Well considering this is a car forum and Grand Theft Auto is driving intensive I figured I'd make a thread for it in this section.

Here are some GTA IV screens

nice. but wheres your car? and this can only be done the computer and not a console?

Yup these are mods done for PC. Can't get them on the console

I would love to model a Phoenix, but I don't have the expertise or patience hahah

can you convert an existing 3D model to work in the game?

Maybe, if such a thing existed. lol

which files can be used to convert?

Well, you need to use a program called ZModeler. I know you can use Wavefront .obj files and .3ds files.

I'm just here for the pictures. I haven't had a GTA since vice city LOL

This is making me want to get back and playing GTA

ah ZModeler, used it once or twice, didnt get the hang of it so i gave up. add more Pontiacs in there.

I'm gonna add GM vehicles. I already added a 1970 Olds 442

I'm gonna take a stab at ZModeler and make a 78 Phoenix LJ over the summer as a little fun project.

look, pick, convert. search and repeat process.

Do a Montana... you won't!

Still no Phoenix lol and I can't download anything from there. I need to buy them.

oh my bad. ill look again when im on my computer and ill also check through my models cuz i have something that somewhat resembles it but i havent seen them in a few years so i cant be too sure.

I added this yesterday. Also, ghost, if you found me a late model 1st gen X-body (70s) it would help.

I'm gonna add some more late model stuff too. I already have the G8 and a Solstice. Currently on my list is an '87 Trans Am GTA and the Corvette C6

sweet. question, when you add those cars, do others online see them as they are? and whats different offline than online?

Online players see the regular skin, I still see mine though. What you do is replace and existing model with a custom one. For example that Trans Am overrides the SuperGT so when I get into the car it says "SuperGT" and all online players will see the regular SuperGT and I will see a Trans Am.

Most online games are just Free Mode where you do whatever around the city, so basically regular GTA minus the missions and with like 20 other people lol

interesting...FP crew maybe?

ok, anyways, this is what i thought would have been similar but after a few years not seeing it, i guess not.

i gots this...

i also haz Lamborghinis, Ferraris, a few classics, a few blown, SRTs, a few other imports, "tuned" C6, a few 60s, Cobra...

not sure how close this is (if at all) but you can always transform it and i know the second one is not even in the family but still.

How much is GTA for the PC now? Lol kinda want to do this

On Steam, GTAIV + The Episodes from Liberty City is $39.99. Just GTAIV is $19.99

My buddy just bought it the other day because he saw me playing and he hasn't regretted it haha. We love to mess around online. The problem is that a good server is hard to find but when you have a group playing something like "Cops n Crooks" its a blast.

And Ghost, that bottom one looks like a Nova, am I correct? It Definetly is in the shape of the Phoenix, The only thing different is obviously the front/rear and that little window between the windshield and the main side window doesn't belong. The Phoenix just has the primary window and the one in the back (which matches the shape of the Phoenix)

I guess the tricky part would be getting the Landau top in there.

you are correct. and i also am interested in playing.
