1966 OLDSMOBILE TORONADO
for G T A 2
by D-FENS
Story:
This Car is (as you can figure) my all time favourite and the one in the garage
is currently undergoing a complete restauration in the "real" world. Because
I cant wait to drive it again I sat down one day and made myself a little toy
for GTA2. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Background on the real vehicle:
Oldsmobile Toronados were the first Front-wheel-drive luxury sports cars ever
produced (successfully). The first Generation came out 1966 and 1967 with a
powerful 425 cci 380 HP powerplant. They were 2 tons heavy and amazing gas-guzzlers.
However, the driving comfort was impressive and in 1968 they even conquered
the first 3 places at the anual Pikes Peak Hill Climb (johnsmysers.jpg).
FWD just pulled them ahead and left everybody else behind.
Build History:
Time consumed: one day (04.04.01). Samples were acquired from a rubber
Toro sold on Ebay. Programs used for editing:
- Photoshop 5.0
- I_View32
- STYed 1.4
- Ultraedit32
Files included in ZIP file:
Installation:
To install the car please use STYed 1.4 or later. I included the correct files
for two different vehicles to be replaced. #5 (G4 Bank Van) and #22 (Ice Cream
Van). Choose one you like but keep in mind that the Bank Van uses remaps that
I was unable to alter or delete. You might get a very fuzzy alternative to the
gold yellow Toro.
That should be it. You are now the proud owner of a software '66 Toronado.
