sell me my old work computer(kickass iMac) I'd have plenty of computing power for this.

Just FYI, a lot of Steam games aren't available on Mac.  Doesn't look like Spintires is available, for instance.

Most macs will run windows through bootcamp.  Most macs generally have mobile versions of video cards so I don't know how great they are for gaming.  I used to run iRacing on my Macbook Pro.  It did a pretty good job.

Awesome game.  If anyone is thinking about getting this now or down the (logging)road aside frome whatever kind of PC you have to have you MUST posses one thing. "Patience" depending on where and what your driving be prepaired to do a lot of winching.  Thank goodness for the garage respond.  Before  I knew that was possible I had three vihicles stuck in one spot. Then one ran out of fuel. Anyway this game looks great! I think it could do with less rock/bolders on the main logging roads. Those mixed with the heavy ass mud is is a pain in the ass. I will say as the game goes on you learn the lay of the land much better and can see enough differerance as to avoid some of the real Nasty stuff. Sometimes 

also I think the damage is a tad excessive . All the little 2 and 4 point damage hits add up quick.

All in all it exceeded the $30.00 I paid for it.

I think only a couple of us have this game. Here are some downloadable mods.

Now I have to figure out how

The major drawback right now with mods for SpinTires is that for the most part I believe they actually replace existing game files, so instead of being something extra that adds to say a new truck to the game it simply replaces an existing one.  Another side effect of that is it can stop can multiplayer from working (which may not be a problem since right now you can't save progress in MP games) and also some achievements won't work either.  Hopefully at some point they'll make the game properly allow mods and custom content :).

You will find some that over write other files. Many are their own and wont over write existing files or replace original game vehicles. If I am reading it correctly. Some come in a pack so they have to install separate sound. vehicle and wheel animation files. I haven't tried any yet. been reading and only looking for complete packs. Check out this K5 Blazer

Just a short snippet of a wooded bridge flexing under load. And a little suspension movement.

Another just running around. Looking to uncloak areas of the map. I stumbled across a 8 wheel drive monster. No damn fuel >:(

I would also like to see this moved to the PC section if any Red Letters would be so kind :)

It's the less obvious or smaller details like that which really bring the game together for me, the fact that they took the time to add that bridge flex in says a lot.  If you haven't seen it yet Rek try one of the trucks with the full size Garage Trailer on it, it's a big off white semi trailer that a couple of trucks can use and the way that twists and flexes as you pull it around is amazing!

Also great videos :).

Right on Feldynn. Same one you have to use to supply and unlock discovered garages.

I reckon it ain't titled as such but everything is PC based.
