Midtown madness 2 Overhauled!

BETA

intro:
this is a huge mod to revive the fell of midtown mandess 2. i am hoping that the final will be incorperated with shader mod, they used my reflections, lightglares and other effects of my first mod, which compared to my new ones suck! so the reflections, lights and other effects are better than shader mods. ive also included new sirens, new traffic, lots of new and different model police cars and the legendary new york city map. nyc might give you problems, if so, go back to this readme and read the bottom. i dont want to be littered with questions and emails about this, i will not respond to any questions regarding nyc. 

ok, the changes! from beginning of starting the game.

menus:
i changed most of the main menus, some still arent complete. the first splash screen is incorperated scenes of all 3 cities, new york, san francisco and london. the main menu is a pic of lombard street in san francisco, a police car driving down it. the race selection menu is picadilly circus in london. also, theres new pics of the cities where the map used to be. lastly the vehicle selection, which is times square nyc. every city has its own loading screen aswell.

vehicles:
 youll notice lots of new cars, starting off with the traffic cars. all but the gas truck, chevy express and garbage truck are drivable. the traffic is low poly, but still better than defaults and are recognizable models. you will then scroll into the police cars. high poly for police interceptors, equipped with realistic details and hig poly lighting. such as whelen liberty LED light bar, whelen talon LED units, federal signal vector. all LEds are 3d modeled and in the case of the liberty, 18,000 polies. next is a caprice classic cruiser, equipped with a high poly code 3 mx7000 lightbar. theres also a high poly chevy tahoe with a fs vector lightbar, a jeep tj, an impala, meter maid and so on. london wasnt the main focus of the mod, therefore isnt perfected and didnt get top notch vehicles, low poly vauxhall vectra police car, landrover defender, mercedes sprinter, bmw 525 and a peugeot 306. nyc has 17 police cars, 2 types of police interceptors, suburban and metermaid. the other cities have 40 police cars each.

nyc:
nyc is quite unstable, but not so much as before. it uses a lot of mm2's usable ram, therefore with highpoly cars, may crash. if you experience crashing, turn down trffic, there may be too much detail, polcie is another factor, i could only get 17, more than that and it would crash. i always have peds turned down, this was i can have full cops and traffic and drive mid poly cars. no other downloaded cars were tested, i never use or download cars made by anyone else. even some of my high poly cars cause crashing. but all my low poly everyday car collection, driver car pack, midnight club cars and other were all tested and work fine. a link will be provided to them soon. if crashing still occurs, adjust you video card settings and fiddle around with the resolution. try combos of everything. if none of that works, then nyc will not work for you. 

future plans:
replacing all default cars with high poly nice detailed ones. currently i have:
f350
99 mustang
68 mustang
fire truck
freighliner century

i can easily convert the nfs6 aston martin, i cna convert sheaffts eldorado, theres a free mesh austin cab, and lots more.
