Hold your phone sideways for the widest view.
Steer with your hands in front of your webcam, like holding a real wheel. The picture stays on your device.
- Start it: in the game open Controls & steering, pick Air Wheel and allow the camera.
- Hold still for 2 seconds with both fists up, then turn right once and push forward once. Done: it remembers your setup.
- Drive: turn your fists to steer, push forward for gas, pull back to brake.
The first start downloads the hand tracker (about 11 MB) once. Good light in front of you makes steering smoother.
