    Hey guys, it's taken possibly a little too long to get this finished, checked over, edited and formatted, but here it is!

    Click here for Start Button HowTo

    I hope you guys find this how-to easy to follow and understand. If you've got any questions or problems at all just send me a pm!

    Here's a quick vid of mine in action, in case you havent already seen it:

    lol, you can have it say whatever you want mate! Are you gonna do it or what? You should probably keep your emergency eject for the convertable, might be fairly painful in the VN! lol let me know how you go if ya go with it :thumbsup:

    new link to the how to is up check post #1 for the link. Vxwagman that's all i found in a hurry as i wanted to get the file up and i had to go to footy lol. It should be working fine now if you want to have a look.

    Veeque, i was bored one arvo and had some interest from a few jc members so i thought, "stuff it, i'll do it", and did it. lol.

    hey, i dunno how it's not working, unless you're just clicking the link because that doesnt work. Instead, right-click the link then choose "Save Target As..." and save it to your computer. I've just tried it myself and it works fine. Any more problems just let me know... sorry and hope its alright now :thumbsup:

    It just worked for me, but I couldn't get it to work the other day and I was doing it the correct way (Save Target As thing described above).
