Love your sig, redl1ne ;)

I thought he meant Rover, not Range Rover (although the second one would seem a lot less weird) :)

Nice Ferrari shots there Tim

Good question. No idea. Try asking at the TDU2.com forums and see if a dev notices it.

0. Welcome :hi: 1. Yes. Grab the Modding Tools (you're talking about TDU1, right?) and edit the car's "Rarity" property 2. Not sure. 3. Would be a nice feature, hopefully the devs add something to TDU2 for it, but truth be told I'm not that anal about it (although it would be handy and make for good photos) :) 4. What's your resolution? I think you need at least 1024x___ from memory.

Just copy the whole TDU directory somewhere. Then after you reinstall the game, copy all the files back and overwite. When I've reinstalled Windows I haven't even bothered reinstalling the game, as it just works when I run the exe :D

Newer doesn't always mean better/faster, but use this benchmark to compare: Charts, benchmarks 2011 Gaming Graphics Charts, 3DMark11 - Enthusiast

What are you on about, patch? The graphics card is it's own mini computer, it has it's own RAM, processing unit, and mainboard which are designed to work optimally together when designed. The only way it interfaces with the rest of the computer is through the motherboard (and power, irrelivent in this case) - so all you have to do is make sure the motherboard has a PCIE slot with the correct speed (2.0 / 16x, etc). Super old (8+ years) computers with a brand new graphics card are obviously pointless, but all current parts are fine in this respect now.

I've built more than a few PC's (almost always Intel + nVidia though). I won't go into too much detail as I'm sure you can find the info elsewhere on the Internet if you search for it (hint: do searches on how to build a PC (i.e. on YouTube)). 1. As previously mentioned, if you're on a tight budget - a "kit" is usually the best (and cheapest) way to go. Most stores will let you make slight changes (upgrades) to certain parts (i.e. you might ask them for a faster CPU), and then you just pay the difference for the upgrade(s). Some kits just come as parts, whereas others come all built and tested for you, and in some cases you can choose to go either way (getting them to build and test usually costs $50-75) depending on how elaborate the build is. 2. If you are choosing your own parts, rRead all the "fine print" details about them. Most parts have more than one type of specification that's worth comparing. i.e. RAM is not just measured in capacity (i.e. 4GB), but also in speed (i.e. 1333MHz), timings, and of course what type it is (DDR3). The speed can be quite important - you want to match the speed of the RAM, CPU, and motherboard - this is called the FSB (Front Side Bus), and a common cause of bottlenecks. eg. There's no point spending a fortune on a CPU that has an FSB speed of 1800MHz if you then get a cheap motherboard running at 1060MHz, as all 3 components will run at the lowest speed. 3. Building PC's is dead easy (unless you're a hopeless clutz) ;) The only part that can get tricky (depending on what motherboard and case you get) is connecting the cables from the case to your motherboard (i.e. your Power button, Reset button, headphone, microphone, and status LEDs all connect to the motherboard using very small cables. It's not always easy to tell which one goes where due to poor documentation. Read the book that comes with your motherboard as it will have the diagrams that tell you what goes where. 4. As mentioned - PSU's are important, esp if you are building a PC for gaming. Go for a brand name (i.e. Corsair or Thermaltake. 600w is probably enough, but I would play it a bit safer and get 700w (cutting it fine is never good and can lead to system instability (sudden resets, etc)). Check to see if the power supply has the right connections for your graphics card (4pin or 6pin or a combination). 5. High-capactiy hard drives are getting quite cheap these days, but the cheap ones are usually "green" (eco) ones, which is often their way of making 'slow' sound good. If you've only got one HDD that's not very fast, your gaming performance will take a bit of a hit. There's no need to go grab an SSD (not that your budget would allow for it), but perhaps you may wish to sacrifice space for speed. I have a number of Western Digital "Black Series" (SATA2, 64MB cache) HDDs which work very well. SATA 3 is out now as well, which should be much faster. Remember, your computer has to read a lot of system (OS) files from the HDD as well as reading your game files. Having the OS on one disk and games/programs on another helps (or you can at least just partition your drive). If you do setup a partiton just for Windows, don't make it any smaller than 60GB, as the WinSxS folder can grow very large over time. 6. How hard is it to install Windows? Not hard - it's dead simple. If you can read and answer basic computer questions you'll be fine. It's just like installing any other program (it's actually faster than installing a few programs/games). Again, if you're not sure, do a YouTube search on how to install Windows 7. A good confidence building excercise is to find an ancient (working) computer that no-one wants and then pull it apart into all it's separate parts. Leave it for a day or two and try to put it back together, and turn it on and see if it works. Hope this helps, even if some of the points go beyond the scope of your build.

mmm I thin kI want to play GT5 now. Nice shots. That California from before also looks amazing.

Well they could've said "coming on April 26 for Xbox and PS3 and shortly thereafter for PC" :p

Hehe, shame we can't all say the same thing in real life. :p

Surely it costs more to make the game for PC than it does to make the DLC available? If they've gone to all that effort, why not go that little bit further to thank the PC players for their loyalty (even if it does come s**ner than expected) :p PC is (in most circumstances) the best platform for sim racing, so I would kinda forgive them for ignoring us when it came to no DLC in Hot Pursuit, but then giving us DLC in the sim titles. Surely that's reasonable enough? If they were upfront about which platforms would or would not be receiving DLC, then I could buy the arcade games on console and everything else on PC instead of going for my preference of PC and waiting/hoping I won't be disappointed. Otherwise I'll just have to reinstall GT Legends on PC ;)

Zonda Ticolore (yeah I'm a bit tight on finances in the game atm) :p Cruising Spyker simple police livery Poor Pyrre couldn't let go of the 'crouch' button quickly enough, unlike Dan who had lightning reflexes (read the chat text) :) My current wheel settings (using Sport mode as it's currently better than Hardcore mode)

If you can convince me to purchase TDU2 for X360 I'd be happy to join - maybe I'll see if the next patch sorts out those club issues first. Purchasing the game again just to join your club is probably just the sort of insanity you are looking for in a candidate anyway :nuts:

I'm gonna write EA a letter and I don't care if they don't read it :fuming: :p

Maybe if they didn't have the Veyron they could afford Lamborghini :umm:

Nice job snod.

I had this problem when I first played TDU2 final (not an issue in the beta). Solution was to close/terminate the Logitech Profiler before launching TDU2. You could then map the controls. Eventually the problem sorted itself out, so I can use the profiler to force a bit of extra centering spring to compensate for the lack of FF in the game.

My this is a nice turn-around from the TDU1 days where PC players had to wait a few months for the X360 content to reach us :p

^ Lamborghini's :(

GoPro camera arrived on Tuesday which works well (just need to find a codec/plugin for Sony Vegas). Went for a good drive (despite the rain) yesterday. Saw a Citroen Belingo on the way to work this morning (didn't realise those things were in Australia). Just downloaded some new nVidia drivers which allegedly will improve gaming performance by 13% I wish I could improve my gaming performance just by downloading new drivers :p

Cool Story Sis :nnnn:
