I'm surprised theres nothing about this here.

From Reiza studios, the guys responsible for Stock Car Extreme, after a hugely successful crowdfunding campaign Automobilista is released on early access.

Free to owners of SCE.

I cannot recommend this enough, as a simracer of 20+ years this is up there with the likes of Assetto Corsa and iracing in terms of physics if not better but has easily the best force feedback of any sim with a tonne of content.

I must be doing something wrong as this is pretty awful, for some bizarre reason it wants to keep the resolution at 800x600, I change it to 1920x1080-32 and it saves OK, start the game and it still looks proper Mickey Mouse, quit, check the configurator and hey-ho it's changed itself back to 800x600-32.

The FFB is hilariously bad so far for me, it's like it's back to front no matter if you do it +100 or -100 but I don't think it's even saving any configurations anyway as it keeps resetting to a game-pad default and nothing 'confirms' anything is changing or has changed, there's also 4 or 5 different 'Thurstmaster' - Yes, I kid you not, they have called Thrustmaster - Thurstmaster, it did make me giggle a bit when I saw it, configurations in the game, none of which seem to work, and to top it off the wheel randomly goes berserk and then doesn't work in the middle of a race.

The UI is bad, very, very bad, even back in the late '90s where it looks like it's come from it would be bad. Half the stuff you can change in the Garage doesn't change even though it has the < and > to say you can...although some of it doesn't have the < and > any way for some reason.

The graphics are mediocre to put it kindly. But I've not been able to see what it's like at anything other than 800x600 so far...

I did like what little I got to play of the Super Trucks, seemed very nice even with the FUBAR FFB which seemed to add to the mayhem a bit, the Lancer Rally Cross was also looking promising but again I had zero FFB.

Yeah it's Early Access but let's face it what Game is released nowadays that isn't 'Early Access', we're paying to Test so I really don't buy into that excuse.

No way is this worth £23.99 as it is, Raceroom Racing Experience knocks this out of the park and it's FREE.


RRE doesn't come anywhere near this in terms of physics or FFB, don't be kidding yourself.
Also RRE i not free if you want to have any content worth mentioning.

The issues you are having are all your end I'm afraid, nothing wrong with the ui either its perfectly fine.
 
No problems setting up AA in control panel for me,it takes like 5 seconds so hardly worth mentioning as being amateur.

Customizing the hud isn't necessary and not something expected in a sim either, I'm just grateful I can customize it if I deem fit.
The sim is still in early access and things are still changing.


@ MikeTheNative Go with the normal version ie early access, you must have had beta access as a backer.


Another quick vid while I'm at it, not mine, taken from racetube over on RD.

They had it on offer for a week at reduced cost, guess you were just too late unfortunately.

Trust me its a hell of a bargain for that price.
Ive updated the car and track list in my OP above.
