Hello 🙂
Here is a complete tutorial of adding new cars in TDU. Believe me, it's easy when you get the process in mind and when you understand how it work. Don't be afraid. 👹
So, you gonna be able to use different sets of rims and choose many as you like ingame ! Just like the Mercedes CLK 55 AMG. And you can customize your new slots to your own taste like the wheel size, the names of the rims and many more options. 😎 
EDIT June 2019: DO NOT FOLLOW EVERY STEP IN THE VIDEO DOWN BELLOW BECAUSE THEY ARE A FEW PROBLEMS THAT COULD CAUSE MESSING UP THE DATABASE. FOLLOW THE WIKI GUIDE UP THERE !
Also here are the plans for this MEGA Tutorial:
Write a complete tutorial for the old method in the wiki guide. Explaining the database [DONE], Add a line into the database [DONE], Convert crypted db files into readable hex format with TDUUT [DONE], Add the Bnk files into the game [TO DO], Add values into the Database [TO DO], Change the values to make your slot unique from the original copy [TO DO], Make the added slot getting recognize by TDUMT and TDUPE [TO DO], Add colors and a place in the dealer for your newly added slot in TDUMT [TO DO], Create Physics in TDUPE for the newly added slot [TO DO]. Make a video of how to add a car in the game with the help of TDUF (new method). The written guide already exist:   
ARCHIVE:
 
Here is what you need
 
Project Paradise
TDU Modding Tools
TDUPE
TDU UT
TDUF
Notepad
If you don't have Microsoft Office to edit CarData.mdb, here is a free software to open the mdb file: MDB Viewer Plus
 
What are you doing exactly when you add a car ? Why ? How ? (Science of modding)
 
- You simply add a new slot in the database. Add a line at the end of the Notepad does add a car in the database. That's it. But you need to modify the line to make it unique otherwise the game gets confuse.
- Even if the car exist in the database, the car doesn't exist in the files even if you add them directly in the Bnk folder. The Bnk1.Map is there to control all the files ingame and doesn't allow any other file. So that's why it is important to Map the file in Bnk1.Map with TDUF because it will accept your new Bnks. It's like the old Grey cars in TDUMT (Chevy Cobalt, Corvette '63, Audi A4 Touring Car...), the database exist but not the Bnks and only a modification of Bnk1.Map via TDUF make the new files being accepted.
 
 
More detail about the database:
 
For the references, the Values MUST BE ALL DIFFERENT ! Otherwise the game crash. To be safe when you copy a line of a car, add a 2 in front of the reference number. The Audi RS5 is a copy of the Maserati GranSport and the Mercedes SLS AMG is a copy of the SLR Mclaren. Add a 2 separate the original slot to your new slot.
 

 
-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __
 
Same for the ID Number. It MUST be different to any other car. To be safe, start the ID Number from 2040. If you want to add another car later, Name it "2041". Again another car, name it "2042" and etc... As an example, I've added the Audi RS5 previously so that's why I put "2041" for the SLS.
 

 
-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ --
 
+1 the original number of the items so your new slot will appear when you open TDUMT's Database.
 

 
-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __
 
For the rims, you can add many as you like. For example, I've added 3 sets of rims for my RS5 and two for my SLS. Just copy the line of a rim and paste many as you like. Make sure they all have different reference number ! And to be safe, change the first number of the reference to a 4 to avoid conflict with other rims.
 

 
-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __
 
YES ! You can modify the size of your wheels :nuts:
 

 
-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __
 
When you add names in DB Editor:
 

 
- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __ -- __-- __
 
Here is the result. One SLS, 2 rims 😄
 

 

 
ENJOY 🤪

Right, Open TDU Modding Tools, Click "Patches":
 

 
Then click "File" > "Open Patch".
 

 
A new window appear, select the file you've download who's inside the .rar
 

 
Then click Generate and Select your main Test Drive Unlimited folder in /Programes Files/Atari/Test Drive Unlimited.
 
After that, Test > Run Patch
 

 
A new window appear, Click on the blue arrow. Just like a normal car installer.
 

 
Then you are done ! :) Patch is installed. But it's not completely finish yet.
 
Remember, all the cars set to the dealers will disappear. So what you have to do is reset them. Open Vehicules Manager > Select Any car by double clicking > select dealer > Scroll down in "1", select any dealer > select any free slot, that's 2 > click on set, that's 3, and click SAVE !!! That's 4. Done :) Easy !
 

 
And the great thing is you can add so many more cars in the different dealers. Like Dodge, in the past you could use only 2 slots, now you can use 7 ! Isn't it that beautiful ;) Enjoy !

For your convenience:
 

dayumn laa. very nice

I've the same problem, the game doesnt crash just freezes there in the challenge screen. I've googled about it and some guy said it's a firewall issue, which I turned off but no help. :|

Known bug(s);
- If you change either of data of 370Z and 370z nismo, there is a bug that also affect the other data. The same phenomenon will occur even Spyker D8 and D12.
Only the above two sets of the above issues have been identified.

Since TDU1 is back online, The Crew is coming up and TDU2 server hasn't been working for a while I decided to share what I'd done for the next release before we stopped working on it. Changelog:

- BAC Mono: new BAC engine sound (the old one was from Ariel) - Saleen S5S Raptor: idle sound is now looping smoothly - TVR Cerbera Speed 12: new engine sound (so the startup sound won't blow your ears anymore)
 
DOWNLOAD
Set your TDU2 unpacked root folder as the installer's path.

very good step taken :D

I only have BF3 :(

IIRC one or two members abandoned the project, so i think the next versión will take more time to be released
 
Anyway, the keyword is PATIENCE, these guys do it for free, and is an excellent job i should say, given that the game isn't as easily moddable as, let's say, Race '07. For those who love the game and has been hooked since the very beginning, UP is a blow of fresh air, and even if we never see a new version of the Patch, they've done for TDU2 A LOT more that Atari let Eden Games to do.

The raffle process is going to involve an old set of playing cards (my grannies :D ), tduck and a mess. The way it's going to be done is every final entrant will have a card associated with them as you can see below - those who got the QUALITY bonus have two cards - and after a good shuffle I will basically 52-card-pickup them and the card closest to tduck will be the winner of a beta key.
 
There are 24 cards in total due to the 22 final entrants and the 2 extra for the QUALITY bonus.
 
We will do this until all 10 codes are gone.

1) Rocky Clarence 1 2 IN King Hearts 2) KabumDa 1 2 IN King Spades 3) MrLolololXD 1 2 IN King Diamonds 4) bartuczk 1 2 IN King Clubs 5) X8X8X 1 2 IN Queen Hearts 6) TheXRacer 1 2 IN Queen Spades 7) nicram7666 1* 2 IN Ace Hearts / Ace Spades 8) Antitenant 1 2 IN Queen Diamonds 9) bab 1 2 IN Queen Clubs 10) Destroyer-GT 1 2 IN Jack Hearts 11) DanMcRea 1 2 IN Jack Spades 12) Eeshan 1 2 IN Jack Diamonds 13) Pca9 1 2 IN Jack Clubs 14) zeldapkmn 1 2 IN 10 Hearts 15) mcwaller123 1 2 IN 9 Spades 16) FoxyM 1 2* IN Ace Diamonds / Ace Clubs 17) sonuyos 1 2 IN 8 Diamonds 18) Mr.Butt Woman 1 2 IN 7 Clubs 19) Zed_Chris 1 2 IN 6 Hearts 20) Nesquick_xD 1 2 IN 5 Spades 21) dukie85 1 2 IN 4 Diamonds 22) RRacer 1 2 IN 3 Clubs *denotes the QUALITY bonus winners
 
We will make a post for each winner.
 
GOOD LUCK!

oh thank you :3
 
Here's more to torture your eye Ryzza5 XD

There are two dealerships for the european supercars on each island. The second one on Ibiza is far in the east of the island in a dead end road, this one contains the Bugattis. On Hawaii it's a dealer directly at the west coast, some miles south of the lighthouse. Both of them dealers were added with the original Atari DLC2 patch in summer 2012.
 
Same to the Ferraris, the two 430 Scuderia (Spider and Coupe) are also at a dealersip that was added within the DLC2 patch.
 
I added some maps, so you can find the showrooms easier.
The Bugattis are in no. 21 on Ibiza and in no. 1 on Hawaii.
The Ferrari Scuderia is in no. 16 on Ibiza and in no. 3 on Hawaii
 

Your reputation clearly tells who the retard is.

Calm down, your comment is just ridiculous.

Since I got rid of the problem. Still few pixelated edges, TDU2 photomode sucks anyway.
Aston Martin DBS w Vossen

Tried that, same quality :(
 
@Ryzza5:

 
Gonna try this method asap XD
