Steering
With offroad cars that have the 4L Locked or 6L Locked drivetrain options, the steering capabilities is extremely limited as soon as you lock the front wheels, Also the force feedback is getting extremely heavy when you activate 6L Locked mode.
Anyone know a fix for this?
If not, see this as a bug report / improvment point for the dev.
Also, love the new and updated road textures with the new potholes on them. Amazing artstyle and level of detail!

No idea for the force feedback.

In reality, when you lock differentials, you can hardly steer -> its a feature, not a bug. As i never mentioned it myself, you probably drive to fast for this. Locking differential is meant for slowly creep through mud / over steep hills.
I noticed it in coal runs, and yes it is a feature. In most cases, you can use the 4L/6L/4L-lock to go through the U turns, these modes provides enough traction as the 6L-lock.
The FFB would be heavier when the front axle is locked because it's trying to force itself straight.

Explanation: When you have an unlocked differential, both wheels turn at different speeds (the inside one slower) while cornering. Because you locked it, the wheels both move at the same speed and so a turn is very hard, since the inside wheel is fighting to move faster than it should for a turn. The only reason it turns at all with a locked diff is because both wheels are clawing at the ground as you keep them angled, dragging the truck to the side slowly. However, it's also trying to force the wheels straight at the same time, so your FFB is heavier.

Turn off the front axle lock while turning, and you should be fine.
