So I just got LFS and bought an S2 license, looking for pointers

[Delirious]

I love all the detail, feels like gran turismo

Anyway, got any pointers/suggestions for a newbie like me for this game?

 

[zoxxy]

Yeah, you don't play it like Gran Turismo. You drive it.

 

[Delirious]

Care to elaborate a bit please?

A) Make sure you have a steering wheel otherwise your gonna have trouble learning.

B) Practice offline first of all, I know it's tempting to just blast on Multiplayer, but if you take people out, you'll soon be banned from servers and a bad reputation.

C) The LFS forum is a good place to go to get even more tips, theres even a sub-forum dedicated to beginners.

D) Most of all, enjoy the experience!

Welcome to live for speed make sure the wheel is set up properly. after you get used to the cars, check out the CTRA servers for some great racing action. if you're into drifting, check out www.lfs-torque.net

Make sure to download the high resolution reflections, textures, and skies as well.

What if I don't have a wheel...can I learn via keyboard?

 

[Gabkicks]

sure you can, but the game is alot more fun with a wheel. i reccomend using mouse to steer rather than he keyboard. check out lfs forums to see tips on how to set up the game properly for mouse or keyboard.

Use the Shift-a function, make your car sound like it should

 

[Delirious]

im sorry...whats the shift-a function?

 

[Gabkicks]

you can play around with the engine sound. make the car sound different.

 

[Delirious]

I figured that but HOW do I get to the right spot to make the engine sound different

 

[DustDriver]

I'm jealous. I would love to have a license for this game, but i don't have a credit card to buy it.

 

[viper-GTP2007]

i have got a g25 steering wheel does this game support it and if it does. does it support the H shifter

 

[daan]

Yes, and yes. It supports the clutch too.

 

[Gabkicks]

infact, the new patch will have even better clutch support. all the details in the upcoming patch can be seen in the video @ www.liveforspeed.net
