It would be nice to see those things re-implemented in RnR.

You're welcome. I just thought this was a better place for your post. It was a nice listing, and a job well done.

I pretty much listed everything I found after about 10 hours of playing.

This game has lots of potential, and it would a waste to leave it just like that.

I played most of the SCSSoft truck simulators and their physics and truck simulation would be a good example of what it should be in RnR. What they lack most is the environment, as rich as in RnR, as well as better economy and storyline.

Fingers crossed.

Driving on ice (I suppose it's that because this only happens when you see snow) feels more like a loss of power rather than loss of traction. If you floor the accelerator, the rpms don't go up, which feels like the rear wheels are running on tar rather than ice. On the other hand, the front wheels do seem to lose their traction as the truck does not respond to the steering wheel and easily slips out of control.

Hello, and welcome to the forum.

Truck physics is most certainly the number one reported problem with this game. It needs to be re-done from scratch I think. However, your post is a new twist to the physics that nobody else reported, and is a good find. I can only assume that not many have had snow yet, and if so, didn't put it to the test as you did. I'll have to keep this in mind. That's good attention to detail.

Winter driving is natural in this corner of the world, so in R'n'R it just felt so...so...unnatural. I'm used to slippin'n'slidin' and the engine revving when I step on the gas, so when I encountered ice for the first time in the game, I was wondering what was wrong with my truck. It seemed someone had substituted a moped engine for the standard 600 hp one.
