    Would you be able to upload or link to the cars that you used for your modded image file? Rather than the IMG file itself? I like some of the cars, but not all of them.

    Yes of course...
    Here is a link to page 12 of this very thread where I uploaded over 30 different vehicles for you to download and try for yourselfs (I even categorised them for you :cool:)

    Enjoy!!


    I had a quick look at this car mod for you... basically it's a Vice City car mod. This particular mod replaces a 2 door sports car, so I tried it against a GTA3 2 door sports car (Banshee) the result was, GTA would hang at the loading screen.

    This/these car mods would need converting to GTA3 for them to work within the game. One way to do this would be to open up the .TXD file and copy the car textures, then import them to a 2 door sports car of your choice, like the Banshee, this should work (the textures themselfs would probably need converting though) :D

    P.S - I will be back modding soon... :D

    Ahh, completely my fault, my apologises... I've now uploaded the correct .TXD and .dff files for the Dodge Viper. Below is a tip for swapping custom cars, from the Page 12...

    I hope this makes some sense to you all... :D

    Was hoping someone can help me out. Ever since I changed the file whenever I load up I have to reconfigure my control settings. I was wandering if there's anything I can do to avoid this chore? Any help would be much appreciated.

    Is there a way to get the default cars back? I love the 10 you uploaded but since I use it with Dan007's mod I get crashes at the worst times (opening menu/map, starting/finishing a mission or crashing my car). I've already tried restarting my iPod several times.

    Yes there is...I'll upload the original vehicle file for you soon. Can you please tell me, for which device you would like the original vehicle file uploaded (A4 or A5?).

    As I have stated before this mod hasn't been tested by myself with other peoples mods. But if the only thing that is altered is the .set file, well, this is just the draw distance and effects of the game, this shouldn't cause any conflicts with my mod...

    The only time this would effect the game would be if you was playing on something below an iPhone4 (or you have other apps running in the background) and have all effects enabled and upped the draw distance aswell as importing the new cars. This would cause you to run out of RAM on your phone, causing your game to crash to springboard.

    My advice to you would be comprimise... turn down the effects and/or draw distance of the .set file, this should help with your RAM and allow you to run my mods perfectly :D

    Thanks, I use a iPod Touch 4 so I believe that's an A4 chip.
    I have all effects set to the best on Dan007's mods except view distance I set to medium but I get weird graphics glitches too. Some objects wouldn't render until I had been standing next to them for awhile and buildings and roads looked weird until I drove right by them.

    Hey guys, anyone knows how to disable rain? It always becomes buggy on my iPhone when it rains in the game... Even when running Dan's best .set file :/

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how do you mod this game with the preset files? I want to use the file by LBG, but I really don't know how to do it.

    Do you want to change LBG's file or put it into your app?

    You just have to open GTA 3 with iExplorer (make sure your device is connected), and drag the gta3.set file (the one you downloaded) into the documents folder that is under the gta3 app. It will replace the previous file.
