    Good idea. Might as well install on both. New system has plenty of space.

    Thanks for the quick response! Yea, was just sitting here drafting my install plan and thought that maybe there might be less chance of a driver issue for the G-25 pedals (wheel still busted) and MS joystick with Win 7. So, Win 7 it is. :)

    Hey! Thanks for working on Project Paradise! I'll try it out when I can accomplish a major overhaul on this PC (see system specs below). I did pass the word to another old cruise mate about this.

    I can vouch for Windows 10. It's always worked fine for me there. Use both a little longer and see what you're most happy with :).

    Pretty much guaranteed to work on Windows 7, whereas for most of us it doesn't run at all on Windows 10! So yeah I'd say 7 :lol:

    Its me again.
     
    For some of you the addition of -whatever to the exefile target didn't function,
    because you did'nt leave a one letter space between the exefilename and the addition.
    Its got to be like this ''TestDriveUnlimited.exe -whatever'', not like,
    ''TestDriveUnlimited.exe-whatever'' .
    Otherwise for windows, the name would be not functional.
    It wouldn't even let you apply it like that.
    Maybe this information can be put into readme, and the first post.
    Nice day.

    It's not like it hasn't been done before, there are private servers for just about every game out there, same goes for mods. Most of TDU has been cracked and is moddable, if the right fans got involved, I think it would be entirely possible.

    Watch this video: http://s49.beta.photobucket.com/user/trilegdog/media/TDU/TDUProfileFix_zpsed54886c.mp4.html
     
    You can also download the video from here: http://www.gamefront.com/files/22438231/TDUProfileFix.zip
     
    Keep in mind that this video was created to explain how to change an off-line profile to an on-line profile, so the video is working with the first 50 positions, where you'll be working with the 51st through the ending positions, but the concept, and using Hex Workshop is the same. I'm sure that DJ would create a video or a "how to" guide with pictures if he had the time, but it is quite a time consuming task to create such things.
     
    Hope this helps.

    Here is the solution:
     
    Get any hex editor from the internet. Copy your online profile before that because what you are about to do could go wrong. Now you start hex editor. Go to tools , then choose file comparison.
     
    The program now needs you to confirm the 14 days trial version in some cases. In my case it was for free so i did it. Window comes up with 2 file directories to be selected. The one at the top is your source, playersave 1 file in your online profile, the one below is the destination/aim playersave 1 file in a newly created offline profile, you can call it the same name like your online one. If you want to do so, you'll have to delete your online profile first. Think of backuping all your pictures, music and bookmarks from your online savegame before doing so. You'll have to buy the first flat in the game and do the first race so it gets saved in your save game folder. Make a backup of it.
     
    If you have chosen the 2 directories click ok. The program now shows your online profile above the new offline one. There are many numbers. Click on the first number of your source so that the window at the top gets chosen. Then click edit then press go to offset. Type in 50. This will set the cursor in the file window to the 50th position in them numbers. Read the numbers just like written text while counting them to make sure there are 50 before the cursor.
     
    Now click and hold the cursor and drag a frame around all other numbers in the window. Just like you select more than one folder in windows. Make sure there are still 50 numbers before the selected frame. Now right click on the first number in the frame and select copy. Then you go to your destination window and select a frame just the same way like before in the source. Again right click on the first number of the frame, select paste. Then go to file and press save or save all.
     
    Now you go to your new offline profile savegame folder and copy all files from playersave 1 folder into your playersave 2 folder and replace all existing files while doing so. Now your offline profile should have all the progress of your online one. Including flats, your money, cars, their paint, mileage, the look of your character, everything. I am not responsible if it doesn't work for you, which if so doesn't matter because you sure did the backup copy before, like i told you. :-)
     
    I was so happy to not have lost all the 56 cars, especially my 46 000 km f430 and my character. Nice deeeeeey , hehe. Tinnio
