Wow quite a hit on this M3.

Slight update:

No problem and welcome to the board! Check out the TDU FAQ in the TDU - General portion of the forum to see a very extensive well FAQ about the game and also a HUGE map showing where everything is.

You need to be a Champion in order to unlock Oahu Raceway which is situated just below the main airport.

Hey boyzroks, to get online on the PS2 you first need to make sure your console can connect to the Internet. If you have the slimstyle PS2 then all you need is the cable to connect it to your modem/router. If you have the original version then you will need to purchase a Network Adaptor. This device attaches to the back of your PS2 and then again all you do is use a cable and plug it into your internet connection. Then just pop up your PSN CD and follow the instructions and that's you sorted. Welcome to the boards and thanks for joining!

Correct, in fact the 599 GTB was originally in that leaked DLC list.

The Ferrari Licence doesn't limit you to any amount of models that is why it costs so much, you can't say right we want to buy the rights to licence the F599, F430 and F40 for our game as basically it's the full licence or nothing. Then it's upto the developer to create the models, sounds and physics for that model if they like.

hey there jambo welcome to TDUc mate, seen you over on the official boards so thanks for signing up. :welcome:

Keep checking the Official GT5 Prologue site for more info, screens and videos: http://www.gran-turismo.com/jp/gt5p/ [uPDATE #2] First unofficial incar pic: Also been said the GT5:P will have 40 cars Damn, the PD boys really surprised with this one: Wow major update !! 16 cars on track !! -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) -- -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) -- New video also !! http://www.gran-turismo.com/jp/movie/d944.html Oh my god, racing against 16cars, I guess PD pulled it out the bag, if they get the collision and off track collisions more realistic then damage could well be excused but I would personally still prefer it !! Link to new screenshots: http://www.gran-turismo.com/jp/gt5p/screen/ Oh yeah GT5 Prologue in October too !! Information too much.

At this moment in time I would say bad idea and personally would recommend the Xbox 360 instead. You see the PS3 isn't going to shine until next year with titles like GT5, Metal Gear Solid 5, Killzone 2, Lair, Final Fantasy XIII (redux) as well as many more. Good luck with it if you do go for it but I am personally waiting till next year before I consider one.

Jon this board is a fan community and has only been going about 5 months. In regards to your points though I know that with the release of the patch that activity is at a peak and unfortunately it seems to be those who have problems who are the most vocal and that's quite understandable, as the wait hasn't been worth it to them and this is why we are asking for your feedback. At the moment all the feedback (as well as general hate) is going on at Atari's official boards and why not as they are the source and as I said we are just mainly a community who enjoy this game. In regards to your second point, with a board like this most of the conversation is going to be about the game, games, cars and usually anything related to cars. Of course the General chat section encourages off-topic conversation and there are clear examples of this going on but as I said we are mainly small right now compared to what you would call an active community. The third point I can't say much about as I don't really play games on my PC being as it is my workstation, though that's not too say I haven't seen the attention and respect that it appears not to be given to the PC crowd. As a mod at the Atari Europe board I see some of the behind the scenes talk and such and I can tell you it's more active than you think, there's just so many departments, quality control and testing (you may laugh but it's true) but unfortunately inevitably there's always an issue with something. I'm not excusing what's been happening but I have seen that it's not the "sit on your hands and wait" or "lazy workers/developers/coders" approach that most people seem to have of Atari and Eden Games. Now please let's keep this on topic, if the game has problems for you or is now running please post a description and of course your specifications, anything that can make this game improve and work better for more people and configurations would be great, as even if you don't like to admit it, this game is good, it just unfortunately has some serious issues for some. Thanks.

Direct link added now also, as usual all new info in the first post.

Hey there, as most people now know the patch is finally released and it seems that as always there's the good, but of course you can't have the good without the bad, so if you are experiencing any issues or problems can you please post them here with a small description of what exactly is or isn't happening in your game as well as your system specs, attaching a DXDiag may be even better. Please keep your posts civil and constructive and let's see if we can get a good list together and help this game be the title it deserves to be. Thanks!

Sorry to hear that Celt. I'm going to post a new thread for Patch feedback so if you could post your issue in there and also elaborate on what wheel and also what the issue is as well as your system specs it would be great! Cheers.

Hi there MadGamer, welcome to TDUc, check out the TDU - General section for a FAQ with a huge map of all the locations and such which should help you get your bikes quicker.

Confirmation and Quote now added to the first post. :)

Hi there I have just had it confirmed that it is the actual patch, I'll have a quote for you hopefully. The euro boards were taken offline to allow for more traffic for download.

Yeah I'm adding a note now, but remember the member who said 1.86, we weren't sure if he was an Official rep of Atari or Eden. I'm going to email The_Mole and see if I can find out anything about this. Thanks. If you wish to wait for Official confirmation then please do so.

The patch is released and confirmed!! [TDU PC Patch #1 Download Info] [Direct download from TDU Central]

Not sure if this is officially the one but it is a ZIP as stated though it says 1.66 so who knows ! http://www.testdriveunlimited.com/community/index_pc.php?pg=news_detail&id=4

It's just hit 3PM now, not confirmed yet but a member called Ditress has said the patch will be 1.86 and should be up within 10-30mins.

In under an hour, how's that for you? ;) UK is BST which is 1 hour extra than usual GMT, thus we are currently GMT+1. That make sense?

Update in first post.

As far as I know that is not it, I will be sure to let you all know when the actual patch goes up.

Was looking for some good Nürburgring videos and came across this site full of some of the best videos I've ever seen and in very High Quality too. The sound, the driving and the racing is just phenomenal and damn close at times. renn.tv Download link renn.tv youtube vids
