Here is a rough preview. It's not even a months worth of progress. [Clickety Click]

I have a rough understanding of 3D concepts due to school and OG help from Nobby on teaching me basic concepts back in the day. I'm learning something new every time I work on the mod

I'm a beta tester as well. In addition to beta testing I'm making my first car mod. An Acura Integra Type R with a JDM front end conversion (what I drive in irl haha)

 Hello everybody,

some days ago i shortly talked about this challenge with Nobby.

"Luna's Big Island Tour"


Luna just gave me all facts i need to "promote" this challenge here. He reloaded the challenge today on both tables at the crc (public and private). Everybody can particpate at the public table.

At first here the factsheet and a screenshot of the lap:




It a race around the hole island of oahu, more extensive and longer than the last cuprace on hawaii.
- Distance: 240,9 kilometers (official declaration according to the crc-factsheet, but in reality 249,7 kilometers)
- Start/Finish Casino at Honolulu
- 1 Lap
- 50 Checkpoints
- no carclass-/car-specification (detailed explanation you can see below)
- no Traffic
- no Penalties
- no Charge
- no Price (for ingame-friends and clubmembers, Luna3009 offers 400.000 $ price at the privat-table.)
- uploadtime 5 days

In the first place the race was and should be considered as a testingground for all cars and bikes. Luna's goal was it to create a lap around oahu with all possible conditions. The lap has long extended highwaypassages, normal countryroads, "crawling" coastroads, cityroads and some "mean" checkpoints . The only missing terrain is offroad, but that would be a torture for all the tarmac-bolides.

Which cars are allowed?

Allowed are all cars, which are in a predefined carclass. That means all cars except the AI-traffic-cars. So you can choose every normally buyable car and bike, every dlc-car, both casino-cars, every clubcar, every police-car, every drivingschool-car and every not allready released but available car (e. g. Audi R8 R-Tronic, Koenigsegg CCXR Solarcrown).

Important: Tuning is allowed up to Lvl4 (including bikes, ferraris and clubcars). Mods are allowed as long as they are only of optical nature. Every other modifications on carphysics, speed or other technical carfacts or any other cheats are strictly prohibited. All laptimes which look like they where driven with any of this mechanisms or even were proven to be cheated will not be noticed in the "Hall of Fame". Guilty drivers will be banned from every future challenge. If laptimes hardly differ from recently driven times we (that means Luna an me) we will request a prove that the time was driven without cheating, it's then up to the player to prove it. Please notice that we can not count a screenshot as proof. We all know here what's possible with photoshop. If the lap was driven with a modded car, the time will be noticed for the car that the mod replaces. (e. g. Nissan Skyline R34 GTR will be noticed as Audi R8 Spyder)

I will collect all laptimes of you here in the first post, sorted by class and one general timetable. Please try to post every laptime you have driven, cause when you absolve more than one lap within the time the challenge is uploaded, only the best time will be screened at the crc. Additionally Luna and i will keep an eye on both timetables at the crz. Luna will notice all laptimes at our german forum parallel (i will inform him about the times i collect here).

Quote Luna3009:
"I had nothing but positive feedback regarding the challenge since i released it for the first time. So that motivates me to provide the track to more new players. I have an open ear for every improvement suggestion, comments and feedback. Just test it and have fun!"

Here is the current referencetime (driven by DonnieBrasco) valid for public and private table

RUF RGT, Lvl4, 57'20"60 min. (5/7/14)

[Clickety Click] last Update Aug. 04th 2013 (little notice: the homepage is in german but should be self-explanatory)

We are on the way to 500 driven laps, big thanks to all drivers from Luna3009

General Timetable "TDUMods.com" (Here are all times listed, that were posted in this thread)
Spoiler:


Here are some closing words from me: In our german forum we have allready noticed allready 230 Laptimes driven by 49 players. I myself drove 77 Laps with 66 different cars.

I hope you like the challenge and especially the idea behind this challenge, and we will see many good times. And feel free to comment your opinion.:)

greetz Donnie

Edit 1: little Addition:

At the public table you will find the challenge easier when you filter this way:




Edit 2: here's the german description to this challenge:

Quote Luna:
Hallo zusammen

Da sich ja nun inzwischen schon in einigen anderen Themen Diskussionen über mein CRZ-Rennen "The Big Island Tour" breitgemacht haben, nehme ich gerne den Hinweis wahr und versuche das Ganze mal hier als Challenge vorzustellen

Am Besten fange ich erstmal mit den Eckdaten der Herausforderung an.
Es handelt sich um ein Rennen um die gesamte Insel Oahu, noch umfangreicher und länger als das letzte Pokalrennen des Hawaii-Pokals.
- Länge: 240,9 Kilometer (Edit: offensichtlich scheinen es ca. 250km zu sein, zumindest sagt das der Unterschied im Tachostand nach dem Rennen)
- Start/Ziel am Casino in Honolulu
- eine Runde
- 50 Checkoints
- keine Fahrzeugklassen-/Fahrzeug-Vorgabe (detaillierte Erklärungen dazu siehe weiter unten)
- kein Verkehr
- keine Strafen
- kein Einsatz
- kein Gewinn (Für Freunde und Clubmitglieder lass ich jedoch 400.000 Ingame-Dollar springen. Einfach dafür am rechten Schalter nachsehen )
[Edit] Ich hab die Belohnung am Freunde/Club-Schalter erhöht auf 444.500 Dollar, was nach Abzug der Ersteller-Provision nun so ziemlich genau 400.000 Dollar Auszahlung für den Sieger ergeben sollte )
[/Edit]

Und so sieht das Rennen aus: Screenshot siehe oben

Das Rennen ist in erster Linie nicht erstellt worden, um hohe Gewinne auszuspielen, sondern um Autos auf Herz und Nieren auszutesten. Dabei habe ich versucht, so viele der verfügbaren Gegenbenheiten zu verbauen, wie möglich. Lange ausgedehnte Highwaystrecken sind genau so vorhanden wie normale Landstraßen, sich schlängelnde Küstenstraßen, Stadtverkehr und fies gesetzte Checkpoints Die einzige fehlende Komponente ist Offroad, das wäre meiner Meinung nach eher eine Zumutung für die doch recht stark überwiegenden Asphalt-Boliden.

Wer darf mitfahren und welche Autos darf man nehmen?
Erlaubt sind alle Fahrzeuge, die sich einer definierten Fahrzeug-Klasse zuordnen lassen. Das sind also alle, außer denen, die als KI-Verkehr die Insel unsicher machen. Das schließt auch ein: Bikes, Clubfahrzeuge, alle Polizei-Autos, Fahrschul-Autos, natürlich alle DLCs und alle bisher nicht veröffentlichten, aber bereits fest einer Klasse zugeordneten Fahrzeuge (bisher Nissan 370Z Nismo, Audi R8 RTronic).
Tuning ist erlaubt bis maximal Stufe 4, auch bei Bikes, Clubfahrzeugen und Ferraris.

Mods sind erlaubt, solange diese sich auf optische Eigenschaften beschränken.

Modifikationen von Physik (Fahrphysik, Geschwindigkeit [Speedhack], sonstige technische Fahrzeugdaten, Zeit-Cheats, Anti-Beschädigungs-Modifikation und Ähnliches) sind stengstens untersagt. Alle Zeiten, bei denen solche Mechnismen mit größer Wahrscheinlichkeit verwendet oder sogar nachgewiesen wurden, werden nicht in die Hall-of-Fame übernommen, die Fahrer werden künfitg bei allen Rennen ausgeschlossen.

Wenn Zeiten sehr stark von bisher gefahrenen Zeiten abweichen, liegt die Beweislast, dass hier keine Modifikation verwendet wurde, beim Fahrer selbst. Ein Screenshot nach dem Zieleinlauf zählt dabei nicht als Beweis, da die Screens ja auch nur anzeigen, was man auch in der aktuellen Bestenliste im CRZ sehen kann und obendrein sehr leicht grafisch manipuliert werden können.
Wenn die Runde mit einem ins Spiel gemoddeten Auto gefahren wird, dann wird die Endzeit für das Fahrzeug übernommen, welches durch das gemoddete ersetzt wurde.

Bisher habe ich nur positiven Zuspruch zum Rennen erhalten, was mich natürlich sehr freut. Umso größer ist die Motivation, auch anderen Fahrern diese Strecke vorzustellen. Probiert es mal aus, ihr lernt euer Lieblingsauto auf eine ganze neue Art und Weise kennen

Für Verbesserungsvorschläge oder andere Anmerkungen/Feedback hab ich selbstverständlich immer ein offenes Ohr.

Bisher habe ich das Rennen bereits mit mehr als 20 verschiedenen Autos mindestens einmal abgefahren, angefangen beim Käfer, über Mercedes ML, Dodge Charger SRT8, Ruf RGT, diverse Ferraris bis hin zum Gumpert und Pagani Cinque.
Der Pagani Cinque ist auch der Inhaber meiner bisherigen persönlichen Bestzeit: 53 Minuten und 23,32 Sekunden. Da es noch einige andere Fahrzeuge jenseits der 400-Marke gibt, geht hier sicherlich noch etwas zu drehen
[Edit] Da seit dem DLC2 die Referenzzeiten in den erstellten Herausforderungen nicht mehr gespeichert werden, werdet ihr nach jedem neuen Uplaod ins CRZ eine andere Referenzzeit vorfinden, ich muss ja jedesmal direkt vor dem Upload wieder neu fahren X(
[/Edit]

Das Rennen wird auch, sofern es mir möglich ist, ständig im CRZ online sein, sobald einmal abgelaufen wird es erneut für 5 Tage hochgeladen. Da hierbei jedoch immer wieder die Bestzeiten zurückgesetzt werden, ist hier auch gleich die Möglichkeit gegeben, sich über Rekorde und persönlich Bestleistungen auszutauschen.

Dann bleibt mir nichts weiter übrig, als viel Glück und gutes Sitzfleisch zu wünschen

 This looks great im gonna have to have a go tomorrow.

I would like to see a version of this race but with some traffic as well.. not crazy amounts, but enough to keep you active Probably medium setting.

Thats what i had set for " loop of ibiza" and it seemed about the same (maybe very slightly less) than regular free roam traffic. Actually, i might see about uploading that challenge, its pretty much the same as this, but on ibiza. hope i can see my own challenges now ?? ill have to check..

Anyway ill post my time for this one as soon as i finish the challenge

 @fo0k Thank you. I added the original text Luna send me. Since the german forum is down (for nearly 2 weeks now), maybe some more german players will come over here, and perhaps this challenge will help.

@Nobby: Luna released the challenge with traffic in the first place, but most of the drivers asked for a non-traffic version, cause the traffic in most cases ruined the laptimes. !lol Since the traffic is off, the laptimes "exploded".

But i will talk to Luna if he has time to upload the challenge with traffic too. I think you can upload 3 challenges parallel at the crc, so there is space for one more.

Have nice rides today.

Edit: Please look at the one question of me in the first post regarding the codes. I don't know if this is possbile to implit. Maybe it's only a missing plug-in.

 I just changed the screenshot for the filter.

...and i bow down Great! Tonight i will add the complete timetable.

Is one of the codes for a tabular overview, so the timetables look more clear?

Edit: Ah i read you didn't test all yourself.

That was my thought last night, may have been under the influence a little too much though lost over a minute to the time posted by luna in an F40 by the first 10 checkpoints

 Hey Donnie, thanx for promoting my challenge here on TDUmods
On your advice I registered here to see what's going on beyond the German borders

@ Nobby:
I can upload the challenge to CRC with traffic as well. But I don't know if I can manage that tonight - probably not. Because since DLC2 the reference times won't be saved in the challenge anymore, so everytime you want to upload you have to drive the challenge immediately before uploading, and I don't think I got the hour of time to drive the tour tonight...
And I can upload only one more time. As Donnie mentioned some posts before, there are only 3 activce CRC races allowed at the same time. So I will choose the public desk for the 3rd upload to reach more racers. Disadvantage is that I will not set a prize at the public desk because of these stupid CRC cheaters, who are very good in destroying any race with a price of more than $1,000 We already had some Southafrican crank, who finished the tour in about 20 seconds...

 I see you guys need to practise. !lol

I know some parts of the round are a bit tricky, especially the one CP with the U-Turn. But i'm looking straight forward, that your laptimes will go down in a positiv way by the time. Mine did too.

My first Lap with the Pagani Zonda Cinque and Tricolore were about 62 minutes, now i'm down to round about 57 minutes with the Cinque.

The overall view will be added later on. Fo0k posted a tutorial how to make a table in a post.

@Luna: Welcome Bro ! Nice you join us here. Can only be an asset for this forum and the community here.
