Hey Milli. Hello all the other old friends 🙂

Yes I've been away for so long. So many reasons made me disappear from here, life, work, depression, and so on. Plus I got bored with TDU's roads and I played too much competitive Sim Racing like GT Sport, Assetto Corsa and others... 

Thanks to you Milli, you've made an outstanding work here ! Absolutely mad ! You like many others (Djey, franks...) made me come back playing. I guess you never forget your first game crush. 

Been testing and playing for a while. No problem encountered yet since V1.00. I love that you've changed not only the cars but the general TDU experience. The race tour of the island is much better and somehow harder with a crazy fast AI that did a lap of 46mins30 with the F1 GTR. All is well and flawless. 

Just a little criticism: car sound wise a few cars don't sound right like I don't get why Lancia 037's 4 cylinder sound like BMW M1's Inline-6. Or some cars sound too similar like the Maserati's V8s and the Audi's V8s. So at the moment I'm looking inside my old massive TDU mods folder to see if I can get a few great sound to give a bit of variety and sense. If turboduck give me permission, I'll post a pack of sound mods for all the Platinium+Atari cars. But it's not all bad, you added some great sounds specially all the Supras. 

And why all the HUD's file names have "WHUD" ? In my tutorial I've name the SLS's HUD "WHUD" because they are 2 gauges mods for the SLS: one with a White HUD and one with a Black HUD. So I feel sorry for everyone putting the effort of naming their HUD "WHUD" 😂 You can give the bnk's name any names you like in reality 😉

So other than all that, BIG THANK YOU to you and all the community for this monster work. 😀

On a final note, I'm gonna help feed the wiki specially the "add cars slots" part.

Cheers ! See you on the road !

Guys, progress is happening, at slow pace, since i have even less free time, but TDU Platinum v2.0 (a.k.a former update 1.13 that grew enough to be called v2.0) is happening.

Also installed the Mod, and again i'm a  bit in TDU Fever. It's really nice work you've done here. Just did the Island Tour with my favorite Ford GT A0 (oh, ist A Class now ^^) in 43:16 ( is the track a bit different than original?). The traffic does some more strange behaviour than before, but hey..its tdu. Traffic was Always a mess in this game.

Was just playing a couple of Hours but its fun, because its tdu. I do not had any Problems like framedrops and Things.

Cheers

I know i can put any name i like, but when i followed the tutorial i did that way, and there wasn't any reason to change really. It was easy to understand which file is which.

Cap the FPS to 60 and traffic will be back to normal. You can do this with either RivaTuner or if you have a 60 Hz monitor, you can enable V-Sync from Project Paradise launcher.

As for the 4gb patch. That's a great idea, actually a while back, as an GTR2 player I thought the same thing, used it and left the game with AE86 sitting for a while. It still started to slow down but it took a bit longer to happen.

i think this would be a great idea to have the rwd huracan (and rwd huracan spyder) in the lambo dealership and have an upgrade preset for both for awd versions and especially the liberty walk huracan spyder (ik we have the lb coupe verson but not the spyder)

About AI, you mean the extra AI from the last update, right? Because I'm using the basic one and I'm finding it very easy to win races. Maybe is just because I'm using more OP cars than the competition, but I hope to find a bigger challenge with top categories.

 

About the sounds, I don't have mush complaints. Even if I don't know to what extent Milli can edit the mods. Because, in this case, I would keep reporting small inconsistencies and bug that I found in some cars.

 

EXAMPLE: The internal speed gauge on the BMW M3 E46 doesn't work properly, skyroketing over 300 km/h when I'm still ad 170 km/h.

-Always remember to make a backup of your game before you perform any modification.

- For existing profiles, it's recommended to sell your vehicles and stay only with an Alfa Romeo GT BEFORE you install TDU Platinum. 

- If you're not feeling like selling all vehicles, just drive off the house with an Alfa Romeo GT BEFORE you install TDU Platinum, but this method might crash your game once you check some vehicles in the garage.

  Q. Why does some vehicles display an absurd Top Speed?

That's because how TDU was codded. Sadly, to get the gear ratios to work as they should, you must set the car's Top Speed as the top gear speed. Which means, the maximum speed that the final gear could achieve, regardless of it's power or drag. Usually, vehicles that have an "Overdrive gear" will display absurd values, since the last gear is really long, with the porpouse of fuel saving.

 

Q. Ok, but why it is actually the Top Speed value is lower than the final gear speed?

That's because TDU, by standard, adds around 10% more top speed. So, if a car final gear speed is 330 km/h, if you set as 300 km/h, in-game the car will reach 330 km/h. Now, if you set 330 km/h, the car will actually be faster than it should, and will reach 363 km/h.

Deducting 10% of the speed makes not only the final gear accurate, but every gear will top at the correct speed, if your gear ratios are correct, which means the speed you need to shift will also be accurate.

Are game patches possible and might add some new cars? Because I wish if there will be cars that maybe added using patches, I would like to request the Audi RS7 Sportback... 🙂

I have problem with this race.. The game say it's for Amateur level and it require E Class car... but the problem is that race in reality is fitting for Expert/Champion level... Whenever which car I take (or BMW E36 or Mercedes (this off-road E class)) I am ending race with over 4 minutes + penalty.. when the time to get gold there is 3:25:00... Is there someone who completed that on gold? It would be possible to at least turn off that traffic to avoid catching into penalty for accident crashing with them? (Losing over 20 points few times means even 10-20 seconds extra penalty)

Hey guys, new account here, first of all want to say thanks to all the hero modders who contributed to Platinum.

I tried vanilla TDU a few years ago but ran into the problem where it never saved my profile. When I saw Platinum I decided to try again and this time it worked.

If you just started, work your way up to champion level to unlock hardcore mode, then drive no assist, manual. Also try that bmw m4 tune with the lewd waifu on the hood.

I definitely took a double-take and laughed at this. I'm an itasha fan but I didn't think you would actually sneak an itasha into the mod. And it is glorious. Pretty fucking sugoi.

What you have to do is cheese the event with the R34 Skyline GT-R with a Stage 3 tune. It might be the fastest car in the entire class even with all the Platinum cars. Initially I tried to play this game with a wheel and sequential shifter but after getting frustrated and looking up some YouTube videos, I switched to keyboard and manual + clutch. It still feels dirty playing a racing game with a keyboard when I have my wheel literally sitting next to my keyboard on my desk. That event was pretty ass, though. Might be one of the hardest events in the whole game?

I used a different OP E car, the upgraded Audi RS4. It beats most D cars in acceleration and can hold ~330 with ease. You just have to be careful as the handling is very limited due to understeer.

In the time trial race "A Serious Test of Car Control" I used an ITR DC2 with third upgrade, slowly maneuvering the lanes, going faster by cornering since it corners faster than its straight line top speed, and its a small car with very good and controllable handling allowing you to dodge traffic while maintaining speed, this gives me 3 secs before target time without damage penalty.

I won it with an R32 modded to tier 2 (or 3). It required several attemps, but in the end is very luck based and requires clean drive. Every 10 points of penalty equal to 1 second added to your time. If you push to the max avoiding crash and slowdowns, you can go well under the required time with an E class car. But you need a clean drive to not get to much penalty.

I ended it with less than 2 sec. of penalty and reaching the finish line 10 seconds before the set time. As I said, it requires many attemps and lots of luck, 'cause you need a lap where traffic doesn't spawn in key points of your cornering trajectory. And since traffic is random, no one knows how many attemps are required.
