The Alpha was released last night along with a tech demo if you don't want to purchase it yet.

Haven't played it yet as it is still downloading but it looks great fun.

This is what's needed, this this awesome! Can you imagine if gran turismo had this level of physics when you crashed? It would transform he game.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention mate !

Thanks for posting this, some very impressive software there.

I like how you can modify the vehicle, it's fun just driving a chassis around! biggrin

Ooh, good find that, will try and download that later.

This coupled with Spin Tyres means the PH massive have brought two very interesting vehicular games to my attention, and long may it continue!

If you have bought the pre-alpha make sure and sign up for the forum too some users have already made some custom content you can install. Currently working on making a Unimog that could be used for this myself smile

Now on steam, a few updates - struggling for time to really get into mods but its starting to really become a very cool game - my only issue now is that my PC is struggling with FPS..

Just discovered this in the past month or so, it's great! I keep experimenting with crash tests! Quite scary the damage a truck can do to a queue of cars.

Still loving this, no updates for a month or so though? They were pretty much weekly for a while...

Is anyone still playing this?

I got it yesterday and just mucked about a little, the crash affects are brilliant.

I want to try and get my thrustmaster T150 working with this! smile

Not for a few months. My laptop will no longer run it very well but I am going to get a new PC soon which should run it ok. I see they have some support for wheels now too which is good.

The crashes look great but what's the rest of the game like? Decent races and physics?

There is a multiplayer mode. Not sure exactly how it works, but we could set up some cunning stunts evenings, il look into it.

There are a few games modes, cop chase stuff, a rally race etc.

Just tried the latest update, seems a lot better than the last version I had. Physics and handling are way better. Just need a PC that can run it now on anything other than minimum settings!
