		    ================================

 
-----=====IMPORTANT NOTE=====-----

This car uses high resolution texture for dash view so it may not work with some older videocards. Sorry but I'm not planning to release lower resolution version. It's time to upgrade your computer :)

-----=====INSTALATION=====-----

Just unzip and put the vpcc57ht.ar file into your Midtown Madness 2 main folder.

-----=====USED EDITORS=====-----

Zanoza Z-Modeler 0.x - 1.5c (great modeler)
3D Studio Max 2.5
Paint Shop Pro 6.02

-----=====FEATURES=====-----

In dash view the steering wheel is 3d and with hands. Now it's a bit more realistic to drive.

-----=====BASIC DESCRIPTION=====-----

This is my first scratch made car. Believe me or not but it took me a year to complete it. During the modeling process I had several moments when I though I'd never finish it and I should stop my work and many times I did. Hopefully I understood that if I have come this far I shouldn't turn back so I started my work again.
Like I mentioned before Corvette was my first car but it was also very complex one (bad for beginners like I was). Also I didn't have any blueprints and photos ware not good either but I think that result is quite good.
During the editing process I learned very much. For now I now almost everything about z-modeler (which I used for modeling), also I learned a lot about textures and how to edit them. Course I had to understand how to tune a car (what I did) and lots of other things.
At first I thought that I'd make it for nfs4 only but after getting mm2 I changed my mind. For mm2 version I had to remap car all over and also make new textures. So it's not a simple conversion it's a totally designed for mm2.

-----=====NOTES =====-----

For this version I lowered poly count by removing 3D bottom and also cut some polys from the wheels (corese the interior was removed coz the car isn't convertible anymore).
Like you could read before car has a 3d steering wheel now it's more realistic to drive. I have many other ideas for dash and maybe even for car but I'll include them with my next project.
I'm not happy with mm2 physics it's way too unrealistic even compared with mm1 but I tried to tune car as close to real life as possible. Performance and top speed are almost accurate.
