Live for Speed S2 Alpha (Version W): Dieser Download kann - je nach Lizenz - im Demo-, S1- oder S2-Modus gespielt werden. Required computer specifications: 1 GHz CPU, 128 MB memory, 3D graphics card The S2 download will function as a demo until unlocked. To unlock S2, you need an S1 or S2 license (info / shop), and your computer must be connected to the internet! Introducing... a new, fully compatible Patch W for S2! It's fully compatible which means it connects with old U30 and V versions, and can play the same replays. The multiplayer protocol and physics have not changed. The most important changes are : 1) The new car sounds, created by DaveWS who worked very well within the limits of the LFS sound system to create much nicer and more immersive car sounds than the ones we provided with version V. Thanks again for that, Dave! 2) Various graphical updates, including improvements to the level of detail system, improved 2D displays and mirrors, some useful changes to the car triangles on the small map, and some improvements to the efficiency of 2D and 3D drawing. All the changes are listed below. And a few words about our plans : The idea now is that everyone can use this new version with its better sounds and smoother graphics, while we get on with the multiplayer-incompatible patch which we hope to finish in just a few weeks (depending on what comes up in that time). That patch (probably known as Patch X) will allow more racers online (probably 24) and more spectators, and various other planned updates for it as well (but no physics changes). Physics updates will come some time after that, probably in version Y and will include updated car cockpits (most notably the GTR interiors) and a graphically improved version of South City. We can't give any more detailed time estimates for those patches because we don't know what will come up while we are working on them.
