Two updates have been launched for Automobilista 2 recently. Update v1.3.6.0 added new features, including a mandatory force feedback (FFB) fade-in on session start and filter functionality in the multiplayer browser. Update v1.3.6.1, on the other hand, is heavily focused on various improvements and bug fixes.
The new online lobby filter lets you specify the lobby type, the class of cars that can be used, and how long the event will last. Besides that, you can also have the multiplayer rating enabled, so you can only allow those who satisfy the rating threshold you’ve set to join your lobby.
If you’re using a third-party gamepad or steering wheel, you need to know this. The developers added a mandatory force feedback fade-in where the controller/wheel won’t vibrate for a short period of time after a certain event. In this case, the fade-in happens at session start, as well as when you’re going out of the pits after unpausing the game .
Update v1.3.6.1, as mentioned earlier, is focused on improvements. For example, the Corvette C3, Camaro SS, and F-Classic Gen3 cars have received some enhanced physics in revised engine heating/cooling and wear rates.
