  1. Well, as I am sure you know, this isn't the final version of the Physics.cpr file. This was more sort of a demonstration what's possible and like I said in my thread (Wanted: Testers..), there isn't that much to be done with the Physics.cpr file. We are currently messing with the database files and that's where the real grip, downforce etc. values are stored. Most of the parameters in Physics.cpr file are old leftovers, because Eden decided to move most of the parameters somewhere else.

     

    Thanks for the critique and I am sure I'll implement your suggestions on the next file, when I get working on it. :) And just to be sure, were you using the latest file Speeder uploaded? The one that was included in the patch wasn't the right file.

  2. I think these physics parameters in .cpr file works only in a tight interval, because this is just a little part for handling/physics.

     

    Some (hidden) options it's possible enabling or disabling, if use a patched the exe, but don't expect too much. (Eg. fully off ABS or traction control - but this is just nulled value, not to a fully function)

     

    I made some crazy tests - swap differential values, driving type control functions (rear/front), or pacejka files, but there was not much difference (max. rather strange :P).

     

    Another thing: if we made a better, realistic handling or physics, i think this will be slower as currently model (eg. distance of brakes).

     

    #Edit: I read back and sounded negative, but this was not the goal. :)

     

    Yeah, they only work in a tight interval. :( And yes, the realistic model might be slower or at least the brakes will be worse, because then they will be more realistic.

     

    It's also possible to similarly disable TC and ABS in the Physics.cpr file just by putting the "activation" value to something like "900" so the car will never reach that speed and they will never activate, I have tested this.

     

    I am currently trying some values with gravity and I also reduced the annoying "steering angle limiter" which limits the angle of your turning the faster you go.

     

    Would be nice if you could contact me about the options that are possible with .exe patching, so that I could try some of those. :)

  3. Hello everyone,

     

    As you may have spotted from the Community Patch thread, I am working on the patch with Speeder.

    Now, I need your help. I am currently modifying the Physics.cpr file and I need some testers. I need opinions, information and results.

     

    Things I have fixed/improved with the Physics.cpr file:

     

    • Fixed the locking brakes
    • Reduced the braking power (so it's not like you "hit a wall" when braking)
    • Found the possibility to remove the ABS completely (if someone wants to experience the older cars properly etc.)
    • Improved the handbrake
    • Messed with the traction control parameters (it's possible to make the handling more realistic and reduce the amount of sudden spins etc.)
    • Messed with the gravity values to decrease the "moon gravity" effect
    • Removed/reduced some "Steering help" parameters

    It can also be possible to mess with the force feedback values in another file but I haven't looked at that yet.

     

     

    Preparing for the testing is easy, the version of your game doesn't matter, this works perfectly online & offline and there is no need to unpack your game. Custom launcher must be used, because otherwise it would replace the modified file with the original. The file you must replace (Physics.cpr) is located in the root of your TDU2 directory.

     

    If someone wants to test some of these changes and help me improve them and make some new ones, raise your hand! ;)

  4. Yup, and if I may explain this more thoroughly, the ID we are looking for is "ProductGUID". You can download x360ce from here: http://code.google.com/p/x360ce/downloads/list. Then you must connect your unsupported wheel/device and run the "x360ce.exe".

     

    Look for a tab with your device's name on it and click that. From there you can find the ID we need. The ID should look similar to this: "ca03046d-0000-0000-0000-504944564944" That's the ID of my Logitech Momo Racing (black), which isn't supported in TDU2 by default (it works now ;)).

     

    And if you are wondering, the older Logitech Momo Force (red) wheel is supported by default, but not this newer, black one, so we had to make the modifications.

     

    When you have found the ID, you can PM it to me or Speeder and we will try to make it compatible with TDU2. :)

  5. Hey, I can see on the "friend request send list" my name "Viltsua". I do not have the game yet, it should arrive probably tomorrow. So is it just another player named "Viltsua" that you have sent the invite? Or something else?

     

    And sorry that I am little "late" with my game. :)

  6. well the video on youtube still says video unavailable:(

     

    *getting depressed:cry:

     

     

    I used the link I posted, and it still works..

     

    And I downloaded the video with a browser plugin as MPEG4 file and I got little better quality.

     

    And there is a RUF in the video!! :chewy::bananadance::hsquad::bgroove:

     

     

    And Nissan 370Z! And MB SLK55!

  7. ;365282']I've began writing down who expresses interest. When we're ready to begin brainstorming ideas' date=' we'll keep you in mind, Viltsua. :)[/quote']

     

    Thanks! :)

     

    Thanks Leadfoot, we should keep track of this.

     

    I didn't really "invent" this, Ryzza and Leadfoot did! ;)

     

    You did the first post atleast. ;)

  8. Scripts are a multi-person affair. One person comes up with an idea and posts it. Each writer then goes away and expands on it privately, and then everyone comes back in a day or two to collaborate and pick the best ideas. Google Docs is a good place for doing this.

     

    I could be one of those writer persons. As I watch a lot of Top Gear and I am quite enthusiastic with cars, I could think about the car tests, trips to somewhere and etc.

     

    Do we have a deal? ;)

  9. I'm talking about the new HD5450, 1GB Eyefinity, not the old 512MB. It will run TDU2 at lowest/medium just fine, as that is what he hoped for. It costs about $70 new. He should ofcourse go for HD5770 if he has another 30 bucks to spend.

     

    Ok, I found one review for the 1GB, but I am not sure if this the card you meant, or is the card you meant a newer revision or something?

    EDIT: Another review, they talk about eyefinity here, is this a newer revision, etc? http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-5450,2549-3.html

     

     

    Thanks!

  10. Ohwkeee.. well thx for you reply's

    But, I am not really looking for a graphic card that can run TDU2 on the best settings.

    As I explained ,I earn €100 per month so I am not really looking for a card that can run TDU2 on max settings because it's a bit over my budget.

     

    Here i'll post a link How I play a game now:

    And this is what i am looking for:

     

    But thank you guys anyway for your reply's

     

    Best wishes:thumbsup:

    If you have €100 per month then you have more then enough for a used ATi card with Dx11 and 1GB. The cheapest HD5450 (1GB) i found on ebay cost $60. I'm very sure you can find it even cheaper somewhere else.

     

    I strongly believe you can own both a good 1GB card + a new power supply and still have 20-30 euro left, out of a €100 ;)

     

    The HD5450 won't be able to play TDU2 even on lowest settings, it isn't much better than your original 8400GS. And even HD5670 isn't the best choice, I suggest getting HD5750/HD5770, or maybe HD4770 if you still can find it. The 4xxx series doesn't have DX11, but it really doesn't matter with TDU2.

     

    So my suggestion for lamborg is: Get HD5750 and a new power supply, then you should run TDU2 quite well. :) It isn't really wise to buy any lower than 4770/5750, because the price difference is quite little and you get much more for your money.
