Great pics.. love it

Nice job And great driving pyrre & bimmer & pogo. I mustn't have the patch to get those trees in my copy of the winter mod

Uh, I had Wednesday off and I was bored. That was pretty much it ;)

I'll keep an eye out for it. The living room is getting carpeted *s00n* which is why the HDTV is unavailable atm. For now I've just done a race in FM3 and PGR4 and so far, so good. Does anyone know what the Display Reference Level is in the system Settings menu?

You could always create another one at a more convenient time. :) Maybe have one every 8 hours.

PAL settings is not an option for me. The Audio carries with the normal HDMI lead, but I don't have any video at this stage. I switched to a HDMI to DVI lead (the cable doesn't carry audio) in order to get video.

Not that I'm aware of. The monitor is a BenQ E2420HD. My 42" LG HDTV is 50Hz, so I'll be good once I have it setup there, but I would like to be able to use it in my room in the interim.

Hi guys I finally took the plunge and got myself an XBOX 360 Elite Bundle. I was hoping to play Forza 3 today, but I haven't got any audio cable options. I connected the 360 to my 24" LCD monitor via HDMI (which has speakers and pass-thru), but I just get an Out of Range error. The console is outputting at 1080p but at 50Hz, whereas my screen requires 60Hz for this HDMI. My PS3 worked fine using the same monitor and cable. I grabbed a HDMI to DVI cable and can now see the display. But I can't send audio via DVI so I have no sound. The only other cable I have is component, which I don't use on any of my AV systems. I don't have any adapters for that either. A few Google search results claim that you can change to 60Hz, but they refer to the old blade interface. I've had a look in system settings and didn't see anything. I would've expected the 360 (at least the Elite version) to have an Optical out connection straight from the motherboard like the PS3 does. I did a quick Ebay search and bought the Audio adapter that has the Red/White RCA and optical out plugs, but now I'm reading that the only way to use that in conjunction with HDMI is to crack open the plastic housing on the audio adapter. I knew the 360 was bad hardware-wise, but seriously? The ETA for the adapter is 7-14 days. Is there any way for me to get audio before then?

Does now :) Might as well have a go. You never know, maybe no-one else will enter :lol: Started off well in Paint Shop Pro 7, then after an hour I got bored and rushed the rest of it. Yes, I'm a complete novice at this, I know.

erm, I just came here via New Posts. All the titles look the same. I didn't think something was right either.

Uhh, this is the greenest car I have for now:

DiRT2 still looked awesome on my DX10 card, I won't mind if TDU2 is either DX10 or 11 at this stage.

Since when does TopGear stage anything? :lol:

Welcome I think you'll like TDUCks Chatbox feature :) Also check out the FAQ by clicking the button near USER CP and MEMBERS (up top). You don't need to use the quote function if the post you're replying to is directly above it ;)

Uhh where did you get it from? You can also try creating a new temp Windows account, log into it, close all running processes (as many as possible), and then start the game. You'll have to start a new profile (don't copy the other one accross). See if that runs ok. If you recently installed some mods, try removing them.

I think the motherboard will be fine (as long as it supports PCI 2.0 - use a program like Everest (demo) to get that info). You will probably, however, need a new Power Supply Unit (PSU). The graphics card needs direct input from the PSU from a 6-pin and 4-pin cable. Even my 9800 GX2 needed both of these connections, so make sure you've got a 800w (or higher) PSU with these connections. You can get cheap adapters to convert the normal 4-pin molex (the power connectors that go in your HD and DVD drives) to the plugs that the card takes, but this isn't recommended (especially for such a high end card). Since you're in Melbourne, feel free to send me a message when you are closer to upgrading, and I can show you the best/cheapest places to go shopping.

Currently got a '92 Toyota Corolla Hatchback I've got a Mk 6 Golf 118 TSI on order (equates to the 165BHP petrol one if you're not in Australia). Should be a good upgrade :)

You couldn't choose a custom paint job in certain cars in TDU1, maybe vinyls will only be allowed on certain (tuner) cars???

The Megapack is a combination of all the XBOX 360 DLCs except for the last DLC (most of of those in the last one are available as mods anyway). Adds 45 vehicles from memory.

Every time I've gone into EB (Australia) I've seen the game on shelf for no more than $20. If you have PayPal (linked to Bank Account) you could use an online store or Ebay. If you have a friend or relative you trust you could give them the money and get them to buy it online with a credit card (I had to do that with the mega pack).

Welcome to the forums. Congratulations on being the 1161st person to post an intro in here. :)

Well, I don't play it that much (only I need to film a few scenes in it for an upcoming movie). It is a good game if you have a good setup. It would've been a lot better if there were more DLC's, especially more tracks (wish someone would add Bathurst).

There is a track called Riviera in Supercar Challenge for PS3 (made a little bit after Ferrari Challenge, but with more cars and tracks, get it if you see it cheap). It is very similar to Monaco. :) I'm really annoyed with EA for not giving this pack to PC fans. Shift is supposed to be more of a Sim Racer compared to previous NFS games... correct? ~90% of simulation games are on PC only... correct? PC allows you to add custom hardware (wheels, TrackIR (there is a TrackIR mod for Shift), etc) and is capable of playing Shift with much better graphics, accross 3 monitors, and in 3D. So why wouldn't PC users get some special treatment for this type of game... why? I guess EA's bottom line is more important than their fans (the ones that specifically asked for proper physics and a cockpit view after Undercover came out anyway). The fact that lots of people don't buy PC games probably doesn't help either. Let's see if Criterion Games look after us better with their upcoming NFS release.... I'm still waiting for the island and Cops'n'Robbers DLC to come to PC for Burnout Paradise... so it's not looking good. :(

Trackmania had a similar system...

Does the game stutter in an offline profile. If not, the problem is likely related to your router or Port Forwarding settings (or ISP).
