A couple of textures for the 1957 Corvette.
Features:
clear windscreen glass improved rear chrome textures better emblem bump textures darker taillights and exhaust holes Installation:
Replace the original file (Euro/Bnk/Vehicules) with the new file (make a backup). Enjoy

Summary:
Adds one of the new roads from TDU2 to TDU1.
Installation:
Extract the two .rars into your TDU Install directory. Let it overwrite the Bnk files.
Entry points:

Known Issues:
Tree flickering
A few trees can flicker on and off. None actually on the road, but it may be distracting. I'm currently looking into it.
Floating trees
I didn’t have the Heightmap model from tdu2 so the terrain is a mix of TDU1 Hmap, TDU2 roads, and guesswork.
 
 

A set of better textures for the Challenge Stradale.
Features:
improved headlights more realistic fender badges better looking body glass (no more dark thick black frames) better looking gas cap darker, more detailed engine bay textures darker exhaust tips better looking horse and Challenge Stradale rear badges (Rear mesh appearance sadly cannot be fixed by textures alone)
Installation:
Replace the original file in the Euro/Bnk/Vehicules folder with the new file (remember to make a backup) Enjoy

This is an incredibly simple modification for anyone tired of how intense the contrast is in TDU1. The photos show before/after shots (I haven't titled them but it should be really obvious which screenshots have less contrast). This isn't really a weather mod, because I haven't changed anything about the timings or colors of the weather itself. Instead, I simply applied the following values to all in-game weather patterns (as well as all outdoor environment like paint shops, car rentals, etc.):
 
CONTRAST = 1.12500
DESATURATION = 1.00000
BALANCE = 0.06310 0.06310 0.06310
CARGLOBALFACTOR = 200.00000
 
All this does is get rid of the nasty intense contrast, keeps colors looking balanced and natural across different weather patterns, and slightly brightens lighting on vehicles so you can see them properly from any camera angle. I intentionally didn't change any values that affect sunlight, clouds, or the like to preserve the game's general sense of weather (I'm not really a fan of any of the fancy "weather mods" I've tried, they never address the contrast issue and often have weird problems and drawbacks).
 
About HDR: I'm sure the changes I've made would work in the game's HDR mode, but I haven't bothered doing that because I don't ever use it, the whole point of this mod is to reduce contrast, whereas HDR mode increases contrast.
--------
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (FOR BEGINNERS):
 
1: Find the game files directory (by default it's "Program Files (x86)/Test Drive Unlimited")
2: Once you're in the game files directory, enter the "Euro" folder, then the "Bnk" folder
3: If you haven't installed any mods in TDU1 already, backup the "Bnk1.map" file somewhere safe (in case something goes wrong) and replace it with my version (all this change does is allow the game to read modified files. If you have already gotten other mods working, skip this step).
4: Now enter the "FX" folder
5: Backup "Weather.ini" somewhere safe (in case you want to revert changes or you don't like what my mod does)
6: Replace "Weather.ini" with the one I have provided
 
That's it! Cars should now be more visible and less highly contrasted. 
However, if you use other mods that rely on edits to weather.ini, replacing yours with mine will break those mods. See below for a work-around.
--------
NOTES FOR EXPERIENCED MODDERS:
 
1: Do whatever you want with this, it barely took any work and I don't care about credit
2: If you want to use my contrast reduction without replacing the whole weather.ini file (if you already have other mods that changed it), first open weather.ini with notepad, then copy the 4 lines of values I listed near the top and use them to replace the values with the same names in the "DEFAULT" section at the top of weather.ini. as well as all 20 sections of "FREERIDEWEATHER_[afternoon/morning/etc]" located a little under the "DEFAULT" section.
   [2a: If you have never edited weather.ini before, you might run into an issue where trying to save edits gets denied by your computer, even on an administrator account. To solve this, the first time you edit weather.ini, save your edits as a new entire copy to a non-protected folder, like your downloads folder. Then, place the original weather.ini in your recycle bin, and then move the new edited copy from downloads to the game's FX folder. Problem solved!]

I don't know about you, but when I went 200MPH and glanced at those shrinking bushes in the distance, I immediately used to feel dizzy. Maybe it was caused by a custom FX file (I last played vanilla TDU years ago), but I wanted to fix that. So after few tests I managed to find some solution. At least it looks much better now.
Installation:
1. Replace FX.ini file in Euro/Bnk/FX (remember to make a backup)
OR
Copy [GRASS] section of the provided file in your FX.ini (in case it interferes with your mods)
2. Enjoy

Here is the only production midship car produced by GM up until the Corvette C8 came out. This Pontiac featured a space frame chassis and removable exterior panels of composite plastic called Enduraflex that were advanced for its time. 1988 was the final year for the fiero line up which came with performance improvements such as improved front suspension design, larger vented brake discs, and overall the most refined compared to the previous years.
