Ever wanted to drive a SHERP® ATV? Now's your chance!

Read more about the DLC on the store page

Take the reins of the astonishingly capable ATV's (All-Terrain Vehicle) produced by SHERP® in this officially licensed DLC. Climb aboard the SHERP® N 4X4 ATV with its huge low-pressure tires and its flat-bottomed design allowing you to climb over obstacles of all shapes and sizes, use this vehicle to scout for cloaks located around the map before bringing in the monstrous SHERP® the ARK 10x10 ATV, the big boy of the pack.

SHERP® the ARK has articulated steering that can also steer vertically to climb over obstacles, or as with both ATVs, they are entirely amphibious, and they can swim across large bodies of water, even with a full load!

This DLC also includes a highly detailed map closely inspired by Yugyd Va National Park in the Ural Mountains area, offering the perfect environment to demonstrate the capabilities of the SHERP® ATV's! There are various challenges found throughout the map, including a collapsable bridge and an objective that is only accessible by water.

Included in the pack:

- Officially licensed SHERP® N ATV (4x4) with custom sounds, two paint schemes and 4K textures.
- Officially licensed SHERP® the ARK ATV (10x10) with custom sounds, crane attachment, garage load attachment and 4K textures.
- A sizable and highly detailed map closely inspired by Yugyd Va National Park with various dynamic obstacles.

This DLC brings with it a bunch of new features and improvements to Spintires® base game including:

v1.6.0

Added / New

- Tire inflation system (CTIS) and is available on the following vehicles SHERP N, SHERP ARK, B157, B131, C4310, C255, D535, E7310, B66, C4320)
- Differential steering, either by braking one side of wheels or reverse its rotation (tank-like).
- Support for chassis with multiple drivable articulations (ex: twisting left/right, and tilting cab up/down).
- Driver animations for vehicles driven with levers instead of a steering wheel.


Improvements

- Much more realistic water interactions, which now accounts for the shape of what's immersed, and applies buoyancy, water flow pressure, and skin friction.

- Entirely rewritten mud physics/simulation (not final, tweaks will be applied according to constructive feedback). New mud physics:
- Allow climbing out of a trench before reaching solid ground, if you have good grip and low slip.
- Reduce tarmac grip for a while after leaving mud, depending on how much your wheels are caked in mud.
- No longer deadstop vehicles with large wheels when they are barely dipping in mud.
- Road tires no longer perform well in mud but are less likely to break packed dirt surface.
- Accounts for weight distribution over the wheels.

- Removed the driver's sleeping animation (his back clipping through seats was a headache for both modders and developers).
- The driver now looks at where he's going, instead of looking at the camera.
- Increased maximum number of bones per mesh 16¨40.
- Forward Kinematics bones now have a mode dedicated to engine fan.
- Stronger brakes and diff locker.
- Smarter autogearbox, capable of useful downshifts during hill climbs.
- Drivetrain can now handle vehicle with wheels of different sizes.
- Enabled specular effect on static assets (aka "models").
- Crane grappler rotation button in the advanced menu has been merged with the main button for crane operation.
- Small change to advanced menu visuals.
- Improved "brown" water.
- Improved water particles, especially those particles when driving amphibious vehicles over water.
- Improved rain textures.


Fixes

- Crash when refueling in multiplayer.
- Some crashes when loading saves.
- Brakes now stop motion between wheel and chassis, instead of stopping absolute wheel motion.
- Killed "speed damage" (vehicle taking lots of damage when going fast, even on flat ground).
- Tires with high substance friction will no longer cause absurdly high fuel consumption.
- UI bug when at a fuel station.
- Achievement names and descriptions incorrectly displayed if they contain non-latin characters.
- Starting a game without clicking on "casual" or "hardcore" would start a hardcore game, even if casual was selected.
- Corruption after removing an addon in MP.
- Joining MP games through invites or friend list would sometimes not work.
- Increased K-700 and E-167 grip in mud.
- D-535 wheel rim could deform like rubber.
