Yeah there's stories all over, Atari Inc (US) is concentrating on other things and have sold the licence for TDU to Infogrames who in fact are essentially owners of Atari Europe who own Eden Games who now own the TDU licence.

Hey guys I was messing around and driving like I owned the car and hated how you couldn't park the car up and then just switch the engine off, so I started messing around and so far I have it working for RWD cars, I'm guessing this as the same technique works for the 308GTS (the car I found it out in) and the Enzo Ferrari I have just tested. I will test out on other cars also and see if this works! BTW this turns your engine off and your car doesn't move, we all know the moving rear wheel method. :D [uPDATE//1] Unfortunately it does not work with 4WD cars so far, the back wheels keep moving sometimes even making you do extremely slow donuts. lol Seems that FWD don't like to stop spinning the rear wheels either, strange one this as when you hold the handbrake they spin and when you release they stop but the engine starts running again. hmm... Looks like it's RWD only guys. Tested out a 612 Scaglietti and it worked again!! [uPDATE //2] Your car will stop on dirt and gravel but it tends to bounce slightly on the spot, almost like loud music is being played. [uPDATE //3] Looks like I may have proven the Rturbo is RWD also. ;) ===================================================== How to: First of all you need to be in manual gearing. Typical method 1) Put your car into 3rd gear. 2) While holding brake, accelerate and when your RPM's hit about 500-700 (not 5000-7000!) shift down to 2nd and keep holding brake. Your engine should cut out. 3) Now while holding brake, hold handbrake. (make sure your car remains still at this point) 4) Release brake, then release handbrake. 5) Hold brake and now shift down into 1st. 6) The car should cut out and remain still in place. 7) Shift into neutral and rev to bring it back to life otherwise it will cut out on you as you switch gears. Ferrari 308GTS Ferrari Enzo RUF Rturbo Aston Martin DB9 Coupe Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Pagani Zonda Roadster High-gear method Some cars need to start in it's highest gear or at least 4th gear in order to stop completely at idle. However you will need to shift down into what usually becomes 3rd gear in order to keep the car completely still in place otherwise it will wobble about or the wheels will spin when you don't want them to.

Forgot to mention, there's no such thing as "grip racing", it's a stupid term drift muppet use or EA use to sound cool.

It's complete crap imo, it's not Need for Speed without exotics and cops, myself and many more who aren't 10 years old are sick of the abysmal tuner rubbish, Need for Speed died at Underground for me, bring back NFS Hot Pursuit, High Stakes, Hot Pursuit 2 then I might become interested but as of now it can rot for all I care.

Interesting company name that. lol

More than likely, I don't know what car to take though, plus I been looking through some old videos from e3 demo and some of the engine sounds and changes are really noticeable. Especially the starting up of the Murcielago and the ability to overrev the Shelby GT500.

I thought it was 183 letters?

Yeah you were but then we were waiting for you. lol

No it's actually cut short, the full word is: Lopadotemakhoselakhogaleokranioleipsanodrimypotrimmatosilphiokarabomelitokatakechymenokichlepikossyphophattoperisteralektryonoptokephalliokigklopeleiolagōiosiraiobaphētraganopterýgōn with no spaces! He's getting a new name shortly anyway. One more normal.

The actual word has been spaced out by the forum, join it all together then it should give you some results. ;)

No problem, are you on now?

I'll be on within 10mins.

I've done 250mph in a 575, how's that?

Week #8. SupermAnthony :: The dreaded nugget thread curse strikes again with SupermAnthony asking that why don't we add all nuggets to the first post and their reasons for becoming so. You know like we already do, like this in fact, duh! :o

Welcome Benson, good to have you onboard buddy. Just a quick note to let you know why he's been made a mod here, he is a good mate and also a fellow moderator of the Atari forums and I have been trying to get him over here for a good 8mins!! :D I'm sure he will be a valued asset of the team and I know this personally as his cheque cleared in time for his joining. :eek: :monkeydance:

Yeah that will be fine mate, I will be on later on than that probably but I will find you and hunt you down ....I mean conduct business with you.

Hey BensonforBeds, you made it mate! Cheers for singing up to the Sound of Music and for signing up buddy. If you are quite happy with me doing to you what I said *raises both eyebrows* then bark once and it will be done in a quick and clean manner *raises other eyebrow* :welcome:

Yeah the original title was demanding of an infraction though he changed it so that's cool. To be honest I'd be amazed if this thread with the current title got a lot of views. :oook:

You sure can mate, I will make Shelby into Eleanor and also get the figures on the Murcielago also. Well done on the win! Just to be clear, the auction ended at 11PM GMT so any bids after 22:59PM would not be counted. Sorry N1PPER mate.

I think Player Hash has learnt that one also. Congratulations!

I would need to check mate and ooh look at NIPPER going for the snipe!

How did you get the idea that was I anything but insane? As for the title yes it is verging on bannage but myself and my lover are alright with having a laugh as long as it's within the boundary of the rules.

How did you find the video!!

I will end this in 18mins at 11PM GMT. Chicken Nuggets

Eagle you just tried to outbid yourself mate. Bid is still at $4m.
