4 out of 5 stars

MOTORM4X is a non-formulaic racing-title that lets players drive and explore large outdoor terrains in a variety of SUV and off-road vehicles featuring simulated GPS and 4WD functions including player-controlled axle-locking, 4 wheel drive and GPS pathfinding

Sounds interesting, downloading now. Hope it supports the G25!

I'm liking it so far. It's got nice graphics, seems to run well, and the trucks handle about like trucks. They feel big, heavy and are slow to accelerate. You can completely control your 4wd subsystem by locking and unlocking your front and rear diffs and of course changing from 2d to 4wd and Hi range to Low range.

The difficulty, however, is something I'm having an issue with! The first race the demo gives you is labeled "Medium" but man it's hard. I disabled "Arcade" mode and I made it two feet up the first hill, got caught on a rock and simply stayed there spinning my tires till I ran out of gas and had to be towed to the gas station.

I need to figure out how to start a new game entirely so I can buy some good tires.

No support for the G25 but I got it half-ass working. Game has potential. For the first hill climb I upgraded the engine package and did the suspension upgrade with 4" lift. Once you get past those first few rocks its a piece of cake.

Those ultra-expensive offroad tires REALLY helped during the first part. I managed a 3:24 to win it on like my 50th try.

:thumbsdown::thumbsdown:

Two thumbs down Graphics good controls suck an elm tree and that camera view made me sick. Could not use my steering wheel unless I was missing something.

 

[Raduque]

keys 1-5 change the camera views. 1 is the default "dumb" camera, 2 is a hood view, 3 is bumper view, 4 is an unlocked "free" camera, and 5 is a locked "free" camera (It stays locked to the truck).

 

[tyler811]

ya did not care fopr it though. Do you have a wheel?

 

[Raduque]

Yes, but I don't use it. It's too much work to get it out, make room for it on my desk, etc etc.

I played with the keyboard and enjoyed it. The camera control system does need more work, but I didn't mind using it.

Jasonsix got his wheel to work.

If you're trying to use a wheel make sure that either the secondary or third columns are undefined (i.e. All of your wheel bindings are in the Secondary column and the third column says everything is undefined).

Here's how I got my G25 to work:
Left = Left Steer
Right = Right Steer
Forward (IMPORTANT!!!) = Push the throttle pedal all the way to the floor, select "Forward" to bind it, then when it's waiting for you to select a button release the pedal.
Back = (Leave this empty)
Handbrake = (IMPORTANT!!!) = Same as Forward except use your brake pedal.

When binding the throttle pedal, if you try and bind it normally it will be reversed in the game, i.e. 100% throttle on your gas pedal = no throttle in game, 0% throttle on your gas pedal = Full throttle in game.

I hope that makes sense!

EDIT:
I scowered the dev's website looking for answers to why things are so odd when trying to use a wheel with the game and didn't come up with much. Force Feedback IS NOT supported for this game and it seems like the gentleman from the company who posted on the forums there has no plans to implement it.

Also, no Multiplayer with no plans to implement that either. Just my personal opinion but I think this game is a case of what you see is what you get (Demo = Full Version). I could see them fixing the wheel issues in the future but that's about it. The game has great potential but...........
