VC Menu Editor

Download the Menu Editor by steve-m. Extract the files, start the program, and read the accompanying ReadMe. When everything is done correctly, the "Menu Screens" should show legible texts. Select 04. FEH_DIS. In "Menu Items", select FEDS_TB. Click the "Add" button. Select the duplicate FEDS_TB item and go to the "Associated Function" drop-down box and choose 009. In the "Target Menu" input box, set to 4. Set the X-position to 40 and the Y-position to 303. In the "Alignment" drop-down box, select "Left". In the "Menu Item Text" drop-down box, choose FED_TRA and click "Apply".

Note: If you use the original protected gta-vc.exe, you must start a new game. This is necessary, because the protected exe have trigger that disables all traffic and pedestrians after you load save file; this happens if any byte of exe file was changed. Use a cracked exe instead.
