VC RC Mod by DiCanio

This is certainly the most fun Mod I've ever seen for
GTA3 or Vice City - even though I say so myself ;o)
It enables you to fly the RC Baron, fly the RC Goblin, 
and drive the RC Bandit :o)
There was a very similar Mod for GTA3 which enabled you 
to drive the RC Bandit around Liberty City but this Mod
has it all. It's a real buzz flying that wee Baron I 
tell you! Flying the Goblin under water is kool and
another great buzz. Also, going at 130kmh in the Bandit 
is absolutely brilliant particularly when you bounce off 
stuff. I've really never had so much fun with a GTA3 Mod 
before. You can save all the vehicles in your garages and 
fly or drive all of them under water! 
Weird & wonderful stuff indeed.

Main Changes:
All vehicles can take a lot more damage (a must for the Baron).
All vehicles can drive/fly under water plus you get respawned 
if you have any problems in the water.
All vehicles are faster and more stable - Goblin top speed 
85kmh, Baron top speed 75kmh and Bandit top speed 130kmh.
You take no damage no matter what happens when you drive
any of these vehicles :o)


Cheers to the person who had the original idea for GTA3, 
I remember the Forum post but not the name. Also to
Icedude for his early Beta idea for the VC port :o)


Instructions:
Replace your handling.cfg and default.ide files in your
DATA folder. If you already have a heavily Modded 
default.ide then just change the Class Type of the three
vehicles from IGNORE to MOPED.
Likewise, if your handling.cfg is Modded just copy the 
handling lines for these three vehicles and paste them
into your own file. You can hash (#) out the current
lines instead of deleting them if you wish.

Some Tips:
To get in the driving seat of the RC Baron you will need to
position yourself just behind the wings and as close to the
fuselage as possible. If you're having problems then walk 
into the plane knocking it sideways and quickly press the 
ENTER key. You'll get the hang of it eventually. To 
hijack one from the streets just shoot the driver in the 
legs or head. 
To enter the RC Goblin you will need to do the same sort 
of thing. Don't stand next to one that already has a driver
as the rotor blades will kill you stone dead. Shoot the 
driver from the back at roughly where the head would be (at 
the top back of the Baron) and they will exit. Wait until 
the rotor has stopped then get behind the rotor as close to 
the body as possible. You may have to bump it a little. Keep
bumping it and pressing ENTER - you'll get in the driving 
seat with a little patience.

Included in this Mod are original Un-Modded handling.cfg &
Default.ide files just in case you forget to back them up.
I also decided to attach some replays to show how it's 
done as some of you might find the manoeuvre a little 
tricky at first.

That's All Folks!

TIP OF THE WEEK:
Remember to check whither your files are Read-Only. This is a
common problem with Vice City. Grab this wee program and let
it change your Read-Only files for you with no fuss.

Just right click on the main Vice City dir after install and
choose Clear Read-Only Attributes.

Have Fun! :o))
