Zane, you forgot to add Russian strings to this release.

Version 2 is ready:

Any news on the public beta?

Please make the headlights brighter. At night over rough terrain nothing is visible at all.
I made it for myself from the legacy version. Try it for comparison:

The strings need looking at in general. They're full of Pavel's 'engrish' and there seem to be typos from native English speakers too, which confuses me.

Or is it not British English, but it is American, Australian, or some other.
And maybe not earthly origin at all.

I can’t understand what kind of object -pole_a and pole_b  it is to attach a winch.

[oldman777 122]

Native English speakers , explain what the word "pole"?

I tried to attach the winch to all the poles - lighting, telegraph, electric. I didn’t succeed.

Pole - it should mean post, mast, perch... But since it's broken english, then maybe "pole" means "surface area" or radius?

[DeltΔV 134]

As a native speaker I have no idea what this means. Maybe trees, since they're the only things we can winch to.

[oldman777 122]

There is a “lamppole” in the same folder, and this is a lamp post. Based on this, I thought that the "pole" is just a pillar, without a lamp.

[oldman777 122]

I replaced the previously known object on the map with a “pole”. It turned out to be a pillar, as I had previously expected.
But winch still does not cling, although it is spelled out in this.

I don't want to sound rude but what do you mean by 'spelled out'?  Do you mean that it is visibly attached but doesn't actually pull the truck?

There is no attachment point on the pillar at all.

In legacy games versions point of the winch mount were only in tree models.  In this version of the game, winch attachment points were also added to the pillar model.

    <GameData>
		<WinchSocket Pos="(0; 0.844; 0)" />
	</GameData>

Nevertheless, attachment points did not appear on the pillars. I am tormented by the why question.

[DeltΔV 134]

I see. yes, that's weird. Maybe it was a planned feature that was abandoned?

In general, in English, the pictured item is known as a 'pole'

A 'pillar' would (generally) be something looking like these:

I am inclined to think that, too. Hopefully one of the developers will soon explain this riddle.

[oldman777 122]

I have only one Canyons DLC and in this version no rocks at all on map:

 

I added three folder manually dlc_rock (classes, meshes, textures ), and only after that it appeared:
