Evel

Got myself a BlackBerry Bold 9780 recently, as the vibrate motor on my old phone died and I was interested in a good replacement phone anyways. Loving it so far :D

Looking forward to it :D

128. The Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series (I actually requested this car on TDUCk as a mod for TDU1 way back :bgroove:) 129. Blasting down a mountain road on Oahu in the Ferrari 430 Scuderia Spider 16M on a sunny day. One of my best gaming experiences ever, unbelievably good fun! 130. Cruising in the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster 722S. Epic cruise car, with plenty of punch to overtake any slow traffic cars in the way :p 131. Overtaking Ferrari Californias at the Ibiza racetrack in my Audi Q7 V12 TDI :D

I doubt that. You see, RUF is recognized, by government regulations, as a separate car brand from Porsche, as the only thing they really take from Porsche is the chassis and some of the bodywork, and they have no official ties with Porsche. As for Alpina, they have extremely close ties with BMW. Their cars are sold, through BMW dealerships, as "BMW Alpina" models, with a lot of the assembly occurring right on BMW's production lines. Unlike RUF, a lot of the parts are BMW-sourced too, including major drivetrain components, most of the bodywork, the interior, and the chassis. Because of these ties, Alpina models have to be approved by BMW before being put on the market. Most importantly however, the cars still feature BMW badges, the rights to which belong to BMW of course. Strictly speaking, it could be done with a couple of workarounds, but I don't see BMW liking the decision too much, and Alpina certainly wouldn't want to hurt their relations with them. It's not that I don't want BMWs in the game, I'd love to see them, as well as Porsches and Lamborghinis. But I'm almost certain it won't happen, not in TDU2 at least. However, perhaps EA's exclusive license will expire by the time the game's successor comes around (If there is one in the works).

Can I haz join? :D In-game name (TDU2): Evel

Thanks for the welcome everyone! :D The blog's called The Blog of Cars (Yes, a rather unimaginative name :p). Small little news blog which I run with a couple of other people, but I haven't been able to update it in the last couple of days. Hoping to get some work done on it either today or tomorrow though.

Hello TDU Central! Evel here, after an absence of... eh... has it really been over a year now? Good grief! I first joined this forum many moons ago, to download mods for TDU1, share pictures, and stuff like that. But then I got busy with a vast variety of other things: running my own little car blog, karting, school, etc. Then I heard about TDU2, and being a huge fan of the first game, I had to have a look. But again, being rather busy, it wasn't until a couple months until after the game came out that I actually managed to obtain it. In fact, I got it about two or three weeks ago. And despite its flaws, I love it. So I figured I may as well return to good old TDU Central. Looks like things have changed too. The new layout's lovely, and Diablo appears to have transformed into a spade :p Hopefully I'll be able to do some cruising and what not with you guys! :)

TDUPE doesn't work after installing this patch. It won't detect the database. Is this a compatibility issue or something I did wrong?

I believe the installer has a list of files it needs to install. If you rename the files without renaming the file names in the list, it will give you a critical error, as it can't find the appropriate files.
