--------------------------------- Installation --------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


If you want to install the stock version of the Avantime including the Caravan
and the abillity to tow the Caravan, go to "Installation Part 1".
Note that in order to make the avantime able to tow the Caravan, it is important
to replace the "Utility" and the "Util_tr1"! Otherwise, you cant log on to the
Caravan!

If you want to install the mildly tuned version of the Avantime with special
new rims and slightly widened wheelarches, go to "Intallation Part 2".
Note that this tuned version is NOT able to tow the Caravan and therefore
replaces the "Huntley".


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------- Installation Part 1 -----------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


You decided to intall the stock Avantime and the Caravan.
There are two versions available, one with german licence plates and one with
San andreas Style licence plates. You can choose them by taking the dff-file
from either the folder "... (german plates)" or "... (SA plates).
The txd-file is the same for both versions.
It is imperative to replace the "Utilitly", otherwise, you will NOT be able
to tow the Caravan!


Now open your gta3.img file with ImgTool and delete the original four files
named "utility.dff", "utility.txd", "utiltr1.dff" and "utiltr1.txd".

Then add the following files from the downloaded archive:
Take the dff from the folder of you choice concerning the licence plates.
"utility.dff", "utility.txd", "utiltr1.dff" and "utiltr1.txd".


Now you have to edit the files "handling.cfg", "carmods.dat", "vehicles.ide" and
"carcols.dat" with your notepad and replace the original lines with those:

handling.cfg:

UTILITY      1500.0	3141.7	 2.5	0.0 0.0 -0.20 80  0.70 0.80 0.55	5 220.0 24.0 40.0  F P	9.0  0.45 1 26.0	1.1  0.10  0.0   0.25 -0.10 0.5  0.0		0.25 0.40 35000		00212020	01500003		1  1	13
