It's not even included in the download. The instructions tell you to make a new install of the game. The folder must have a unique name, so instead of "gtaIII" I recommend you call it "GTA3_Curveshire" and once you understand that, you should understand where the file is: The "models" subfolder of the "GTA3_Curveshire" folder. It is a file which gets installed from the disk, then copied from your original install to the Curveshire install. It is a couple of hundred megabytes, which is too big to download, so you just use a simple tool to add the new data files. ------------------ (Grand Theft Auto Handling Editor \| GTA Tutorials)

When I move the player to the "tokens" (the ones where you can pick your cars) Of just stand at a distance of about 5feet away from the changing cars. The player just dies for no reason. It seems as if something just lands on top of him or something. Also are the roads suppose to go in a loop or does it end? Please, fix this, Thanks!

The "something comes out of nowhere and kills you" bug is known. I think it is a mission script bug but the mission scripter person (ghostmaster_2000) dissapeared months ago. If you jump instead of run when near the tokens it normally does not get you. The spiral is just to test with. Once the roads are heightmapped the spiral will be the actual road and there will not be a route around it. Are you having fun with the new handling? ------------------ (Grand Theft Auto Handling Editor \| GTA Tutorials)

Just a developement edition, although I shall release it publically if there is demand. Don't have an SCM for it currently, just using a featureless one. ------------------ (Grand Theft Auto Handling Editor \| GTA Tutorials)
