I am going to go over the main reasons why I loved Newark so much, and why I played it a lot more than westover. And I also hope TTP keeps this in mind while revamping Newark.
(In order from greatest to least)
1. It was one of the very few UD games to actually have a downtown city! The downtown city was the best thing about Newark, it felt alive and looked gorgeous at night. IT was the center of Newark and where everyone was. Short story: I would park cars at random parallel parking spots just for fun, +to make it feel more alive. I also liked how detailed it was with the buildings and with the fountains. I wished the downtown would have a bit more buildings.

2. Map had many different areas, it had the main city, the downtown area, rural areas, forest-y camping areas, small towns, highways, and it felt like it had A LOT of variety. 

3. Many things for DOT to do, it had a controllable draw-bridge, many VMS (Vehicle Message System) Boards, and MANY MANY controllable traffic lights.

4. Although it was bigger than Westover, it actually ran a lot better and was very well optimized. (At that time)

5. It was straight-forward and easy to navigate. It wasn't confusing to try find someone that needed help through the chat: "Help! My car broke down and I'm in the Newark downtown near the highway."

6. Spawn points and building placement were perfect! The police stations, citizen spawns, and other spawns were perfectly placed in logical areas in the map.

Hi,

I think it'd be a great idea to add better bus mechanics into Ultimate Driving. My ideas include: route numbers and route text. For example: Westover 1. And also some text underneeth saying via this this and that (optional when choosing route)

Westover 1
Via Kensington

Or:

Westover 1
Via Kensington, Palm Shores and Woodburry

I also think it would be a good idea to add more buses, such as the articulated bus mark 2 and even a double decker bus.

These are just some ideas. I hope to see some added soon if possible.

Does anyone have an Inkscape template for street name signs? Thanks!

I've decided to start work on my own road-based game. The game is based out of creativity, (except for the soon to come interstates,) I will attach some pictures below if you would like to look at current progress.

I guess this is a fan thing, as this is intended to be a fan UD game.

Progress Log

I don't have anything to update the progress log as of now.


Hope you like the game, although it is currently work in progress!

I'm sorry for this forumpost out of nowhere, but my dad passed away yesterday. He was in hospital for two months, and he was sick for two years. I haven't seen him since two months, because he didn't want to be seen in that way, he was really skinny, his bones were showing, He was 68 years old. He just wanted to return home. I honestly don't know what to do now. He took care of me, even when he was sick. We just watched videos with him. I'm just really sad, but I'm trying to forget his sudden death. I am just sad about this. Well, I wanted to share my story with everyone here. Have a good day.

I found someone that was telling me he was a moderator but he was clearly lying. What can I do?

I wanted to see what the UD community wants to have introduced into UD, however I have divided the Survey option into "classes" as when the Devs introduce new cars most of the time the cars are similar in class.

Vote here: https://www.strawpoll.me/18146274/r

Note: If a certain class is not there, it's because I feel there are enough of types of that car class in game.

Bug where the car would despawn even though there was someone in the driver's seat.

Video showing the bug is attached.

Hello everyone,

This week I get the pleasure of hosting a little Q&A for you all! You've probably seen me around and may be curious to learn more about me, and this is the perfect opportunity to ask any questions that you may have!

Here's a background on me:
I'm 19 years old and currently live in the state of Georgia. I've been apart of the UDU team since July 22nd, 2017. Next month, it will be two whole years on the team! Although I show off a stoic attitude, I'm pretty enjoyable to hang around, feel free to join in on conversations I may be having! (probably with jordan, he's dum though. shhh.)

That's pretty much it! Go ahead and ask any questions you may have about me.
