Test Drive Unlimited: Project Paradise [v0.03A PUBLIC BETA AVAILABLE!]

[cheapshades]

Hey! Thanks for working on Project Paradise! I'll try it out when I can accomplish a major overhaul on this PC (see system specs below). I did pass the word to another old cruise mate about this.

 

peace

Hey cheap! Long time no seen! Nice to see you still around :p

More fuel consumption would be nice. It seems to take ages to drain the tank at all. Also, what variables are affecting it at the moment?

[Dux]

Speed.

Faster you go, faster the fuel drains .

I was playing 5 mins ago cruising with my Vanquish, connected to some guys and it rested my car and it became an SLS (replaced mercedes slr). And I was driving the SLS and there was a shadow of Vanquish, like when you reset the car and its not fully visible.

This update is another improvement:

Thanks to my (soon to be replaced router) I cannot open my ports, but I am able to see more players on the map. Joining takes some time, but works.

Cruising was fun as usual:

Is that it? Would be nice if it could be linked to RPM as well/instead

[TIMELESS]

Agreed RPM x Speed would do the job.

More consumption? I don't know what you are doing, but usually it take me less than 100km to empty the tank, so a little less consumption would be nice. Once the tank even was empty after just 70km. Long cruising tours are impossible with that, except you only drive from gas station to gas station. So unfortunately I had to turn off the fuel option.

Maybe it's because I drive with keyboard and according to this I cannot adjust the throttle, it's only binary, 1 or 0, pedal-to-the-metal or nothing. So I always drive around with full throttle what maybe tells the fuel option to drain the tank in minimum time.

I assume NA cars use more fuel than FI ones?

Hi guys, do you have any idea why bigbnks is not working? I got the lastest version and bigbnks ticked before launch the game, but it is still crashing by a 3,2 MB file. Would be great if anybody could help me. thx

Well, I mean, if we want to go that far, I'm behind it.

 

Snip

 

I don't have much time to play, so I don't really get to do big massive drives like I used to. I do maybe 50km in a car, at the most, then switch to another. I see your point, though. Maybe it would be good as an option then?

Why i got lowered draw distance of grass if I enable HD option in launcher?

This. I drove the CLK-GTR and Edonis for a bit on high speeds and I thought my tank was punctured lol, so just drive faster :p

I wonder if it's possible (for those who lost their savegame) to have Hardcore mode unlocked with New profiles from 0% rather than 45%?

 

I've got some ideas for future releases . What about the introduction of hardcore mod (for those with lost savegames and not only) and engine temperature gauge ?

 

Well thanks to Project Paradise my little modification now makes sense. For those who are old players who lost their savegame and want to play HC mode from the start, it's possible. Of course you still have to get some cash going, buy some cars and get some roads unlocked. For those who want to repeat the game in HC mode, it's also possible now since Project Paradise enables HC mode in SP races, so thank you speeder and lean. :D [HCx] mod | turboduck forum

 

About fuel consumption, I used to worry about it all the time but now I don't even bother, it automatically spawns you to the gas station and re-spawns you to where you once were (like say if you were cruising with a group). Sure you have to play catch up but it only happens like every 20-30 mins. A little less fuel consumption would be nice.

Try amazon or your US eBay

*Solo Races (-races): enable Solo races in Hardcore Mode

 

Wait! What!?! Does this mean you can do the single player stuff that going HC used to prevent you doing?

 

Can you now do stuff like Tantalus in HC??

 

NB: Tantalus was the first SP race that sprang to mind, the chances of me completing it in HC are woefully slim

I have some questions concerning the G27 patch.

 

First: Is it possible to make the RPM lights more dependend on the actual RPM of the car and its max RPM? Because there are some cars which rev 8000 rpm and the red lights on the G27 are already on when you hit 6000 or 6500 rpm. Even wider is this gap when you're riding bikes.

 

Second: The first green lights sometimes do not turn off when you quit the game and your car was turned on before. Is that possible to fix?

 

But altogether it works great!

 

And it seems like that manual port forwarding and the deactivation of UPnP in the PP Launcher let me join others faster.

[Speeder]

It's already using the Rpm of the car so we can't do much. :D
