Anyone play this? I suppose not a search found nothing. Neat game heavy duty utility off road in Russia.
Saw it on Steam and looked about tried the demo neat game.

The basic idea is that you drive different vehicles on large maps with differing terrain the game has a full day night cycle as well. Lots of Russian trucks URAL,MAZ others that I do not know the name off one is the truck used to pull the SCUD.

Anyway you can perform diffrent jobs like deliver lumber or simply drive around and you can try and drive anywhere depending on the terrain you may or may not succeed.You can select to have 4-wheel mulit-wheel and differentials on or off (these use more fuel of course). Kind off fun fording a river and then driving up a bank blazing your own road.

What is really neat is that you can actually move the shift column with the mouse or a pad neat little touch.You can also make use of winches when you get stuck hopefully you can get out it does not always work. The deatil level is very nice the suspension is articulated and so are some of the specialty trucks.

The game is fully mod friendly as well so there are already tons of off road type vehicles out there.I have not tried any yet.

Only real dings so far are no in cab view and I dont think it supports any wheels yet nether are game breakers for me the detail makes up for the lack of cab view.Camera can be a bit wonky but not terrible.

Anyway neat little game check out the demo.

couple of screens

PS the trucks have very cool looking diesel exhaust.I had to place the truck in park to take the photos so no use of the accelerator to cause the exhaust.

The damage was caused from rocks hitting the transfer case.I think you can cause damage if you drop into 4 wheel drive while moving as well not sure.

In Russia truck makes road!!

Honestly I have no idea where I am going

You're not going anywhere with the Parking Brake on.

I'm loving it so far.

First thing I did. Maybe 100 metres away from the lumber pickup point.

The water is a bit deep. Misjudged the depth.

I LOOOOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First 2 hours of gameplay: got 300m from the base, drowned one UAZ, overturned 2 trucks and got myself stuck in mud out of range of any winching anchors.
Then closed the game and went offroading with my real life car.

Refill in the middle of nowhere

Onroute second load (winch time)

Good infrastructure

Not so good infrastructure

All in all fun game, especially in hardcore mode

The developers do the occasional Railsim stuff, they are good guys and I hope this does well, they deserve it.

I know with the brake off the truck would roll on down the hill while I took the screens.So far as I am aware there is no pause only for time not for live action so to speak.

That was were it lost me.

A driving simulator without dedicated wheel support, that is like playing Assetto Corsa with XBox controllers. Can be done, yes - but misses the idea completely.

I suppose so but it is still a fairly fun game certainly not purist though.

The only simulator I have seen that really felt real was an actual tractor trailer simulator I "drove" recently it felt just like the real thing right down to feeling the clutch grab I was surprised it felt just like driving a truck down the road which I do in real life everyday. Of course this machine cost several thousand and actually used a real cab,shift column and steering wheel.

This game needs a good chainsaw add-on

I'm too fond of going directly trough a forest, not much of a problem with an UAZ, but I just tried the same stunt with the rustbucket (B-class) and trailer

I'll just leave them where they are

Maybe one of those Scandinavian deals that actually walks on legs that would be pretty cool.

Mud · 06-16-14, 04:40 AM

Oh man, this game is freaking hard labour

Stuck again .......

But I've finally made it
