Automobilista 2 recently received a new update that featured bug fixes to wrap up last week’s release. The revised F-3 Physics, introduced in the previous update, had some flaws that required tuning. Via Update V1.4, developers rectified these flaws.
AI Behavior
In this update, developers also made some small adjustments to AI racing behavior. These changes include:
- The range at which an AI car will defend from the car behind is reduced.
- Increased the range required for AIs when they are behind the car.
- Additional changes so AI doesn’t play too aggressively against players.
