haha! This is great now. No FFB so it feels a bit strange but much easier to drive now. I even found a road and 3 axle truck was kicking the rear out around corners...understeers horribly before that though!

I didn't have much of a go. I did notice a FFB box to tick though.

We will have to team up bro and go get some logs sometime.

I'm sure I've seen it even cheaper.

And it's a very special niche game. I want to recommend it like crazy one minute, then I don't the next...
  Shifting logs from one place to another over extremely difficult terrain is the whole gist of the game. That's it. And it can take hours to shift a small load. On hardcore mode if you get stuck that's it. You need to bring another truck in to get that one out. Get all your trucks stuck it's game over. and you might not of got a single log to a destination. So it might not be for some people.
Action is pretty slow. It's more about relaxing and just get some damn logs shifted.. A painful camera to get the hang of. But once you so it's not so bad.
  Modders love it. There is a very big 4x4 modding scene. The 4x4 car crowd don't really have a game to play in and Spintyres is open world with winches and all sorts of terrain... as long as the terrain is mud, water or rocks. or combinations of all three.

 It is very very pretty to look at. Their god rays work! It goes from day to night which is adjustable for no real reason. but they do it very well. Atmosphere is awesome.
I'd call it a strange Russian puzzle game with trucks, winches and logs. Still is early access. updates are very slow but they still are producing work.

Yeah there is FFB in the new spin tires update, tested it out for a little while yesterday, its nothing special and you only get 180 degrees lock to lock but it works its a little strange driving with a wheel from the strange camera angles tho. Would be awesome if they would add an in cab view.

would love cab view! I've seen a modder working on it but I don;t think it;s released.

Here are some of my screen shots of me trying to get some logs in various trucks.

Let me guess, in that last picture you were trying to back up with the medium log trailer. pretty much every time I try no matter what I do I almost always flip it because the trailer just goes where ever it feels like and gets caught and flips the truck.

yep it loves to get stuck or flip you in reverse.. That is when the camera can get a bit annoying where it wont more to a spot where you can see what your trailer is sticking on.

not the same intensity required. and that two hours would be over a week real time... and it's more pulling logs than pushing... you might have to lift a few if you drop your load...

Haha It reminds me of the  $multi-thousand sand pit I built for the kids in PNG, my Toyota got bogged on the beach with the load of wet beach sand
the 60Ton crane that I had brought down to pull me out, was mistakenly attempted to drive on beach... it was bogged
the ever increasing multi-drive trucks brought down to pull the crane, to pull me out were not up to the task
the crusher  was stopped, the very large rubber tyre dozer was driven down
which successfully pulled the crane out
at the same time as a gang of locals and I pushed the Toyota off the beach... (the whole thing took time!)   :-X

(Dick another story from the SHORT time I have been around  ::) )
