So I found this through a Facebook Cherokee group that I'm a part of and I couldn't play it with my old laptop, but I can with my new one! Physics are pretty good, and it's very addicting to tinker with when you have that offroad itch. There is a forum for it, though I don't plan on joining. The forum has the download, new rigs to download (I downloaded an XJ of course) and several How-To's. Here's the site. I recommend downloading it from there and nowhere else though... and best of all IT'S FREE! http://www.rigsofrods.com/content/


Here's some screen shots that I took :D

See, THAT'S why you get a computer!

Looks pretty cool, and realistic. Er...more than most that try an offroad type simulation. And fairly accurate with the XJ... except for the front leaf springs. :rolleyes:

Yeah, I was curious about the front leafs too, but we are allowed to create and design our own rigs so I may give it a shot

Customization, or the ability to, can make a big difference to how long one plays. So, cool!

Sweet! I may have to add this to my collection of offroad games.

Have you played Offroad Nation or Crawl 4x4? Free apps on the phone, it keeps me entertained for a good couple of hours lol

Yep, I've had both. Pretty entertaining!

It's not a very straight forward game either, a lot of stuff to figure out trial and error. Reading the forum helps a lot on how to do things, but after reading a few posts I can already see they flame people so I won't be joining it. It does help to have a full size keyboard with a number pad though, so I have a wireless one hooked up to my laptop so I can pay the game.

That is really odd. I downloaded it from a different source first and got a bunch of malware. I got it all cleaned up and did some research and the forum for it said to download it only from their site to avoid malware. I did that and haven't encountered a single issue when I got it from there. I did have to make sure to deselect all the toolbars it wants to download for you though, I hate when people try to trick you into downloading toolbars. Like Adobe. Every update I do tries to get me to download a toolbar.
