Should I wait for the S3 or get the S2 now?

[seroy]

How soon will it be out? Will it be cheaper to buy the S3 with everything in it or just buy the S2 now and wait for the S3 upgrade? Also why is it alpha version and will there be a S2 final version? I found there seems to be bugs with my force feedback steering wheels. It seems to lose response during steering resulting to understeer/oversteer after long pauses. Is this also your case?

S3 wont be out for a long time, so you should upgrade to S2 because its worth it! :)

Each step has the same cost (ATM).
S1 costs 12£, upgrading form S1 to S2 costs 12£ too, and buying the S2 from scratch costs 24£, no cost difference.
As I know it'll be the same for S3 : S3 from scrach = S1 + S1->S2 + S2->S3
So no need to wait

If you like the demo, I think u can buy the license now ;)

Edit : I don't experience FFB problems. If your wheel is an USB, maybe u have a problem with anoter USB device

I will try and answer these, the best I can.

Q - How Soon will it be out
A - S3? Who knows. Its a long way off.

Q - Will it be cheaper to buy S3 than buying S2 now then S3
A - It will ( I think ) cost you the same. As in, £24 for S2, then another £12 when S3 comes out, or £36 for S3.

Q - Why is this an Alpha Version and will there be S2 Final
A - This is an Alpha Version of the Full S2. We are lucky to be able to test the product before its full release. Yes there will be an S2 Final.

Q - Steering Issue's
A - Depends on your steering wheel, and the setup you have in Windows/Game Profiles. LFS handles the FF very well on its own, there is no need to have all the Spring Ratio's turned on ( if you have a Logitech FF wheel ). But this is all a matter of Preference, what suits you. The best settings to use in the Game Controllers Control Panel is as follows ( so I have been told )

Force Feedback: 100%
Spring Effect Strength : 0 %
Damper Effect Strength : 0 %

Center Spring 0%

Should you buy S2 Now? Well, imho Yes. Its great fun, very enjoyable and there is nothing better than racing Unprodicable Humans :)

I have just one word. YES! Or six words to be precise. Actually twelve. No fourteen . . . . damnit.

Indeed, grab S2 ASAP. Great fun and you'll pay the same anyway once S3 is out :thumb:

In case you really want to wait for S3, I suggest you might just get a PHD in medics, when you are done then S3 should just be out. :D
