3. Development Notes
Author:
Jon-Jon Santiago
Co-Authors:
Satoru Takasugi, BigBen
Special thanks to BigBen for the JGTC .exe and AllDash, Tom McMahon
for the excellent RX-7 mesh used as the basis for the Okura and RE Amemiya cars, Dreadman
for the Ferrari 360/355 meshes, M@D69 for the Porsche mesh, and Satoru Takasugi
for being a generous and highly skilled teacher.
Much thanks goes to Jim McCabe (aka Fenderbender) for painting the Netz A'PEX MR-S and Gaikokuya
Porsche, as well as helping with the Espelir MR-S paintjob. Also thanks to Victor Harris (aka Quic Vic)
for helping paint the Jim Gainer Ferrari F355 and Sigmatec MR-S.

*Important Release Notes:
- Only 1 level of detail on the BP Kraft Trueno
- VEH files for the Mazda RX-7s and Toyota Celicas are NOT balanced with the rest of the car set.
The above issues will be resolved in a forthcoming patch.
4. Installation
If this is your first time installing the GT-300 Car Set Version 2.0, unzip both zip files into your SCGT
installation directory. If you are upgrading from a previous installation of the GT-300
Car Set Version 1.2, you need only unzip the second zip file.
*Important* Make sure you check the 'use folder names' option in WinZip so that the
files are extracted into the proper directories. The car set requires a specific directory
structure. Failure to extract the files into the proper directories will prevent the game
from running.
Installing Ban Scene MAS is required to be used with this carset.
To drive with the cockpit view, be sure to download BigBen's JGTC AllDash, otherwise
the game will crash if you attempt to drive while in cockpit view.
To properly animate the wheel skins, you must edit
your ANI.ANI file in the /DAT directory of your SCGT installation. Refer to the gt_300_ani.ani file
for the entries to be added.
Do not forget to leave a blank line for the end of your ANI.ANI file.
5. Recommended Add-On Files
Here is a list of add-on files that will enhance your JGTC experience for SCGT.
This carset is packed with a new EXE which is created by BigBen.
The new JGTC.exe will call new career seasons and the new JGTC Alldash.
The JGTC.exe's new career mode contains two classes, the GT-300 class for this carset
as well as the GT-500 class for Satoru Takasugi's beautiful GT-500 carset.
Your JGTC experience will be incomplete without Satoru's incredible cars. You
can download the entire 2000 season GT-500 carset here: Satoru Takasugi's GT-500 carset
The JGTC.exe's new career mode also calls some additional
tracks made by some of best track makers in the SCGT community.
You must have these tracks to play the full season of the
JGTC.exe. Failure to install these tracks before starting Career Mode
can cause your game to malfunction.

Bathurst
Brands Hatch
Circuit de Catalunya(Barcelona)
Hungaroring
Imola
Indianapolis
Interlagos

You can find links to these along with many other beautiful
tracks at SCGT track list page.
BigBen, dash master, created a new ALLDASH to be used exclusively for the GT-300 and GT-500 carsets
produced by Satoru Takasugi and I. You can get it here,
BigBens Alldash.
All the VEHs in this carset are tuned to be used with the SCGT
SOUND REALISM UPDATE.
You can get these updated sound files at the
US pits.
I hope you enjoy the GT-300 carset.
