Dear all,
I’m happy to introduce you to the MAZ-500 Series pack for SpinTires: Mudrunner. The models and textures have been completely remade, new settings, animations and all the Mudrunner features added.
MAZ-504V – truck-tractor from the famous USSR MAZ-500 series. Truck has 4×2 wheel formula and high-power engine YAMZ-238. It’s a very powerful truck, but without torque of front axle, so using this truck on SpinTires offroad is not so easy. Remember that truck with no load is prone to slippage. Truck has pre-installed tractor and is only compatible with a list of semi-trailers (including part of those from MAZ-200 Series mod , and default semi-trailers).
MAZ-509A – truck from the same series, but this version has a longer base, 4×4 wheel formula and YaMZ-236 engine. This truck was specially designed for log transporting and has very good off-road capabilities. Truck has pre-installed log cart and can work with 3 types of log trailers. Can tow default cart trailers.
MAZ-515B – another truck from 500-series, with 6×4 wheel formula, powerfull engine (YaMZ-238). Atually, this truck is kind of combination of MAZ-514/515/516. That’s why It`s the most functional truck from this pack, with the biggest choice of addons.
This pack has many addons specially designed for it. Trucks have their own sound, a lot of animations and all Mudrunner features. You can deliver 2-3-4 or 6 log points, using log cart (509) with long log trailer (the steering and the folding ones) or medium log trailer (the steering one), set of semi-trailers (for 504/515), carriage and carriage with crane (for 515). Besides, there are trailer carts on MAZ-8926 chassis available for 515 truck: carriage, utility, garage parts, and cistern.
I’d like to give credit to Kirykha for his MAZ-504 mod for FS2013 on which my very first MAZ-500 for SpinTires was based, and some elements of which can still be found in the present models. Big thanks to "Так сойдет" team for their constructive citicism, ideas and advice. Special thanks to Psix19Rus for the MAZ-8926 chassis 3D-model used in the trailer carts pack. And huge thanks to you, dear players, who loved the previous MAZ-500 Series pack so much that it inspired me to completely redesign it and add it to Spintires: Mudrunner.
