Firstly, I want to say a big THANK YOU to TurboLag. I got inspired by him and basically, this is his weather mod, but heavily modified.
 
 
So, this mod includes better textures (I'm not the author, couldn't find the author to this mod.).
SweetFX - modified it to give better look of the game
Weather mod:
 
The weather mod contains 3 different sunny days. 1 day with rain clouds, rain feeling.
 
The sunrise has 2 parts. The first part has a reddish feel, sun still isn't very powerful. It's quite dark outside.
The second part of the sunrise has a powerful sun. The sun is really bright. The sun rays are firstly orange and then transfer to pink. It is very beautiful.
 
After that follows the day. I've made 3 sunny days. They differ very little. Couldn't really get many ideas of what to do here. And don't get me wrong, the day is beautiful as well. But it's beautiful in a different way. It's very realistic. I've tried to make the colors good and the lightning good.
 
There is also a rainy/cloudy day. As rain isn't really possible in TDU, I've just made it with black rain clouds and rainy feel. This day is really beautiful as well. Maybe even more than the sunny days.
 
After the day passes, there is the sunset. Every single day, there is a new sunset. My favorite is the last one. Sunsets aren't as beautiful as sunrises, but the last one really stands out from the others in my opinion.
 
After the sun has fallen, follows the night. The night contains 2 parts. Moonlit and night. The moonlit is just for the transaction from day to night. It's not as dark. Sky isn't completely black, but dark blue. I made the nights, not as dark as other people make them. I've made a light around the car. It feels a little like headlights when you drive, but of course it's nothing near the night you can see in TDU 2.
 
 
 
 
If you have any suggestions on what should I do/add/change, PLEASE let me know. I'm always open for new stuff.
 
 
 
 
 
Screenshots are mostly from day,sunrise. I haven't made any screenshots of the night. Will probably add a video and some new screens soon.

To install, simply extract in your main TDU folder.

It is VERY important to set Anisotropic filtering to 16x. I did this in my Nvidia Control Panel. I'm not sure how it works on ATI, but this really improves the quality of the image.
 
 
 
Known bugs:
- Sometimes clouds don't appear. To make them appear, just enter Photo mode and change the hours a little, get back to what you were before and they'll appear (if the day has clouds. Not all days have clouds).
 
 
I can't really tell if this mod is making the game heavy or not. It runs over 100 FPS for me, but it might be different with a low-end or mid-end PC. Altho I don't think anyone will have trouble running a 7 years old game. :)

I think Atari is going out of business soon.

So you think there is no BRM in TDU ? Wrong !
 
BRM is the car that you can hear shortly during the game intro, just after the Eden logo !
I've made it for the GR1 because no one really knows how that car sounds, including myself...
I know, the idle is not great but I couldn't get anything better (I blame the TDU sound system)

Thanks for your comments.

Thanks for the clarification.
 
I foresee in the weeks and months ahead a resurgence in interest in TDU1 offlline and the need to tailor ones game to their own preferences. If a user server patch is developed, then TDU1 will be with us for a long time to come. If not, then we can fiddle with the off-lineversion of the game to our heart's content forever.
 
Look at Microsoft's Flight Simulator X. They discontinued the game in 2009 and the amount of DLC for it from 3rd party developers has only increased since then. This is partly because the game itself is easily obtainable and with our newer, faster computers, it actually runs better than ever. My paypal account has been very busy lately as I add mods to FSX and increase my disk space to accomodate the massive photo-scenery files that are being produced. On the other hand, Microsoft just laid off most of it's people at the Flight! studios here in Vancouver. Flight! was supposed to replace FSX but they went the same way as so many developers are doing, dumbing down the game to reach what they think is an expanded market and trying to charge for DLC. It didn't work for Flight! and it sure didn't work for TDU2.
 
What they haven't seemed to grasp is that if they have a good game concept that encourages people to invest time and money into, producing dumbed down, disposable versions of the game (like TDU2) doesn't reach the people they need to sustain it. The recent trend towards cheap mobile apps and facebook kids and housewives that are playing them will move on to other things once the novelty wears off.

humgoo, I think there's a bit of, how can I put it, the Iced Bullet touch in that tutorial. :lol:
 
Basically if you want to convert online to offline, create a dummy offline profile and copy the first 50 bytes across to your existing online profile (after backing up)
And vice versa, if you want to go offline to online, create a new online profile and copy the first 50 bytes to your existing offline profile.

I am sorry but TDU2 sucks, I won't be playing it. At least I can turn off the AI robot cars with the blue names in TDU1 offline mode. I should be fine but I will miss the community.
 
It's been an interesting saga these past years watching Atari completely fail.
