- ============
-
- Once a year, a group of small villages in the Swiss Alps, close their roads to the public for
- the annual Three Peaks race.
-
- The race attracts a lot of local amatuer racers and have a reputation of being rather slow!
- Because of this, they are prone to outlandish tactics to try and stop faster competitors
- passing them.
-
- They don't care what happens to their cars, as long as you and everybody else stays behind
- them.
-
- Installtion.
- ============
-
- You will of needed to selected 'CUSTOM INSTALL' when installing TNFS and
- selected the 'Install MISC files' option.
-
- If you have done, you will find a \SIMDATA\MISC sub-directory under your main
- NFS directory.
-
- Copy the TR3.TRI file into this directory and you will find that selecting
- 'Vertigo Ridge' from the menu gives you the 'Mountain' track.
-

- TR3.TRI file from the SIMDATA\MISC on your CD-ROM into the SIMDATA\MISC
