Introduction:
=========
This is the first concept of a helicopter found in Leonardo da Vinci's notes. But what does Tommy has to do with that? Well apparently he had a lot of spear time in his hands, being the ruler of Vice city and all, and thought it would be a good idea to work with inventions! Although he may seem only like a wannabe inventor he did actually flew with this helicopter and that's something that hasn't been accomplished yet by anyone else! He is originated from Italy like Leonardo after all...


Featuring:
=======
- Original model creation by Nils Henrik Hannaas (nhhann-1@broadpark.no)
- Matching textures by Makis T.
- Specially edited .col file to match model.
- The first helicopter concept on actual flight.
- Do what has never been done before and make history!


Install Instructions:
=============
Since public demand (yes, that's you guys) wants to make it as easier as possible to install mods, I've included the GTA Mod Installer by CPMUSICK(cpmusick@gta3hq.com)which automates the procedure. Backup files are also included so you don't have to worry about how to get back the original "Sparrow" model. Note that using the automated installation, a few billboards will change promotimg mostly my other mods. I think it's the least I can ask of you for using something for free. Nothing crutial to the game or what other people might be modding will change. 

OPTIONAL tools:
- Collision File Editor 
- GXT Editor
(find them at: http://www.gtagaming.com/mods.php)

1. Run setup.exe and proceed as following:
	a) Click continue in the introductory text.
	b) Choose the third option to install a mod with a script file to Vice City.
	c) Choose to select a ZIP or RAR file that has the mod's files.
	d) Select the "install.zip" file that is in the same folder as setup.exe
	e) Input where you have GTA: Vice City installed.
	f) Select NOT to make a backup of the files replaced - there is an uninstall option available here.
	g) Done.

2. OPTIONAL - Installing the Collision File (sparrow.col): Backup vehicles.col, which is located in vice's .\models\coll folder. Open up the vehicles.col file with Collision File Editor. Find the sparrow model, select Replace, and select the sparrow.col that is included in the package. Save the file, and select yes to the messages.

3. OPTIONAL - Changing the car's name: Open GXT Editor, find american.gxt which is located in vice's .\text folder and select Load. Scroll down the RIGHT of the two windows until you reach SPARROW. Double-click on it and replace "Sparrow" with "Leonardo da Vinci's Helicopter" (or whatever else you like as a name). Click Save, then Exit.

4. Load the game! You're done.

5. How to find the Leo's Heli: If you don't know where to fing the "Sparrow" (which is now the amazing "Leonardo da Vinci's Helicopter") then you've obviously not played the game enough - what are you doing installing this mod? No hard feelings, it's just too obvious...

6. For the uninstalling procedure do the same as above - just choose the "uninstall.zip" this time and it will bring the DEFAULT "Sparrow" model. If you had modified it previously you'll just have to install its previous mod. Don't forget to change the col file back to the original one (sparrow-backup.col).
