Automobilista 2 Update V1.0.2.7 Released

Reiza Studios have finished off August with a long list of tweaks and improvements now available with Automobilista 2 Update V1.0.2.7 released.

The range of changes cover everything from adding broadcast control and spectator screens to multiplayer to updating the trackside adverts at Guapore and introducing exhaust downshift backfires for the Stock Car 2020.

Lots of cars have had slight driving and handling changes, with aero balances moves for the Montana, Scotck Car 2019 and 2020, and an increased operating window for the tyres on the GT, Prototype and Stok Car series. The V12 engine performance has been corrected, there are small adjustments to the centre of gravity and aero for the F-Retros, a bit of Balance of Performance work on the P3 class, nine cars get adjusted rolling resistance, and more.

Automobilista 2 Update V1.0.2.7 Change Notes:

For cars with relevant default setup changes, you’ll need to reset your car to default in case modificiations were made to the prvious default settings, – to reset all setups (autosaved or not) you may opt to delete the contents of Documents\Automobilista 2\savegame\123456789\automobilista 2\tuningsetups folder (noting the bold number folder will vary from system to system). You don’t need to delete your entire user profile folder
