Then insert Disk 2 and copy the file labelled "VETTE! Data" to the same folder. Double-click on "Start VETTE!" or "VETTE!" depending on your Macintosh model. See below for more details.
Ñ Color version: Create a folder called "VETTE!" on your hard drive. Insert VETTE! Disk 3. Double-click the file "Color VETTE!

Double-click on "Color VETTE!" to start the game.
LOADING THE PROGRAM:
Ñ To run the black-and-white version on a Mac Plus, SE or Classic, double-click the "Start VETTE!" icon. To run the black-and-white version on any other Mac model, double-click the "VETTE!" icon. The black-and-white version must be run under System 6.0.2 or later. If you're running the black-and-white version on a color system, you must change the Monitors setting in the Control Panel to "Black & White."
Ñ To run the color version, double-click the "Color VETTE!" icon. The color version must be installed to a hard drive before running the game. If you're running the color version, you must change the Monitors setting in the Control Panel to "16 colors." In addition, the color version must be run under System 6.0.5 or later and with 32-bit QuickDraw installed in the System Folder.
RUNNING THE PROGRAM UNDER MULTIFINDER:
Ñ The black-and-white version requires 900K under MultiFinder. In addition, the black-and-white version cannot be run under MultiFinder on a Mac Plus, SE or Classic. Also, on these three Mac models, before starting the game you must turn off the RAM cache, reboot your computer, and then run the game.
Ñ The color version requires at least 1500K under MultiFinder.
MAXIMIZING GAME SPEED: If you follow the tips below, you will increase the program's animation speed. The tips below are listed in order of which ones we suggest you try first.
Ñ Turn off the rear view mirror by pressing Cmd-6 or F6.
Ñ Press "S" to turn the sound off.
Ñ Drive from inside the car (Cmd-2 or F2) instead of the helicopter view (Cmd-4 or F4).
Ñ For the black-and-white version only, press "V" to turn off the horizon and remove the hand from the steering wheel.
Ñ Turn down traffic density by adjusting your Preferences from the Options menu.
Ñ For the black-and-white version only, press "W" to change the 3-D objects from solid to wireframes.
Ñ Turn off the buildings by pressing "B."
Ñ Play the black-and-white version of VETTE! instead of the color version. Just double-click on "Start VETTE!" or "VETTE!" instead of "Color VETTE!"
Ñ If you've changed the default settings in the Preferences dialog box, you should make sure "Outline" is set to off and "Block Size" to "3 x 2."
MANUAL ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS:
Ñ Page 5: "Press Cmd-1 or F1 to get to the inside front view" should be changed to "Press Cmd-2 or F2 to get to the inside front view."
Ñ Page 15 and 24: You can steer your car with either the numeric keypad or with the corresponding letter keys (I-J-L-M). The game will default to the numeric keypad if available. You can press Cmd-N to switch to the numeric keypad or press Cmd-K for the keyboard.

A "Vehicular manslaughter" ticket will cost you 30 seconds of penalty time. The penalty time will be automatically added to your race clock as soon as you receive your ticket. (Note: we have removed the "Evading arrest" ticket and changed "Moving violation" to "Hit and run.")

GRAVIS MOUSESTICK:
Ñ To install the VETTE! preferences for the Gravis MouseStick, use the Set Mover program that comes on your MouseStick Utilities disk. Double-click the Set Mover program, and click the "Open" button. Double-click on the "MouseStick Prefs" file in your System Folder. Insert VETTE! Disk 1, click the "Open" button, and then double-click on "VETTE! MouseStick Prefs." Highlight the four VETTE! MouseStick Prefs and press the "Copy" button. This will copy the VETTE! MouseStick preferences to your MouseStick Prefs file.
Ñ When you use the MouseStick with VETTE!, go to the Control Panel and select the appropriate settings for your screen size: "Vette! 512*342 Screen" for the standard 9" screen of the Mac Plus, SE and Classic; "Vette! 512*384 Screen" for the Mac LC's 12" screen; "Vette! 640*400 Screen" for the Mac Portable; and "Vette! 640*480 Screen" for the Mac 13" RGB monitor.
Ñ To drive with the MouseStick, first choose "Joystick" under the Steering options. You will also probably want to adjust your Preferences since they are set for keyboard control. We suggest setting the "Minimum turn" all the way to the left and setting the "Maximum turn" near the center position. Also, you may find it easier to accelerate with the keyboard rather than pushing the joystick forward.
