Nice to see the master back. :clap:

The link still works here
 

You can't imagine how I miss this. Even after the servers went down I did this 250km race from time to time, starting from my saved races 🙂
According to the Big Island Tour statistic you have 158 entries, not including when you did races with the same car several times. So I think you really did this insanity at least 300-400 times. Btw, your statistic entries cover about 30% of all entries in the list and until today you hold record times for 61 different cars 😲👏
I really hope that one day we can bring that race back to life 😊

Aloha and hello, my name is Don. B. (also known as Donnie Brasco). Some may still know me from my active TDU2-times as a liverycreator and admin from the turboduck-partnerpage tdumods.com. My TDU2-"partner in crime" and fellow Cruiseanostra-member Luna introduced himself a couple of hours ago. Together we spend tons of hours in the game exploring, testing and doing silly stuff. Like him i am from germany and also 42 years old. Together we made "Lunas Big Island Tour" more than a bit "famous" amongst the TDU2-community - he as the inventor and organisator and me as the guy who was so crazy to drive this challenge over 250 times with each and every available car in the game.
My resumee of TDU2-playtime and achievements probably equal his. He may have a bit more playtime, because after i switched to The Crew (2) i honestly never looked back (mainly because of the - today even more - strange physics in this game). Only once i booted up the game again in the spring of 2015, when i got my first wheel and i wanted to test it during a nice cruise on Oahu.
Nevertheless TDU2 is the game that brought me back to gaming in 2011 after a 6 year hiatus from gaming. And thats why this game will always have a special place in my heart. If the guys from TDU World can make it happen to improve the physics to a good level the chance is great that i will play it more again in the future.
 

Hello, I'm from Czech Republic, I played TDU2 since 2015? idk now. I stoped playing since 2016. Because i found out Minecraft. But in 2017 I got my PC and find that i got TDU2. Played since now :).

Hello guys, i'm Milli! i'm 28, from Brazil. Played TDU2 in the beta testing, and never again. Although, massive TDU1 fan, and i support every effort to keep TDU community as a whole going on, and top effort from you guys!
 

Hey, I live in the US, and I ... umm ... I build websites

I started TDU2 in 2012 I remember. I'm today 17 and I always loved this game, from the beginning to today, I've been so sad when learning it was closing as well as Skill Special Force 2 or Battlefield Play4free, these were games I loved, so seeing it back one day could be awesome. I think I never finished 100% the Story but spent so much good time with my friends and still talk to them today. I stopped playing cause of the Online being removed.

Hi all. I'm from Melbourne AU, and regularly played TDU1 on PC when it first released up until the servers closed.  I completed TDU2 and took part in a few online cruises but didn't enjoy the physics/handling unfortunately.  The dirt-road handling was more tolerable.  I managed to win the TDU2 Superfan contest many years ago with this amateurish trailer.
I stopped playing TDU2 when I was accepted into the WMD program that helped fund and develop Project CARS.  These days I've packed away my Fanatec CSR Elite wheel + pedals and I play The Crew 2 and Rocket League on PC using a Xbox One gamepad in my spare time.  I'm looking forward to learning more about TDU SC.

Hi, TDU player from the beginning. I come from game's native country and had the chance to meet Eden Games staff at the times 🙂 I was part of the team from the first french community at tdu.fr (it has passed away since then).
I also followed TDU2 development and played a bit on PS3, but I could not get enough fun.
I worked a lot on TDU modding, providing some tools and  spending hours in reverse engineering, leading to most of vehicle mods and Platinum. And many more.
Concerning TDU2, I adapted Bnk unpacking/repacking tools for PC and I believe they are always used by modders by now, although being full of bugs 🤣

Hello Guys

Im from Albania and I've been playing TDU2 since it came out, been quite involved in the modding community here and have contributed financially to mod creators.
Since 1 year ago ive been working and improving upon the Unofficial Patches released, by balancing out the cars in game and adding new cars (up to a point where my TDU2 reached 270 cars) and tailoring the performance of the cars in game so they can be as realistic as possible regarding the TDU2 gameplay. I hope one day i can share this private project with everyone in here 🙂

I'm Ztryka, from The Philippines, 24 years old (about to be 25 this May) I played TDU1 Platinum back then in 2019, and just this year (2021) I started to play TDU2, about how long do I drive in TDU games? Like I was obsessed with finding all the roads on the island, like that much, every nook and cranny hehe. For TDU2, I found all the roads of Ibiza in two separate playthroughs, it gets easier overtime because of road planning, aside from the best moments of finding all the roads, other best moments I have in TDU games are marathon races where you drive around the whole island. (Tour of the Island and The Millionaire's Challenge in TDU1, Ibiza Tour in TDU2, although I haven't drive in Hawaii in TDU2 though.) About me, I do believe good music gives extra 100-200 horsepower to all cars. 🙂

Hey guys, I'm from Germany, 42 years old and I play TDU2 since release in Feb 2011. Before that I loved driving in TDU1, but not that excessive, maybe because I only played it offline, there had to be a TDU2 to make me love and enjoy the online features 😉 I managed to collect more than 4,500 ingame hours in my TDU2 main profile + about 1,000 more in some side profiles. In Dec 2014 I switched over to The Crew and after The Crew I switched to The Crew 2 in Jun 2018 (or better said beginning with alpha testing since Sep 2017). But TDU2 was never dead for me, I always loved to do the CRC races, made some by myself and cruise around Ibiza and Oahu from time to time, even when the servers went down. Until now I collected more than 330,000 kilometers and I hope there are still some more to come  😄

That's a picture taken in The Crew. ;)
 
btw now the set is complete and i have a proper cruising-setup again. ;)
 

 

Thanks for posting all of the content.  I don't think I've played this since before the gator rush update came out last October.

Thank you 😎, i edited my last post again.

you can just post the link it will automatically embed it now

Nice wallpaper!

Black Friday purchase, delivered on wednesday. ;) (TH8A-shifter is coming next week.)
 

 

Sunday night is the time I show you guys the car physics simulation test. Don't miss it. I have spent my last dollars of my bank account buying brand-new shoes just to make the video look better, you better watch it. :D

0. That is sad, Hope more people (especially, modders) see this and support me as this is a community project.
1. There could be real cars in the game but their names and models should not represent their real-life counterparts and ultimately, the 3D models ought to either designed by me or they should be commercially legal to be used in the video game. This is the legal way and so I have to do it this way if I ever want to add a car to the game.
2.Cool.
3. I don't have time for that, doing all the "actual" work take a lot... and I mean a lot!... of time, as I do the whole process of the project alone. But good for you, though. I check out your project, too!! Good job :)
4.Hah! In that case, we are on the same page then! This is my passion project, which means it is what it is :) Oh I also made a realistic license plate manager which defines the car ID, In other words, the license plate registration policy of an in-game car is actually the same as in real life, That also is the car's ID.

It's been quite a long time since I've been on here, and since then I've traded my beloved FRS for something a bit more... beefy. So here it is, my 2013 Ford Mustang GT/CS

So yes, it is the 5.0 coyote motor which means its good for 420 hp. The California Special package adds a front lip, different grille larger spoiler, different rear valance and leather and suede seats inside. All thats done to it right now is an exhaust and staggered wheels with 19x9.5 up front and 19x10.5 in the rear and a 305 tire in the rear.

Are you ready? The very first official "Around The Ground: Kish" video-clip [part 1 of 2]
It took ~3 hours for each minute of this video and a week for all the works. Kindly, I would be glad if you like and share it if it is possible.
 

 
In this video, I tried to show the concept, the island, some visual and gameplay aspects of the project.




Everything except the real scenes is in-game.
The pieces of music are by me (the last one, yes I do 3D modeling, programming, And music composing which I'm really not good at it) and KV.
