Test Drive Unlimited 2: Community Patch

Forget about this update, I will try to publish another one when I'll have free time. (next week I hope...).

I'm enjoying the physics in hardcore, but I must say some of the cars brakes feel really underwhelming, most noticable at lower speeds when the braking effect should be much stronger. The handbrake on the other hand is now too strong and causes instant spins.

You the awesome modder community can do this in your free time, but the developers can't do this while it is their job and are being payed from our money, hilarious! Reinstalling TDU2 especially for the physics mod:D

[FreshAlbert]

Yippie! I was waiting for this!

[omartousson]

will this work online ?

[benchouska]

It works online, tested it.

[Nobby76]

I had a try with the new physics file last night ( i dont have the game unpacked so i can't try the rest yet ) and i have to say i wasn't really that impressed :sulk:

I tested using the zonda roadster, gumpert apollo sport and the mercedes clk 63.

I drive with hardcore mode so i know it wasnt any aids that interfered.

The majority of the driving felt exactly the same... i was half expecting the brakes to be a lot weaker but still if i used more than about 1/3rd brake pedal i still got wheel lock up. But by far the worst problem is the handbrake, guys that shouldn't have been messed with like that, its horrible. With the original physics file you could give the handbrake a quick tap and it would make the back end step out, or you could hold it for about half a second and would cause full wheel lock. Now, if you just look at the handbrake funny it spins out on you, its like the handbrake button now launches an anchor out the back of the car. Its not even a wide slide or anything like that, it spin almost on the spot.

 

My suggestions would be, Firstly... Whatever you did to the handbrake, undo it, the handbrake was fine before. What ever you did to the normal brakes do more of it or look how to tweak them a little better if possible, because i honestly didn't notice much difference. The world physics themselves seemed fine, not that much difference from the original file. Its really just the brakes that Must be looked at, the rest meh! maybe give it a little more of a tweak.

 

In all honesty. i tried the physics for about an hour, got fed up with them, reverted back to the original physics and managed to do a perfect drift out of a T junction.

Race up to the junction at about 80mph, swing it left, tap the handbrake, punch the throttle and opposite lock, then feather the throttle till its straight.. It went round perfectly.

 

So please... Have another look at the physics file, its really not right yet, id go as far as to say its problematic.

As i said i haven't been able to try the fixes you did in the patch, but from what ive read of them they look great. Keep up the hard work guys n girls.

Well, as I am sure you know, this isn't the final version of the Physics.cpr file. This was more sort of a demonstration what's possible and like I said in my thread (Wanted: Testers..), there isn't that much to be done with the Physics.cpr file. We are currently messing with the database files and that's where the real grip, downforce etc. values are stored. Most of the parameters in Physics.cpr file are old leftovers, because Eden decided to move most of the parameters somewhere else.

 

Thanks for the critique and I am sure I'll implement your suggestions on the next file, when I get working on it. :) And just to be sure, were you using the latest file Speeder uploaded? The one that was included in the patch wasn't the right file.

[Speeder]

To stop the confusion from players, I uploaded a version including the lastest Physics version but without the F430 and C8 Aileron.

I'll include the two cars in the v0.2 version.

;)

[patrikje]

^ Yes please add those special cars, especially the police cars since getting them ingame is impossible. And have you guys ever thought about the on/off brakes?

 

About the handling mod, is it me or is the suspension of the vehicles very stiff? Or are it just the über perfect roads of Ibiza without a single bump?

[tomsolo]

This pics below, not memory hacking this is an edited database result:

 

 

and seems possible editing all car stats, physics and handling parameters too...

[lewolfeur]

but what are difference with normal model and school model ?

good new for adding Dodge Charger SRT8 Police Ibiza. :)

so you can change physics and handling of r8 tronic for something better :think:

Your welcome, i know it might have sounded like i was having a bit of a bash at you guys, that wasn't intended by any means, i just kinda explain things in quite a frank and honest way.

Yeah i was using the latest physics file, i redownloaded it just in case i grabbed the older one the first time. But i hadn't, it felt the same in game.

 

The biggest difference you notice is in something like the nissan gtr or the Merc SL63 or anything thats quite grippy really. With the normal physics file you could approach a T junction at 60-80mph, swing in, pop the handbrake for a split second and as long as you can counter steer you can slide/drift around it fine. With the modded physics file you cant even do that at 50mph, it WILL just spin out on you..

 

Anyway, keep up the good work. One day we will have tdu2 as unlocked and moddable as tdu1 is. Then the game will get REALLY interesting.

[Blackheart_72]

Apologies for asking this but using this patch wont stop me going online will it, also I assume I still use it even if mine is the latest version.

 

New to PC gaming and since I have only just had the game I don't fancy getting banned.

 

Thanks

[Narwhal]

While we are on subject of 458,can you guys fix that ride height?

Also Range Rover HUD while using hood or bumper camera isn't accurate,so that should be fixed as well (if possible of course).

No problem of ban, since it doesn't edit any performances or adds hack to the game.

 

@Narwhal (narwhals, swimming in the ocean... :p): we can't edit the camera atm, but the 458 Ride can be fix.

Cheers fella, that's all I needed to know. :)

[Speeder]

Revisit the classic spot of TDU series! :D

 

The secret cave:

-- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) --

 

And of course, Eden Island:

-- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) --

 

Both spot will be unlocked in the v0.2 Community patch! :)

After spending some more time with the physics.cpr I switched back to sport mode and the main brakes are much more well behaved, I just don't use the handbrake and all is well.

The majority of cars (especially 4wd) still brake loose far too easily. It's like they all run on cheap remoulds made from bin-liners.

 

Ok I take it back, not all cars slide too easy, I was just trying to do the R8 delivery mission in the rain at the time.

great work

 

will this modification be integrated in the next version of the community patch?

[monako22]

Please tell me I'm here not long ago, but wanted to ask you whether to add on my forum, my mini-mod to correct the speedometer from the headlights: RANGE ROVER & GTS400? (trying to fix the speedometer Toureg) ..... sorry for my English - I'm from Ukraine , text without translation, I think you can not understand. The original text : Скажіть будь ласка я тут не давно, але хотів запитати додавати мені на форум, мій міні-мод на виправлення спідометрів від фар: RANGE ROVER & GTS400? (намагаюся виправити спідометр Toureg)
