*** REPLACEMENT RESCUE HELICOPTER #3 *** 

*** HOVER TOW SERVICE (flying tow-truck) ***

(a replacement rescue helicopter for Monster Truck Madness 2)



Place this at the top of your POD.INI file to replace the stock 2-rotor rescue helicopter with a new futuristic rescue-flyer.   A hovering jet-propelled tow-truck with animated flaming jet exhaust will position itself over you and rescue your truck with it's animated "TRACTOR BEAM" lifting device. New sounds effect included too! (The stock pterodactyl flyer remains unchanged).

----------------------HELP-INFORMATION-----------------------------

**** IMPORTANT ****

This part is important if you have never modified your POD.INI fle before....SAVE A COPY OF YOUR POD.INI FILE FIRST....

...if you create an error and can't correct it, you can replace your damaged POD.INI file with the saved duplicate original pod.ini.......Save the duplicate somewhere where you can find it again easily if needed, like on your desktop or in a temp folder.  

If you don't follow this advice and mess-up your MTM2 game, (it will no longer start)  then you will have to re-install the whole game to fix.




- How to modify your POD.INI file to add the new helicopter -

STEP#
1.  Use NOTEPAD to open your POD.INI file .......use your search or file-finder tool in Windows to locate it if neccessary....Your POD.INI file is in your Monster Truck Madness 2 game folder.

2.  Open  POD.INI  with NOTEPAD or WORDPAD.  This part is important....SAVE A COPY FIRST...if you mess-up, you can replace your damaged file with the copy pod.ini.......call it POD.INI.CPY or anything else you wish, and save it somewhere you can find it again if needed.

3.  locate the number at the top of the list,  retype the number to increase it by one, then create a new line below it and type HELI3.POD.  Make sure STARTUP.POD is listed below the new helicopter pod listing, or it won't work. 

4.  Save the POD.INI file...now when you crash and the helicopter comes to rescue you, it will be a new machine (the Pterodactyl "rescue-dinosaur" is unchanged).

--------------------------------------------
NOTES:

Every time you add a POD to your POD.INI file list, increase the number at the top of the list by 1...if you remove a (track or truck) POD, then decrease it by 1.

  DO NOT REMOVE any of the original stock PODs (the first 19 pods, ending with SUMMIT3.POD).



Here's an example of what your POD.INI list should look like when you are finished adding the new helicopter pod. The number at the top of the file should equal the number of PODs listed:
--------------------------
20
HELI3.POD
startup.pod
music.pod
sound.pod
truck2.pod
cockpit.pod
ui.pod
tpark.pod
alaska.pod
junk.pod
crazy98.pod
snake.pod
main.pod
aztec.pod
outback.pod
rockqry.pod
baja.pod
summit1.pod
summit2.pod
summit3.pod
---------------------------


 Normally, new add-on trucks and tracks are added to the BOTTOM of the pod.ini file, after SUMMIT3.POD...

...However, this special helicopter pod is an exception, as it is neither a track nor truck add-on, but rather a replacement for an existing game model. It has to be installed as shown to work.

ONLY POD ONE CUSTOM HELICOPTER AT A TIME!

...and...

HAVE FUN!
