Try this out
This little hack will give you a 300mph Porsche. The modification can
be done with any of the cars, though I
don't guarantee good results. I have only tried this with the 911 and
the Ferrari (the 911 is my favorite, so
that's the one that I use).
This is the easiest way, without making too many modifications, to
upgrade the speed of any car.
Find Paths.dat in the /gamedata/config directory.
Make sure to make a back up of paths.dat before doing anything to it.
Using a hex editor, open the file and find the line that says:
"D:\simdata\carspecs" (D is the cd-rom drive, it may be a different
letter on your system).
Replace the "D" with a "C" (letter of your hard drive).
Create a directory off of the root of c: called simdata and a
subdirectory called carspecs.
Just to make sure that you are with me still, you should have created
the path
c:\simdata\carspecs.
Copy all the files in d:\simdata\carspecs to c:\simdata\carspecs.
You should now be in c:\simdata\carspecs
Change the attribute of the by_r&t file to read only (attrib +r
by_r&t.)
Copy traffc.pbs to p911.pbs
You have just created a 300 mph Porsche.
The only bug that I have noticed is that the speedometer needle seems
to grow' after you reach the peg.
