------------
Cooper T73 add-on car is a car add-on for GT Legends, GTR2, Race 07/Race Injection and rFactor race sim games, made by BorekS and team.
The showroom application is a virtual garage for car model, you can rotate and zoom the car there.
The showroom application, if runs in a window mode, allows to refresh a texture edited in another paint tool.
The showroom application is also a genstring code help tool - by switching the code table value the skin maker can immediately see what for current mesh will change. Such genstring codes are used at car-addons.
The showroom application runs in a native 1024x768 fixed screen resolution.
