"Yeah, the game doesn’t work at all, and they’re busy with checkpoints" © SPINTIRES Hardcore.

A fresh batch of screenshots from the developers.

Yes, despite the game crashing issues and the unclear situation with user maps, the developers are pretending everything is fine and are working on improving the game.

In the upcoming update, we can expect a new Ural-375 (screenshots 1-3), checkpoints (blockposts), which we have already written about and will actually be openable (screenshot 4). The screenshot shows that you will only be able to pass through this checkpoint with an empty vehicle (no cargo).
Additionally, judging by the last (5th) screenshot, there will be support for the Steam Controller (according to other sources, the Xbox controller).

Well, we wait... We wait almost as much as for the crash fixes!

P.S.: As always, not a word about the update release date.

Gameplay
AlternateDifflockDamage="false" difflock damage in simulator mode is slightly more realistic than default, as it is based on the difference in angular wheel speed and is less forgiving.

Graphics
DisableDOF="true" disables depth of field (blur of objects very close or very far from the camera).
IncreaseTerrainLOD="false" -
NoVisualDamage="false" disables visual damage; effects such as sparks, oil leaks trigger when your truck is sufficiently damaged.
RenderDistanceIncrease="128" increases the rendering distance of mud by this number; some other objects are also affected. Default value: 0, maximum 255, 0 disables the feature, values in the last 18 numbers are practically meaningless due to additional engine limitations. For your information, the default rendering distance is 6 units, this will be 6+RenderDistanceIncrease.

ShifterReleaseFix="true" -
TrailerLoadFix="true" allows forcibly loading logs onto trailers even if your truck is "incorrectly positioned". The further from the correct position, the higher the chance to trigger a glitch with spinning and scattering everything around (recommended to enable as many people struggle with this)

Have a nice game!

Objects, plants, and textures from the "Winter Tale" map.

Attention! To work with the plants, you need to modify the files prebuild/common/brushes.xml and _templates/plants.xml. If you are afraid of breaking/cluttering the editor, make a backup. The necessary changes in these files are provided in a separate txt file in the media folder – copy the text from there. If desired and skilled, you can also create your own brushes.

The pack includes both custom-made objects and several retextured objects by other authors (for example, 2 items from the "Meshchera" map).

Objects: 3 village houses, 2 sheds, a two-story Khrushchyovka, a garage, two more buildings, sewage treatment facilities, a gas station, and more.

Also included:
4 overlays (asphalt with slush, snowy road, two types of cliffs),
3 snow textures (clean snow, dirt with snow, grass under snow),
vegetation: fir trees, birches, small trees, bushes, "snow chunks," two types of grass.

Ref approximately 400x400 meters in size. Perfectly suited for 32x32 sized maps.

And yet they rotate... I'm talking about the tracks! The tracks in SpinTires, CARL!

It so happened that in the game SpinTires everything is different from the rest: here we have a unique physics engine that allows for the most realistic off-road vehicle movement to date; and the game was essentially created by one person - that's an enormous effort! Unfortunately, the game is now being "polished" by the players themselves, although the developer continues to work, but people are tired of waiting.

Okay, releasing patches that prevent game crashes and add extra features (like with the camera, etc.). But here are the tracks! Just look at them! By the way, the cannon seems to rotate along with the camera.
Of course, this is only a test sample and everything works not quite well: only one track rotates, and its grip on the surface seems to be small. But still, this is a step forward, let's see what happens next and wait for a mod for general testing :)

The author of this marvel is a foreign modder with the nickname Bad Noob.

The source files will allow you to edit the "Coastline" map to your liking – add locations, change their positions, transport, objects, etc.
See the installation method in the video.
