Hey guy, first of all I want to say this is an exquisite mod technically, a true marvel and how you were all able to fit so much content into a game that doesn't have the same modding community as something like a Nintendo game.

But my main concern is: Is there a way to remove specific cars from it? I tried looking up into the modding tools application that came packed in but it only lets me edit values and information, it doesn't actually let me remove a car, is there another tool in the pack that is able to do that? Or do I just have to prune the specific folders from the game files themselves? Thanks and have a great day/evening.

Just wondering why you'd need to remove some cars. Although that is technically possible, it's a complicated task which demands to remove any reference to the said cars in every part of the database... or prepare to apocalypse 

Just replacing car files and editing vehicle specs is a safer way to get different vehicles.

And about other parts of the database, only the mod pack creator has the full knowledge of all references. Tools haven't been made for this kind of tasks. I mean, the tools source code is available, but someone knowing how to code has to lean 'a bit' towards it before handling such edge cases.

Yeah I have TDUF open right now but it looks like spaghetti to me, I'm not really sure how to use it since I'm not very savvy at modding, which is really why I'm asking in the first place.

The whole atmosphere and "immersion" so to say, there's something really offputting about finding something like a Chiron in a game stylised in the mid 00's (or a Twingo), but I still sing my praises to the mod devs.

This is my main concern when messing with the mod, accidentally cutting something off that was crucial set by the creators.

Just take them out of the dealerships. In the TDUF, you have a dealership section, where you can see each car in each dealership. Just remove it from there. Car stays in-game, just not accessible.

Haven't been around here in some time, just wanted to say thank you for all the continued work and hoping that everything is going well.

Apologies for my "How to Install" video disappearing from YouTube. YouTube decided they weren't happy with some of the content being presented in the video as they felt it endorsed piracy, hence why the video got taken down. I still have the original video file saved and can trim it out to remove the likely offending parts, but the current linked video I feel does a better job of going into detail on installing the game.

Still out there, still playing and enjoying the game. Looking forward to what comes down the line.

I'm playing with a Xbox One Controller and the gas and brake triggers can only be mapped as buttons, not as analog triggers, any way to fix that?

Make sure you have d3d9.dll in the game folder.  Also, run the game via Project Paradise launcher.

[ThrowawayOkay]

Trying to get the game running on the PC I just finished building and whenever I change the resolution in windowed mode, the window size doesn't actually change. I have made sure and checked in the Project Paradise launcher that the windowed settings are unlocked. The unchanging window size means that the cursor doesn't actually go everywhere if you use a mouse.

Hi guys, i have a problem.
I think enb in platinum edition crashing my game (possible reason: two graphics cards).
    Notebook: Dell g7 7588   (8gb Ram    +    Intel i7 8750h (2.4 Ghz no turbo)    +    GTX1060 6gb Max-q edition)
Because game launch only with deleted d3d9.dll, but most of cars is invisible (cann't load).
In *.dmp file of crash: "0xC0000005"

In the past, i launch platinum mod 1.06 on another laptop and having fun.

You should read again what Milli's latest said above about d3d9.dll in the game's folder.

"Make sure you have d3d9.dll in the game folder.  Also, run the game via Project Paradise launcher."
The game does not want to work with "d3d9.dll". It tries to start, blinks the screen(in fullscreen mode) several times and crashes. In windowed mode, the game tries to start, but crashes on a black screen.
In *.dmp file of crash: "0xC0000005".

Are you ever touch the database file ?

I'll bet maybe your visual runtime ? Anti virus perhaps ?

[LuMiraWolfAngel]

that's right it was added with the platinum update but it doesn't have the right rims, it only has the base ford gt rims and the custom rims

I don't know what is going on, but game starts again. It's funny.   (switching options - i tried to switch anti-aliasing from 4x to 2x, cuz image is too smooth)

Honest Question, will it be fine if I run TDU at 75fps, I heard that its unstable but since I got a new 5700 XT and a 75 hz monitor, should I be fine?

Unlikely. You might experience traffic glitch.  TDU is old, and was not made to run above 60fps. Lol. For some reason.

Doesn't TDU have a 75 hz monitor selection? I haven't played the game in a long time

Anyone know which file the start sounds is, I don't like the sound of the Gran Turismo horns going off.
