim with deployment mapping is to maintain drivability, boost corner exits and optimise energy use. For example 8th gear is SoC neutral in balanced mode meaning it adds the same amount of charge through MGU-H harvesting as it uses, if not slightly more in some cases. Meanwhile 4th through 7th deploy most to get up to speed quickly.
