Sunday Evening Cruise (Hardcore Mode)

[identti]

Hi,

I'm making a return to TDU, as I'm tired of Forza on Xbox and love free cruising on Hawaii. Therefore I'm want to organise a hoon for this coming Sunday.

The details are shown below, and I'll just run through a couple of rules. Firstly, you should go by the "leave no man behind principle." By this I mean you should always try to keep the car behind you in you minimap view. However, if they crash, then just drop your pace and let them catch up.

I will be devising the route, and I will lead the cruise. You can overtake me, but make sure you are aware of which way to turn. I will write "L" or "R" depending on whether we are turning left or right at a given junction.

The planned route should incorporate some real windy roads, and some straight stuff too. Bear this in mind when picking a car - no one likes it when we constantly have to wait if you're crashing constantly.

Details:
Date: 16th March
Time: 7.30pm GMT
Meeting place: Koenigsegg/spyker dealership
Cars: Class G cars
Hardcore mode only

Hope to see you there!
Please register your interest or post any questions up here.

[JeronCradle]

I'll try and be there.
I don't know yet which car I'm gonna take, I prefer H-shifter cars so maybe caterham or 288gto.
But I drive untuned cars, don't really like the game with tuned cars it's more arcade more nfs-style.

[identti]

Thanks to everyone who came and drove smartly mdr1

Was good fun, except for when I got lost and we had to drive the wrong way down a motorway! Sorry guys.

:chapeau:

[penusliski]

Ok was cool while it lasted for me. Connection broke and has been no way for me to reconnect to you guys. Have been trying for more than half an hour, no go sour: Could it be a full session all the time? damn servers again :noooo:

[JeronCradle]

Yeah was good fun.
H mode definately rocks, you stick together better, it's more challenge and I lov the JUMPS mdr1 !!!! 10sur10

I took a pic of our start: (http://users.skynet.be/jeo/sundayCruise.JPG)

So, when's the next cruise?

Argh, they're so unreliable! Well, it was good whilst it lasted. People started dropping off after you were gone.

Nice pic, my two are below. Next cruise, maybe next weekend same time if that's ok for most people. Sunday night's are generally good for me (unless TopGear is on TV).

[hurstryan15]

It was cool :)

Sorry about my 220 mph bursts and wheel problems :(

I still think the worst thing about the game is the bumpiness of the mountain/back roads madred:

[Boulderpaul]

Apologies for not turning up, we had an impromptu FNS reunion cruise!

I'll catch you as soon as possible Identti :salut2:

[drivinscool]

Identti, those pictures look brill, you been playing with post processing/photoshop?

Twaz fun last night, sorry I had to leave early but I'd been out with the lads mountain biking all day and the wife was missing me, if ya know what I mean :nuts:

Same time next week?

Why no Monday night cruises?, there's nothing on telly.

Yeh, used photoshop to make the photos look better.

What type of mountain biking do you do? What bike?

Can't do monday nights as I have karate :respect:

[hurstryan15]

I'll stick my nose in about mountain biking; I do it too :)

I've got that Porsche bike, made from Carbon Fibre. Twas a birthday present from my dad. I tend to do cross-country, varied terrain stuff. Used to do downhill but decided it was too dangerous :)

Nice, I have a Kona Dawg Supreme, I like cross-country too, with some fast downhill stuff, off to Morzine this summer with the lads, then Wales in the autumn :bravo:

[identti]

Porsche bike sounds very nice, as does the Kona. I've never done Morzine but have been to Afan in Wales - it was brilliant.

I do XC, dirt jumping and skatepark. I have a flow drift for jumping and the park, and a trek bruiser for the XC side of things. The trek is falling apart now, although it does have some nice bits on it, it's in need of some TLC.

mdr1

[hurstryan15]

Can't do this sunday if you were planning to do it again. Can only do Thursday (tomorrow) :(

[JeronCradle]

I can do it almost everyday.

my xfire is JeronCradle.

[identti]

I can do it almost everyday.

my xfire is JeronCradle.

Ok, i'll add you. Might be on tonight for a cruise, but it won't be an organised one.

Pretty sure I'll do a cruise this Sunday though - car pack on the way :chapeau:

[Dustwave]

Seems like that was a fun cruise :)

Anyone up for another one like that tomorrow (sunday), same time, same place?

[drivinscool]

Yeah, what class of cars this time?
How about G ?

[Jessica_Wesker]

Cya guys there, and hopefully no connection problems.

[Chrisy76]

I'll be there too... :bravo:

That is 8.30 dutch time right? :D

[penusliski]

Me too, probably in Miura or Cobra, a mood dependent variably... :turning:

[identti]

[drivinscool]

Well, sorry guys, i could see you on the map but couldn't link up. Gave up at 20:05 :noooo:

[penusliski]

Don't u worry, I barely managed to connect after 15 minutes of 'jumpin' and lost connection very quickly. After that not a God himself couldn't reconnect me. This is starting to be so frustrating and If it stays like this I can't see any point in making any cruising arrangements. It's like the game wants to connect me to anyone BUT to someone I want to sour: :noooo: dark:

[JeronCradle]

Yeah, while i was trying to connect with identti suddenly i saw all these other players miles away. I was like wtf, if this game connects me to those people why not the ones right HERE? lol

This game really needs a party portal. Where you spawn to your friends in session, like in those mp races.

[Chrisy76]

Yeah, I was connected but forgot to switch to hardcore mode.

After that there was no way I could connect again :mad:

I followed the whole cruise on the map, clicking and clicking on the guys....

I think a hundred times :noooo:

[drivinscool]

shall we start a petition and send it to the developers? :atari:

[Dustwave]

Well, sorry guys, i could see you on the map but couldn't link up. Gave up at 20:05 :noooo:Me too :(

Next week again? :)

[drivinscool]

dunno :mefiant: , think i may give Sundays a miss from now on. Never have this problem on week nights.

[identti]

Sorry about the problems last night guys! Was not very successful as far as cruises go.


Might change the day to a weekday as drivinscool said, as I don't have so many problems. Can anyone do Tuesday night?

[penusliski]

Maybe I'll show up, at 1930GMT. G class again?

[drivinscool]

Tuesday could be good, can't meet at 7:30 though, I'll catch up with y'all just after 8pm.

That deffo for Tuesday?

[identti]

Sorry guys, can't do tonight or the rest of this week as I'm away. Hopefully will revive the cruise next week :atari:

[Camst648]

:salut2: hi guys i been reading this tread. it is a wile since i played this game now, but this sound like fun so i would like to join in on a cruise one time (or more). any time of day and any class will suit me fine. please keep posting here for next scedule / time and meeting place. hope to join you guys in there some day.

[DDDenniZZZ]

Nice cruising, I am free to cruise during daytimes, usually I am slow cruising as I usually am on my phone while I play on my G25.

See you guys soon.

[drivinscool]

Hi all, we gonna try tonight? :salut2:

[Jessica_Wesker]

ohhh why don't u make it tomorrow cuz i'm not gonna be here tonight but i wanna be in

[Chrisy76]

[drivinscool]

ok then can u make another one tomorrow ??? pls

A date is a date!

See you tomorrow night.

[Chrisy76]

So ok, in an hour right?

[Hellraizer51]

Hey can you make it for another class this time? I'm new to the game and I'd like to join you guys, but the current car I have is a Lamborghini Murciélago Coupe and it's group is A... Or you could make it both G and A or something like that. The only other car I have is too weak, it's a Saturn Sky and it's class is F. I only have it because of it being my "slave" car, meaning that I use it when I want to sell a vehicle and buy another.

[Jessica_Wesker]

A date is a date!

See you tomorrow night.

ok then give me more information please where what class and what time - make the car class A or B (both) i have a Lamborghini Gallardo SE and i think i'll be in with it

regards,
Jess

[drivinscool]
