A lot of us older users have changed our names, for instance you, The Doctor, so it's confusing to me who is who.
Luckily for those of us that came late the download section has mod versions dating back to 0.1. I got bored a while back and messed around with them. They aren't as intensely coded so its easy to mod them and find other mods that work well with them.
-
I believe it is a modded version of 0.2d. Looks like it had the VC train mod, plus some other mods that added a user made Hill Valley. The train mod had a name but I forget. It was the one where the map from GTA III was connected to Vice City and you could take the train all around. Fun mod. I think it was State of Liberty.

Whats really bad is when you're so bored you go play version 0.1. Ah the humble roots of this mod... That might a bin a little bit before my time, or when I knew this mod existed.
I do however miss the old versions of the mod with KITT. Yes I know I can just go download the Knight Rider mod and install it on its own game. Which Ive done already and VC missions with KITT is a blast. But its not the epic fusion of famous vehicles as it once was in 0.2c.

You're cool if you remember this place:
You know you're even cooler if your like me and found the link to that place while surfing the old moddb forum for lost memories.
Unfortunately I also found this while surfing around those old forums:
Its been great to be here and watch this place grow and fade from time to time and see where things go and how far we've come.
Am I the only one who still has a copy of 0.2c on my hard drive and plays it from time to time to compare the difference and mess around with KITT and his epic abilities?
-
Yes it is a fantastic feature.
I am however going to close this topic now, mainly because this is the feature request forum and this feature is already implemented in 0.2f. If you with to continue discussing 0.2f features that are already implemented there is a proper section for that.
Closed.

No. There isn't one compatible with 0.2e. The one that was painstakingly built for 0.2f will be exclusively for 0.2f and newer versions of the mod. And let me tell you it is way worth the wait.
-
...Wow, that's actually pretty fantastic. Definitely not for GTA though. Too HD especially the plants and water reflections on the road.
Maybe GTA IV?
-
Though I stick by the fact that any movie with a BTTF reference or cameo in it is worth watching once.

That movie was sooooooo bad.

Glad you got it figured out
Also this is the feature requests forum not the general mod questions forum.
Closed.

I think he was trying to be funny knightprowl I wouldn't take it so seriously. Thanks for the edit though.
@Trancelikestate: I agree the vehicles look fantastic and would be glorious in IV (as would other certain mods, I can think of one in particular...) if you still need help with saved game files in IV I would check out GTA Forums: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=388680

I don't think American HO is compatible with Marklin track, doesn't it use a third rail for power?
-
Yes Orgcon, I am. I usedy pay a visit every couple of days and when things get posted in certain topics, but lately I've been on each week maybe a couple of weeks in between to check up on things since its been real slow and there's only like 2 members each time I'm online. I've been busy with life as most of us have been. I'm not much a big poster these days either unless its something important or something needs moderation, which isn't often. I'm not the only one from the old days back at moddb that doesn't get on as much as they should...

@Knight Bob
Well my rails are standard HO scale flexible modelers track, nothing special, but its ace for building your own layout. I'm not a big fan of easy track or anything. But the first locomotive (the old one) was a tyco/mantua OO scale locomotive, this new one is a Bachman Spectrum DCC 4-6-0 light steam low boiler with sound. It and the delorean are being built to HO Scale this time around so it fits in with most of my other models and looks great on my layout. HO locomotive are compatible with OO scale but OO is a little bit taller than HO but they share the same track.

Hey guys,
Just thought I'd show everyone what I've bee up to lately. Besides work and finishing up college in my free time I've been doing a little modeling. I'm building a new updated and more professional looking HO Scale model of the railroad delorean and locomotive No. 131 from Back to the Future part III. Now for those that don't know I've made similar models in the past:
Here's the whole set
Just a look at the modified Johnny Lightning DeLorean
But to me they were a little out dated and I only had the beta version of that model. Originally I made two separate models of the locomotive and the later one that was better and had more details I sold to some BTTF fans on ebay.
So I decided it was time to start fresh and make a new set of models. The problem with my old RR delorean is I used Johnny Lightning's 1:64 scale time machine delorean from BTTF 2 as a base model for the set. It was just a little too bit for the tracks and I had to cut into the metal bottom of the car to make it fit properly. Also the metal base of the care would short out the DC powered model train track. So I'm using Hot Wheel's new BTTF delorean for this model. YES I know its not as detailed, but I'm working on that too, adding as much detail as possible. And its slightly smaller, allowing it to fit on the rails a lot better. Here are some progress shots, keep in mind its a work in progress:
Hover Mode Activated
I've also painted a lot of details if any of you own a Hot Wheels time machine you will notice there is a major difference in the coloring so far. I've even added a Mr. Fusion!
Wheel change in progress
Once I get the railroad wheels fitted I'll build the box for the front of the car.
This is the old train
Here's the start of the new train, here I was replacing the cab with a more movie accurate one
New lamp box
Delorean on track, doc climbing the side of the loco
Some shots of the new tender load of real wood I cut and modeled to the tender to replace the coal.
Looks great to me!
Overhead shot
Test shot of the new smoke stack, not quite right though, don't worry I plan on fixing it to look more accurate
Work in progress on the new vector decals for the train
Well that's it for now, I will continue posting updates as I finish this model. Thanks for looking!

That's really nice! I have to say that would be a blast to fly around and it looks completely epic at night.
-
I was going to say it felt like its been a bit longer than two years. I barley remember the MODDB forum I mostly remember our first website and the cheesy design it had. lol good times. Nice sketchup of Marty though.
-
There should be especially with all the new bttf merch coming out soon but a guy can dream.
-
Hey that's not bad! A delorean monster truck in game would be so epic.
-
Is that a steam train in san andreas?!
-
Wow they seem a little too expensive, I would rather make my own with USB 3.0 and maybe some working headlights like was mentioned by Jen. Definitely a really cool idea though.
-
I wonder if the mod would run smoother and crash less on a mac?
-
Do you wear the hat around a lot? Do people get it or at least comment on it?
-
Great! Now that the No. 3 loco is also restored, maybe we could get them to push the delorean again? lol
