Live for Speed S2 ALPHA

Published by Newsfactory 0

Independent developed online racing simulator Live for Speed! has a new Demo out S2 ALPHA!

LFS S1 (and S2) is a serious racing simulator. No arcade modes, no steering aids - YOU have to do the driving. It is therefore highly recommended to play the sim with a wheel, because even though you can use keyboard and/or mouse, a wheel is what you use in a real car, so a wheel should be used in a serious racing simulator. Especially when going online, where fast reactions are required.
