Awesome! We will get damage in the game as well. Has Ferrari changed their mind about letting Ferrari cars to be damaged in games? Or maybe there will not be Ferrari? In any case, I'm really happy for that. Hopefully they will introduce some realism mode instead of the silly "hardcore" mode with moon gravity and ice grip that is in TDU1

Happy (late) birthday!

It's hard to say anything because you haven't given any description of what happens when you try to start. Could you describe what kind of error message you are getting when you try to start the game?

The normal mode is actually more realistic than the "hardcore" mode. Netiher of them is fully realistic, but in hardcore mode the gravity becomes totally unrealistic (or your car weighs only about 80-100kg). The cars fly from jumps like they would be in moon. The grip in hardcore mode is like you would be driving on a snow. If you play on hardcore mode, and want to make it realistic, I suggest you use the winter mod and avoid any jumps. If you don't use winter mod, the normal mode is more realistic.

Here in Finland, where winter tyres are mandatory during winter months, most people use studded tyres. I've never seen anyone using chains actually.

I just got Logitech G25 and TDU a few months ago so I'm still enjoying TDU almost daily.

If it's still possible, I'd like to change my vote to 59. Opelos_HUN.

August 2010. The sooner the better, but in the end I hope they finish and polish the game so that it won't be buggy when it's released.

It's a nice idea to make one house to be ownable just by one person. It feels strange sometimes when you drive in one of your houses in the game and suddenly you see other people driving in there too. One solution for the 10001st problem could be: apartment buildings could have unlimited number of apartments, but houses could only be owned by one. There could also be separate rentable/buyable garages, where you could store your cars, so that you don't need to have a lot of houses if you have many cars. It would be enough to have one house and then car storage garages in some other place. It would also be nice if people could then put the houses / apartments for sale in the market. Buying furniture etc sounds good too. Maybe a possibility to visit friend's houses would be nice too. You would appear in a couch when you visit a friend and you could see his/her place.

I agree, having automatic transmission that behaves like real (and has R, N & D modes), would be good. The current global automatic is pretty much just computer operated manual.

A realistic cruise, that sounds good. I will try to be there with my Murciélago or Gallardo.

Looks about the same as what we have here now, 30-40cm of snow. Temperatures are around -20°C (-4 °F). Traffic is going normally here though, as it's just a regular winter weather here and everyone uses winter tyres.

As Tipsy said, RUF and Lexus cars are in the game once you install the official TDU MegaPack. Megapack is the only official car pack that has been made for TDU PC. http://www.atari.com/games/test_drive_unlimited_megapack/download

Sounds like a great idea! I'd like to have something like a full-size bus or semi-truck ;)
