That truck you just released yesterday (which is a beauty!) Did you somehow made it with the porting of the game to DX9 in mind? Those Firestone tires look a little more high res than usual from what I'm seeing just by loading it with the J-Truck Viewer.

Let there be no mistake about it, it's only going to get better from here to a point where we can just about make trucks with such detail equivalent to those that you would find on both Beam and Rigs.

I didn't actually but glad to hear it worked out that way. looks sick!

I've basically been confined to Cale's HD trucks for a long time, ever since the primative DX5 was still running with both Comm Patch 2 and the Beta 0.43 patch for 8 years now, anytime I try to run whatever addon truck there is out there, especially yours, the game will just start choking itself out by running in slideshow 15FPS, regardless of mainly just being one truck running, with no other CPU trucks around, and the draw distance being capped at it's vanilla 20 tiles, the game will still find way to wince and whimper, as long as it's still continuing to put up with that god awful DX5 renderer doing all the work.

Thankfully now, especially with the next update coming, DX9 will just completely annihilate every single bottleneck there is once it's out, running all 8 addon trucks with full draw distance without a single slideshow to speak of, and we can actually start doing incredible things with this game once again, hopefully by that stage as well, there will be some form of community comeback over here as a result of all of this.

I do wonder if Fila is putting a lot more work into this new update considering it's already been like 5 days since he mentioned it to Cale as far as truck making is concerned? I've been mostly hanging around here continuously hitting refresh in anticipation, a little impatient, but I'm that eager about after Beta 0.45, hehe!
