I have used the TPTCC mod since it's first Beta (In the TPTCC league of
course). Not once have I run into an issue with the visual representation of
the car being different then the collision box. And I have run close (very
close) to numerous others in the league. and I'd have to say the comment
"models that miss their bounding box by several feet " is just a tad
exaggerated. Just drive better :)
I personally prefer the more correct visuals of the car then the cartoonish
squished and squashed and flared, and stretched cars in the PWF mod. And I
like both mods and race using both mods.
And... dont forget that TPTCC mod is not yet a complete mod and Im sure it
will be "just as polished" as the PWF mod when completed.
