Re: Test Drive unlimited - handling editor / editing / hack

Hey Sethioz, long time no speak :) Sorry, I tried to PM you but got a nasty error! I've been thinking about my TDU physics mod post. We discussed converting it to a stand-alone document, but I'm updating it fairly regularly so this would be a pain. Do you reckon it's worth putting a link to my post ...

Re: Test Drive unlimited - handling editor / editing / hack

FYI, just adjusted Veyron acceleration and top speed for v1.2 of the Veyron model, which also resolved the 'stuck revs' issue! (Veyron now at v2.2).

Re: Test Drive unlimited - handling editor / editing / hack

In addition to what Sethoz said, there are also a number of things which will 'limit' your RPMs. At high speed in top gear you may find that drag (or the 1000km/hr game engine limit) is the reason why your RPMs don't increase anymore, however, if you also have the RPM issue in neutral, it may just b...

Re: Test Drive unlimited - handling editor / editing / hack

Another option is to reduce the coefficient drag to nothing and then reduce the power, this may help you get to the high speeds you're wanting without having to have too much power.

Have you tried increasing the downforce on the bike? You could also try playing with the front/rear weight distribution, but that could result in some.... interesting... handling characteristics...

Re: TDU Savegame Hacking

Unfortunately the only way to change rank is to do something like buy a car (to complete a collection challenge) or do a race. Buying a car was the challenge with the least save game changes that I could find. I thought about changing the differences, but it's pretty hard to know what to change (how...

I'm after some help modding the AIConfig.xml file. I'm trying to enable the option which makes cops chase you when you speed. Apparently the PS/2 version has this enabled and I've heard a rumor about a old mod which did this, but for the life of me I can't re-create it (or find the old mod). If I co...

I mean that you can't connect if you modify the performance parameters in the game files themselves. I understand that you can modify them in memory. Atari have stated that they will ban people who cheat.

You can't sync to the online servers using if your game files have modified performance parameters. Also if you did manage to do so, you'd get banned for cheating.

I had a thought. The current 999km/hr 'limit' may be just a display thing, ie; the speedo can't display more than 999km/hr. I didn't think about that before so I wasn't looking to see if the car was actually going any faster after the speedo hit 999... EDIT: Ok, tried that again and it doesn't seem ...
