M3 GTR MW Port

This mod ports the performance of the BMW M3 GTR E46 ALMS from Need for Speed Most Wanted, while not replacing the one from Carbon. This mod is also a remake of my old mod "M3 GTR from MW Performance Port".

Features:
- You can choose to replace the generic BMW M3 GTR logo with the logos from Most Wanted (2005).
- Replaces the unlock from the regular BMW M3 GTR from the Reward Cards.
- Carbon's M3 GTR is now unlocked by beating Darius.
- Buyable from the car lot.
- Compatible with all mods that replace the M3 GTR mesh (Specially supports Archie's M3)
- You can choose if you want performance upgrades or not.

Notes:
- This mod is NOT compatible with any big mods (Except Improvement Mod) due to differences in car unlocks.

Installation:
Found at Readme.txt.

- The mod now has proper installation instructions included.
- Installation has now been made easier.

@Guibaesa I left it like that on purpose to get it as close as the Most Wanted version, including the sound. For a reason I ported the Transmission Whine from MW myself. Also, don't use VltEd, it destroys the internal structure of the game files it modifies allowing for crashes out of nowhere to happen so I don't use it anymore. Use OGVI, the tool I used to make the remake of this mod

Disregard the last comment, I just found out how.

1- Open NFS-VltEd with Need For Speed Carbon Main folder selected
2- Go the folder "caraudio/default/exotic/bmwm3gtr
3- Change the values to the desired sound:

Carbon M3 GTR Sound:

Engine_Vol = 12000
Collection = jag_xk_a
Rear_View_Eng_Vol_Percent = 30

MW M3 GTR Sound:

Engine_Vol = 10000
Collection = tvr_cerb
Rear_View_Eng_Vol_Percent = 60

Is there a way to revert it back to the way it sounded on the vanilla edition? What file do I have to edit?

@pucho2020 Fue removida porque VltEd daña la integridad interna de los archivos del juego que modifica. Así que no, perdón
