‘Ultra Off-Road’ is an Indie simulator of off-road driving in the land of Alaska.

[h1]Apparently I lied.[/h1]
In previous [url=https://steamcommunity.com/games/957050/announcements/detail/1788397405087554010]Update Note[/url] I said the next update patch will arrive in [b]couple of days[/b].
Well - its [b]here and now[/b] instead. What's in it?
[h1]1. Freeride Mode[/h1]
[b]Freeride Mode[/b] is what you request. so:
- [b]NO [/b]hunger
- [b]NO [/b]fuel consumption
- [b]NO [/b]car damage
- [b]ALL [/b]maps are [b]UNLOCKED[/b]
So you can drive around to your heart's content. Well how to turn Freeride ON?
First you need to go to Settings in Main Menu

Check the 'checkbox' for 'Freeride'

Now click on New Game as usually to see that all maps became unlocked.

The Hunger/Fuel/Damage interface is still there for now, but ignore it as in [b]Freeride[/b] - its functionality is completely [b]disabled[/b].

[h1]2. 'Work In Progress' Input Mapping[/h1]
In near future - you will be able to bind all and any keys or input from [b]Settings [/b]in [b]Main Menu[/b]. So when we do [b]NOT[/b] have it now - we enabled the same functionality in the [b]game launcher[/b].
You can access input mapping by starting the game and switching tabs from '[b]Graphics[/b]' to '[b]Input[/b]'. As I said - [b]I know[/b] its not perfect and we'll make it better [b]very soon[/b].

[h1]3. Experimental Widescreen Support.[/h1]
As some of our gamers reported - Ultra Off-Road wouldn't display properly on Widescreen monitors. Now it should.
But to be sure 100% - I need to ask those of you who has such monitor to try it out and confirm is everything working correctly.

[h1]4. Freecam/Screenshot Mode[/h1]
Now when playing - you can enable/disable '[b]Freecam[/b]' mode by pressing '[b]C[/b]' on your keyboard.
This will enable you to rotate the camera around and zoom in/out as you please. Worth noticing is the fact that '[b]Freecam[/b]' does not stop you from playing the game - you still have full control of your car.

[h1]What's Next?[/h1]
Next patch will take a bit more days and will bring full controller support and perhaps even Steering Wheel support. Also - InGame menu for setting your own key mapping. After that - the launcher's 'Input' tab will be disabled. We want to bring more things in next patch but I won't name them - I don't want to jinx it this time.
