New wheels in on-line game

Is it possible to upgrade alloys without it affecting the on-line game access?

Here you go.


- Rim Swapping:
This is a very simple process, and requires a bit of "trial and error". You can only replace any rim file by another which is smaller in file size (bytes).

Make sure you back up everything, unless you want to have to reinstall TDU when you decide the rims don't look as good.

Step 1
Find the rims you wish to move to another car - and copy. [I will be placing my 'SKYGTR_F_01.bnk' Skyline rims on the 575 Maranello in this demonstration]

'C:\Program Files\Atari\Test Drive Unlimited\Euro\Bnk\Vehicules\Rim\Nissan'

Step 2
Find the rims you wish to replace - paste the replacment rims into the folder and delete the rims you wish to change [I will be deleting the 'F575_M_F_01.bnk' 575 Maranello rims and copying the 'SKYGTR_F_01.bnk' Skyline rims into the Ferrari Folder]

'C:\Program Files\Atari\Test Drive Unlimited\Euro\Bnk\Vehicules\Rim\Ferrari'

Step 3
Rename the Copied rims to the name of the deleted rims. [I've renamed the copied 'SKYGTR_F_01.bnk' Skyline rims to 'F575_M_F_01.bnk' (575 rims)]

'C:\Program Files\Atari\Test Drive Unlimited\Euro\Bnk\Vehicules\Rim\Ferrari'

And there you have it. Rims have been swapped.

Cheers, i'll give it a go.
Sure this won't get me kicked out of online gameplay as 'cheating'?

Nope. I permanently have a few changed.

However I cannot be held to blame if you do :p

However it is 0.0000001% you will get caught.

I didn't. And then it dawned on me that the Aston Martin V8 Vantage's fake sound WOULD 100% drive me mad. tonguegre

Also, Atari Germany recently announced that it was fine to make small mods like body swapping, rim swapping, sound modding, and the night and fog mods. I'm assuming that sometime soon the other branches of Atari will release something similar...
