Everything You see below is still work in progress.

We would like to thank everyone who contributed into development of Polish faction. More than 8 years have passed since its annoucement, we must thank to people who still haven't lost faith in us, without this great community we wouldn't have a reason to continue the production. Although it might look like faction is almost ready, having all assets in game brings more problems, especially for testers. Without some boilerplate talk, we have still lots to do so... see You in next couple of years!

We have no idea. Development might look slow because we are right now in queue, there is more to come for PR between present day and Polish faction release.

STAR trucks looks so fine it was a good decision to cancel STAR 266 from the design plan Can't wait to see more of your progress!

Keep up the good work!
