EARLY ACCESS THIS WEKEND!!!! to all owners of SCE



Beta available to level 2 backers earlier this week, but its a very polished beta just lacking some tracks and cars not quite ready yet.
Anyone who owns Stock Car Extreme will gain access to early access from this weekend.

Heres an update about one of the new featured series the SuperTrucks from reiza`s physics genius Neils.

Its in my library but there's no way of installing it that I can see.

Not released this this evening I believe.

Renato Simoni (Reiza):

"Sorry guys but we might not be able to get this out today as we´d planned Took us a bit longer than expected to get the build uploaded and Valve has changed their approval processes so it´s unlikely they will get it greenlit before next week (they don´t approve during or allow releases on saturday or sunday).

We´re pushing hard to try still get it cleared but I´d like to prepare you for the fact we may not, in which case I offer you my apologies for getting this wrong."

Dcully

Been playing the hell out of this and wow just wow.
My new favourite racing sim and it cost me nothing because I own SCE (I did throw a few quid at the crowd funding however)
Physics and force feedback are fantastic.

I thought there would be more interest in this here

Available on steam with 20% off until march 7th !

Have to agree, it's bloody awesome. I've been hammering it all day today, stock cars are marvellous. Haven't even tried anything else yet! Superb.

Dcully

Ah it just gets better and better the more I play it.
I love Assetto Corsa but this has to be my favourite now.
Such a huge amount of content backed up by a superb physics engine.

I haven't heard any mention of it but you never know, we never thought we would see assetto corsa on console but its coming.

It would be great if a wider audience could enjoy it,it really is exceptional already.

Anyone playing this?

The graphics aren't so good as AC but in my opinion the simulation is more on point than AC. The sim community seems to have picked up on this also so no doubt it will grow.

Thread about it just below.

Quite possibly the best physics of any sim to date.
Ive been a backer since day one on the strength of Stock Car Extreme and Formula Trucks, Reizas other sims, only this weekend they upgraded me to the next tier of backer as a thankyou for support, these guys are up there with the best devs in terms of talent and respect for their community.

Been playing a lot of the Brit Pack beta ,superb quality once again, as an early backer I get all content free
All cars included are great fun but I really love the MCR sports 2000.

Brit Pack DLC released.

http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/automobilista-v1-1-and-brit-pack-released.127408/


I don't understand why more in our small community here have not tried this.
Quite simply the best Physics and force feedback of any sim out there,tonnes of content,a dev team with real passion which includes the physics God Niels Heusinkveld.

No surprise when the top pro simracing teams use this as their sim of choice nowadays.

Doge

Just realised my archaic system might be able to run it.

Im guessing assetto corsa has better graphics and detail in the cars and tracks?
Not that its that important,
Also the tracks are probably more accurate in Assetto due them heavily investing in laser scanning?

I guess people go to assetto because they want more authentic cars than stock cars.

You say the physics are much better but i wonder how actual real world supercars would compare between both sims in terms of physics?

Im really loving the attention to detail in assetto, i guess i need to dive into this and compare them.

My initial view is that they're both trying to do something different though.

Dcully

Not sure what you mean by stock cars?
It has everything from 67 F1 cars to modern GT and F1 cars and everything in between

Graphics are not as nice as AC ofcourse but imo AC relies on post processing effects too much, stuff looks more natural in AMS imo but for eye candy AC looks better for sure.

You really need to try AMS physics and FFB,it really is exceptional.
Im not saying they are much better than AC but they are better.
I love both sims,i bought into both at early access stage

AC ofcourse has laser scanned tracks but in real terms there is not much difference, I honestly think laser scanning tracks is overated having once being a big fan I don't see the point now when you look how good no laser scanned ones are,take F1 2016 to me its tracks are every bit as impressive as AC or iracing `s laser scanned tracks.
Reiza did however laser scan tracks for the Brit pack DLC.

Dcully

Playing the new DLC and wow!!! even better than the beta.


Game patched also,

Added DLC system for purchase & ownership verification
Added Radio Spotter feature
Improved vehicled shaders & applied to all older cars along with skin adjustments
Added left / right driver seat configuration option to Ultimas and Caterhams; Caterham 270 & 360R now also have option to remove roll cage
Adjusted rear wing efficiency on Montana, StockV8, Boxer Cup, Superkart, Ultima GTR
Adjusted tires on F-V12, Montana, StockV8, Boxer Cup, Ultima GTR
Adjusted AI Torque Stab in all cars to reduce their excessive stability when in contact with player car
Added Vehicle Configuration menu to Vehicle Showroom
DynHUD: Improved Delta widget functionality in Time Trial mode
Updated vehicle shaders
Added new batch of community drivers
F-Vee: Main LOD optimization for better performance / lower memory load
Metalmoro: Main LOD optimization for better performance / lower memory load
Boxer Cup: Adjusted mirror position
SuperV8: Added configuration option for cockpit type

AMS weak point if it has any is its graphics but the new shaders make a huge difference, looks superb now.

The price they sold these cack addons is a pure disgrace. Why people continue to fund this sub-standard sham company is beyond me.

They have racked up millions in debt in South America, bailed out by a farcical crowd funding exercise in Europe.

They have delayed releases of material for months to bridge their tax obligations, but the mask is slipping now big time. Worst of all, all those who contributed to their cash whoring crowd funding could be charged under SA law for fraudulent activities, though unlikely.

Karma for Reiza, a slap of reality for their cheerleaders, a tough 12 months ahead as the audit begins.

What the hell are you talking about?

I happily donated their crowd funding for a supreme product with a tonne of free content, this is their first ever paid DLC.
Their previous sims stock car extreme and formula trucks saw a string of free DLC.
Not sure where your getting your info but its funny as fcuk.


Ah a quick check of your name and i see now, your the one man crusade show that got his ass banned over on Race department, lol just lol.

When it comes to small independent companies making simulator software I think this model of releasing DLC so they can fund further development is a fair one. The alternatives are, the old way, buying a game and that's the end of it, no more development. the iRacing model of a monthly fee, or the DLC model which gives us desirable content and improvements to the overall game.

AMS got given out for free to a lot of people, it's obvious that they, like iRacing, rFactor and Assetto Corsa want to create a platform peice of software that people can depend on for years, knowing it won't go out of date. If you want the new content buy it, if you don't want the new content you still get your game updated for free. That's a great deal as far as I'm concerned.

Kickstarter has legal issues in many countries, hopefully they stayed on the right side of the law wherever they applied for the kickstarter campaign. If they didn't I'm assuming it's some sort of tax issue that's the problem.

But that's they're internal problem, I doubt it has any bearing on the quality of the game.

They didn't, and tax is the least of their problems. Brazil is not a country who will tolerate commercial begging from a company like Reiza. You may be aware of their shady practice of modding circuits through one individual with the initials PG, to circumvent paying for track licences....also under investigation.

I have nothing against kickstarter in principle. It allows a company to get the funds they need to bring a product to market and I'm fine with that as long as it's all above board. The fact that Kickstarter has worked for some companies and is completely legal in some countries shows that the issue is probably bureaucratic.

It's incredibly difficult to get the financials together to start a new business or even a new product. Kickstarter rather than going the traditional route of finding backers that are only interested in profit allows companies connect with the end customers who want the product. It cuts out that horrible profiteering that cripples other companies ability to put product above profit.

I've never contributed to a kickstarter, I don't think I ever would. But if others want to and understand the risks then I have no problem with it.

I don't know what the story is with licensed tracks. I can fully understand why they'd go down the route of making content that's just different enough to fall outside of licensing, some of the prices are ridiculous and out of the reach of less well funded groups. Kunos have put a lot of effort into licensing, it's one of their selling points. But it's not possible for everyone to do the same thing, especially when they're in competition with other developers.

The price for their game and DLC is higher than AC, but there's no law to say they have to price match their competitors, I don't think AMS has the same customer base either. That means they can't sell more for less.

For the price of the game I just wouldn't invest as much emotion as you seem to be investing. Don't like the game? Just don't play it. There's no need to go on a crusade of aggression with words like "sub standard sham company" and "commercial begging".

I agree for the most part.

But their crowd funding rankled with me, it was quite disgusting. They didn't need to do it, they wanted tax free money quickly. And it preyed on elements who are too immature to question these things. They paid up as a "fan boy".

It sickened me, well and truly. I've got young children, I don't want them subjected to this in the future. It was sly, it was disingenuous, greedy and immoral.

I can understand not liking the whole concept of kickstarter and crowdfunding. But it's not disingenuous, greedy or immoral, it's not really free money, they do enter into an agreement to compensate people for their investment.

I still think it's an improvement over shareholders who fund products and companies just to turn a profit. Maybe it's open to abuse, but that doesn't mean a company can just ignore a revenue stream. All that matters to a company is money. They can't even open the doors without having money, that's the unfortunate state of affairs these days.

Good riddance to that troll of trolls.

Regardless of his views the way he conducts himself is not acceptable.

The guy is banned from countless communities,seems to have a major issue with reiza that nobody understands.

First he complained about graphics over on RD and since then it spiralled into where ever his imagination rambles.

I watched on over on RD and never commented but he is not taking his garbage over here.



I'm now receiving threatening private messages, nice guy real nice.

Dcully

Id just like to add i was happy to donate the small sum of €10 purely based on the quality of their previous sims stock car extreme and formula truck which both saw a string of free DL plus any owner of either of these previous games got Automobilista completely free!!!!

It proved a wise decision as now we have one of the best sims available and i also get all future DLC and beta access free, great deal to me and delighted i donated.

I have never seen any negativity about this campaign on any of the many sim communities i visit.
It proved a huge success and the greater sim community as a whole have greeted it with open arms.

I've a Steam account set up. I might buy this for the sake of having it. Might hurry along my build.

thurlesdrunk

I think PC is definitely the way to go alright for sim racing. Also thinking of going that route, but what kind of cost for a build to run this and AC smoothly with high graphical settings that out perform the ps4? And something that won't be outdated in a year.

Dcully

Head over to the pc building forum, loads of builds there for €500-€600 that outperform consoles easily.

Finally got to play this for a few hours the last few nights with the new wheel. Did some Time Trials around Interlagos in one of those Porsche GT cars, pretty good fun. Then switched to a Formula V12 - jesus the brakes on that are awesome! Engine sounds are fantastic in it also. Anyone else playing it?

Dcully

Make sure you set your graphics up as suggested here

http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/sell-me-automobilista.126611/page-4#post-2320081


Also make sure you have your new wheel setup to the devs recommended settings,not sure what they are for your wheel but for my G27 there are few changes most notably degrees of rotation down to 260 degrees.
These settings totally transform ffb.

Also check out this thread.

http://forum.reizastudios.com/threads/automobilista-how-the-ffb-works-and-what-is-new-about-it.45/

Its an awesome sim with the best force feedback of them all,combined with the amazing physics you feel everything the car is doing which in a sim is pretty amazing, other sims come close but AMS has nailed it.
Loads of cars and tracks plus an infinite amount of modded content, look out for tracks from Patrick Giranthon in particular.

Finally grab the CART EXTREME mod too.

http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/cart-extreme.10810/

Simracers really are spoiled these days, between AMS and Assetto Corsa I have more than I have time for but if I had the time id certainly be taking a look at the big improvements the community seem to be raving about for rfactor2, add raceroom and iracing and you have limitless simracing

Dcully

€14.79 on steam sale guys, what a bargain.

season pass DLC is 56% off too @ €28.72

Base game comes with a tonne of content, more than any sim player would need but the DLC they are putting out is top class.

Dcully

I booted up the reiza V10 cars lastnight ,been meaning to do so as yer man Jimmy broadbent on youtube reckons its one of the very best sim cars out there.
I set up a race weekend in Melbourne with 100% AI, eventually qualified in 8th place and finished in 7th after en eventful race.
Came away 90 minutes later exhausted, what a hell of a workout.
I cant believe i never really gave this car a proper go before.
Ive been playing F12016 a bit lately for a more relaxed experience but WOW this is what its all about,easily the best F1 experience available,thoroughly exhausting and exhilarating

Formula truck released,downloading now.

The base game Formula truck along with reiza`s other work is the reason i bought into AMS early access.
