Since the initial release of the big LCV4.1 update into openbeta in November '20, we have been steadily polishing and fixing this milestone with a total of 17 patches. As such, we have just merged the last few patches with the default branch of the game. This means everyone is on the same version of the game again and if you wish, you can opt-out of the openbeta branch at no additional download.
Lots of effort and skill giving fantastic looking interiors, here shown by Billy Joe Red.
At this point we're ready to move on to the next big update that has been looming on the horizon for long: the much anticipated Turbo Revamp.
This update not only will include a much needed redesign and expansion of the turbo systems and their calculations, but also very deep going game-mechanics improvements in the engine and car designers, with their effects running deep and affecting campaign play, too.
In this video we're taking a look at what the next big milestone update of Automation will contain. There is a bit for everyone in this one guaranteed, have a look for yourself.

Delving into the development of LCV4.2 means we're once again embarking on a longer dev cycle during which there will be no patches to the game unless absolutely necessary. The development of each such new milestone is a big task, as you could see from the long wishlist of features for this version shown in the video. We're aiming to have the first openbeta version be available in around 4 months time.
However, that doesn't mean we'll be silent until then. Little Dev Updates will keep you up to speed with where we're at and how the new features and changes are being implemented.

Exciting changes lie ahead with LCV4.2, looking forward to it!
