I can't get the car viewer to work right with GN1970. I downloaded the GN1970 car viewer files that goes with the car viewer. But how do you get it all to work? Thanks Charlie

Perhaps being more descriptive of the problem other than "it don't work right" might help. EXACTLY what is the problem?
When I try to use the car viewer. The car shapes are of NR2003 not GN1970, I not know how to get it to use the GN1970 shapes. Danny Ocean wrote:

File, Open, Open DirectX mesh (.x) file, then select the file appropriate for your ride. Then you need to save the car's TGA file as "card.bmp" - it MUST be this exact filename or it won't load. Then once you have done this the body should show up right, though there really aren't any interiors for these in CV yet.

My car viewer does not have an (open directX mesh) it only has an (open texture) under file. Thanks Charlie "Charles F. Castor Jr." wrote:

Because the latest (1.40) does have this option under the File menu.
