For now: I wanted the pic to look like drifting when I took it, but it's really a burnout. I was only doing about 20kph there. :nuts:

I'd be most surprised if Lee didn't personally invite you to the TDU2 Beta program Diablo :)

You need to remove the the contents of this folder: Show hidden files and folders via Control Panel - Folder Options - View Settings tab XP: C:\Documents and Settings\you\Application Data\Test Drive Unlimited Vista/7: C:\ProgramData\Test Drive Unlimited.

I'm sure it's on EBay somewhere cheap

Looking forward to the final result, keep up the good work

I can't remember the last time I saw recommended specs like that. To think that only 2 graphics cards ago I was using an 8800 GTS 320mb and now it's classed as minimum. Hopefully they make the new trailers on a PC that lives up to the recommended specs - should look saweeeet ;)

Uhh, then why doesn't his mum ask a question here? ;) I really haven't been noticing, I thought we were helping the TDU_(insert-rest-of-name-here) guy from New Zealand. :ill:

Well if someone accuses you of cheating to get lots of money in TDU2, you might, uhh, have a good excuse :cheeky:

Just like Mythbusters, only we already know the answer to the question: Is it a good idea to microwave this. Cheers for the vid ;)

Nice pics. Not a big fan of those roads though :)

Good to hear - I read a few 'meh' and 'repetitive' comments about the game. It's annoying how some people already have the game and other countries don't. June release for Australia. No wonder so many acquire PC games using illegal methods. I'm still waiting for Steam to let me purchase Blur.

Gotta love how no-one trusts Atari with digital downloads of TDU2 this time around, and I don't blame them :D

The trend so far is usually around Friday. 'Very soon' doesn't fit in too well with next week, so who knows how quickly it'll be released. He said that he saw the trailer but didn't mention that it needed tweaking or anything, so I reckon we could see it within 36 hours. Where to look, what to type in Google to find it??? :)

Thanks for the pics. I bought the game cheap on EBay yesterday, so I should get it in the next month or so :p

I can live without exclusive cars in NFS games, but withholding cars from players in a game like this seems a bit wrong. Hopefully there are other ways to get the bonus cars (even if they are in DLC's that you pay for). Nice Daytona pic too

If you play TDU on PC, you basically need to capture your gameplay using an external program, such as Fraps, Xfire, or GameCam. When in game, turn off your HUD for a better-looking result. You will then need a video-editor program to string your clips together. Windows Movie Maker is available, but isn't the easiest software out there to use. You can always start off using it, and then work out if making movies is what you want to keep doing or not. If it is, then you could look out for something better like Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere. Once you get some practice, you can make movies using TDU and other games like Leadfoot and I do:

I took about 7 cars for a test drive about a month or two ago, although most of them were between $20-30k. You could get a good deal if you go shopping right near the end of June though (End of Financial Year Sales). Mitsuibishi Lancer VR Sportback - Great car mechanically, looks nice, interior was very plain though Subaru Imprezza - Nice interior but very slow Honda City - Also pretty slow, quite roomy for what appears to be a small car from the outside Toyata Corolla - steering was very light, nothing else was overly interesting Ford Focus - pretty boring Mazda 3 SP25 - very zippy, don't like the look of the front of the car, nor do I like the interior. Also very expensive Volkswagen Golf 118 TSI - Great interior, looks alright, still accelerator pedal (not sure if that changes in Sport mode), but also very powerful. Also expensive, but a friend has got one cheap for me, which I might get in a month or two. Ford Fiesta - not bad, but the Automatic version is underpowered. If you can, try to get a car with ~110kilowatts or more. Those with only ~80 are a bit more sluggish, and since you're a member of this forum, I'm going to guess you want a bit more oomph than that :) If I had to give you a shortlist to check out - I'd say: - Volkswagen Golf Trendline (the cheaper model) or Polo (never looked into it, but VW make good cars, so check it out anyway) - Mistubishi Lancer - Ford Fiesta Not all 2nd hand cars are unreliable, if you look around yourself to find a couple of good cars, you might be able to convince your Dad otherwise.

Can't wait. We'll try not to scrutinize every frame this time :p

And how many of us have 3D TV's? Haven't they ever heard of patches or updates? Every time I try to start a game on the PS3 I can't b/c there's an update waiting for me which takes ages to download (I know you can ignore them and play offline)

Looks like 2010 is the year of the racing game. Blur Split-Second Veloticy F1 2010 World Rally Championship 2010 Gran Turismo 5 Test Drive Unlimited 2 rFactor2 (maybe 2011) Bring 'em on :)

What about those on the official forums that have since died (and then come back to life, and then died again, and so on for the past year)? :)

I guess you've never had to worry about profile corruption :) Nice stats

Hmm, they don't have a GTX 480 in the list of graphics cards. Picked a GTX 285 instead. Applied for PC or PS3 beta test.

If you're talking about buying a brand name computer (i.e. Dell, HP, etc) I'd honestly say: none. You pay nearly twice as much here for such a computer, and you spend the first hour or so uninstalling all the rubbish trial software they stick on the PC (each OEM is a bit different here). What you can do, however, is go to a PC parts shop, tell the shop people that you would like a fast PC that is able to play ________ game at Medium/High settings with a budget around $$$, and they can recommend the parts and build the PC for you (costs about $70 for them to build it in Australia). You can also buy extra warranty for a small fee as well. You end up saving a fair bit of money. Just make sure you ask for a version of Windows to be installed as well (which adds to the cost), you don't want to take home your brand new PC, and turn it on to find there's no Windows installed :) Some shops also have specific kits available where you save heaps more money, but you can't choose each part (i.e. they might have a Student setup, Home Office setup, Media Centre setup, Gaming setup, Hardcore setup). I got one of these for my parents last year, I couldn't belive how sweet the deal was.
