Read Full Detailed Report - Live for Speed

LFS S2 is a serious racing simulator. No arcade modes, no steering aids - YOU have to do the driving. You can race alone or against the AI, but the real fun is to be found online, in multiplayer mode.
Widescreen and triplehead support has been in LFS for a quite a long time now. The coder of the game has a triplehead setup himself so support should and is flawless.

fixed.

Now we just need someone to test those resolutions, so this one can get the rating it deserves.

My the Surround comments, I'm guessing it natively supports Surround. It's not listed in the Matrox SGU.

Change the FOV in game. It's in the View section of the options.

An inaccuracy here, As of recent LFS versions, the FOV can be expanded up to 160 degrees.

A rather large bump, but found this post linked in the LFS manual, and thought that this minor inaccuracy be corrected.

Also, any resolution that the monitor reports to LFS (Is it visible in Display Propertys?) will be reported, and available in LFS.

Edited. This report was based on a older version when 120 was the max.
