The definitive online mod for Test Drive Unlimited 2 is launching as open beta. Bringing back all online functionality and improving on the original systems of TDU2 to create the ultimate online experience.

The Crew Motorfest announced - Welcome back to O'ahu!

After growing rumour and speculation, Ubisoft's Ivory Tower studio revealed their 3rd game in The Crew series.  First planned as an expansion to The Crew 2, the project has grown large enough to warrant a full title release...

New Roads Project (Wip) Mountain Pass: Adds one of the new roads from TDU2 to TDU1.

Installation:
Extract the two .rars into your TDU Install directory. Let it overwrite the Bnk files.

 
 

This guide aims to provide the basic "know-how" to get started with map modding for TDU 1. This guide is primarily aimed at SHKR(Havok road physics) and HMAP(Heightmap). Stuff such as Objects and textures will come later. This guide also comes with a .Blend file that has everything you need in the right format. The mod also includes a macro that allows the converting process to be possible AND can be done by anybody quickly.

-> TDU Platinum Dealer Updates <- 01 - US Independents Dealership Update
Good news! 

I've been thinking about this for a while, and i finally decided to do it so.  Everyone knows that Platinum 2.0 is under development, at a really not desired pace, but moving nonetheless, also, what not everyone knows is my progress schedule. I am working a dealer at a time, so i decided, why not release small updates once i finish these dealers? 

This way, you guys not only will be able to follow my progress closely, how will also be able to enjoy new things without massive waiting times. Although, not everything is good, and there are compromises.  One of them is, these updates are not cumulative and not single picked downloads, if you skip one, the next one might cause bugs and crash your game, so, download all of them and keep yourself up to date! 

I mean, if you haven't downloaded and installed update 01, the following update (02), won't work. You will need to download 01, and 02, install both. 

Another compromise, if you edit the database of the game, your personal changes will not be carried over.

 

Now, keeping that in mind, download it and have fun. 
-> How to install <-

Just replace the files in the according folders. 


-> 01 - US Independents Update Content <- 

- Updated Shelby Series 1 with stripeless variation added as a tune
- Updated Saleen S7 Twin Turbo and Saleen S7 Twin Turbo Competition with fixed gauges and new tailight texture
- Updated SSC Ultimate Aero with fixed shadows, new tailight texture, paintable interior and GPS screen

A brief interview with Alain Jarniou (Creative Director at KT Racing) was published by thesixthaxis.com:

https://www.thesixthaxis.com/2022/10/04/test-drive-unlimited-solar-crown-preview-interview-with-kt-racing-alain-jarniou/

 

The interview does not drop any bombshells but does reflect on Alain's past passion projects (TDU 1 and 2) and reveals that despite the 1:1 map scale, tweaks and adjustments will be made to the game world to suit the types of driving and racing we all expect without getting stuck in traffic jams on very narrow roads.  Alain reassures us that the game is more than just racing, but about car appreciation and enjoyment of (virtual) ownership.

TDU Solar Crown remains slated for a release date sometime in 2023.

Continuing on from our previously announced site changes and merger with TDU World, we have more updates to TurboDuck.net to announce:

We'd like to warmly welcome everyone from the TDU World community to TurboDuck.net!

The TDU World community forums have been merged with the TurboDuck.net forums this weekend.  This includes topics, posts, users, notifications, private messages, attachments, avatars, status, warnings, reputations, follows, likes, tags... you get the idea. 

Today, we got the announcement that TDU3, or better said, Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown is actually a thing. It's not a rumor anymore! TDU is back on the field!

It was announced today, at Nacon Connection livestream, their first live event they did, it featured a couple of games they are working on, but really, what we all have been waiting for was some news for TDU3. And we got it in a form of a teaser and information presented by Alain Jarniou, Creative Director at KT Racing Studio and a former TDU1 and TDU2 dev.  Anyways, enough talk, here are the videos: 
 


This is the whole presentation of TDU Solar Crown. 


So, are you excited? Let us know your opinions, ideas, discussion and give a go at guessing the cars that appear here in this thread. All i know is that i'm loving that Lamborghini Diablo! 

 

Summery:

This mod replaces an empty island off the coast on the east side of Oahu. This mod adds a new racetrack(Not based in RL) Complete with rumble strips, starting-line, Pole position.

This map is a bit smaller than Surfer's island but much more detailed, and more convenient as you can drive there via two bridges.  

Download section enhancement

The goal here is to have a simplified layout that's organized and easy to access, instead of digging through multiple sections to find and/or post content.

* Forum categories now have been restructured to match file categories.
Topic creation has been disabled on all mod post forums. Instead, please submit your file through our download section.
You can choose to upload files to our server or submit a link.

* All topics that were moved now have tags referring to their previous sub-forum (i.e. interior, sound, physics).
We recommend you make use of the tagging system, which helps others discover your content.

This is a simple Reshade* preset for Project Paradise Multiplayer, It was not possible to have them both if you have newer Windows 10 OS but now it is!!**

Setup

Just move the files to where the actual game executable file is. You need to install Project Paradise first!

______________________________

* ReShade is a freeware for modifying shaders more about this tool is available here

** This mod was possible with the files from ThirteenAG, and the guide from here, As well as the files from Project Paradise.
