‘Ultra Off-Road’ is an Indie simulator of off-road driving in the land of Alaska.
[h1]1. Ultra Off-Road just got 'Ultra Control'![/h1]

Someone said that the true fun and joy of off-road is the car customization and adjustments. Well now you gain FULL control of your drives. Something even the biggest of [b]our competitors doesn't have[/b].

Here's the full list of what you can adjust from now on.
[u]ENGINE[/u]
Min/Max RPM, max power, force induction, spool up time, power gain.
[u]TRANSMISSION[/u]
final gear ratio, target shift up/down RPM, clutch RPM, shift duration.
[u]STEERING[/u]
lower/high speed angle, degrees per second limit.
[u]DRIVING ASSIST[/u]
TCS, ABS, stability, drift assist.
[u]SEPARATE CONTROL OF AXLES[/u]
power coefficient, brake coefficient, handbrake coefficient, differential strength, steer coefficient, Ackermann percent, toe angle, caster angle, camber at top/bottom, anti-roll bar force.
[i]So from now on if I'll see another Review bashing us for lack of customization - I'm seriously calling the cops lol.[/i]
[h1]2. Icons became a bit more 'serious' and a bit less 'arcadish'.[/h1]

Hope you like them.
[h1]3. Physics tweaks[/h1]
We are still trying to find a bullet-proof method to stop the cars from going 'Luis Armstrong', upon getting glitched between obstacles. Meanwhile - we tweaked the code a bit. Result? 'Skyrocketing' should be much, much more rare. Also: if anybody has screenshot or even better - videos of this occurrence - please share them with us. We still couldn't replicate this bug and experience it first-hand.
[h1]4. Car Lights and Wide Lights[/h1]

Now you got two kinds of lights. We figured out Long Lights would be kind a pointless in off-road driving, but lights with wider cone might come in handy. So boom - you got them now.
'L' - for regular lights
'K' - for wide lights.
[h1]5. Xbox One Controller user - plug out'n'in.[/h1]
Out of all controllers and funky apparatus - Xbox controller appears to be the most annoying to work with.
Sometimes you can map its input in the '[b]Input[/b]' tab of the launcher - sometimes you can't.
Sometimes even if you can't map it - it will still work in game (and sometimes it won't).
First time we plugged that lil' devil - it wouldn't work at all (but OS detected the device and installed the corresponding drivers).
Then we unplugged it - and plugged again. Boom - it started working.
Then we unplugged'n'plugged AGAIN and boom [i]'nope hot shot, now I won't let you use me'[/i].
With all due respect to Microsoft - but their product appears to have some legit, mental disorder.
Regardless - we are doing our best to find a permanent solution and fix it once and for all. Sadly - not yet. Sorry for that :(
[h1]6. Terrain and Cars geometry optimization[/h1]
We (again) modified collision polygons of cars and landscape. So the world become even MORE accessible than before. Of course - we still try to stay loyal to realism. Anyway - now you can try and accomplish stuff like this below.

[h1]ANNUAL NOTE[/h1]
As usual - any bugs and weird stuff you'd find - report it right away. I might not reply ALWAYS - but I DO note everything. So yeah - keep that feedback stream flowing.
Oh and have a nice weekend =)
