| The Lair and Valley 1.0 |
In 2004 TheWraith517 roped in an Australian C.O.D map maker to work on the Lair and some valley mesh plates while trying to get a workable texture for that, the GUi and the Audio & Handling mods. Sadly the cod guy didn't want any recognition on this mod because the gta community slammed this mod and banned TheWraith517 for posting it on gtaforums(dot)com. Another project not only slanted by the Airwolf community with zero help at all, but also shunned by the GTA Community as well. We can only provide a few files at the moment, more in the future. So keep an eye on the MISC FILES tab for those.

The original plan was to build the valley behind the stadium. This was a plan we stuck to and each plate was made separately in 3D Studio Max.
Oddly after we mapped in the Shrubs, Trees and bushes it caused an unusual error where the "Tarbush Cafe" appeard under the valley floor.
With no access to the GTA Community we could only assume that was down to an object ID crossing over loading zones.
The idea of individual plates meant that you could re-map, rotate and position pieces in any order you wanted, even duplicate lines within the IPL, then open that in mooMapper and move the duplicated section to another position.
In the right frame of mind you could pretty much expand the valley as big as you wanted.
One thing this mod lacked was a modified paths file, to remove boats from that area.

The valley sections where also designed so you could drive or ride a motorbike up them, meaning the valley also doubled as a stunt area where you could rack up some rewards for pulling off some pretty insane stunts.
The games GXT file was also modified to list Valley Of The God's across the screen when you arrive in that area of the game.

This was one of the concept shots wraith sent to the map maker (because he'd never seen the show) It's rare you get to see behind the scenes so its been great to see these images being released here.
Seams like many many years since anyone worked on a VC Addon / Mod related to Airwolf
Hope they do in the future..

Known Issues With This Mod
===============================
On Some 64MB Graphics Cards A Lod File doesn't Appear,
So You Cant See The Far Corner Map Plate Near The Back Until Your Closer To It
Just Like Some Standard Vice City Buildings. (It Wont effect The Running Of The Mod)
There is Information On How to Tweak The Lod files In This Zip.
[ For LOD Extras Read The Other Readme File ]
