Yup, I've tried that out in the past. It's been around for a while, but it's constantly getting funnier.
It's fun to play around with for a bit, but not thát strong to stay interesting, I think.

They are SO nasty on their forum if you ask me.
A whole wiki fyll of rules, you are banned if you say like one thing wrong.
So don't register on their forum. Grumpiest lot ever.
But a nice game.
-
A little strict, huh ;D?
What exactly do you do in the game?

It is a big sand box for cars trucks and planes, and boats.
-
So what you are saying is that all you do is drive? Sounds like my kind of game ;D!

Yep, Drive, lift, tow. And it has multiplayer. (un stable on vista)
-
Wow, that looks kinda cool. What about strobe lights? And what happens in multiplayer?
-
You have lights, that flash on police cars etx.
Multiplayer is just free roam. Like SS. But it lags a LOT.
-
Ok. Is this game availible in stores or must it be bought off the internet? How do you get the strobe lights to work? How many downloads do I have to do in order to get all veicles?

It is open source, free. The game is free, the addons are free. www.rigsofrods.com
There are over 5000 addon vehicles so 5000 downloads if you want them ALL. But you can chose what you want.
Strobe Lights - "m" key
-
Wow, if only SS could be like that, then I could get NH ;D!
Doesent downloading things make you loose RAM?
-
It won't slow down your PC for RoR :P
The biggest file size is only about 2 mb. Maybe 11 for a pack :P
-
Just downloaded this game, i find the vehicle choice amazing! I've already written off my old Volvo on the way to a ferry i spoted earlier....oops ;D

Ok, I will talk to my parents about downloading it :). However, you do get a police car, right?
-
Yes, you get a police car.
-
Woo hoo ;D ;D ;D! Do I get a fire truck and a garbage truck :)?
-
Woo hoo ;D ;D ;D! Do I get a fire truck and a garbage truck :)?
Yep, you get like every variation of truck
-

NO? Playing the game makes you use ram, but the second you close it is back. You lose monthly bandwidth (from your ISP), if you have a bandwidth limit, I don't.

Ok. Because it says I have 1 gig of ram when my parents ordered 1.512 gigs. What is that a result of?

I would assume your computer is limiting it to 1GB (1028MB)
-
Ohh, ok that make sence...... I guess... ???.......
-

I know made me mad with my last computer too, thought having 4GB of ram would be cool yet it limited me to 2GB, AFTER I BOUGHT 4GB. Of course the store had strict, un-opened return policy...

Wow, must have been devistating to find out huh?

Just got Rigs Of Rods, its great! but just watch out for lag on MP. Overall its great for a free game!
And its certainly safe from viruses.
-
What are the controlls for the cranes? It does not say it in the manual :D.

Hi Captain ;)
The controlls for most functions on vehicles (including cranes) are the F buttons, e.g. F1, F2, F3. just go through them all to see different functions on different vehicles.
However, on normal vehicles e.g. Volvo Estate they tend to not have a function, simply because there is nothing to control. And, if you want to see the different functions for yourself (in writing) keep pressing C while in a vehicle until you see the functions at the center at the bottom, hope that helps.
If you have any more questions, just ask, NathanC is also another good person to ask about Rigs Of Rods, and i'm sure there any many others here with plenty of experience, once you know how to work the basics the rest comes by just pressing buttons and seeing what happens.
Oh and, one thing to remember, your can't move your mouse outside the game (if its windowed) so, you have to press the Esc (Escape) button. I'm not sure about if its not windowed but i assume it is the same way.
Kind Regards,
Jack.

Thank you Jack, Agent. What about the moveable cranes? Can they be operated? How do I select to get in a non moving, planted crane?

Press the big enter button on your keyboard and then type ;)

New question, how do I talk!!! I can't, nothing happens. Is this becasue I have enter as the exit vehicle button?

Does anyone know what is going on?
