Nice work Tommie, the car(s) look great. I'm just curious though - there are a number of .3DO files in your download which start with odd characters such as "{" and "&". Is this really how they are meant to be named? I assume it's ok, because everything seems to work fine, it just seems a little odd that's all.
Yeah, the 1969x mod has so many cars (44) I ran out of letters to use
. The original 1969x mod uses the tire prefixes from the first Brabham slot for all three slots. However tires and rims changed during the season and I wanted my update to reflect that, so I asked Lee if he could do something about it. He made a new 90.xml for me with new tire prefixes for two of the three Brabham graphics options to make this possible 
.The original 1969x mod uses prefix 'a' for c00, c30 and c40, my update uses prefix 'a' for c00, '{' for c30 and '&' for c40.
So that's why I've made a special mention of it in the readme when uninstalling. If you uninstall the update and don't reinstate the original 90.xml, the mod won't work anymore, as it can't find the tires for slot c30 and c40. This way there can never be any problems
.
