Lighting Update!

• Changes to vehicle lighting, now uses materials to illuminate lights! Includes the dashboard.
• Changes to lighting sprites, less sprites, but much better looking.

•Raised suspension from 14/14.5 to 15/14.5. Sits higher on wheels.


Hey there stranger, having a read of the change notes? I'm glad you're interested in what's going on.

• Added New York license plate texture, this can be accessed by using the submaterial tool:

"models/crskautos/ford/crownvictoria_1987/carpback_new"

• Increase in engine efficiency from 0.84 to 0.89, to allow for faster acceleration and better performance.

• Increase in torque from 120 to 140, to provide more power to car and improve performance.
• Increase in power band from 4,000 to 4,800 RPM.
• Increase in max RPM from 4,600 to 5,500 RPM.

• Decrease in brakepower from 40 to 36

• Slight changes to rear window braking lights, the spirtes will no longer be visible from the front.
• Softened the suspension on the vehicle, much nicer on turns and can drive up curbs easier.

This vehicle uses a V8 5.0 Litre Ford Windsor 302, i've tweaked the performance stats considerably to provide a more acurate representation. The car was to slugish before and slow to move. The method of measuring speed has also changed from using playersize to using worldsize (default setting for simfphys). As the vehicle when compared to others was severly underperfoming due to this difference. I hope that this helps considerably.

If you are reading this, i'd like to thank you for supporting this addon, and hope that you enjoy driving your Ford.

• Increase in engine efficiency from 0.80 to 0.84, to allow for faster acceleration.

• Decrease in 1st gear from 0.22 to 0.18, to allow for faster acceleration, and to climb inclines.
• Decrease in tyre grip from 50 to 48, so the vehicle isn't as glued to the road.

• Slight changes to seating positions. For better looking seating, get comfortable.
• Slight changes in suspension, vehicle now sits slighly higher to prevent wheel clipping on arches.

Random update time, changes have been made to car performance and handling. Nothing major. Also changes sprite positioning for headlights to be better placed. Also changed rear lights to be more accurate.

Well, I cannot get the licence plate texture to override the default one anymore for some reason. If anyone knows hows to fix this please let me know.

Honestly i'd be suprised if someone actually read this.
