 === What new features are included in S2? ===
 Nowadays, S1/S2/S3 license levels only indicate a level of content (cars and tracks) available to those owning the license. All features of the simulator are available to all players (except those marked on this page: https://www.lfs.net/shop/licenseselect ), since there is only one LFS client that gets constantly updated.
-There might be a confusion about S1/S2/S3 license levels, because when the S2 license became available, it also meant that an update to LFS came with it in parallel. That patch introduced damage, graphical and sound improvements, pitstops, driver changes, new cars, new tracks and much more. This, however is not the practice these days, and the S1/S2/S3 license levels solely mean the content (tracks/cars) one has access to.

 === What controllers are supported? ===
-Pretty much any wheel/pedals/shifter/handbrake you can think of. Generally, if the controller is properly recognised in Windows (you can open the device settings panel and see all axes moving), it will most likely work with LFS, as well. However, you might need to configure the axes of your controller manually, inside LFS (see also: [[Options#Setting_up_the_wheel|Setting up the wheel]] section). You can also drive with a mouse or keyboard, as well as most gamepads.
