Found this little Kickstarter game recently. Looks pretty cool. Wonder if it is mod friendly. Just might be able to add a little treat of "our" own. ;)

Sounds like fun! I'm not a modder, but you can create a VX for me. :)

If i wasn't spending every dollar I have on school I'd jump right in on this. Guess I'll just have to pay when it comes out.

I thought I would never get that MAZ to flip, but I was able to use the Jeep as leverage. :)

This game is a lot of fun, but that Jeep is totally useless without the diffs locked. Can't wait to see what the final version has in store for us. At least I can quit going around in circles :yesy:

I decided to have a little fun, and see if I could park the jeep on top of the MAZ and drive around with it on top. The answer was yes and no...

Here's what happens when you drive over the top of the MAZ...

I was able to get it parked on top...

But apparently the graphics engine can't move both vehicles at one time....

The jeep looks funny stuck to the wall like that...

I also found out how to reset the terrain if you tear it pretty bad with the trucks. Uninstall and reinstall did nothing. I found a folder in Windows 7 called {UserName}/AppData/Roaming/SpinTires/ that holds four files - Config.xml, MeshCache.mhc, ShaderCache.sdc, and UserConfig.xml. Delete all four files and the program will recreate them and start you from the beginning.

There is also a folder called Shots that holds .png files that are the screenshots you get with Print Screen. That's where my screen shots came from.

I don't know how successful this game will be, but I've already caight myself playing long after I should be in bed. Isn't that the sign of a good video game?
