TDU1 Navigation Challenge - Sat morning: 28 Jan 2012

[Ryzza5]

Saturday 28 Jan at 11:00am GMT (London). (10pm Melbourne).

 

The deal is simple, everyone meets up, locks together, then turns off the entire HUD (player name, speedo, and GPS).

Each person takes turns picking a place to race to. Usually it's a dealer or other notable building or landmark.

Then everyone races and picks their own route, trying to think ahead of time which way they will go while trying not to crash at 250kph+. It's very exciting stuff.

 

When you arrive at the destination you can turn your HUD back on to see how everyone else is doing, but just don't announce that you've arrived, as it keeps the suspense going for the others who are racing.

 

 

Example of good locations to race to:

 

Dealers:

Ferrari (inner or outer city)

Dodge Viper (east coast)

Aston Martin

Laborghini (middle and east of island)

Koenigsegg

Holden Efijy

Ducati

Kawasaki

Lexus

Pontiac

Audi

European Classic

Alfa Romeo

etc

 

Paint Shops

Deluxe paint shop

Waikiki paint shop

East and west coast paint shop

 

Other

House at the top of the crater near Waikiki

Vrent where the game starts near Airport

Entrance to O'ahu Raceway

O'ahu Police Station

Red Rabbit clothes shops

Observatories

Ford Island

Airports

 

 

If you have any more let me know or just say on the day. The idea is not to prepare in advance, takes the fun out of it.

 

 

 

Anyway, sign up below. Will decide car Groups on the day. Probably Group B or C.

I'll be there Ryzza :)

(R0b3rt-B0b3rt ingame)

[googlproxer]

Sounds like a lot of fun. New years eve doesn't work for me though.

If you have another or postpone it count me in :) (after the 5th of jan)

[superhyper]

I'm 99% sure to be there :)

[iNotACactus]

If anyone would be up for doing a console version of this I'll happily host that. I quite like this idea. :D

[Ryzza5]

1 hour 20 min warning reminder.

[CarboyZR1]

Me too, I just reinstalled TDU1 because I missed it; been a while since the last time I was on TDU-C

[Ryzza5]

Who wants to do this again on Saturday 21 Jan?

[CarboyZR1]

Depends what time tomorrow..btwI haven't unlocked HC mode yet but hopefully that's okay.

 

Are we using xFire or anything just in case something happens?

[Ryzza5]

Using Steam, not xfire. You should be able to unlock H mode between now and when it starts :) (but otherwise you might have to give us a head start) ;)

 

 

Time is in the first post, convert it to your timezone.

[CarboyZR1]

I might not be able to make it, but I'll try unlocking H mode anyway lol

[Ryzza5]

Rescheduled for t minus 2 weeks

[Dan G]

Can't do sat morning I work 9-1 sat morning at my new job :) Have fun though!

[Ryzza5]

Can do it on Sunday as well if you want.

[Dan G]

Yeah if you enjoy yourself saturday I'd be more than happy to join in on a repeat cruise sunday :)

[Mike_666]

This could be epic. Although I'll probably get lost after the first intersection. Either way, I'll be there!

 

Btw, I dont have H-mode unlocked yet either, will that be a problem?

 

Great idea though, +1 for more TDU1 cruises/events!

[Ryzza5]

You've got over a week to unlock it - more than enough time. ;)

 

Otherwise there's a unfair advantage as far as speed/handling is concerned.

Getting to championship level isn't that hard; rather it's boring..I got mid-way from pro-level to expert in two hours. I

[Mike_666]

Fair enough, I'll get to it one of these days.

[Ryzza5]

24 (and/or 48) hour warning. Would be nice to rustle up a few more challengers

[CarboyZR1]

I'm about half-way through expert level and pretty much if I get to championship within that time, I'll install Steam and let you know I'll be there :D

 

EDIT Ahh it was 10AM...thought it was 10PM...woops

[Mike_666]

I slept in on saturday and tried to connect at 10:30 GMT, servers were down. They were back up only a few hours later...shame, I'd really enjoy an organized event. Or just a cruise, anything really.

 

Maybe next weekend, if more people agree to come?

[Ryzza5]

Sure - I didn't bother showing up at all due to thread inactivity.

[CarboyZR1]

I can try again next weekend, but seeing that 10AM GMT is 5AM in Boston, I'm not making any promises

[Ryzza5]

Just be sure to post here ~10 mins before it starts so I know who is coming and so I don't forget ;)
