[VPrelec]

Hello guys, I tried Impala SS and the car with level 3 tune really shouldn't be in class F.

To make the car change it's class, a new entry must be added in the database. That means for each vehicle, i would need at least 4 different database entries for the same vehicle. When someone edits the Impala, the person would need to edit all these 4 entries individually, instead of just one. 

Modify the vehicle is not required for game completion, they exist mostly for free roam drives, and to easy up races.

Problem with Project Paradise. I have no clue why it happens and how to fix it.

I get constant 1-second freezes everywhere, anyone knows how to fix it? It didn't happen until I bought the Honda NSX and started trying the Car Control time trial...

Try the 4gb Executables inside the patch. It solves my freeze problem

I have. Also deleted my old profile and started anew, no dice. The freezes seem to happen most often when radio activates/changes stations/tracks/does anything.

If I had to guess, which I am a bit, that sounds like one of three things:
You have a radio mod and the song files are very large and the game struggles with decoding them fast enough.
There is an issue with either your core game install or your Platinum install that isn't quite bad enough to cause a crash.
Your running low on CPU resources or RAM.

These are just guesses from experience, so mileage may vary here. With the 4gb exes the only freezes I get are a very momentary one when I leave a house for the first time in a session, when a large number of players enter my session at once, and right before the game eats glue and CTDs. (It happens sometimes)

Nope, just tested. It's fine.

[Pep12]

Sorry guys I have a question (maybe this question has already been asked so this could be a repost... in that case I'm sorry) but this mod should contain 882 vehicles but I have traveled all the car and bike dealers of the island and I have counted "only" 412 vehicles... so the question is: where are the missing 470 vehicles???

So IDK why but some of the cars' IK has changed to "Default Bike" itself when I open TDUF and TDU modding tool (just changing some performance figure and not messing other things)

 

And also the Centenario's driver has a weird head position(his body and hands are fine)

Some cars are hidden in their tuning shop. For example, when you get a SL65 into the tuning shop, you can "tune" it to become a SL65 Black Series

Okok I got it... and is there a list of these kind of vehicles???

That's the fun stuff. There's no list. It's meant for everyone to discover all the rest of the cars. 

But there is a way to find " a list". I will not tell anyone though cause I'm not here to spoil

Yes, i have it. There is a way to find, as @Tob-Racer mentioned aswell, and there is the third way, which is you guys organize yourselves to make a list. Can it be here in the forums, on this thread or on another thread.  Nothing is stopping you guys to actually make one.  lol

I do have a radio mod installed since it's bundled with the Platinum mod.
I have an i5 6600k overclocked to 4.6 ghz and 16GB of RAM. If that's not enough, that's some bad optimization.

Does anyone know whatt the deal with the fps just randomly tanking to unplayable FPS outta nowhere?

[RageNClear]

hey, the Pagani vehicles' shadows are flickering. I've tried changing graphic tweaks in the launcher and in the video settings in-game but no solutions was found.

Do you guys know what the problem is?

Are you using the 4gb executables? Some cars had issues with dropping the FPS before 1.04. The 4gb .exe's from 1.04+ should help with this (In the extras folder of the update files). This issue might be caused by the car you're driving.

It is not "Necessary", it is recommended though.  What i suggest is that you take the Alfa GT out, and save the game. Then you install the mod. That way when you load up the profile, it won't risk to crash as soon as it loads up. 

Now, the risk of that some cars that you had previously don't work correctly, is there. So, do it at your own risk. 

Edit: Also, if you really don't want to lose your vehicles, make a backup of the profiles, so you can pop them back in case you want to play original TDU again. Like, 2 different TDU installations in different folders...

I installed Platinum last night using the following method.

Sell duplicate cars, make second backup while saved driving Alfa GT. Installed Platinum, loaded OK, all good.

Retained bank balance, retained houses and all the cars left in game not modified. Gained a few new cars that must have replaced the old ones, lost a few modded cars but I can live with that.

Went straight out and bought a Transit Van  love it. Hate driving with a pad so the G27 is coming out and i'm off for a hoon.

Once again my thanks to Milli and the team who have kept this alive, love you guys.

Why did I make my first purchase a transit? Because this is my daily transport. 

 

EDIT - I bought the RS1600 mk1 Escort. In standard trim the 4 gears and suspension roll are fine. At 3rd stage tuning on one of these it would have 5 gears using a type 9 ford gearbox and would also have much stiffer suspension, better anti roll bars so body roll would be greatly reduced. Understeer would also be minimised, at the moment it's a bit too light at the front. - I'm only nit picking because I've driven one and know how they handle quite well. I do still love the fact there is an original RS in this game.

Hey guys unrelated to the mod.  Would anyone be able to tell me where Pablo is for the courier mission.  I can't seem to find him.

To make it have a stiffer suspension and 5-speed gearbox, i would need to create another entry in the database.  But that is not really how TDU tuning works, they work with % upgrades of the "base" car, unless you change the base car, by making it use another database entry. 

That means even though they look the same, there will be 2 entries in the database for it. So if you edit the stock one, you will need to edit the other one aswell.
