Car/bike clothes swapping exists from patch 1.68b iirc... No need to rename files, all changes are made into the database. Once clothes bought into proper shop, in home all kind of clothes are selectable for cars or bikes. Only limit is the helmet, which is not enabled when driving a car, that's hard coded.

Swimsuit is unfinished indeed, lack of a proper 3d model for the item results in invisible body parts.

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.

Everyone who cares about swimsuits are going to horny jail. Lol

Guess they decided not to code it once they realized that men swimsuits are more or less shorts and got worried they'd get bad reviews from feminists. I mean, I've seen a woman gaming journalist say the game was sexist 'cuz of the missions involving women characters. I guess she didn't notice the ones where you had to drive himbos to their destinations (or maybe they weren't enough undressed for her taste)!

If I am rembering right, that was the point.

Thanks! I have been playing TDU since the beginning, I built cockpits, h shifers and all this equipment for this game. Until today, at least once a week I get into the black F40 and drive like crazy ... Thank you very much for your work, I appreciate that you let me play this game like before 🙂

Use TDUF for that. Then it's trial and error. It's a little hard to learn, but when you do, it's easy as pie.

Time to re-discover the island of Oahu.

TDU Platinum pursue the objective to be more than a collection of many different mods in a pack, the objective is to deliver a whole new experience, a whole new way to play with endless possibilities to choose at your own demand, ready to go.

The work being done is beyond the gathering of different vehicles, sounds and gauges from different online websites and packing them together, it goes further to new physics, brand new weather, compatible with HDiR, new world textures and also new music for background and radio statios.

Without everyone, TDU Platinum wouldn't be anything more than a dream, so, all those people deserve a round of applause and we'll meet somewhere in Hawaii.

👍👍👍👍

-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.

 

Q. Why the car classes are broken and i have overpowered vehicles for it's class?

Because that was the easiest way i found to get these high-power tunes and keep the game "easily moddable".  TDU will only understand a car class change if it reads a new entry on the database. That being said, i would need 4 entries in the car database, for 1 single vehicle, 1 entry being it stock, and 1 new entry for each tune kit.  That means instead of 880 vehicles, i would need at least 3520.  Not to mention that if someone decides to modify that 1 vehicle, they will need to modify the tuning its aswell.  
That not only means it would take a long time, but that it would make the game much more complex to be modded, so i used the original upgrade system, that's based on % increase of the base vehicle, but sadly, it doesn't support class changes.

 

 Q. The traffic in my game is being glitchy and invisible, what do i do?

In the Project Paradise Laucher, make sure to enable V-Sync, to lock your fps to 60. The game won't do well with higher fps.

 

 Q. The game is displaying too much brightness, what i did wrong?

Usually the dealerships display a higher brightness than the road environment. But also, that could be caused by FX Tweak being enabled in Project Paradise Launcher. TDU Platinum weather system was developed to not require FX Tweak, if you enable it in the launcher, it may override the weather files.

 

 Q. The physics have been changed, but they seem the same?

That's because the physics engine is the same, but TDU allows each car to have their individual physics worked on, and that's what's been changed. To match real data, because TDU has messed it up even on the original game.

 

 Q. TDUPE is not working?

Yes it is, but unfortunately i've stumbled across an issue i thought i would have. This issue happens when the database has over a thousand entries, which is the case, since TDU Platinum's database has 1105 entries. So, to use TDUPE, you must follow these steps:

  • To run TDUPE, you must open it as admin.
  • Point your TDU database directory in the settings and click load.
  • Once it has loaded the database, search for the Custom Car you replaced in the car list.
  • Modify and Click save. (That is when the problem starts.)
  • Because TDUPE can't deal with more than 1000 entries in the database, it will make the game crash, to fix that issue, you must open TDU Modding Tools File Browser.
  • Extract the CarPhysicsData.db, located inside the DB.bnk.
  • Decrypt CarPhysicsData.db using TDU UT (this tool i did not provided, but it can be found on the forums)
  • Open it using notepad and set the number of "Items" as 1105, save and close.
  • Encrypt the file again, using TDU UT.
  • Replace the new CarPhysicsData.db inside the DB.bnk.

 

   Q. Do i need the game or this is a standalone game?

No! You need the game first, this is a mod and won't work on it's own.

Hello and thank you for bringing this awesome mod to us!!! 
I ran into an issue, all cars from the custom dealership show the same car with a vinyl strip over it. I reinstalled the mod a few times and I can't seem to get it to work properly. Besides that the mod runs flawlesly and without other issues.
Thanks again!!

I can't see any issue in what you're describing... If you don't plan using additional vehicle mods, don't bother using this dealership. The vehicles in it are just placeholders.

Really? I saw some other players had that same car model, that should be why. Thanks for letting me know so fast.

there is a "default car" (some call it a hot dog - orange yellow colors) which appears when other driver is using custom car model that you do not have, also maybe sometimes when they are not using Platinum pack but other car pack.

Btw. here is a tutorial for TDUF how to export car/physics for sharing with other player.

Guys, I'm playing the Platinum mod and I want to complete all the challenges but I can't finish the Triumph Day race.

The race ends with a long straight which I begin with fairly large advantage over the rest of the pack, but for some bizarre reason my bike seems to have arbitrary top speed limit kicking in there, leading to opponents catching up and overtaking before the finish line.

It's very unnerving and frustrating, especially since some vehicles are actually locked behind completing all challenges of each type. Does anybody have some solution or at least can confirm having the same issue?
