Generic Propeller Plane
April 7, 2004

This vehicle has tons of bugs! I put the known bugs up here because people have short attention spans and won't read the whole README file.

********************************************

Known issues      : 

Since the game was designed with cars in mind, this thing will have a few bugs.

1. The propeller WILL NOT SPIN!!! And it has very limited flying capabilities. You'll only be able to fly a short distance and it is almost impossible to control while it's off the ground.

2. It WILL CRASH on every add-on track. The only track it doesn't crash on is Chicago. Also, it will fly thru some buildings in Chcago because the bounds sometimes won't go that high.

3. It is possible to fly too high and crash the game. If you manage to do this, one of two things will happen. One is that it will restart and the sound will be like a broken record and the graphics doesn't show up. Just hit ESC and go back to the race menu and it'll be fine. The other thing that could happen is that the game will freeze your computer and/or give you the blue screen of death and you'll have to restart. We (the authors) are not responsible for any damages this file does to your computer or it's contents.

4. It will shake very violently sometimes. Shakes even worse than a 16 y/o washer/dryer with an unbalanced load. Also, it will flip like an acrobat when it hits things. And sometimes it'll "bounce" while it's in the air. When the "bouncing" starts happening, it's most likely going to glitch and make it fly higher (see #3).

5. The bounding for the wings is rather short because it keeps hitting stuff while attempting to take-off.

6. There will be smoke coming from places where there's no wheels. The real wheels are transparent and spaced out so that this thing will balance correctly. The body's steering movements won't exactly look right because of this. The wheels that are attached to the plane are dummy wheels and they won't turn at all.

7. The reflections on the lower beams will have a bright spot on them because the model crosses the beams. And there's no lights.

8. There's no damage or dash. Live with it. I'm sure if there was a dash, all the shaking will make you sick.

CarLoader         : CarLoader is a program that keeps track of cars and tracks for Midtown Madness. I suggest getting this program (http://drive.to/carloader). This plane might not be compatible with CarLoader. If it isn't follow the following instructions. It will read the file as "(error) vpplane.ar". To fix it, let it finish loading, then right click "(error) vpplane.ar" and select "Change Name" and change it to "Generic Propeller Plane". Move the picture that's included in the zip to your CarLoader images folder. To view the picture, right click "Generic Propeller Plane" and select "View".


Notes             :

***************************************

Model             : It's about 800 polys. The plane's model was made by stang. It's not based on any specific plane. It's just a generic plane with a propeller. The shadow is a custom shadow made by Qwerty.

Sounds            : The plane's sounds are from Microsoft's Flight Sim.

Tuning            : The tuning was made by Qwerty. It needs to be propelled upto around 110 MPH before it takes off. Then it flys for a short distance. Sometimes it'll fly off the map and other times, it will just gently float back down. It's almost impossible to drive so it's not a good driving vehicle. It's also almost impossible to control while it's in the air, so don't bother. Surprizingly, the tuning stays the same for all physics settings.

Textures          : The textures are hand drawn. They were made by stang.

Dash              : There is none.
