-----GTA IV Plane Pack-----

******All planes are NOT FINISHED. They all have problems, and some are impossible to get into without a trainer******


Note: I did not create any of these models, all credit goes to the creators, and original converters:

rage		- Skimmer, Rustler and Shamal
Switch Designs	- Hydra, Naboo Starfighter
udihow		- Airbus A319, SAAB Gripen, Piper J-3 Cub, Cessna 152 and Boeing 757-200


There are 11 planes included in this, 5 were converted from San Andreas:
Hydra

Rustler
Shamal
Skimmer
Naboo		(Starwars Naboo N1 Starfighter)
757		(Boeing 757-200)

*to spawn a plane with a trainer enter the name on the left


-----Installation-----
1.) Backup any file that you edit or replace!

2.) Drop folders into your GTA IV directory. Done.
*If you have ANY map mods or have ADDED (not replaced, but added) any cars, or have replaced/edited 'gta.dat', 'default.dat' or 'images.txt' please follow the instructions below.

2.A) Open 'gta.dat' (common\data) and add this line at the very bottom of it (in the Lod Cullers section):
IDE common:/data/planes.ide

2.B) Open 'images.txt' and add this line at the bottom after "platformimg:/data/maps/east/bronx_w2	0":
platformimg:/models/cdimages/planes 1

2.C) Add these lines to 'default.dat' near the bottom:
HANDLING common:/data/planehan.dat
VEHOFF common:/data/planevehOff.csv

And that should be it.


-----Optional-----
1.) To change the color of some planes open 'carcols.dat' and add this after the first list of cars (the last default car is the yankee, should be ~250 lines down):
skimmer,	124,124,124, 114,114,114, 9,9,9,
shamal,		113,113,113,
dodo,		118,118,118, 113,113,113,
rustler,	102,102,102,

2.) This is if you want the airplane to spawn on it's own, if you're using a trainer there's no need for this. Open 'cargrp.dat' and add the name of the plane to any group you want to use the plane.
For example if you wanted the dodo to spawn at the airport: 
dodo, airtug, feroci2, perennial2, bus, ripley, # POPCYCLE_GROUP_AIRPORT_WORKERS

3.) To change the Hydra model to make it have landing gear, change the name of the "Landing Gear Down_hydra.wft" to "hydra.wft" (located in the _Extras folder) and then use SparkIV to replace te hydra.wft in the planes.img file (located in pc\models\cdimages).

4.) To change the skin of the an airplane to a different one, change the name of the wtd file you want to use ("American Airways Skin_airbus.wtd" or "AstroJet_757.wtd") to "airbus.wtd" or "757.wtd" (extra wtd files located in the _Extras folder) and then use SparkIV to replace the wtd file, of the same name, in the planes.img file (located in pc\models\cdimages).


-----Trouble Shooting-----
[Q] Game crashes at loading, and I don't have any other added vehicles.
[A] Make sure that you've added the correct lines to 'gta.dat', 'images.txt', and 'default.dat'. Also make sure that all the files are in the right folders.
If there still is a problem try adding a hashtag (#) in front of a plane (or multiple planes) in the 'planes.ide' file, this will prevent that plane from loading. For example, this would make it so the dodo wouldn't load:
hydra, hydra, plane, HYDRA, ...
#dodo, dodo, plane, TRASH, ...
rustler, rustler, plane, TURISMO, ... 

[Q] Game crashes at loading, and I have added other vehicles.
[A] There seems to be a limit to the maximum numbers of added vehicles allowed, and these count towards that (for instance I can only add 38 vehicles, others can add over 40 - some can only add ~20). Try following the above instructions.

[Q] My trainer wont spawn the planes, or wont spawn them with me in them, how do I fix this?
[A] Try using a different trainer, I recommend Simple Native Trainer 6.4, you can download it here:
http://www.gtagaming.com/downloads/gta-iv/script-mods/2115

[Q] Game crashes ingame, I have it so the planes spawn with cargrp.dat.
[A] Remove the planes from cargrp.dat and just spawn them with a trainer.

[Q] Rustler spawns upside down, whats going on?
[A] I don't know, just flip it back over with a trainer.
