Yeah, that drives me crazy, too. It's fun driving around, but those bumpy parts really ruin the fun.

Agreed totally...You gotta take it slow, but their is a way. Just takes practice!!

I'm oersonally not a fan of mountain racing...I like my flat roads and nice, long corners. That's why my favourtie areas are the city, and the speedway.

yeah those physics really ruin the game, I'm waiting for forza motorsport 2- That wont have crap physics if its anything like the first one

Yeah, that is VERY annoying... Guess they forgot to add suspension simulation to the game.

For those that were wondering, after upgrading to 7600GT the fps suddenly at least doubled:
I'm running the game at 1280x1024 and the fps is at least 40 all the time, a bit more when there's not much stuff to see. I'm using high settings with no HDR nor AA.

Ahhh...You guys with your PCs... :-P

I have an Xbox 360, and for some odd reason, TDU runs at 60fps all the time, and in HD ;-P

Just kidding guys. But yeah, I could see it being a bit of a bummer on a lower-end PC. There is alot of purdy stuff in the game, and I reckon it'd suck down video-memory like an Ethiopian with McDonalds.

EDIT: here is some pics of the merc, the smoothing is all messed up as u can see.

interesting. is there a way to have a stab at the scenery texture in the game?
i'd like to change a few of those to something better and / or higher res stuff
in general.
don't care about the models - for now

Hey guys,

I was doing what any normal person does in TDU by driving a Lambo Gallardo off-road when I came across this hologram of the letter 'e'...It's on the top of this cliff on the Eastern side of the map, and I have no idea what it does...If someone can find a map, I'll mark on it exactly where it is.

If anyone knows what this is, let me know, a'ight?

**EDIT**

It's a teleporter to a small island off the coast!! Yew!!

I did a quick search on google, and this is what I found about that Island:

YouTube - Test Drive Unlimited - Manana Island Easter Egg

It's pretty much a single road on that island, and when you hit the "Return to the Road" button it will automatically put you back at that teleporter on the island.

EDIT - I found another vid about that island that also shows how to get into the airports
