Now that it's released, does anyone know if there's any way to enable custom radio stations?
I've heard rumors that this function, available in TDU1, isn't present here.

If there's no custom radio just turn the music off in options and open your favorite mp3 player on the background. We are PC gamers geez lets use our advantages ;)

True, but I liked controlling the music from the ingame interface. Sitting in bed or lounging with a gamepad is much more comfortable than using a keyboard, especially in games that involve driving/piloting (don't own a wheel/joystick because I'm not that much of an enthusiast, a gamepad is more than enough for arcadish games).

In other news, Game Informer states in their review (console version) that there are only TWO radio stations and NO custom soundtrack support. :mad:

Yea, just the 2 stations and no custom support. I for one smell DLC on the horizon.

GTA series spoiled me, music in TDU stations are soooo bad.

I agree it's way better if there was a custom radio station.... Just posted that to remind people there is an alternative, not as good as a in-game custom radio, but its the best we can do...

I also don't understand why they did that. I think there's only 2 options about this matter:

1 - They are dumb.
2 - They intentionally removed it to sell future DLCs.

Lets hope for the best, a patch adding custom radio, and dlcs.

Number 2 is the correct answer, I believe.

But not sure, it may be a free addition.
