The problem is the same. The time and effort to fix it doesn't really worth it.

I did not asked to fix for all cars, despite I will love it! Just for each new car you add & take time to build physics, if you could also check each view & adjust properly tachymeter & odometer for them. I feel boring to be inboard view for example, see the speed at the tachymeter displaying 160 km/h, & see TDU down-right speed displaying 200...

When the speed & revs displayed are correct, I like to look at them while playing, for "realism/experience", I consider this a bit important, but if this is a little pain (or too long) for you to adjust this so be it!

PS #1: Just discovered with petrolhead there are TDU custom cars Ferrari SF90 & Porsche 935, just models apparently, no physics, but will be nice to have those on next/final update!

PS #2: And you need to rework 991 GT3 [RS] physics, then change so long 911 R's gear ratios (put the same as the GT3s). Also, 911 R's physics are different than the GT3's & much better & enjoyable, I think you should grab 911 R's ones, then improve braking & handling/turning for the ones of the GT3s... (I mean, base the 991 GT3 [RS]'s physics from the R). 991 GT3 RS should be as efficient on cornering & braking than the 911 GT2 RS (991), & even slightly better braking from 200<->250 to 0, since car is lighter (also checkable via webstats), even turning.

991 GT3's are too "static" & not enough efficient on "track", with assist off the car barely slips out... not enough fun. Real life GT3s are freaking track beasts!

That issue was present in vanilla TDU.  The effort and time to fix that is really something that doesn't worth it.

But it could at least be done to each new cars you add! Not to make you mad "again"! Test each view & control speed on the tachymeter compared to TDU's one on the down-right!

Those are cars Meelee refuses to write their names! Bouhhh! Hehe!

For some who want an alternative download link (direct), here (uptobox).

If Milli or other mods/admins do not want those links feel free to delete my post! Or, feel free to use those links as alternative ones in your main topic (I am not gonna remove the files anytime soon!).

@Milli:

What the hell are those 288 GTO so long gears?! Want to slipstream & follow a Chiron or what?

You also modified 812 SF, limiter is now at ~8k while it was good before (8.9k/9k). Besides, on inboard view the last red dot is missing (except when we downshift out of max RPM). Probably you adjusted this due to the tachymeter being red from 8k, but no!! That is the 488 Pista you must have "touched" (missing last red dot, inboard position too close to the steering wheel, hitting 9k RPM while it should be ~8k, like the 488 GTB which is correct), not the 812 SF, or, on the 812 SF, makes it more "slippery" (because it does not much compared to the F12 Berlinetta). And, why you did not reduced so long 7th gear of it?

But! I noticed you removed "turbo sound" on the Cayman GT4! Good!

I do not know what source you use as reference to adjust cars specifications, but using other cars games is not a good one! Use real life videos where we can see the tachymeter & odometers well, or, some good reference websites (like zeperf.com, accelerationtimes, etc.).

Ah, I can see there is a changelog! Nice!

But, if I can say something, for the future, you should "sort" it, either via three categories (like "Fixes/Changes", "Removal", "Additions"), or either per "type" (like "Environment changes", "Cars changes", "Bikes changes", "Various changes"), and, list "things" at the suite properly, not in mess, I mean, like all the "Removed cars" together, the "Added cars" together, etc..

This way, it will be simpler for the people to read & understand it, then easily locate something they care about (as example, I guess most of the people search for "new cars", the "Added car X/Y"! Haha!).

Also simple to test in-live the changes, for example, I have the game opened & your changelog too, I go back to Windows via shortcut key to look at it, then go back to the game & test a few things I have just read (like new cars, reworked physics).

I took the freedom to convert your changelog to a "better format", below is a demo (a few things has been adjusted/simplified/fixed & I also sorted cars by alphabetic order, then added Opel Speedster Turbo):

Feel free to read it, control it then use/replace it on the official build (or, at least here if you do not want to update your archive with it).

Also, it will also be "nice" to only provide modified & new files on the update package, because it sounds more you provided a big part of your game "as it is" (like all the +1000 vehicles sounds, where I had to replace mine above due to the loss of new ones from Reymondox's & cie)...

I do not know how you work or if this is just the "speedup process" in this update, but you should have a separated TDU "working" folder, where you put each modified & added file in it, in the right paths properly builded, and the "removed ones" can properly remains in the users's folder if the game update is programmed to no longer use them, not a problem! Because right now it is a bit like a "butched" patch where you did not bothered to sort anything!

It will also be nice to use new submitted sounds (Reymondox's & others), but maybe it is more scheduled for the future update v2.0, while now you released that you have done "as it is", in such case I get it!

Yeah, me too. Apparently, I don't have permission? What's that all about?

From that I heard, she might try to set up a torrent for the file, since it is big (+5GO).

Oh Milli! Oh yes Milli!!!!! Ohhhh I am gonna ... be more happy while playing the game!

But a few things:

#1: I am unable to download the file, I can not under XP & Firefox I use, then if I try another browser as workaround, I have an issue with that mega thing website you use for hosting. Besides this mega.nz is annoying, it does not seem good for me. Is there any way you can upload it elsewhere? I have an uptobox account I can give you the identifiants as "gift" if you wish, then you will upload it, then download that you want on such without limits! Uptobox is (unlike most of the other similar websites, where people often use to host games, music, TV shows, movies...), really "cool/generous" about limits & download speed for non-members. I also have a VPS I can host the file on it & you can use it as alternative download, but I will understand you disagree about the "question of trust" since this is "not you" who will upload it on it.

#2: I know it seems to be a "speed-up update", but a changelog (as before) would have been welcomed! But well, this is already nice you are among the rares still around to provide an updated content when most of the people "gave up the boat" in a lot of areas! EDIT: Oh yes, there is a changelog!

#3: Please!!! Create a list per brand of the specials cars we can get via tuners, like "Ferrari FXX (tuned via Ferrari Enzo)", etc., a complete list (like there is on another website) will be welcomed, but I guess you might not be motivated to write 800+ cars! I know you already explained on the past "your reasons", but the main reason why I am asking such is because this is very boring to buy a car & wondering which one we can have via tune, I know there is the surprise effect you want to create, but there are a bunch of base cars, and, me, I cheated the money like some others, but for the ones who do not know about it or just do not want to do it & get money by redoing challenges again & again, when they buy a car, if they do not like it, try a tune, then no specific conversion for it, they can sell it, but HALF of the price from the house, so they loose money... pretty boring...

Yeah but you paid them & convert them (or you can at worse say it is racedepartment's one while it is not, since the port might change a bit, besides, that is not a song!). I think you might have the right to do it. Is there something specific written about the "licence", if, there is? If nothing is specified, you can do that you want normally.

Also, you make it free for TDU (& also readapt/modify it, so no longer original file), not for Assetto, people who want them for assetto will still need to pay them, since your file is "for TDU". Then come on! We want the best of best to make this old open world game better!

EDIT:

I just took a look at the web page, I see they cost 6€, so, remains reasonnable, & I do not see any specific licence/rights, so you can do that you want normally, you just pay for "download it" (& for the modified work on them), that's all. If you can port them well (if you sure you can do it & make them render almost like or like Assetto), I think people here could donate to you (me first), so you buy them, like we all contribute... Or, some buy the sounds they want, then give them to you & you port, but to avoid multiple people buying same file it might be simpler & economic to donate to you & you allocate some money for the sound & your work. But I also doubt people "wanted to pay" is gonna rush nowadays!

But I just wish to know if you fully sure to be able to port any of them we might buy (or ask you) & send to you.

Personnaly, I can buy a few, in first, the 458 Stage3 Straight Pipes , 812 SF & GT3 RS.

But there is the question of what variation among the usually 3 provided you use for TDU, how you do? Does TDU can handle the three or it is just one with changed pitch by the game depending on the view or windows opened?

I like to see new sounds every week-end! Hehe!

But, why you did not tried this one? & maybe even this one for CGT?

That is up to you, but, I think, you could start some kind of global/single poll topic, where, when you wish to port a sound, ask us our opinion between some different you saw, people like me will be glad to give opinion about favorite! Hehe!

Hi, you should also use it for the 430 Scuderia, because this one much better & less strident than the original one!

Nice attempt, but the sound does not render "at all" like in the video from Assetto!

The idle is approximately good (at least not disagreable), but when we push the car, it sounds more like a loud turbine than a Ferrari's racing engine. I did some KMs in order to see if I can get use to it, but I did not! Sorry, so I put back the original one for now, as when it "rise" (the original), it is like the teleporting effect a racing engine can provide us! Despite a part of the original sound is a bit too much "high pitched"! Hehehe! But still pleasant.

I know the new V8 from the 488 are turbo equipped & sound is less charming than the previous V8 series, but in real it is very different!

Any chance you rework it, or, find a better sample which will render better once ported?

I would like the idea if we had a bigger group of people making improvements, cause then it would have made sense to make some sort of a spreadsheet of things needed to be done, and assign those things to different people and have it all a bit more coordinated. In the current situation tho, I'm not sure if that's really worth it. 

Would also be nice to centralize development into one good version (as I said before, I prefer Platinum I judge it more about "quality than quantity", despite various things or Milli's preferences/decisions remains discutable or annoying depending on other people tastes/preference), because other TDU extended versions exist, & people use them too, then we see those f***ing ugly orange car or their/our cars correspond to another ID (so, a different car) in-game!

I can agree with this,however seeing mistakes here and there slightly ruins the experience. I have an idea: what if we, as a community of this amazing mod, will create a topic with small bugs and issues with cars,map and other stuff. There will always be a pinned comment with updateable list (or something like that).

We really need to help Milli. What do you all think about this idea?

Yeah, like some kind of bug reports topic made by Milli, then we post the "issues" we would like to see "fixed", then she updates her head topic by writting that she plans to fix, and that she has done (like a "TO DO" + a "DONE" category). Except if she wish to keep the changes/fixes private in order to "shake us" when she will release her update, which is a possibility too!

But from that she said, various things can only be done by one person, or, if multiple person try to contribute this is gonna be a pain (like if some databases are only in 1 file) & mistakes can easily happen between contributors. She probably prefer to work alone on various things to make sure of that she has made & certify the quality of her work, which is logic & not bad in my opinion.

But I am a bit sad to see this game having 15+ years old, be very fun & nice as "Open World one", but not much people trying to involve in it, but unfortunately, this case also happens in other game types (FPS & cie), or areas, due to how the today world is, and the bunch of games there are, the people who are a bit "split" under different ones, etc., sad reality.

Just look literally 2 posts above. Yes, i still work on it.

No. I do plan on releasing it before 2048. As i said many times, some issues foes not worth the time they demand to be fixed. 

For me this has some importance level about realism but so be it.

Yeah it will be nice to have it "much more sooner" than that, however we will have to hunt you & torture you with a Meellee weapon! Hahahahaha!

Nice!

Are you gonna fix the odometers/tachymeters completly wrong for a bunch of cars in your update?

Like TDU's speed displays 150 KM/H and onboard odometer displays 120 or 165..., same thing for RPM, but this also depends on the view, some view display correct RPM/speed, some others not. Most of the cars have wrong display in cockpit view and for experience/pleasure, I would like to look at cockpit speed rather than TDU's digital speed in the right. Feel more fun/juicy to look the onboard needle rising rather than the digit on right.

Or max RPM (rev limiter) of some tachymeters wrong (488 Pista to 9000 while it is 8000 [& in board last red led not showing], 458 Italia Spider to 8000 while it is 9000, etc.).

Not all the cars might need a rework, at least, the ones where we badly see the speed/rpm in cockpit view can be skipped (or not "fixed in emergency"), but the others, it will be nice.

Yeah the F50 GT will be very cool, as some other race cars like MC12 Corsa & cie, despite maybe no model exists for that last. You know, to have more thrills in-game like with the FXX, sometimes! For street terrorism!

I hope you will add it Milli, and, as I previously said, I am not against contributing via some money (or thank you with this) especially in case of you do effort to add "my/our wishes" to the next update! And you should take that opportinity!

Hi,

I have spotted a problem, in HC, I have a Ferrari F50 with over 17000KMs, and when I am below around 160km/h, the odometer no longer increase, this does that from a moment but I am not sure it does all the time, and even when I am at 180km/h, this does not increase of 100m/2secs, but more like 100m/3secs...

THis game is cool, but it has some major & weird bugs even for tiny things like this...

Any idea how to solve this? Via trick or else? I wish to make the "turn of the earth" with the car as "goal", but this is gonna take me 2x more time with that crap!

Previously I already reported that in HC the total kms done in "house's stats" are no longer increased, but now I got this one! Annoying! The cars's odometer is ready to welcome 99 Millions of KMs, but start bugging at over 15000+ sometimes... What the hell!

EDIT: There is this subject, but apparently it is a common issue we might deal with... But I just posted in case of "someone found a trick against this".

Please add F50 GT! Hehehe!

PS: The model is available in hf-garage! But the physics might need some rework (base them on the FXX's one could do the job, as the car is easily a good match [~750HP, ~900KGs]), but F50 GT hits over 10000 rpm! So another good car for street terrorism!

The list of the gtplanet's topic has been released after the first TDU Platinum update (look at the date of both), logically it should contain all, but you probably have to add to it, the latest upgrades & cars added on the "Platinum Patch Update(s)".

Also possible the guy who did the list missed some cars.

Type "tdu platinum car list" on Google, you might find a first topic "gtplanet"...

Oh no, sad to hear that!

Maybe you could open/display a "donation" on your profile or in the first post of platinum page (via PayPal for example), and so, people like me who would like you to see you work again on this update scheduled could donate to you in order to let you buy a new laptop faster (and could also be used as thank you for your previous work), but this must be allocated for your laptop, not to buy Barbie puppets! Hihihi!

But it might be helpful to talk about your "personal issue" (computer down), in the topic and specify if we want to speed up the things (because a lot of people are waiting for an update as platinum it is a good content), that our "contribution" is welcomed. Besides, as I said before, I would personnaly prefer if people will use Platinum & be "centralized on it", to improve in-game "pleasure" with all people having "same base content/cars", and not see too much of those fucking orange TDU cars used by other TDU editions!

Sorry if this is a bit "out of context", but I started to play HardCore mode from some weeks (with keyboard & TC off), and I have notified the stats (in house "INFOS" tab -> play time, total distance, etc.), no longer increase.

Is this the case for other people (I guess yes), and, is there a way/patch to fix this? This is not "dramatic", but a bit annoying, especially for total KMs browsed, I am currently stuck at 37***.** while I am probably at around 50000 now.

To Milli: Do you have an approximate "status" (in %) or release date of the future Platinum update? I have read your previous answers about this, but I am curious to see what about now.

do yourself a favor and go check the number of topics in modding forum,

you expect us to check every single links and move them ask for contribution, tag appropriately so we know where to move back, contact author request permission or working out take down notice, coordinate reupload, update post / db for each file and move them back?

be the do-er not the talker, you can start a spreadsheet and track all broken links, coordinate file shares, and share them here

You could work "intelligently" and by making your life easier, including the contributors ones, but creating subforums inside that main forum, with the same name as the base ones (rather tag the topic, even if adding a prefix like "[VM]" for "Vehicle mods", etc.).

I've not suggested to "contact author" huh! Just wait for he/she or someone else to take a look and provide a download link or upload a file, then you, admins/moderators will edit the first post with the new download link. But of course contacting the author will be a nice thing to do in order to have more chances at filling all of those dead links, if none of the others including admins have those files.

Request author permission for what? Just editing the post with new download link(s)? Or something else? Because for making the things right for the sake of the quality of your website, as admins, you do not need to waste your time at asking such permission, neither for moving the topics to another forum! If I would be an author, who have made and posted a file, then if this one is gone, I'll be glad you take the lead at reuploading it without my permission, so users could enjoy again my stuff! So do not be stupid at thinking it's a bad practise while it's a good one in such critical case! And, while you do not modify the content of the file I do not see the problem, this is better to have a link than none of it.

Also, doing that I'm saying will clean up the standard forums, where only content with valid links could be found, not gallery/garbage with... And will be simpler for all the users, so they will know that all they can see in such forum, has a link/file!!

Try to be (or, imagine) on the forum like "a new user" (like me), who wants to get some content, but where most of it has "dead links", this makes the people a bit angry and attempted to complain like I do, or, just shut up and move elsewhere. I know it's a long work but you can do it sometimes, step by step, and take the lead with that.

And again, I'm suggesting things that annoy me (and others), but if for you this does not appear "dramatic" as it is, or, if you prefer more do "act of presence" by answering people when you come, instead of working on those dead links some minuts per day, so be it.

I'm already busy alone with a personnal project that took me thousand of hours (I code stuff for it in C++, etc., despite I'm not very good at it and it's more a hobby), so sorry, but I do not feel to contribute much to other content, I'm more a TDU game user and simple visitor who suggests things to improve in order to have a better content, no one who suggests things at multiple areas/domains can do the things himself huh. People have the right to post comments/ideas without being forced to do that they are saying themselves. So that's up to you to take them, or leave them!

I play that game for "relaxing" and have fun, I do not feel to work for it at all. Meantime, maybe I could take some times at some moment to do that I suggested about dead links, the easiest for me will be, you create those new forums, then give me "topic move right", so I track them, then move them to the right new forum, but you are not gonna give such admin right to me huh?! So what way should I use? Create a .php page with all the clikable links of dead topics, then you browse the list and move them yourself? If that's O.K. maybe I could do it, but both of us will need to work and the total time allocated for doing the job will be higher.

But maybe I could find some time for contribute, despite it's possible I may not. But seriously, at your place, you could try to do it, with moderation, like for example, in the "Vehicle mods" category, there are like 25 topics per page, and x40, so around 1000 topics. So, every day, or, every two day, you control 4 pages (100 topics) of them, then move the wrong ones without DL to the new forum where contribution is required. Then in a few weeks the category will be finished... And after that, the "Vehicle Mods" category will only have available content, users will prefer that, because right now when you see dead links on some, every time I click on a new topic I'm afraid I got an invalid link, this is exasperating, and after a few, I even do not even want to waste time at browsing the rest since those ones will be probably dead too, seriously! In my head I'm almost like "so which one I try that could work?"

Both websites are like a gallery/garbage, ...

I was talking about dead links, of all of that content that attract us, but where at the end, we can not get it.

First, thank you very much Milli, for all the detailled replies, I'm glad you took time to comment each of my long points!

I know this is mainly you (due to the posts I've read) who grabs a bunch of content and take the time to "pack and adjust everything" to that Platinum in order to let people like me enjoy it nicely, but the base content (cars, sounds, etc.) is from the others that's why I thanked multiple people.

But keep in mind you "had to" see all of the points I've specified as suggestions (fixes, evolutions, etc.), not as negative critics. I suggest the things I have in mind I think this could worth a lot, then if this can not be done, this can not be, so be it, no need to dramatize or be slighly offended, that was not my intention, and I know all of that you are doing is free (I also know a lot of things for free for other games). This is mainly to give you & possible contributors some ideas in case where they did not thinked about it, and why not work on it. Maybe the term "I would like" was a bit offensive (sounds like "I want", maybe), but I can assure it's not the case, I'm only "suggesting", not requiring!

Also, the "impossible" you say too many times, is basically based on your + other modders knowledge, and mainly around this website (people say "impossible" until they found the way someday, or someone else do it, and I remember various things about it in some other games possibilities, which were impossible too long time ago, then got bypassed some years later...), but in fact, a lot of things I said should theoretically be possible, this is just because people around here (active or gone) have a limited knowledge of the game and almost no one has good programming skills (C++, etc.). It's not your fault, just a fatality/ascertainment, probably no skilled coder wants to code for such old arcade game named TDU. But this surprise me that, from around 15 years old it exists, the modifications made to it by the people are a bit "limited" in my opinion (again, due to lack of skilled programmers working for it), while the game could have potential, like if someone could reverse-engineer it (but I've not looked at how it's coded to facilitate this process), or, someone who could "crack" it, via hacking, and replace some existing code per a new one, or, just patch some lines.

As you said, there are a very limited amount of people to work on this game, so be it, but this is sad! And look, I saw some good tools like "World Map Editor", etc., released years ago but almost no one work with such, like, as extra maps addons, I see what, Coconut Island, Surfer Island, why no more? Does people/modders prefer and are more on TDU2?

And, on the web, if I remember well, I already saw some videos of people having modified the game interface, etc., so for me it's more this website which has a lack of skilled programmers to work on it, unfortunately.

About providing the "Modders Tools" (TDUF, etc.), again, I did not say to remove them from the website, but just stop highlighting them here too much (do not provide them in the Platinum package). Because usually people will use them for their own pleasure or cheat in-game (which fucks up a bit the "online experience" in my opinion), and will not contribute to the global project (as submitting performances adjustements, etc., to you in order to let you update Platinum more often). Huh, because is-it really helpful at the end, to make the Platinum patch better? Tell me, with the like "4 people in the team" you said!

880 cars is a lot, for sure, but you know, you always have some people who would like to see their favorite cars added, and I know you can not fill all their wishes, obviously, because this will take years! Besides, a bunch of cars among them are not liked by some people (there are a tons of them I do not give a shit, as example, and even among the around 160 cars I have in my garages, I mainly use some favorites, less than 20), and if you add a bunch of versions available in tuners, this is just some kind of "useless cars/numbers" among the 880 for some people. Also, I see you are currently adding more cars so good to know! But I may suggest to add more cars of the A to C classes, because usually people take more often powerful cars than slowest ones. The slowest ones can be funny sometimes, for a quick ride, or, the funiest with them I think (as I did a few times), is to ride with other people having more powerful cars, then, take the lead and distance them on corners, this is usually more juicy than with a more powerful car (I tried that with a Porsche 550 and this was juicy)!

Also, that "880" count all the duplicated ones too, so if you add like 15 versions of a car where only the style change (250 GTO), or, for a car we do not like, that number is (at least for an user concerned), not so accurate regarding the deep difference between cars (about specs, etc.).

There are also some people who are aware about the "other patches" (like Natan), and will prefer using it "just for the 1500+ cars" rather than yours, while, as I said, I prefer much more yours having a better quality content. And, since those people will prefer those patches, the online experience will be "fucked up", as you will not share the same new cars and will not see all of them properly. While, I'll personnaly prefer if everyone could run that Platinum, in its best version!

I've tested hardcore a few times, but I do not keep it, since I'm get use to the arcade mode, mainly because this HC mode should be better with a wheel and with keyboards arrow it's not made for that as I can not dose the gas, brake, turn, etc.. But about cars's performances developped in such mode, I should test and compare again, but normally, on straight lines, when we fully accelerate and having a full ground grip, the acceleration performances should match to the arcade no (like a 100->200 km/h in same time right)? And as I said, a bunch of performances are out of the reality, I know "it's just an old open world car game", but some rework on it could have been nice, just suggesting...

At the end, I've the feeling you and maybe others will do nothing (or almost) of that I suggesting, but in my opinion, you could do at least a few for the next update (the "minor things" which are in your capabilities), like the rims size of the F12 TDF (look at them in-game, and look at them in real, really, you do not see how weirdly big they are in-game?), or the tachometer buggy on neutral, or use some other sounds for a few cars (modern McLarens having turbos... sound of RUF RGT for naturally aspired 911...), remove the "turbo" for the GT4, etc.. I know you told me I can do it myself via tools, but again, I'll prefer you do it, so this will affect all the people who will use the update... (people will see right size rims), because I'm suggesting all of this with the spirit of "contributing" a bit (thinking to the other users), and not thinking only to myself at modifying the game "only for me" which does not interest me much, strangely!

that's big assumption you have there, believe me, I am aware lot of dead link issue, and I have tried to revive lot of old mods.

Yet simply lack of time, required files or being able to reach out to the author etc

if anyone has the files, and have time willing to help revive old mods, feel free to reach out to me

So thank you for doing this! But sadly not everyone seem to do that!

Meantime, for the other dead links (unfortunately, a tons of), why not thinking about my suggestion to create a new forum ("Missing download links: Your contribution is required!", something like), and move all of those topics here, so this will help the users other than admins to contribute more easily at fixing this, what do you think?

Hi!

I'm new there, and I'm glad I've found that recent Platinum patch to enjoy playing TDU much more!
I basically know and play the game from long time ago (I only had the Paradise patch, nothing more), and I've also played at the TDU2 for a while (until various things about the development and the server got stopped), and I had not played TDU for a while (like two years at least...), but some weeks ago, I wanted to play again at cars game, and I magically discovered that Platinum patch.
So, I was curious and I wanted to test it, and now I really love playing at TDU, almost every day, since it massively extend the driving possibilities with all of those new cars & features.

So I want to thank you all the people who worked on that Platinum patch, for the deep & good work on it, and I hope there will be more content of it in the future, and as soon as possible! Hehehe!

I've also tested the famous "TDU Natan", which is a Russian version different than Platinum, and well, it's not to denigrate the work of the guys behind, but I do not like it, it's basically much more "quantity than quality" (lack of custom sounds, HUDs, ugly cars models, cars put "in a mess" in any dealers, etc.), Platinum is a way much better & enjoyable patch, despite it has much less cars, I prefer it much more, because I like "quality", and I want to take pleasure at driving some cars which have been better made in overal, despite not everything is perfect of course!
The "TDU Natan" version is probably used a lot by the "Russian people", since they usually like to use the "stuff from their country", no matter how good or bad it is, so be it...

I've a bit more than 30 years old, so, I like when it's "realistic" (models, physics, sounds, etc.), so one more reason why I prefer Platinum over any other special enhanced patch (I also use Windows XP, so I can not run modern games like Forza Horizon, at least until I set up a dual boot...).

Meantime, since nothing is perfect, I've a bunch of suggestions to make for the future version(s) of TDU Platinum, and which, I think should interest more than one, because they are useful and will enhance the in-game experience.
I'll try to moderate myself about those possibilities, since there are limits people can do, and maybe not enough expert volonteers (programmers, modelers, etc.) working on this game.
Also, I might forgot some things, since I think about features when I'm in-game and forgot to list them in a file! So I might update my list or add more posts later.
And, you can ask me more details (or help here or via PM) if in case you wish to know more about that I'm refering, by quoting the right point.
I also know there are a lot of those things, and obsiously not all will be added, but if some people think it's good, useful, and, possible to be made, you can work on it, and even start some polls to have confirmation that this worth well!
I've properly structured my listing, by using numbers, so devs/people can just specify a number to tell me on which part he is refering/commenting, if needed.
