This document contains info how to install new car shapes for the season
'98 add-on. To find out how to install the rest of the add-on, please
refer to README.TXT !

The package contains two .DAT files:
- 98SHAPE.DAT   (new '98 style car shapes)
- ORIGINAL.DAT  (original GP2 car shapes)


Installation  :
---------------

To install the new '98 car shapes, you'll need Paul Hoad's Car
Shape Editor v0.98 or higher. You can download this editor at
http://www.gp2.com/

After launcing the editor, choose "OPEN" from the file menu and then load
the 98SHAPE.TXT file. Then choose "Export to GP2.EXE" from the file menu.
You'll receive "succesfully patched" message, the new car shapes has been
installed. If you'll receive an error message, you'll have to change the
GP2.EXE file location from the edit-menu.


Trouble Shooting  :
-------------------

The car shape editor, is not very advanced, so GP2 won't draw the cars
very good. You'll see this especially at the start of the race, when other
cars have the original GP2 car shapes. You'll have to wait until this
problem will be fixed.

To get rid of the new '98 car shapes, you can restore the orginal settings
from the ORIGINAL.DAT file.
