17 changes in this update

Added

5 changes
  • Engine smoke: a hurt engine starts to smoke grey, and a dead one pours out black smoke

  • A new garage: every vehicle is a card with its picture

  • Four new vehicles on show, coming soon: Camper Van, Trail Crawler, Dune Buggy and Bog Runner

  • New stylised trees: conifers, larches, maples and pink blossom trees

  • Real tyres: every wheel now has its own collision

Improved

4 changes
  • Haul Jobs opens sooner: the community goal is now 10,000 km in Expedition (it was 500,000)

  • Softer, more realistic suspension over rocks and edges

  • Walls and rock faces now stop the tyre instead of launching the truck

  • The land now continues behind the start line instead of ending in nothing

Fixed

3 changes
  • Trucks flying into the air after hitting a rock or a wall with the nose or the tail

  • Trucks tipping over at the start of Red Canyon

  • Trucks righting themselves on their side or roof: roll over and you stay over, use the winch to get back on your wheels

Removed

1 change
  • The old 500,000 km Haul Jobs goal

Known Issues

4 changes
  • Rock gardens are still rough on the suspension if you take them fast

  • A truck can get stuck on a big rock when climbing slowly: reverse and try another line, or use the winch

  • Bumping into friends' trucks in multiplayer can still feel odd

  • The truck on the main menu can slowly creep on the slope
