The list of cars available in this mod are phenomenal, but a lot of the specs are a complete **** up. The stock Ford GT now does 419km/h (just one of many examples)? One or several of the devs behind this mod went full moron-mode and pulled speeds out their backsides. If these got corrected to the proper stats, then this mod would be perfect. 

This guy, geez... You could've simply went for a test drive to realize that their performance are actually correct, just their stats on paper are wrong (explained in FAQ), but no. Went straight to rage on it. "Full moron-mode" it is I guess 

[ThrowawayOkay]

The mod looks easy enough to install (Never played TDU myself before) but how do I unzip the 1.12 patch? I downloaded all three files but when I try to unzip the archive it gives me an error saying "The same volume can not be used as the source and destination". If I unzip the file to a partition the archive isn't on this doesn't happen, but it then instructs me to "insert disk 1 of 3" and I have no idea what to do at that point. And what am I supposed to do with the .z01 and .z02 files? Am I supposed to rejoin all these files together?

 

EDIT: Okay, tried unzipping the archive with 7-Zip instead of the Windows shell and it works fine. But what am I supposed to do with the .z01 and .z02 files?

You just unzip the zip, its contents get to the destination anyway.

Yeah, I did. I was just wondering what I do with the .z01 and .z02 files. I was able to recombine them in 7-Zip but they seem to contain all the same files as the other zip file.

That's the thing, they're linked to the zip, so when you extract the zip it also goes over those 2 on its own.

Okay, cool. Since then I've managed to get Platinum up and running properly so it's all good.

Boa noite Milli, como você conseguiu adicionar mais carros no Tdu Platinum e também, como você conseguiu modificar algumas corridas?

E como conseguiu substituir os carros que tem que serem entregues?

Exemplo: você trocou o CCX pelo Carrera GT...

Hello guys, I'm new here.

Some years ago I tried Gold Edition, and I liked the whole ecosystem of the game. I wish to get back into it, but I don't have a wheel nor I don't like to hangout with keyboard.

So, I wondered why PC version doesn't have XInput (I own a wired 360 controller)? I mean, there's a 360 version of TDU. Is that pretty hard to even create a tweak to port that whole support to the PC version, so I couldn't see anyone for years?

I think I'll have to choose TDU2 instead. Out of it, you made a pretty nice work with Platinum.

There's a claim of over 880 vehicles added, and I get that the list provided in the post stipulates 470 cars are hidden from the list, but from what I understand the hidden vehicles is referring to the special tuning options available. So technically, it's kind of a bs thing to say 880 cars when that's not actually the case. It builds up a false anticipation and personally a big middle finger to the players imo.

What's wrong with you? Come on you clever guy, tell us stupids how to include so many cars with indeed 470 car limit ingame and without detour of using tuning shops for including? You should go on to Pokemons or other bullshit, bye.

Check out the other TDU builds with more cars.. they should also have more things to complain about as well, so it should suit your needs better.

[xxsad]

How do I add new cars without replacing others?

Have you realized that the only posts you made were actually to complain about something?

What is your goal with them? What do you want to achieve? I am genuinely curious to know it.

TDU1 work with controller just fine. I use a PS3 controller that my laptop thinks it's an Xbox one.

What?

Xbox pads are well supported in TDU1 on PC. Check your Windows install and updates, because something is not properly configured I guess...

Most Troll-esque post of 2022, thanks for the laugh. Have fun!

Some car have a weird shadow, how to fix that?

You cannot, only the modder can do.

I have TDU Gold as one package. 1.66A I think. Will this run or do i need to get a different version?

It works. If you run into any issues check the Troubleshooting FAQ.

Uhm, what I mean is an entire XInput support:

- Proper Z-axis behavior (simultaneous response between - and + unlike DirectInput)

- Deadzone improvements or advanced settings (at least in binaries). There's practically zero, wich makes car steer by itself when joystics drift.

- Force feedback and Rumbling

- XBOX 360 GUI prompts (optional but convenient)

That's what I'm talking about. I know there is a certain support for controllers, but it's sort of clunky, at least for the 360 one. Just can't enjoy the game like that, and I see it unfair from Eden Games, since they could import that whole XInput optimization from the 360 version.

Slow pace, but at least things are being done. 

[Homelander]

Nice!

Are you gonna fix the odometers/tachymeters completly wrong for a bunch of cars in your update?

Like TDU's speed displays 150 KM/H and onboard odometer displays 120 or 165..., same thing for RPM, but this also depends on the view, some view display correct RPM/speed, some others not. Most of the cars have wrong display in cockpit view and for experience/pleasure, I would like to look at cockpit speed rather than TDU's digital speed in the right. Feel more fun/juicy to look the onboard needle rising rather than the digit on right.

Or max RPM (rev limiter) of some tachymeters wrong (488 Pista to 9000 while it is 8000 [& in board last red led not showing], 458 Italia Spider to 8000 while it is 9000, etc.).

Not all the cars might need a rework, at least, the ones where we badly see the speed/rpm in cockpit view can be skipped (or not "fixed in emergency"), but the others, it will be nice.

Hey, love the mod! Just wondering is it true that the mod is done with updates or are you still working on new vehicles and stuff?

No. I do plan on releasing it before 2048. As i said many times, some issues foes not worth the time they demand to be fixed.

For me this has some importance level about realism but so be it.

Yeah it will be nice to have it "much more sooner" than that, however we will have to hunt you & torture you with a Meellee weapon! Hahahahaha!

Trust me, as a person that's trying to help her with it, I can confirm that it's very time consuming. Even on my own mods I didn't get the dials to work correctly. I will update them sometime with new fixes and what not but doing it for each and every single car with that problem on top of what's already planned would be tough.

I would suggest trying it out yourself. If there were more people helping her maybe we could get it done.
