"The Ridge (The Ridge)" is a completely new and free DLC that will be released on PC, PS4, and Xbox One on May 29, 2018. This is the second expansion for SpinTires: MudRunner and will include entirely new content for the game, including two new vehicles, a new map, and a brand-new game mode - Scavenge. The new map - The Ridge, will feature a ridge that splits the map in half and will require players to first scout the route and then sneak through the mountain.

Ahead of the release of the "The Ridge" expansion, the developers continue to present vehicles to share information about the amazing new machines that will appear in the game with the new free DLC!

Vehicle description:
Designed for the rugged terrain of The Ridge, the MAZ-538 (D-538) tractor is perfectly suited to support other vehicles during "Scavenge."
A large truck, well-prepared for off-road driving, the MAZ-538 is an excellent addition to the scout vehicle and can assist it in difficult situations.

Technical specifications:
The MAZ-538 has a 400-liter fuel tank and can withstand up to 800 damage points. It is a powerful vehicle capable of transporting heavy loads through mountainous terrain and easily delivering logs in "Scavenge" mode.

Advantages:
This is an all-wheel-drive tractor with a permanently locked differential; the MAZ-538 feels right at home on the rugged terrain of The Ridge.

Disadvantages:
The MAZ-538 is not very effective on asphalt surfaces, as it is exclusively an off-road tractor.

Add-ons:
- Spare wheel - 120 repair points.
- Fuel tanks - 120 liters of fuel.
- Loader - loading logs onto the trailer.
- Fuel trailer - 900 liters of fuel.
- Medium flatbed trailer - transporting medium logs (requires installed DLC - Valley)
- Garage trailer - 2 garage points.
- Flatbed trailer - transporting short logs.
- Service cart - 300 liters of fuel and 400 repair points.

The archive contains three bat files for clearing the Spintires: MudRunner cache:

1) Full cache clear (complete game settings reset).bat - a standard cache clear (deletes the SpinTires MudRunner folder located at \AppData\Roaming\), works from any location - just run it.

2) Cache clear (without resetting game settings).bat - clears only the game cache (does not touch user settings), works from any location - just run it.

3) Clear Media folder and cache.bat - my own creation: needs to be placed in the game folder; when run, it deletes the Media folder with all its contents and creates a clean Media folder + clears only the game cache (does not touch user settings).
Convenient for testing mods on a clean version of the game without having to configure the game each time.

All files operate automatically - just run and done :)

There are 3 variants of the SUV. It has 7 of its own addons, its own sounds.

Brings the behavior of dirt in the game closer to reality.

Now, if you fly into the mud at full speed, respectively, mud splashes heavily stain the car, when slipping and driving through mud on high gear as well, but to a lesser extent, well, etc., depending on the selected speed mode.
The mud splashes themselves and their physics have been made more realistic, ridiculous lumps on wheels have been removed (thanks to Soul Reaver for that) and dry small hard lumps flying out from under the wheels, only slush has been left, its intensity has been increased at gears 1+ and higher.
Pollution on cars now has volume, which also adds realism.

I recommend using it with the following additions, it will greatly darken the visual effects of the new dirt:
SweetFX graphics improvement
Always the sun+Fog Reduction+Blue sky
Removing graphics noise

To work in multiplayer:
Do not install SweetFX. Use SpinTiresMod.exe with the original files in the game disabled.
PS. Many thanks for the help to Alexander Oboskalov.

Installation:
In case you don't like it, the archives of the game Media, MeshCache, TextureCache copy and save in a separate folder.
Copy files from the downloaded archive to the game archives, agreeing to a replacement.
In any unclear situation, we clean the cache.
