It's just a shame the BMO Harris Bank Center isn't big, I mean, seriously...

That's it. That's all they have to work with.

So this is Brandon’s first show driving Digger I believe?

Possibly.

So apparently there's a show happening tonight and tomorrow at the BMO Harris Bank Center in Rockford, IL, which is kinda close to where I live at, but sadly I'm unable to see it. I at least got to meet the driver for Grave Digger #31, which is Brandon Vinson, since he had the truck parked for display over at the Metro PCS store just a few minutes away from my home in Loves Park. Thankfully I got an autograph from him and asked him a few questions, and apparently he actually plays Rigs of Rods, which took me by surprise. As for the other drivers for the event there, Monster Jam's site provided this: " Master of Disaster driven by Paul Strong, Max-D driven by Jared Eichelberger, Mutant driven by Steven Sims, Rage driven by Cory Rummell, Stinger driven by Zane Rettew, Wrecking Crew driven by Mike Thompson."

Hah, I've never seen that kind of terrain for RoR before. Nice looking truck so far though!

Alright, I think i've got those new zoomies sounding and screaming right now, what do you think?

Yep, that's definitely aggressive sounding if you ask me!

Brand new tune collab by Dirtyphonics and Sullivan King!

Oh man, it's great to see you back Xunlex! I'm looking forwards to the new sounds you have, especially those zoomies. Keep it up!

Apparently Sullivan King decided to do a debut album.

It may not be monster truck related, but since this vehicle literally shares a part that came from here, it may as well be posted.

This car right here is the finished form of a project I started over 2 years ago, and during the last time I worked on it, I had no idea what else would be best. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, and after some heavy thought, I revisited the mod and gave it a new scheme, plus some minor fixes, and with the help of a friend I know who happens to be one of the current admins on the Rigs of Rods forums, I was able to have a new spoiler placed onto it, as well as having valve flaps that actually move when the car accelerates and decelerates. The only thing that needs to be fixed is the unstable n/b, but sadly that's something I would need dire help with, since I don't know jack squat with that besides flexbodies, wheels, props, sounds, and some speed settings.
Anyhows, here's the list of credits for this beauty.

This one is metal as heck!
In other news, Excision released the Virus remix album, and it's pretty neat.

Current project pictures.

Okay, I'll be frankly honest, seeing all of these trucks is seriously impressing me! Also, that Monster Patrol custom looks sick! Keep up the great work on all of these!

*Insert epic Dodge Charger pics*

Holy crap dude, is that mesh like a brand new one, or customized from one of the early RoR vehicles, because if it is brand new, props to you for making an actual Charger! We've needed one of these things for idk how long, but you've finally answered the long awaited prayer!

I tried to make the modern day hood flames for Grave Digger. I might edit them more later, but I think they turned out fine.

Woah, those do look much better! I'm liking what I'm seeing there, keep it up!

Usually a folder will show up after you first run RoR, which will be located under the "my documents" section. After that shows up, then all should be good.

0.38.67 and other legacy build versions are located here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/rigsofrods/files/rigsofrods/

Well, over here in Northern Illinois, there's just constant rain, but the system is starting to dwindle down, so hopefully in the next 2-3 hours, it'll leave the vicinity and continue heading east.
EDIT: Okay, apparently there was a tornado that touched down north of Salem, IA around 3 hours and 30 mins ago, so I hope no one was injured in its path. :/

Just gonna throw this out here...

I know this may be a bit of a bump, but after fully watching "Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans" (seasons one and two), I can firmly state that it is my most favorite take on the Gundam franchise as a whole. It even caused me to get another model kit from the series, which the recent one is just an absolute beast (If anyone was wondering what it looks like, it's here ->http://imgur.com/a/cIlXy). All 50 English-subbed episodes are on youtube via GundamInfo's channel, as well as the first season's 25 episodes being English-dubbed (I'm sure they'll get the second season dubbed soon as well).

"Grave Digger is getting some air!"

(Idk if screenshots taken from the past are acceptable, but if they are, then this is my contribution to the week. )

Hope I'm not too late with my contribution...

Insert GD bake

I may have not been the one to request that bake, but I actually have been looking to get something like this to redo the 20th Anniversary scheme without it being not aligned properly and all. Thanks for that!

You've been dong this for a while so you probably already know, but there's an easier way to tilt the camera than to have to spawn a Gavril in. You can just use any interior cam but the the vehicle on an angle before you go into free cam. In other words you can just put one side of the truck on a low obstacle and go into free cam to achieve the same effect without having to spawn multiple vehicles.

Unless something has changed since I played RoR xD

Yeah, I've been aware of that technique too, it's just kinda hard to lose the habit the way I do it, but then again, it's been done like that for a good two or so years. XD

whats the purpose of the vehicle that has a pitched inner camera if your going to change the camera anyway? Or even spawning a vehicle like that?

Why? Because I really like slightly pitched camera angles, and it gives the overall picture a unique perspective.

WOW that's a long process. But if it makes your stuff look that real and amazing, I say worth!

Like dis? ;D

Exactly like that! I almost forgot to mention, but I also use the feather tool on the truck itself, and I make sure it's on "1".
