Test Drive Unlimited (Xbox 360) All-Purpose FAQ by: the4ce Hey everybody. Let me start off by saying that any comments and critiques are welcomed. This FAQ will be about how to get into or simply how to get to secret locations in the game. It will also include some other tidbits that I have learned in my travels. I have also added my previously seperate DLC FAQ to this one so that it would be slightly longer. So, here goes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Table of Contents 1. The Locations 1a. The Southern Airport 1b. The Northern Airport 1c.

Authorized Websites ________________________________________________________________________________ 1. The Locations - Many of the random locations to be entered ________________________________________________________________________________ 1a. The Southern Airport - The southern airport can be found in the southeast corner of the large city on the south beach of the island. There are numerous ways to enter this airport and here I will go over two of them. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Bike Entry - Required items: A motorcycle A friend with a car that has a ramp-shaped front end Patience Difficulty: 1/2 - 1 Badge To begin, have your friend back up to the fence, about two car lengths away. You back up as far as you can and then, aim for the front of their car. You should be heading towards them head-on. As you accelerate, hold a wheelie steady, making sure not to fall-off, and try to make your wheelie angle match the angle of their car. When you hit, you should fly over the fence. Before you land, to prevent you falling off and not being able to pause, pause the game and create a bookmark. When you travel back to the bookmark, you will appear on the ground directly below where you were when you made the bookmark. If you do not make it over the fence, move your friends car closer to it. If you hit the fence on the way up, move the friends car further from the fence. Like I said, this requires patience, but it is rewarding once you get it. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Glitch Entry - Required Items: Any vehicle with enough speed to make the jump. Again, Patience Difficulty: 1 Badge On the south side of the airport, where the V-Rent is, the road leads to a dead end when heading west. To get into the airport this way, start at a distance where you can get good speed and drive heading west on the road. Try as hard as you can to keep your speed. A row of bushes lies at the end of the road. If you hit the right end of the bushes, your car will be launched into the air, and with enough speed, you will land inside the airport. If you do not jump, then you haven't hit the right spot, and if you don't jump far enough, then you don't have a fast enough vehicle. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1b. The Northern Airport - To the west of the Lexus Dealership. Exit the dealership and take a right. When you get to the instersection, take another right, and follow that road. The Airport is on your left. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Glitch Entry - Required Items: Any A or B Class vehicle, or any car you can get to move quick enough Patience, and lots of it Difficulty: 1-2 Badges The description that I offer here is original, but the method is credited to torolof on youtube. This will be difficult to describe, but I'll try. The north shor of the island is very rough. Zoomed in a the closest level, if you place the east end of the airport right on the left side of the screen, the place you will want to warp to is right on the right edge of the screen. Once you are there, get oriented so that you are facing east on the road. Four tenths of a mile down the road, it turns closer to the fence. As soon as it straightens out, there should be an open patch of grass on your right side. In the middle of this, there should be a small tree. Turn off of the road at an angle so that you pass close by the end of the trees and then hit the small tree. You will be shot into the air, over the fence, and into the airport. See the credits for more information. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1c. The Eden Island - This island is accessible by a teleporter. The island includes, hotels, a cruise ship, waterfalls, a luxurious beach, and a few miles of roads to drive on, and no, the roads do not count towards your total island exploration. This island is just north of the southeast corner of Oahu. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ There is one, and only one way to get to the island. on the southeast corner of the island, there is a road that leads around the southern tip of the eastern mountain range. If you go just to the south part after the bend, you drive up the side of the mountain and follow the rest of the range until you come to a small 'e' symbol. You will drive down a small hill then go back up. when you get to the 'e' you need to back up, and then drive and hit it at at least 30 mph, no less. Once you get to the island, create a bookmark so you don't have to continually go through the teleporter. Congratulations, 3 down, that's all for the confirmed ones. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1d. Gray Island - This island, just south of the Secret Island (1c.) is an island that was accessed by a friend of mine and has, as of yet, been accessed by nobody else. He claims a way that I will explain, but i have a much simpler, but unproven method, as well. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Glitch Entry - Required Items: Unknown... Glitch done with MV Agusta F4 Tamb. Difficulty: Unknown... Gray and I met randomly by racing one day. I had recently gotten to Eden Island and was driving around with him there when he pointed out the small islands and told me that he had gotten there. Of course, I didn't believe him, but when he jumped there with his bookmarks, all I could do was ask him how. He Said that he had left his Xbox for a time and that when he had come back, his friend had pushed him into the water. The unusual thing was, though, that he had continued underwater instead of respawning. He said that he saw three large holes in the ground and as he was driving had to actually drive around them. he and I employed the help of a few people and attempted once gain to jump far into the water and just coast in, but nothing worked. This led my other friend and I to our theory. You will remember in my first glitch explanation of how to get into the southern airport, that I said that when you create a bookmark in mid-air, you will spawn on the ground directly beneath where you created the bookmark. Well, we figured this applied over water. We began to ramp over the water and sure enough when we made our bookmarks, we landed underneath the water. Yay, progress! Well, not really. See, everytime we started, we could never get far enough out to sea to get fully underneath the water, usually our helmet (or part of it) was sticking up out so we assume that that was why we were respawned every time. We never did get to the island, but we do know Gray was telling the truth for two reasons, first because we saw the three gargantuan holes in the ground and second because if look enough you can find picture of him on the internet. So we will continue to try and find a way to this island, but maybe it won't be us that finds it, maybe it will be you. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1e. Other Areas - These include the tops of buildings, inside playgrounds, and inside some parking lots. *More to be added* _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Glitch Entry - Required Items: Any vehicle fast enough Difficulty: 1/2 - 3 Badges Playground at the east end of the Downtown Drag Strip - Drive north at the intersection past the Nissan Dealership and turn around at the T- Intersection. On the right side of the road at the intersection, there is a row of flowers. Once you turn around, drive as fast as possible towards the end of the road and veer to the right. Hit the row of bushes at the high enough speed and you should be shot into the air and land inside the playground. Bookmark if you want and enjoy. Fire Station at the above intersection - Start at the West end of the Drag strip and drive east. Hit the above mentioned row of flowers on it's end and you may find yourself in the fire station parking lot... or you may find yourself flipping through the air uncontrollably. Either way, this is a fun jump. If you land inside bookmark the place if you want and enjoy some laughs when you show other people and they fail at their attempts. Inside of building at the West end of the Downtown Drag Strip - Start at the east end and accelerate towards the west end. on the left side of the road the is a set of hedges just before this building, which happens to be the last on the road. Hit the east end of these hedges and you should be shot into the air. Hopefully, you will land in the building. If not, try again. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1f. Unused Car Dealerships: not so much places to enter as cool places to see _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Alfa Romeo - About 1/5 mile east of the challenge "8 Drivers Make a Record" Mercedes-Benz - Just west down the main road of the Lexus Dealership Japanese Imports - Find the European Classics Dealership in the southeast of the island. Go north on the road from here and] take a right at the second intersection. Take another right. The dealership should be on the left side of the road.

Fun / Miscellaneous Information _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4a. Bike Tricks _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Ramping off of Cars - This can get you into many areas and can get you recognized by any person whose car you decide to ramp off of. To do this, you need a bike and any car that has a slanted front end (aka almost anything except for busses, vans, SUVs, and Utility Trucks). To ramp a car, start at a fair distance and do your best to hold a steady wheelie. Hit the car at a fast speed, and you should be shot into the air. If you are at too high or to low of an angle, you will not succeed and probably fall off. This can launch you into the air and over many barriers, into place that you might not normally be able to access. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4b. Drag Strips Downtown - The Drag Strip By the River (1.7 miles) Ford Island (2.1 miles) East Coast - From the turn South of the Triumph Dealership to the T-Intersection just north of the Cadillac Dealership (2.4 miles) Far North - From the access road that leads to the rear of the airport to the intersection that takes you to the Lexus dealership (4.9 Miles) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4c. Drafting _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Drafting is a simple trick that can increase your top speed by up to 30 mph. To do this, you need to be travelling at a fast speed, and you need to follow another players car. Once you get to your top gear, you will begin to accelerate much faster and beyond your top speed. You can do this at a distance of up to 150 yards. This can help in any race situation and cannot be done to the civilian cars. ________________________________________________________________________________ 5. Glitches and Problems _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5a. Common Problems and Questions _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Best car to start with: Audi TT Best Car in game: Koenigsegg CCR, Mclaren F1 GT (DLC) Where To buy the F1 GT: There is a new British Independents due west of the Pontiac Dealership Referral code...?: Don't worry about it the program is long expired How do I get the bikes?: Find all the car dealerships Finding 'X' Mission: If they aren't there then explore more roads. They only appear once you have explored the road that the are on. Speed Challenge Meter?: This lags as a failsafe to the 600 mph glitch. It was intentionally desgned and implanted by Atari in the first update. How to Bookmark: Pause your game. Select 'Options.' Select 'Bookmarks.' Select 'New.' Take a Pic. Type the name. Vwa-la. Bookmark for you. :) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5b. Problems with Downloadable Content _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ My game save wont load!: It appears that there is a safety measure made by Atari so that people can not backup their save, sell a car to a friend, and then reload the save. Also, If you are getting the message along the lines of your DLC is no longer available, then here is what you do: 1) Select 'No.' 2) Exit to the Xbox dashboard. 3) Go to the system blade and select memory. 4) Select games then scroll down and select Test drive unlimited. 5) Erase ALL of your DLC. 6) Go to the Xbox live marketplace. 7) Re-download all of the downloadable content. 8) Start the game. This is simply me speaking from what i am fairly sure will work. I do know that on the Atari europe forums, people have talked about this problem and said that once they started over, they ended up deleting all of their save files and that fixed the problem. ________________________________________________________________________________ 6.
