    There are these low quality entities flying around Vice City such as the blimp, banner dodo, or the police maverick, all of them are set to follow their own path. I'm thinking that it would be cool to see them reskinned to look like flying cars and have more of them at once, making it look like the skyway in the movie.

    Alright, I've done some reasearch (what the hell is going on with my grammar recently) research. Unfortunately the only thing I was able to find was this GTA VCS mod for GTA SA, which has been dead for a while but has got the map. I really don't know much about these things, but would it be possible to extract the map from that mod?

    thing is the only reason some of the gta vc buildings change is because their models were already there, feel free to convert the models and release them to the public though

    What do you mean? Are there actually buildings in Vice City that change depending on time? If so, I never noticed.

     I like that concept and I think it's do-able. And I think you mean "era" when you say "time zone." At first I thought you were talking about a map conversion of the other GTA games' maps, like "GTA United", but with actual time zones.

    Yeah, no idea why I said it like that.

    I know that the map of Vice City is not the main focus and if there ever was a full version of the mod with a full map of HV it would be useless, but I've always had the idea to integrate some of the map elements from Vice City Stories, there are some differences, such as Sunshine Autos still being built in VCS. It would be really cool to see some of these features integrated into the map at different time zones. :)

    The suspension in the BTTF3 DeLorean is a little higher, specially in the front, but the back is pretty much the same height. It's still a DeLorean, after all.

    What do you thing it's missing?, the rear is the same as the BTTF2 ones.

    I could have sworn it was a lot higher in 0.2e..

    As for the second point, I was right in assuming something was missing, There's some pipes present behind the plutonium reactor which by canon were removed once mr fusion was put in place. I must have had a brain fart and thought it was previously on all other versions, it wasn't.

    I can't help but notice that the suspension on the BTTF 3 DeLorean is way too low than it should be, the previous version had the perfect height and it just gave it that ideal look. Is there a reason why the new version is lower? 

    Since im creating this topic I may aswell ask, is it just me or is there something missing between the rear vents? :| Just above the license plate.

    :D

    The picture has been taken on Vice Beach on the east coast of Vice City.

    Since you guys are on the topic, just something I thought about while playing recently - did you guys consider placing Hill Valley on that beach instead of out in the sea?

    Looks amazing, would it actually be possible to make it like a real in-game garage that opens? Could it be coded to work like the modding garage at sunshine autos? Realistically this would be the place to work on the delorean.

    I don't think we mind people taking to and adding to the mod.  But if they are then going to release their version
    A ) they should make sure that the appropriate people are credited
    B ) they should call it something else

    We purposely chose different version number for GTA SA to avoid people being confused between what is a VC mod, and what is a SA mod.  But for example it looks like someone has released a "0.2f megamod" for GTA SA, which only serves to confuse people. 

    What's also really frustrating is that some of these mod's use 0.2f models which were leaked out (by Mr Fusion, thanks man <_<) these models have been converted, without our permission and placed in SA and IV.  Someone has already taken the 2015 taxi from 0.2f and converted it without permission - even though we have already stated that all 0.2f models will be released for GTA SA very soon.

    But if they're going to make large additions such as the train bridge shown in the video, wouldn't it be better for them to put their effort into the main thing?

    No, we haven't chosen a place yet, so are open to suggestions on where to locate hill valley in GTA SA.

    Please suggest some locations where we could put it.

    I'm thinking that the best place would be where Area 69 is. If there was a way to remove the military base, it would be the perfect spot. A flat open area, single road leading to it, train tracks just south of it (also with a train bridge just to the west). And best of all, its a desert, so if you guys weren't planning to model the whole town square for 1885, then having just the clocktower alone in the middle of the desert would be great (instead of the current version where its all 1950's with an 1885 clocktower). I'll try to do some research to see if it's actually possible to remove parts of the vanilla map.

    I've been following the forums closely for the past few months, and noticed that before the release of the newest mod version, the team was planning to end it there, however after the release and fans getting together on here, it seems that the team is once again motivated to carry on with the mod. So are there actually any plans to move onto another GTA game? I've read that Vice City was chosen instead of San Andreas because of difficulty with modding particles. However, the FAQ says that the modding process allowed the team to learn a lot of new skills. 

    I'm sure most people would agree that if the mod was to be further developed, it would be ideal to move it on to San Andreas - yes, the game is 10 years old now, but it would even a far better choice than the most recent GTA V, since the games engine and modding capabilities have still not been fully explored. San Andreas also beats VC through features such as trains, california setting (and deserts!), the hydra being pretty much an obvious choice for modding the flying delorean onto, etc. 

    I've gone on a bit of a rant but I like starting discussions and hearing others out. So yeah..
