New freeware sim "Rigs of rods"

A new freeware sim featuring cars boats & planes is now available here.
Still got a long way to go, but what's there is interesting good physics + operable cranes etc

The multiplayer looks like fun. Worth a try for the physics alone by the look of it.

That does look very cool actually, it aint FSX, but I must say, I liked the way that truck could drive into the back of the cargo plane up the ramp on the demo video, and the crash physics and damage are pretty amazing. Gonna keep an eye on that one, thanks for posting the link.

Now all we need is weapons and explosives and we could fully recreate the old Steve Jackson Games Car Wars/Boat Wars/etc...game and all it's addons ! I have a feeling that it's only a matter of time after seeing the demo videos ! I can't tell you the amount of time I spent in my teen years playing Car Wars ! I can't wait for someone to mod it into this engine and I KNOW it's going to happen.

Was that anything like interstate 76? I loved that game soooo much.

I tried RoR ,

I must say its quiet funny to just mess with things

but the weir thing was..I was flying that plane and at the sudden my Wing just folded up into weird position like it was made of paper

the rest is quiet funny, especially the trucks and boats

when you enter a vehicule..you must ignite and start it manually

*tjijij ijijij Vraoom* and clutch and shift gear

also you have to use the engine power in order to use the cranes and stuff
shift into neutral let that engine roar, put the support legs out..and lets lift some stuff up.
