    I don't remember what cars are in A3 and A4 but I'll look tonight when I get on to earn some more cash towards my 250 GTO :D
    I do remember using an Aston Martin for some races as I liked the way it handled. However it was too slow for one race so I took it to a tuner shop and that helped enough to get the win so use a tune shop if you need more performance out of a car that you like.

    There are two sections at the airport. If you are heading towards the airport with the water on your right and the airport on the left you will see that it is in two sections. The first section as you approach is the one you can get on the runway. It is open on each end with no fence so you just drive to it. You can look on the map and see a side road that splits the two sections and you can get on from there too. The second section of the airport with the proper terminal is blocked off.

    Now on Ibiza the airport is blocked off but...... you can go around back in the field and if you get far enough back and can wind your way through an orchard fast enough, there is a small dirt hill next to the fence and if you hit it at just the right angle and speed you can jump the fence and land on the runway. Its been awhile but I think the spot is about 3 or 4 posts in from the right side corner if you are facing the airport from the back side.

    Once in there you can drive around and the really cool part is planes are actually coming in and landing or taking off ( I forget ). There is a big 747 plane parked on the runway that is cool for a pic background and I even got a few shots of my car with a plane buzzing overhead. There is no way to drive back out so you have to teleport out.

    Im so confused. I couldn't figure out what you were talking about. Are you talking about the airport at the top of Hawaii? There's 3 airports af I couldn't figure out what you were talking about. Sorry

    Edit: watched a YouTube video and figured out you just jump on a rock. Only part of the runway is paced so I could only go 180ish.

    No. The actual airport runway on Hawaii. There's a rock that you can use to hop the fence.

    You use the rock as a ramp to jump the fence in Ibiza.

    The runway in Hawaii is open to drive on. You have to drive over a red and white striped curb that is raised like a sidewalk.

    I figured it was part of the airport but it makes more sense that it is a driving school and that is where I was talking about. It doesn't help much when I send people off looking for something by the wrong name. Sorry :)

    I just looked on youtube and saw there is a rock you can jump to get into the hawaii airport as TheDuke said so its possible to jump the fence into the airports on both islands.

    So tempting!!!
    Whoops. The runway wasn't all that exciting but worth learning I guess.
    Have you been on yet? You said you were going to let me know what you used for A4 and A3. I'm holding you to that because Im a bit lost on this one.

    Duke, here is a list of all of the classes of car.

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5464193/TDU2CarList.pdf

    For A4, I used a DB9 coupe. I test drove both DB9s and as you can imagine the coupe handles a bit better than the volante. The V8 Vantage is a decent performer but it's a bit easy to spin out.

    I saw that earlier. I'm leaning towards the DB9 right now and probably will get that. I'm just wondering what's worked well for others.
    Very nice list. Thank you very much.

    Just because you can, doesn't mean you should :)
    How much money do you have and where's your Ferrari house? This is ferrarichat not bugattichat

    How does one actually earn money after completing all the championships and cups?

    This isn't my whole Ferrari collection. I have every other model except the 599 GTO spread across my houses. As of now, I have $25.6 million. The easiest way (besides the exploit I've used ;)) is to do other challenges, like the photographer missions. Each island has a photo studio, with 20 scenes to capture. Each photo is $5,000. Once all 20 are captured on an island, you get $50,000. So...

    5,000 x 20 = 100,000. Add an additional 50,000 and that's 150,000 for an island; 300k for both. Check a photo studio for instructions.

    There are DLC driving convoy missions with one of the updates that pay big...usually 20k per challenge.

    I got the Casino DLC when it first came out. I thought it was worth it especially since I won the big slot jackpot on the second visit which was for a couple million I think. That gave me a HUGE jump on buying houses and cars.

    There is also a Audi R8 spyder in the casino that you can either win by playing the corresponding slot machine or you can buy it but only through the casino.

    There is a casino lobby/bar with doors to the slot room, the card games room, the VIP room and a clothing store. I went there one night and the place was packed with guys and ( cough ) girls. You can buy someone a drink at the bar and get Global points. My sister came in and we went and played slots. It was fun to talk on the mic as we tried to win some money.

    The casino is a good way to make money in the game. I played the slots and there was one machine where I always came out ahead. One day I was working in my home office and had the game going in the next room. I had the controller on my desk and going by the sound of the spinning slot I kept pulling. I walked out later and saw I had about $300K in an hour so I cashed out :)

    Like a lot of things in the game, the casino had/has its bugs but I thought it was fun and added another dimension to the experience. If I had to do it all over again and knowing what I know, I would buy the Casino DLC again in a heartbeat.

    As for my A4 car, I looked on my list and it was most likely the Aston V8 Vantage. I remember driving that one a lot. I couldn't figure out what I drove for an A3 car but it might have been the Merc SLK 63 Black.

    If you follow the natural progression of the game there will always be money to buy what you need along the way even if you have to sell it to get something you like better. Winning the jackpot helped me a lot though :)

    Are you guaranteed to win money at the casino or could you play and lose it all?

    I already beat A4 with the DB9 (the doors sold it :) ) sand I'll probably get the Alfa 8C for A3. A2-Scud and A1-veyron(bought it last night).
    Now time for hawaii cup #1

    You can lose money but you can also win and sometimes win big.

    When you go into the casino you go over to a cashier and convert an amount you pick ( $20K ) or so to casino chips. I played slots and NEVER walked out with less than the $20K that I started with. I would pull slots for about an hour or a bit more if I was lucky and would leave with much more than I started with. I hit the big one but only once. I tried the slot that wins the R8 a few times but ended up having to buy it with my own money.

    I think the casino is designed in a way that you will always come out ahead as long as you play long enough.

    I used the Scud for A2 and the Zonda Cinque for A1 as it cornered much better than the Veyrons.

    I've won the R8 Spyder but can't win the Spyker. Nobody wants to play poker. :(

    I absolutely HATE time trials especially in the cups.
    Any tips on how to win the A5 time trial for Hawaii cup 1? I suck at time trials especially on Hawaii. It's ridiculous that I can win normal races by 15+ seconds but suck at time trials.

    I gave up on the Poker Tournament. I finally got to Level 5 (I won a free ticket to the level where you win the Spyker, so I got in there before that). Each time I went, the table never filled up. I just bought it.

    I don't understand why the R8 Spyder costs more than the Spyker. The R8 is 1,000,000 credits ($2 million), while the Spyker is 500,000 credits ($1 million).

    Now I want the clothes. No easy way out, either poker or slots.

    Well I'll admit my being wrong about this game, they truly have turned it around since I stopped playing about a year ago. A friend recently got the 360 version again and since it was cheap and he swore to me it was better I bought it today and I can't quite put it down, it feels like I'm back in 2006 with TDU1.

    I really don't know what the deal is, but the handling is way improved, the cars actually have some grip now. It's very odd because playing the PC version with a X360 controller it feels like the same old ****ty physics, but the 360 version is way better.

    I bought the game this morning and have already driven close to 500 miles just today, mostly done in the MP4-12C which I have fallen hard for. All in all they really turned the game around. They really screwed up overall though, the launch of the game was absolutely atrocious and there is no way they will win too many more of the fans back a year and a half after launch, it's just too late.

    I will still complain about the car list though, it really needs some variety.

    Is there a cheat for unlimited money? Or do you actually have to play through the levels?
