It sure is annoying when a car pulls in front of you when you're doing 140, it is kind of cool when you fly right over him since you're going so fast.

I got some pretty good air pulling into a gas station at 100km/h or so today. I didn't take any damage either.

You actually have to enable them in the light configurator. Use the 'Cabin Adjustment' link in the main menu, or hit F1 to pause while driving and choose the light adjustment.

From what I can see, the game can't use both the top and bottom aux lights at the same time. They work separately just fine, but if I enable both at the same time the bottom ones won't work. They still show as "on" if you look at the front of the truck, but the light displayed on the dark road looks the same with just the top aux lights enabled as it does with both top and bottom on at the same time.

If I enable the bottom lights first, the light on the road visibly grows brighter, but then dims as soon as I turn on the top ones. If I enable the top lights first, turning the bottom ones on and off yields no visible change.

Yeah, it does weird things. The real use I get out of them is roof-mounted wide-angle high beams that turn it into daylight.

I was popular, once.
According to the latest blog post, the DLC will be out in September time. According to the guy that wrote the post, a polish blogger, the map really shows off more of Poland, including the fact that the motorways will suddenly stop and give way to country roads. He said its not perfect but there were less bugs than he was expecting and that people should like it.

Be that as it may, I'll still be rocking the TSM map, even if it isn't as great as the developer's efforts. Unless SCS add North Africa I and buyin'. :colbert:

Ok, maybe I will, but only to support them!

I might as well ask this unrelated question: why can't I watch poo poo on the iOS (iPhone 4S) Twitch App? Clicking your link automatically opens the app in its home, and I can't view it in Safari. Almost every stream I try behaves like this.

e: searching for most streams in the app never finds them, too.

This is why
http://help.twitch.tv/customer/portal/articles/1205233-twitch-apps-serve-top-300-channels

The app does not serve up every channel, only top rated and partnered channels.

They added the "Chat only" versions of steams you follow for channels not in the top 300 (why) in the latest app update.

The iOS twitch app only shows the top active streams (I think the top 700 now, it rises with patches. I think it was only 300 streams not long ago). I was able to watch a bit of kilonum's stream using the chrome browser on my ipad though.

After seeing that GIF, they seriously need to add a feature like in Flatout, where the people fly out of the vehicles upon collisions and fly every which way.

I would pay handsomely for Carnage DLC.

Just something you need to get used to. I prefer using the 'hang your head out of your window and look backwards'-view when parking.
Best tip I guess would be to take it slowly, and only make *small* adjustments otherwise you will be all over the place.

I don't really bother with the radio, I just use the steam overlay to listen to OST's and such.

My favorite at the moment is San Andreas's K-Rose station. "Now Amos Moses was a Cajun, lived by his-self in the swamp."

Yeah, but they only made speed limiter optional (non-mod) in the last patch and such. What I mean is they were kinda selling themselves short.
