Better known today as the developer of Skyrim and Fallout, Bethesda once had a well-respected racing game franchise and were deep into development of a licensed Skip Barber Racing title that never released.
Video game development is rarely about one man, but if it was, then Terence Groening should certainly get a mention for his contributions to the genre as the man responsible for the physics of Sportscar GT, EA’s PC F1 and NASCAR games of the early 2000’s, rFactor, rFactor 2 and every title and rFpro simulator that spawned from ISI’s engine.
This interview with RSC details his early life and career, through to him joining iRacing in 2021.
Reiza have released an opt-in beta build as a release candidate of Automobilista 2 for users who want to test the upcoming physics changes. See the betas tab in Steam properties then select the “ReleaseCandidate” branch.
Their text:
V1.4.8 includes extensive physics revisions to an initial batch of car classes, revisions which are expected to be completed for all cars in the game by the update that follows this one 4-5 weeks from now (v1.5.0).
IMPORTANT: all revised cars MUST have the setup reset – users can do so either by resetting each model individually from their setup menu, or for all cars by deleting your local Documents\Automobilista 2\savegame\123456789\automobilista 2\vehiclesetups folder (please note however this would also delete your existing setups from currently unrevised cars that don´t require the reset yet).
The AI dry performance is supposed to be well calibrated to the player performance for all classes already revised – if you still notice any discrepancies please report the car / track combo along with eventual specific details. Wet weather is still not fully calibrated, with some classes still needing further adjustments both to player tire as well as wet calibration – this we expect to cover in time for official release.
CLASSES WITH COMPLETE V1.5 PHYSICS REVISIONS:
– Formula Retro Gen1 (all models)
– Formula Retro Gen2 (all models)
– Formula Retro Gen3 (all models)
– Formula Classic Gen1 (all models)
– Formula Classic Gen2 (all models)
– Formula Classic Gen3 (all models)
– Formula Classic Gen4 (all models)
