Owners' manual
===========

The Vintage Car became an oldtimer classic, so it was inevitable that authorities discover the popular model and enhance it with some features to make it a perfect patrol car.

Below are some tips to get you started.

How to drive
++++++++

W,A,S,D or arrow keys - the usual controls for throttle/brake, turning.

E, C or PageUp, PageDn - Shift gear up/down

E+C together - Handbrake: use it at greater speeds, but beware as your car may roll over.

Shift-Right - Siren on/off

Shift-Left - Headlights on/off

Touch the car to invoke the menu:

HUD - toggle HUD

NEXTCAM, PREVCAM - select next/previous camera setting of the 4 presets.

Customizing the textures
+++++++++++++++

After each rezzing you have 2 minutes to change a texture. We advise you to only change the logo using the full perm textures you receive in the car's box.

We DO NOT provide support on how to paint a logo in Photoshop/Paint Shop Pro/Gimp/etc.

Texurizable components:

* license plate
* roof
* left, right doors
* back part of the car with the star on it

Security
++++++

Ejecting unwanted passengers is achieved by typing the intruder's full name on channel 990. The name is not case sensitive and the car's owner CANNOT be ejected.

I.e.:
/990 John Doe
/990 joHn doE

FAQ
===

Q: The car accelerates slowly in 3rd gear unlike in my other SL vehicles!
A: Yes, it is sorta like in RL, 1st gear has the shortest gear ratio, so it accelerates best in 1st.

Q: How does the hand brake work?
A: When turning, press (and possibly hold) 'E' and 'C' keys together. If you do it at high speed it's more fun, but it can roll your car over, so beware!

Q: When turning, the wheels don't turn too smooth.
A: This is because the only sane way to turn a prim is by a script function that has a built-in delay of 0.2 seconds. Lindens promised a similar function without delay coming in the near future.

Q: The front wheels sometimes spin a bit too much.
A: This is because of another SL function that renders the spinning client side.

Q: The gearbox makes an awfully loud sound when shifting gears.
A: We love that sound too.

Feedback
++++++++

If you have any comments, feedback, please IM the proper person (see credits). You will more likely get a response if you ask Jenne about the awesome sculpts she made or the textures she made and you will more likely get a response about the controls or anything related to scripts if you IM Mandy.

Your feedback is appreciated.
