Mods
HD textures pack
HD texture packs has been made by An7hraX and Dragozool. Both require texmod in order to work.
Doublepatch
Changes: new responsive controls. Are flip turns necessary - Disabled the effect of yellow with SFX - Disabled the effect of trembling camera. - New texture of the sky. The saved effect of the dome, the sky now looks drawn. Now the reflections look more natural on all surfaces. - Fixed a glitch with the wheels, now tires have no Shine - Fixed the ground clearance on some cars - Changed some of the camera effects - Correctly built light source for daytime - Minor bug fixes.
- The mod makes all performance upgrades availible for free from the very beginning. To fix this, use FE_ATTRIB.bin from the original game (<gamedir>\GLOBAL\).
- The mod increases difficulty of the game making several missions nearly impossible to complete. There is no easy fix for that.
If you are interested in visuals only, copy only modded InGameA.bun to <gamedir>\GLOBAL\ then use VltEd to apply this script.
