Live for Speed: V0.6Q mit realistischerer Grafik und ControllerunterstÃ�Â¼tzung ZoomF�r die bereits seit mehr als 10 Jahren gepflegte PC-Rennsimulation Live for Speed ist ein neues Update verf�gbar. Dieses erh�ht den Versionsz�hler auf V0.6Q und bringt ein neues System zur Simulation realistischer Fahrzeugspiegel mit. In den VR- und 3D-Modi wird ein stereoskopisches Bild f�r jeden Spiegel erzeugt. �berarbeitungen im Beleuchtungssystem sorgen nun unter anderem daf�r, dass der Schatten des eigenen Fahrzeugs auch aus der internen Perspektive zu sehen ist.

Au�erdem wurde die Unterst�tzung multipler Controller verbessert und die Entwickler versprechen nun eine einfachere Auswahl eines angeschlossenen Controllers. Der Lenkradwinkel wird zudem auf den korrekten Winkel des gew�hlten Fahrzeugs begrenzt.

Das Update kann �ber die automatische Updatefunktion, die Live for Speed selbst mitbringt, oder auch manuell bezogen werden. Hierf�r werden ein 4 MB gro�er Patch von V0.6M auf V0.6Q und f�r eine Neuinstallation der 419 MB gro�e Installer angeboten.
