Can do, thanks for the heads up Hope you don't mind me editing your first post

Usually in the mountains there is a small shop with a gas pump which looks a lot different to a petrol station in the suburbs. As long as there are fuel stations every 10-15kms or so and along the main routes, we should be fine. That said, we've heard nothing about fuel so far, so there's a decent chance that it won't make it into the game.

How about this for an idea - once you complete the game 100%, you can buy the exclusive cars for yourself

If they made it so that when you went to your house and swapped to another car, the old one was automatically filled up (by your butler, which you could unlock once you get to a certain level), then it wouldn't be that big a deal. You only keep the one car mostly when on a long cruise, and that's when you want to be making fuel stops, so that you can go grab a snack or something.

Ok, I have created 3 discussion threads for the main topics that seem to concern people most of all: Exclusive Club Cars (merged with SuperHyperTDU's 'Club-car only?' thread) Car Damage Car Handling We've had polls on some of these topics before so you could tell everyone how you would like TDU2 to be, these threads are where you can discuss what you do or do not like about how these features are taking shape as we see more videos or read more articles about the game. New members can also ask questions there. Hopefully this will help keep the threads in the News section a little cleaner so that the news stands out a bit more :lol: Thanks guys ;)

I liked the forest scene near the end, that was mainly it for me

If you would like to ask question regarding this topic or discuss if it's a good idea or not, please do it here, and not in other threads. What We Know We know that the handling from TDU1 was evolved from Eden's previous V-Rally games on PSX. Eden said thay they were making a new handling mode that was easy to use (accessible) but difficult to master. Physics have not beein completed in TDU2 yet. The physics shown in the two trailers already released are not representative of the final game to be released in Fall 2010 (northern hemisphere). Some feel that the handling shown in the two trailers is terrible, while others are confident that the physics will improve greatly closer to September. Others think that despite being shot from inside the TDU2 game (unlike the early TDU1 trailers), the cars are animated instead of being 'driven'. A lot of people have already said which type of physics they would like to see in TDU2, many asking for Simulation based (or close to it), while others were happy with the physics in TDU1. You are welcome to discuss the pros and cons of this topic, but any posts that go offtopic or are rude will be deleted.

If you would like to ask question regarding this topic or discuss if it's a good idea or not, please do it here, and not in other threads. What We Know When driving, your car will show cosmetic damage. If you were drifting around a corner to gain 'points' and crash, those points will be lost. One article (GameSpot) said that damage would cost you, but it is believed that this reffered to the loss of accrued 'points' during the particular stunt move. Some feel that damage is a great addition to the game, while others want their cars to always look in prestine condition. You are welcome to discuss the pros and cons of this topic, but any posts that go offtopic or are rude will be deleted.

We are discussing an upcoming car game here, not how awesome or otherwise our countries are. Please remain on topic here.

From what I've read, clubs have to win races first, before they can upgrade their club house and buy exclusive cars. Screenshots showing exclusive cars with others mean nothing at this stage. Developers can cheat, so to speak, to place any cars wherever they like. It also stands to reason, though I could be wrong, that if a club can buy a club exclusive car, they should also be able to purchase non-exclusive cars, which means that some of the screens that we've seen are of a garage at a clubhouse, not a persons house. Since one profile is used both offline and online, I'm not sure if you can get these cars offline. In the TDU2 Suggestions/Ideas section, I'll create a few threads for discussing various features of the game. There they can debate and new members can ask questions.

1 to 91 sounds like a safe bet to me (91 days in Fall)

Two released trailers have been affected by small delays, and you reckon a projected release date that is months away, made by a company who has no control over the development or publishing of the game is a sound bet??? ;) The most recent trailer to be released a few hours ago said the game would be out Fall 2010. They didn't say which month, or which day. I'm not having a dig at you, but I don't want our visitors being misled in case the information is incorrect.

Who cares? Release dates on various websites mean absolutely nothing until the game publishers announce a release date

Has anyone made it available to download yet (w/o having to register)?

I don't think it's going to be as bad you're all making it out to be. Sure, it might take a while before you can drive a certain exclusive car, but after some time when the excitement has worn off, I'm sure it'll be easy to get a hold of them. PC users will probably be able to swap them for other cars. Plus, if I join a club with a bunch of people from the UK, I should be able to sneak into the club garage while everyone else is sleeping. Considering that the exclusive cars of TDU1 were only available to a select number of players only, this is a step in the right direction.

Have a look on page 23 - links to it were there a few times. It's also at the bottom of the first post now (it'll stand out more when a YouTube version is available to embed, hint hint) I have to agree with the others that are -slightly- disappointed. None of my driving bones are tickled (I could've worded that better (or worse, I guess (thinking of James May's fizzy...))). Time to update my wishlist to request the music to be dimmed down, drivers seat view, proper physics and engine noises, as if I was actually driving in the game). If you want to see something specific in the next trailer, you might consider posting it in this thread (one post per member)

If anyone wants to discuss damage further, please do it in one of the threads that are already discussing this topic i.e. http://forum.turboduck.net/showthread.php?t=18689

Don't crash then :cheeky:

Windows 7 lets you have multiple clocks in your system tray (there's obviously going to be similar 3rd party apps too). I've got my own Aussie (GMT+10) clock, London, and East America. Yeah, I just use west/central/east as I don't know what PDT and all that other jazz refers to. I use the -12+/-x system to keep track of what the time is elsewhere. It's 11.10am Friday here. For London, I go -12 + 3 = 11+3 = it must be 2.10am there. For New York, I go -12-2 = 11-2, it must be 9.10pm there.

Easy to read text image thingos are moved to the first post now

I won't do a transcription per se this time, but I am working on something to make it easier to read. If it's ok with you Tom, I'll put it straight in your top post to save time and bandwidth. I'll wait for you to get back to me regarding that...

Yeah, I was more interested in the movement of the sun than anything else

I think that had something to do with the Ab-load.de thing as well

I had to buy the cable separately. They charge $50 for it. I already had a HDMI cable at home, but I needed the audio adapter. :mad:
