Has anyone made one of those little remote controlled drones? I think they would be perfect for camera operators to film in the game for events.

I would like to second this request. This would be a great track to have for leagues.

Somebody must've bought the old girl from Jesse Burgy.

There's a section of the downloads page called "scrapyard". Go into the truck building parts and download every file that says anything about wheels or tires. And then put those files into your V4 pack where you put all your trucks. That's what I do and I don't usually have that problem anymore.

Nevermind. I'm just gonna use .4.6.

I'm not too familiar with the boards here, and I don't want to post in the wrong place. But I have an idea for something that would not only be a racing/freestyle league, but also something that would be recorded for a show on YouTube. I know some of the people here already post videos on YouTube, and I've seen some of them, but none of them really match the idea that I have. It would require a bunch of people, not just to participate in the racing and freestyle, but also to record the event, and time the racing and freestyle, and judge the freestyle, and other things. This would be a big project sort of thing. So, under which section of the boards should I post this idea?

I've been using .4.5 for a while now and things were fine. I just saw that .4.7 had been released so I installed it. But when I go to play with it, there seems to be a problem where the truck has more power on one side than it does on the other. Like if I try to do donuts, for example, if I turn to the right, it seems overpowered, but if I do them to the left, it seems way underpowered. Is this a known problem? Is there maybe some option in the menu I can use to fix this?

Okay. That's all I need to know then.

But is there a better pack that I should be using? That's what I meant to ask.

I'm using the .4 version of the game. Should I still be using the .38 version of the V4 truck pack? For clarification, this is the one I'm using.

Is that the one I should be using with the .4 version of the game? Or is there a different V4 pack I should be using?

The process seems pretty simple. In the game files, under Documents, you go into the config folder and find the G27 file that should have come with the game when you installed it. You just copy and paste whats in that file into the input file and then alter the button mapping so it fits what you want it to do. You will need a diagram of which buttons are what number, and I can't even seem to find one that is actually right, so good luck there. After you've altered the button mapping, you save the input file so it keeps the changes you made, and then just start the game. I hope that's all there is to it.

I don't even get it myself, but I'll try.

Actually, scratch that. I got the deadzone for the gas pedal for sure, and the rear steer mapped, but everything else is still screwy.

I actually found a button layout and I think I now have the buttons figured out and mapped the way I want them. But I still need the deadzone on the gas and brake pedals figured out. Does anyone know the proper deadzone numbers?

The G27 map that came in the files with the game doesn't work right. Colineri's map that he has posted under software in the downloads section says the file isn't there and I can't download it. Could someone help me get this thing mapped correctly so I can actually drive the truck? The problem I'm having is the truck takes off as soon as I hit the gas pedal and it won't stop even after I let off the gas. It just wants to keep accelerating. I'm guessing I have the dead zone on the gas and brake pedals set wrong. I also have no rear steer controls. If I could get the rear steer controls mapped to the red buttons on the steering wheel, that would work really well for me. Does anyone know how to put that into the input file to make that work? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have wanted to be a monster truck driver since I was a kid. I grew up loving monster trucks and watching the shows on TV. I would love to be a driver for the Bigfoot team because Bigfoot has always been one of my favorite trucks and without Bob Chandler monster trucks may have never really been a big thing. I would also be willing to drive for almost any team as long as they had a good truck and weren't a bunch of a**holes. I'd obviously love to have my own truck of my own design if possible. But just having the opportunity to drive a monster truck at all would be cool.

Has anyone attempted to re-create the tracks from the Monster Truck Destruction game? And if not, is there anyone that would be willing to take a shot at it? I don't know if you'd be able to just rip the terrain files out of the PC version of the game and convert them to the proper file type for Rigs of Rods, hopefully to be compatible with the .4 version of RoR. But a lot of those tracks look like they would be really fun to race on in RoR, especially in one of those series that you guys run.

The download link doesn't work anymore. It says it might have been deleted or moved.

I don't know if you've thought of this yet, but with that body style you could make a monster truck version of the Echo-1 from Ghostbusters. I'm pretty sure that was the same style hearse they used for it in the movies.

When I use the truck, it doesn't have any sounds. Which sound pack do I need for it to work properly? I believe I already have Beau4x4's sound pack, so I'm guessing that's not the right one? The truck looks pretty good though.

When I try to load it it says it's missing a file named OR4wsLower.mesh. Does anyone know where I can find that piece? Maybe the other Bad Habit truck?

I finally made up my mind on all the parts and edited the original post to reflect the changes.

I hope nobody has started working on this. I'm still not very sure on all of the pieces that I want to go into the truck.

The zip file seems to be missing a MaroonDriveshaft.mesh file so an error comes up when I try to load the truck.

Watching your video Jago and you say that the trucks roll over a lot. The only reason why they do that is because I believe you have your gears set at "Automatic Shift". That means that they automatically shift for you. Go into Controls - Advanced and change your gearbox mode to Manual shift - Auto clutch. That way the truck will stay in first gear and you can control the truck more.

I was actually thinking about doing that. Thanks for the tip.
