All opinions are welcome but we would appreciate a more friendly tone than this.    
If someone genuinely wants to improve the experience for the community based on what others have already modded then that's great.  If someone appears to only want Internet fame then it seems that most people here will detect and resent that.  If you wish to continue discussing the topic I would suggest doing so in a new thread, so that this one is kept only for discussing TDU Platinum.

A nocd patch is not needed for the securom issue. And since the nocd patch caused other issues in the past, i'd say deactivating the compatibility for internet explorer 11 in windows 10 is the better solution.
 

Well I blinked and missed this bit... 
I've played and streamed TDU via project paradise a couple of times using my old profile in the last few months. Not really had much time for games recently until I saw the YT video... Sat there with my chin on my desk for a while and tonight finally did the download.
So impressed, utterly gobsmacked, Milli and the whole team involved with keeping this alive. 
Thought i'd log in and say this before I start to play with the game files. That may have to wait as it's nearly 1am here in the UK.
Once again you have my thanks, who would have thought this was possible after Atari killed the servers all those years ago.
To Ryzza, Pogo, Duke and all the sunday night cruisers, I'm hopeful to see you all once again on Oahu. Time to go and recreate some of those hardcore stunts we all used to love.
 
EDIT... I just looked at my user profile... 9 years since I signed up for TDUC 🙄 OMG
TDU first played in 2007, Ace project done and reading through the install notes it appears I have to sell all 165 cars  😞  Is this still required or is there a work around which will allow me to keep all my current assets?

I have uploaded it for you.

One thing I don't like so much about FH games is that you often have to tune cars up so much to be competitive online that they lose their enjoyable handling characteristics. This was never an issue in TDU.

I stumbled across this video which shows just how revolutionary our beloved Test Drive Unlimited game was (for 2006-7).  Fast forward 12 years later and some of these features are yet to be given to Forza players:
 
 
And before you go on about how FH4 has winter...  😉

 
What are some of your favourite features from older games like TDU1 that you'd like to see make a comeback?

Hey everyone - just a quick note of thanks to you all for just being nice on the forums and not causing too much grief with discussing the various mods and technical difficulties.  It must be all those chilled Hawaiian vibes floating around here.  🍍 😄

.
 

I'm currently working on a new version, I may just add that one. Since I saw something Milli did that I was thinking of trying out and opened up a couple of opportunities, plus I'm working on some visibility improvements, so I can upload that when it's done.

Could you also add this to the Downloads section of this website for others with beefy PC's?

Welcome to the duck!

I stumbled across this video which shows just how revolutionary our beloved Test Drive Unlimited game was (for 2006-7).  Fast forward 12 years later and some of these features are yet to be given to Forza players:
 
 
And before you go on about how FH4 has winter...  😉

the 4K at 60 FPS they claim at stage is certainly do-able
but number one thing they avoid talking about ... how much is the input lag !?? maybe when 5G comes out it will help
and then there is unbox therapy (well yes i know he doesn't know shit about how tech works) talking about it and said "no input lag" "streaming is not downloading" ... how???

It hasn't been merged yet?

there was some conflict over our official discord which I won't go into details, in short some culture clash from merger because one member doesn't want to see certain content. I want to take this opportunity to address the decision behind merger:
there are multiple reasons for merger, one is both communities are dying, it is easier to pour resources to revive one than both
cost is another factor, lot of web services and application license fees are tied to the domain, essentially paying double amount
third is development burden, when patch, adding new feature, configuration, APIs, custom themes, modules, server, social / email marketing, templates, group control will otherwise require double amount of dev time
fourth is human resources, it is much easier to recruit on a larger community, and the activities attract other activities
I have expected some clash due to merger, Facebook has billions of users, you can't expect all of them share same interests, and I have carefully structured categories based on different need and interest, and those who doesn't like can avoid them
it is human nature to fear changes, especially when introduced in their comfort zone, but imagine if I left TDuck of what it was, what it is gonna happen in another couple years? think about it.
It is far easier to manage one community than two, especially they now share same system. I remain positive that the benefit of merger and recent changes far far outweigh any drawback

Dear all members,
 
Well Yes, I know the anniversary post is a month late now, I have been doing marathon of coding both at work and at home.
Finally to bring you this major update since the complete system overhaul. (Did you know both site's anniversary is in February? What a coincident!)
 
+ Added new home page which will pull latest feed from every area of the site

+ Added Discord login, BOT that will auto post new content

+ Added Facebook, Twitter login, user can optionally share to Twitter when making new content
+ Added Steam login, this will add a tab on your profile page showing off your libraries
(The integration will obey your Steam account privacy setting)

Note: for existing user logging in through above services, the system will check account exist or not
If it does not identify you, go to account setting and select platform to sync

+ Added dark theme as default (to switch, select theme at the bottom of page, due to compatibility issue, light theme is currently unavailable and will be added on a later date)
+ Added Animated Gif support on editor

* Guest can now post content before registration prompt
They will then have up to a week to finish registration with reminder

+ A new staff pick page is added with content hand pick by admins and mods,
These content will also be shown at homepage block, social media and news letter recommendation

* News section is back, which allow anyone to add / edit records
Currently four categories are available
(It follows wiki style editing meaning anyone can adjust each record and it saves history of modifications)

* Donators from old TDuck all received a free VIP subscription
Currently PayPal only but more support will be added
* Consolidated unused, lesser traffics or unnecessary forums
* Latest patches that applied many improvements and bus fixes
 
I did not make a full explanation in previous announcement and the question has been brought up few times, so I made a formal thread about the reasons behind merger
 
Lastly we are hiring freelance tech blogger who can write How to guide, tech explanation etc in fields of Internet of things, Computers and Mobile devices (General software related), this is paid role with forum benefits, if you're interested, please send me a PM
 
Any feedback welcome!
