Can you please put a step by step on how to do the 3d cars? I tried following idt's but can only modify the sys text

Add the following codes below to sys.txt then put the .mdl and .tex file of the car you selected in the "gx" folder of Data.zip. Make sure 3dcars is in the Igo folder.

[map]

3d_scale_carmodel=1

3dcarsizemin=5000

3dcarsizemax=8000

3dcarsizemul=30000

[3d]

;change the .mdl file to the car you selected

car_day=flying_carpet.mdl

car_night=flying_carpet.mdl

ghost_day=flying_carpet.mdl

ghost_night=flying_carpet.mdl

[3dcar]

work_dir="\My Flash Disk\APL2\iGo\3DCars" location of 3dCars folder

mortscript="\My Flash Disk\APL2\iGo\3DCars\Themechanger\MortScript.exe" ;location of MortScript.exe

diaftia or anyone,

I added a button to the quick menu to launch an application but after launching the app, the "OFF" button on the lower right corner appears with the app. How do I launch it without the "OFF" button?

Hey Alex, IDT has added a mapchanger to his latest mod, which is AWESOME! With this you really can have the best of both worlds. Just a hell of a suggestion for your next update

The Map changer is on the list but I don't think it will make the next version due to sheer number of extras going in already. Probably the one after that.

Keep the suggestions coming though you might just come with something that has not been thought about.

Cheers

I appreciate your help. I have another question. How do I zoom in to make the car fit perfectly on the road as shown on the image on the first page? I tried adjusting the smart zoom settings but I can't zoom in close enough, the car image is alot bigger than the road.

Guys, This is an already excellent mod! IDT has worked hard on this and trust me, I know, it is NOT an easy task. Asking him to make these changes to his mod for your own personal use is not cool. This is a MOD FORUM! If you want to make changes to suit your needs ..... Do it yourself! All the information is here in this forum. Do the legwork, READ, and most importantly use the search function.

Now look at you!!!! What about all the garbage you just posted on the other thread?

First of all, I did not requested the zoom in/out button for personal use. Since I read on the same thread that someone said that the on/off button was useless, that is way i thought about the zoom in/out button. i didn't know that you can do that with the volume knob. If I knew before I would have not requested the feature.

So, instead of blasting away, why not pointing out the volume knob?

***My apologies to the owner of this thread for the above***

Will this work on a x920bt? Also do I have to option of having it in KM instead of Miles as I am in Canada?

I don't believe that the X920BT is out yet. It should be available shortly, I believe in March. As far as your answer....NO, this unit does not run Windows CE and cannot be modified. It runs Windows Mobile 5.5 which is the same OS as the Z100BT which to this day still cannot be modded.

The X920BT is out. I will have it Thursday. Well that sucks.... Can I at least change the background images through the AVIC GUI? Future Shop also has these units in stock now.

My mistake.... I am getting the x910bt.... Does this help me as far as modding goes?

Yes, the X910 DOES run Windows CE and can be modded. The new X920 unfortunately cannot

I thought all of windows ce apps loads on windows mobile. I tried some of the apps made for windows ce and they all loaded just fine with windows mobile.

Arrrgh..... my mistake, it is Windows Auto 5.5 ( I think), NOT Windows Mobile 5.5. It is a unique OS that Microsoft developed for automotive use. It is almost run on a DOS based system which is a lot faster, however, it does not have a windows environment that can be modded.

diaftia or anyone,

 

I added a button to the quick menu to launch an application but after launching the app, the "OFF" button on the lower right corner appears with the app. How do I launch it without the "OFF" button?

You will be able to change the buttons in the next version through the GUI.

For now you just need to use another image. Usually I have to create an image in photoshop and save it as a BMP with how I want it. In your case just use an image that works for now and you should be able to more easily get this done in the future.

This is a great mod, thanks for compiling all the work and for all the hard work of those who made the mods, thank you too!

One question:

How does one change orientation/perspective modes? For example on the 3.0 firmware one could click on the compass and the views would toggle from 2D North Up, to 2D Direction up, to 3D driver's perspective.

I am not quite sure how to do this! I went on a roadtrip and for certain segments there were issues with this... the road was viewed sideways and I was traveling along it in the same direction. It was very confusing and frustrating, because of my ignorance, lol.

Please comment.

Thanks again.

Tap the compass in the upper RH corner. It changes the views.

I put it on my x910, works fine.

The X series has the same OS and firmware as the F series. This will probably be the end of the line for Pioneer and Windows CE. Their new X920BT coming out in March shares the same OS as the Z110 meaning it cannot be moddified

ABB1 - Thanks for the reply. I think I used an outdated Testmode folder as I got a not enough memory (on SD Card) message when trying to create a backup for MyFlashDisk. I'll give it another shot with the Testmode folder downloaded from the link in this thread.

While navigating Windows Explorer on the AVIC unit I noticed that there is a folder entitled something like "Copy of MyFlashDisk". I was having a difficult time hitting the very tiny copy & paste command lines when I attempted to create the backup. Did I accidentally paste the MyFlashDisk folder back onto the AVIC unit with one of my attempts or is that "Copy of" folder supposed to be there?

Edit - Tried to create backup once more with new Testmode folder. I still get the not enough room on SD Card (8gb) error message. I then entered the MyFlashDisk folder and selected and copied all files and folders from within MyFlashDisk and successfully pasted to the SD Card. "Copy of MyFlashDisk" folder is no longer present on the AVIC unit so I guess this was part of the unsuccessful copy and paste. I have now loaded the mod and all seems to work good. I just need to figure out the various options and features.

Thanks for the awesome mod ... was almost tired of my F90BT...... this makes me want to keep it now. I'll try and post some pics of my install in an f250.

I too love this mod.....Has anyone had any luck getting 3D cars working on Daftias...I tried a couple times and and it gets stuck on system startup screen ....im guessing I have an error in my sys.txt ... I used IDT's sys.txt corrections to run the cars it works on his mod thought it would be the same for Daftias...any help would be awesome.

this is mod is working great, just wondering if there is any way to change the "SPEEDO" color from red to blue? or any other color for that matter?

Its an image. You can use any image you want as long as its a BMP that is 800x480 in size. You will have to open up the data.zip and replace the AJG_Carbon.bmp image. Be aware though that the image has backgrounds built in to make some text easier to read.
