D Series Off Road Simulation has been rebuilt from the ground up for 2017. Complete with a new Input Controller System, DX11 Graphics, Multiplayer and a easy to use In Game Track Editor. It's also now available in Mac and Linux versions too!
TRACK EDITOR and SHARING TO STEAM WORKSHOP:
With the new in game track editor, you can create anything you can imagine and then share your off road creations to the steam workshop with just one click. Build your local favorite race track or go crazy with a fantasy off road park.
There are over 200 different objects in the track editor to add to a track. Make sure to read the Track Editor Guide below to help you get going quickly.
COMMUNITY TRACKS:
To get more tracks from the community, simply subscribe to them in the D Series Workshop and then next time you restart your game they will be in your Community Tracks menu. Its that easy. Remember to like and share your favorite tracks and you can even create a collection of tracks that you think others will enjoy.
Since the track editor is brand new, it is going to take a little time for new community tracks to show up in the Workshop. Some ideas of tracks and maps that you can create are.... Monster Truck Venues, Rubicons, Rally stages, Closed Loop Racing Tracks, Drag Strip, Hillclimbs.... the possibilities are endless.
MULTIPLAYER:
This new 2017 version of D Series Off Road Driving Simulation also features a BETA 10 car Multiplayer. You can use any of the Default Tracks or even one of the community tracks from the Steam Workshop. If you do not have the correct or updated version of the track on your computer the game will warn you that there is a new version of that track and you can just restart your game and the track will update automatically. Please remember that the multiplayer is not fully finished and may change features at any time in the future.
WINCHING:
You can now use a winch in the Rock Crawling Vehicle. It will allow you to pass un climbable hills and obstacles. The cable on it is about 150-160ft long. (~47 Meters). You can only attach it to special winch spots and trees that the track designer has to include in the track editor. You can even click a "Winch Spots" button on the vehicles HUD and it will show the available winch spots with a bright blue glow.
HELP GUIDES:
The game now features four new Help Guides to help with controller setups, track creation, winching, washing vehicles etc.

![[/URL] This is the default controller mapping when you play with a standard XBOX360 controller. You can set the steering sensitivity by using the Steering Wheel calibrator in the ingame Options Menu. Center the steering stick and then click ok. Next move the stick about half way and then click next. You can try different mounts to get a different feel when driving with a XBOX controller. The default steering rotation is 720 or one rotation per left and right.](http://s1113.photobucket.com/user/devotiddesign/media/XBOX%20Default_zpsmiaoedwr.jpg.html]<img){kind=link}
![[/URL] I have uploaded a new patch to fix some controller issues and have also included a little "how to" below to help with getting wheels and pedals working properly for all custom setups. Build Notes: - Fixed bug on Track 03 that would not let you complete a "complete" race. - Added Logitech G25/G27 Default settings for the Force Feedback Version - Fixed some leaderboard and analytics settings - Added Track 06 track image on track menu How to setup custom Steering Wheels and pedals: The game is set up for the Logitech G25/G27 Steering wheel by default. If you only have the logitech wheel controller plugged in, the game should function without changes. If you have a different custom controller you can map the axis and buttons how you need for your specific controller setup. How to map an axis or button in the launch menu: 1) Click on the input tab in the launch menu. 2) Double click in the primary area of the setting that you would like to change. Then move the axis or push the button to "link" it. Press ESC to go back if you dont want to change or link. 3) It is highly recommended that you map the Throttle, Brake and Clutch axis AND the ThrottleInverted, BrakeInverted and ClutchInverted axis! To map the the "Inverted" Axis you have to scroll down a bit on the opening launch/config menu. Make sure to map them both! Because when you get into the game you can choose to use the "inverted" axis or the "regular" ones with a switch in the options menu. If you only map the "standard" ones and not the "inverted" ones and then try to use the "inverted switch" in the options menu it will not work correctly. You must map them both for the switch ingame to work. We do this because some pedals work from 0-1 and some work from 1-0. - Logitech Driving force, G25 and G27 usually use the regular Throttle, Brake and Clutch axis with the ingame invert Axis switches to OFF/Red - Thrustmaster Series Pedals usually use the ThrottleInverted, BrakeInverted and ClutchInverted axis with the ingame invert Axis switches to ON/Green - Until you know what way your pedal setup works just map them both so you can use the switch in the options menu. ;) Other Notes: - The Expo and and the Normalize switches in the options menu are MAINLY for the XBOX style of controller or joysticks. You shouldnt need them with most pedal setups. - You should be able to get your pedals working by just premapping them all in both regular and inverted with the above process and then using the ON/OFF invert switches in the options menu for each axis to make them function in the "right direction". - If you load the garage and the truck is reving "max throttle" you are prob using a different pedal set than a Logitech G25 or G27 and you need to change the switch in the options menu for each axis. (throttle, Brake and Clutch... also handbrake if you have an extra axis for one) - Dont forget that the Automatic Clutch (in car setup/Misc tab) is ON by default and will make the clutch appear to be stuck on in the lower right screen. It is ON by default so the car can switch gears without a clutch and wont stall. (not all pedal setups have a clutch). For a true simulation and to help when tuning your controllers configs make sure it is not ON. You will see the blue bar in the far lower right of the screen dissapear when it is OFF. Now the car will stall if it is in gear and the clutch is not pushed. - If you want to use the H Gate Shifter you must turn it on in the ingame options menu. - Also If you have an G25 style Sequential Shifter you must map that as well. - If you make a mistake while mapping an axis or button and you cannot delete it you can go to your C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DSERIES\Reg Edits Folder and double click on the ResetControllerConfig.reg file and it will reset all of your game to the "new and default settings". Continue through the warnings and then you can start over from scratch. If you have a specific problem, Feel free to email me direct at devotid@gmail.com and open a line of contact and I will do my best to get ya setup. :) Kevin](http://s1113.photobucket.com/user/devotiddesign/media/G27%20Default_zpsptsigb3h.jpg.html]<img){kind=link}
