Live For Speed S2 Patch 0.6F released

After releasing test patch 0.6E16n the LFS team now released the official Update Patch 0.6F for Live For Speed S2. This update supports stereoscopic 3D devices including TVs, projectors, headsets and the Oculus Rift and is fully compatible with 0.6E.  This patch comes with many improvements and fixes. (check the changelog below)

Westhill Update:

The LFS development team announced that while working on the S3 version they also updated the Westhill track. The International configuration has been improved in many places, particularly in the twisty sequence of bends in the far corner which is now more challenging.

There is a new National configuration, bearing off from the International track after the first right and left bends, involving some interesting gradient changes and technical bends. The scenery has been developed to a higher level of detail and you can drive around the access roads in the open configurations. The team is planning to release the updated track in a few weeks time.

Eric is still finishing some buildings and filling some holes in the Westhill track scenery and Scawen is making some improvements and optimisations to deal with the higher level of detail. After the Westhill update, Eric will continue with the S3 tracks he has been working on. Scawen will continue with the new tyre model.
