i know there's more but i can't think of them right now

to change the 3D arrow to a car model
download the 3DCars.rar file on the download link provided and extract it

and you have to edit the sys.txt

change the current values of this

Code: Select all

3dcarsizemin=2500
3dcarsizemax=5000
3dcarsizemul=15000

to this

Code: Select all

3dcarsizemin=5000
3dcarsizemax=8000
3dcarsizemul=30000

and add this part to the [3D] section

Code: Select all


car_day=hot_rod_red.mdl 
car_night=hot_rod_red.mdl
ghost_day=hot_rod_red.mdl
ghost_night=hot_rod_red.mdl

you now have to transfer the desired carmodel and tex file to the gfx folder in the data.zip and change the names of the above code to your selected car model name, i haven't tested every car model out as i already like the hot_rod car, but it's just a trial and error thing

for speed camera
you have to search for speed camera text file for your area,


there are 6 versions of this mod, 2 for the regular users, 2 for MSN users and 2 for EU/TMC users,
the reason i created two for each is because of the unit setting varying from different locations (setting a speed camera), so if the first one doesn't work for you then use the one with the alternate at the end of the filename

1) first off this is not an auto installer,
2)extract files and transfer all files to a freshly formatted SD card (for F500 users, you have to edit the device type part first to reflect the device type of the F500 before transfering it to the SD)
3)this already has testmode file so no need to add anything else
4)insert SD to unit,
5)boot up unit
***if this is your first time,PLEASE BACK UP YOUR FILES
6) copy DATA.ZIP, SYS.TXT, and DS-DIGI file to MYFLASHDISK\APL2\IGO
7) to add a different scheme, add the contents of scheme folder to MYFLASHDISK\APL2\IGO\CONTENT\SCHEME

**IT'S MANDATORY TO DELETE THE SAVE FILES, it's in My Flash Disk\USER\UserData\iGo\save, everything should be deleted except for favourites.dat if you have it

8 ) once done copying turn off the unit, remove sd card and then turn unit on,

if you find any bugs please post em up so i could get it fixed
any comments, suggestions, requests are welcome, anyone who wants to be a tester for upcoming mods please send me a PM,i need more than one set of eyes to get this thing going

any donations thru paypal are very much appreciated juliusniiya@yahoo.com

yes, i think the bug that you brought up is still there, haven't had a chance to work on it yet but for sure i'll include it on the next update,

i've got a question though, as far as i know the use for the demo mode is for display purpose, not sure why your using it but if you're using it to do a simulation then i suggest you click the simulation or the flyover on the route info screen,

IDT,

Great mod....You are amazing. One small bug that I found is in the custom settings menu. I get an error message and I think it is because it is trying to find the fade option and it is not there. It is not a biggy by any means, just thought you would want to know.

Regards,

M

Hi IDT,

first of all thank you very much for the new version of your mod. Looks very nice. I like having the knobs on the left side.

Since you are a very responsible person and since I have a fall back solution, if the pioneer doesn't work, I'll test it this week. I will drive some 1.000 Miles in Germany.

Set-up:

AVICF-900BT European version
SW: 3.02 (regular update)
minor adjustments of the local settings in the sys.txt (attached it)
using the regular EU-Version of your mod (not the alternate)

so long

Hannes

P.S.: So far I recognized, the speedlimit sign is double when selected to show. Use a workaround and let speedlimit show where Time To Destination and so on is shown.

Hi,

first impressions on a trip to Frankfurt a.M. (Germany).

Everything works fine besides the speedlimit-signs (double). 3D-buildings, TMC, Bluetooth, radar... all work well.

Everything is a little bit smaller now and the upper bar showing next waypoint is so far up, that I can hardly make out, what it is saying there. I am 6.4 feet tall driving a Japanese car, so my head is high and the unit is low, so I have a hard time figuring out, what it says in the upper part of the screen - excuse my English please... Not my day writing in English...

Thanks again for this great work! hmm, hardly dare to make a wish: It would be really awsome, if there was something on the screen, showing the TMC-status. My wife has a Clarion and I think it is very useful, to see, whether TMC is alive or not.

Greetings

Hannes

I actually do like this but it is not possible to accelerate the simulation speed.
You still did great job
I have a question: this version of mod V3.0 is the successor of version 3.0Final "skin1? Will you continue to update the version 3.0Final "skin1" because I like the skin of this version here. In your new version I find there is too much information at once.

don't use the DEMO mode to simulate a route, use the FLYOVER or the SIMULATION, when you have a route clickt the route function shortcut and you'll see on the bottom the SIMULATE and the FLYOVER button

ok I'll try like this
Thank's

Hi Julius,
Can you do anything about the number not being in the middle of the roundabout symbol.ie the exit number that is inside the symbol of the roundabout(don't know what they are called in the states)I know you fixed this before in IDT skin 1.I know it's a bit trivial but it does spoil the otherwise excellent appearance.TIA.PS it appears to be i only in the next turn icon not the primary one. (the small one)
