In the controller settings, you can fine tune the deadzones of all your steering inputs, camera controls, and throttle and brake mappings. You can even test the input in the menu to see them in real time. I’d recommend turning off reduced intervals (removes big deadzone that’s automatically applied) and setting all your deadzones as low as you can without getting stick drift. The settings will be different for each individual controller and you’ll have to change the settings for each direction. It’ll take a while to finesse everything to your liking but it’s worth it overall. If you’ve played any shooters on controller this won’t be new to you. Thought I’d tell you since I’ve seen a lot of misinformation in other videos and you have the bigger audience. Hope this helps somebody.

One thing I want to state. It seems like the Dev forgot that TDU series isnt a racing game series, its a driving game. I loved both TDU1 and 2 both i knew the driving physics in both were bad. I loved being able to buy and customize my own house, drive my friend around in a new car, or even manage my garage. In TDU2 you had like 5 different racing challenges but you akso had photos challenges, online clubs, package delivery, uber like missions and tailing missions. There would genuinely be days where I wouldnt race at all in TDU.
Tdu was always on mmo racer, but it's driving elements were unique because of the car's features like indicators, windows, etc. tdusc has gotten those features, so they haven't forgotten completely.
Well said. I played TDU 1 and 2. Even on TDU 1 without all of those extra's, I still enjoyed simply driving around and it wasnt all about racing for me.
Some cars in cockpit view has you feel like your avatar is sitting in the back seat while driving. You can bring the view closer by going to Camera under options and changing Driver - camera depth to -10. Note this will change the view for all cars, but you can tweak and adjust as necessary if you are a cockpit view purist. Another tip - you'll often find the collectibles by finding tracks that aren't marked on your map. Once you have found and collected it, hold Y on controller to respawn and it will put you back at the intersection of the main road, to save you having to drive all the way back.
The downforce tuning is counterintuitive to what you would think. Moving it negative increases downforce and moving it positive decreases downforce. Also in the menus most things have front top and rear bottom but a couple things are reversed (camber if i remember right) so just double check that youre adjusting the correct end of your car before you move the sliders
Thank you so much. I love this game and look forward to its glory days. However, bumpy as the road may be. We will eventually get there, in the end. LETS GO TEST DRIVE🤙🥂💯👍💪
I just bought the Gold Steam version for $37 USD and it is great fun with nice detailed gfx, the HK map is huge and varied, so I really cannot understand the stupid level of hate it's getting. However I did have major problems setting up my Simucube wheel & HE clone pedals, very badly programmed as the input devices are picked up and conflict with each other to take control. This part is a real mess and getting it to work was very hit or miss, this should have been fixed by now. I hope more gamers pick it up as there is a really good racer in there.
I picked this game (gold edition) up for $52, i've been having fun in the game n havnt had many issues. (performance/server wise). The game played a hell of a lot better once i learned how to turn on manual and turn off assists. (except i found i had to keep 50-75% ABS). I went w/the Nissan starter car, n love how that thing handles (just hard throwing it around n ebrake turning).. but the AI in the circuit race events... i stand no chance. I just bought the Audi before i quit the game cuz i saw a challenge to buy a daily driver car early on, n i knew that car was a strong one, so hopefully i can beat those lower level circuit races now. That nissan for sure loses a lot of time n speed when you throw it in a lil too hard n get the back end a lil loose, n have to get ur momentum going again. When i played the demo, i used the Alpine, i enjoyed that car. But i wanted to try a diff car this time, n i enjoyed the nissan when i test drove it. HOPEFULLY this game can recover from the rough start. I loved TDU games n set the benchmark for what i wanted out of open world racing games n have been sad no other game really captured that same magic to me. Horizon 1, was a huge letdown for me when that came out. I do enjoy the horizon series, and i'm sad TDU chose to not go the direction of their past which made it great, w/the houses n better car dealership experience. (tho it's been a long time since i played that game, i guess the ones now dont do too bad of a job). N the lack of car customization is a lil disappointing.
I have a problem with some of the sports cars being very slidey. When moving quickly from side to side, the car tends to fishtail a lot. It doesn't matter if I am on or off the throttle. I feel like a car like the Ford GT with semi slicks shouldn't slide like that simply from changing lanes. Is it possible to tune this out? I know adding a ton of downforce will help, but then I will lose every race due to the lack of speed.
I would recommend NOT doing too much map exploration until you reach level 35 or 40, the XP needed to increase levels increases as you progress. Nothing wrong with discovering the destinations (gas stations, meeting points, dealerships) as you can use those to fast travel to
I did my first 30 levels or so with just exploration. Then I started with the races and the list you get. Made it to where you get the Crown Jewels did some of them and a couple of races that gave extra xp for the achievement and hey it's level 60 😅
I don't want to be a rocket scientist in order to play a videogame. I love The Crew 2, there is options to fine tune the cars there, but I do Not Need to in order to enjoy the game or driving of the vehicles. In Solar Crown it sounds like you need a Mechanic Degree in order to Fine Tune the car in order to not be a horrendous car. The cars handle like a nightmare. If I try and Fine Tune, I will just break it and make it even worse. Its a Videogame. The Default should be on Fun and Playable. Instead turning corners means Sliding a Brick across Ice. What was the driving style you said, something something Sim? Where did you find this model? This needs to be labelled on the front package of the game, because this label sounds like the Number 1 Most Important Factor of whether a "Racing" Game will be Fun or NOT. The Crew 2: Fun. Solar Crown: $137 Nightmare Pile of Garbage.
@@dibidibadibidibou Must be a matter of preference. I also think Gran Turismo is horrendous as well. (for point of reference). [Though I haven't played Gran Turismo since like PS2] Also, I am not using a Steering Wheel, just a regular old teeny tiny joystick (in case that's how you play). Fun Fact, this game was so bad, it actually encouraged me to play The Crew Motorfest, and now I'm happy with Motorfest. I used to hate the Motorfest game trials I would try, mostly over the concept of moving from an entire country down to 1 island was ridiculous to me, but since being disgusted at myself for blindly purchasing TDSC, I figured I'd give Motorfest another shot, and it is a million times better than TDSC. Lol, perspective shift. I'm just looking at like its an Expansion Pack for Crew 2. But yah, no, most people seem to complain about TDSC over server issues, but I could care less about server issues, the game itself is like playing something made by Roblox. The handling is nothing immersive, it might as well be a turn-based top-down-view game. I could get over it if they had somewhere to drive to, like the Clothes Store (that I was expecting, I think due to the older Test Drive games, which honestly I can't even remember was a thing, maybe I just got it in my head somehow). TDSC is very void of life. Actually Motorfest is seemingly void of life too, where are all the people, and the wildlife, its Hawaii, where is all the ocean life?? Crew 2 has wildlife everywhere.
Really appreciate the video, but I don't think it was necessary to point out the Merc as one of the vehicles you unlock for finding the wrecked cars around the map. Takes away some of the joy of personal discovery for those of us that haven't got round to buying. Outside of that, some useful insights!
You gave some nice advises. I'm having some issues with the game. I think the server was down and it made me bought 6 same cars. Unfortunately, i can't sell the car. Also one race glitches, i tried several times no luck with that. Now i want to restart the whole game. Is there any way to do that? I couldn't find any way to do that.
@@DRIIVE34 in Accessibility settings go to ‘Controllers’. In here, you’ll find a range of settings that let you adjust the ‘Trigger Effect Intensity’ and whether to disable haptic feedback.
Supers gets a bit more complex, the MC20 or F-type if you have one of the special editions are very good, if not then the Lambo SVJ (at lvl 40) or the Audi R8 ('18) are pretty strong picks. The Caterham Seven 620 is also good for high speed time trials, but not at all for races or tighter events.

Left and right on the D pad is not used. Assign them to your indicators for quick use.

Excellent. Thanks. I'm level 30 and still learning how the game works. FRIM by the way stands for "Free roam instant money".
Yeah I will wait 1-2 years until the game is finished. Maybe till then Forza realizes the potential and becomes the TDU we always wanted

U would off on had problems on early launch cos i did
I got the mustang cause it sounded so good! I'm not having much trouble. Don't forget to tune up your performances.

Buy the Lambo SV you won't have that problem I had the McLaren p4 and is amazing but the Lambo SV is the best sport
Slicks solved it for me. Made them driveable even without traction control on dry roads. And 25% or 50% in the wet.
I hope they improve camera movement at low speeds.
i hate that i have to buy a specific car that i dont want to not struggle as bad
Agreed, the car balance definitely should be adjusted

That’s because your abs is really low or your braking to late. Remember slow in, fast out plus take a better trajectory into the turn.
