    TDU Solar Crown

    Repository of artwork and screeshots for Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, due for release in early 2024.
  2. Nicely done. Consider adding this to the Downloads area of the website before it gets lost on Page 127 here.
  3. Please check how old the last post is on a thread or download before replying.  If it's a long time ago it's spammy to reply unless there's something really important to add.  Some of your recent replies have been to 10 year old threads.

      Claro, eles foram postados este ano. HAHAHAHA
      Hoje tive tempo de ver essas mensagens.
      Em verdade! Eu realmente queria ver um Koenigsegg Gemera no TDU1. Isso também seria um sonho tornado realidade! HAHAHAHA. Mas entendo que TODOS temos uma vida diferente de quando o TDU foi lançado. Tivemos que seguir o ritmo dos tempos! Isso custa!!!

  4. I see you found the Blur slider
  5. Like this community website dedicated to TDU and Platinum? Silly AI.
  6. And here I was thinking that AI were capable of counting beyond 1. /smh
  7. Yeah it's a valid point and I was thinking something similar recently with driving games where the time will come when older vehicle with fewer aids and less weight will be more desirable than their modern counterparts for those looking for a sim or hardcore experience.
  8. So a quick search online how to use the windows volume mixer to adjust each app volume independently. Or use the in game audio settings to turn down the game volume relative to the mod.
  9. I know right, there were too many funny random name changes at one point and now it's hard to remember who's Who and who's everyone else... anyway fixed yours up now.
  10. Nice to see you again. Congrats on the upgrade. We're a bit more active on Discord (Chatbox 3.0) if you want to say hi.
  11. Are you trying to log into TDU World with your turboduck account? You should have/create a separate TDU World account.
  12. I recorded a little solo cruise around the island. It seems to be between half to a third of the sizze of TDU's map based on time to drive around at a relaxed pace.
  13. Each player is responsible for sourcing their own serial number for the game.
  14. Meet the next instalment in the TDU series, as some familiar faces tour Hong Kong Island, the Solar Hotel, and Street/Sharp Headquarters. The game is reportedly feature complete (excluding post-launch content) and now expected to release early in 2024, avoiding a crowded release window with the likes of The Crew Motorfest and Forza Motorsport, and allowing more time to optimise and polish the game. If you haven't already, be sure to visit testdriveunlimited.com and sign up to the newsletter for a chance to be invited into future beta tests. Got thoughts? Share them below! Image credit: Alex VII
  15. Physics are arcade, not quite as refined as FH5, but certainly good enough for me to enjoy on a gamepad. Much better than TC2. I heard others say that offroading and landing large jumps needed a little work. I guess we'll find out more during the next closed beta later this month. And another TC2 content update feature track (route) creator, which I assume will also be a feature in TCM:
  16. I get the feeling those who've played previous FH games but not previous TC or TDU games will be more hyped. TC fans will complain about the dramatic map size reduction, and TDU fans may also complain that O'ahu here bears little resemblance, being squished. Then there's the high price tag, the grindy gameplay loops to afford overpriced vehicles, and constant push of MTX and season passes. Underneath, however, there is a fun and beautiful game in a location with a nice balance of nostalgia and new exploration. The physics so far look good, at least for the stock vehicles - I don't know how fully tuned vehicles will feel. You'll find more discussion on Discord. I know I'd like to play it, I'm just having a hard time stomaching the price, especially if they're likely to heavily discount the game like they have with TC2 over the years.
  17. 5 years on and whilst I would have preferred to wait one more CPU generation before upgrading, I've been running into a few problems that could benefit from reinstalling Windows (and hundreds of apps), so why not upgrade some hardware at the same time. I've also been regularly hitting close to 100% CPU utilisation and over 80% of available RAM (32GB). I will be reusing my case, PSU, fans, storage drives, and blu-ray drive, as well as keep the 4070 Ti that I purchased earlier this year. As I use my PC for audio production (single-threaded, high clock speeds), video editing (multi-threaded), and gaming and also value power efficiency I have selected the AMD Ryzen 9 7900 CPU as it gets around 80-90% toward the top of different performance benchmarks and can be easily overclocked whilst costing less than the 7900X. Motherboard selection came down to having the right mixture of USB ports and M.2 slots without wasting money on premium on-board audio that I'll never use. Asus haven't been in people's good books recently but this board was on sale, and Gigabyte have been hacked once or twice in recent years so downloading BIOS updates and drivers from their website presents a risk of sorts. M.2 Gen 4 SSDs have been becoming more affordable recently so I picked up an extra 4TB on sale. And for RAM I went for a G.Skill 64GB 6000 MT/s kit which uses preferred SK Hynix chips. So for my own benefit 5 years from now, the PC build will look something like this: Case: Fractal Design Define R6 with Type C USB 3.1 Gen 2 Front IO (10gbps) Mobo: Asus ROG Strix X670E-A Gaming with WiFi CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900 Cooler: NZXT Kraken X62 280mm AIO liquid cooler ($3 AM5 adapter purchased) RAM: 64GB G.Skill TRIDENT Z5 NEO RGB DDR5-6000 CL30-40-40-96 1.4V EXPO F5-6000J3040G32GX2-TZ5NR GPU: Gigabyte Nvidia RTX 470Ti 12GB M.2 SSD #1: 4TB PNY CS2241 Gen 4x4 (~5GB/s read) - for operating system, games, programs, virtual instruments and other audio plugins. M.2 SSD #2: 2TB Samsung EVO Plus 970 Gen 3x4 (~3GB/s read) - for audio production projects and export files M.2 SSD #3: 2TB Samsung EVO Plus 970 Gen 3x4 (~3GB/s read) - for video production projects and export files and OBS gameplay recordings SATA SSD #4: 8 TB Samsung 870 QVO (~0.5GB/s read) - I did use this for virtual instruments, games, and other downloads (basically anything that could be downloaded again since there was no way I was backing up this drive). It's clear that this will become a bottleneck for modern games hence the new 4TB Gen 4 SSD. I'm contemplating moving this drive to my HTPC for Plex movie/TV libraries so that I don't have to use the NAS as much (it's a bit noisy). SATA SSD #5: 4TB Samsung 850 EVO (~0.5 GB/s read) - currently used for audio production projects and files and some GoPro and OBS videos. I'll probably keep using it for older GoPro and OBS clips. Older games that don't require the speed boost might also end up here. Once the RAM arrives in the next day or two I should be good to start switching things over. I'm Thanks for listening to my TED talk.
