The Speedland Kart circuit is situated in Tatuapé São Paulo, Brazil. The venue features a selection of indoor and outdoor configurations and contains a 300m straight and an 80m long tunnel. The complex also houses a slot car track, racing simulator rigs, an RC track, and a Formula 1 car replica.

Changelog v0.9.8:

Content:

• Added Speedland Kart track venue (4 layouts)

Features & Fixes:

• Enhanced pneumatic trail by adding new PneumaticTrailGripFractPower (PTGFP) function, for much improved self-aligning torque (should make tire forces more perceivable through FFB)
• Tweaked FFB output code & added “FFB Low Force Boost” to Controller UI (this should help wheel “lightness” under low steering forces with lower end FFB controllers)
• Added new low-speed FFB function to eliminate vibration / oscillation at very slow speeds
• Revised default Realfeel settings and pneumatic trail values to match to new FFB functions
• Added AIWs to Time Trial anti-cheat verification (this will lead to failed authentication in case of AIW edits)
• Added function to sort cars of different performances within the same series for the TT leaderboards
• Tweaked road dust smoke & skid properties
• Brasilia: Tweaked track limits to allow running over green concrete run-off
• VIR: Improved road & curb textures
• Superkart: Adjusted tires, slight increase of front/rear track width
• Karts: Adjusted tires
• Montana: Adjusted mirror height; Fixed oversized interior Windshield resolution (from 2048px to 1024px)
• Boxer: Added wiper to cockpit view; Corrected AI tire wear
• Lancer Cup: Fixed pneumatic trail bug which numbed FFB output

If you have a multiplayer race tonight, you may want to check with the league admin whether you´ll be racing with the old version or this latest v0.9.8. The previous v0.9.67 is still available as a Beta branch on Steam (by right-clicking Automobilista on Steam -> Properties -> “BETA” tab, and selecting v0.9.67 from the drop-down box).

As per the changelog, V0.9.8 features some substantial Force Feedback updates – read about these in the AMS FFB topic.
