	Michael Blunck was the first to release a new grf-file that could be used within TTD. The grf-files are very easy to install since you only load them into the game. None of the original grf-files are modified, they are just neglected for the sprites that are in the new grf-file(s). ~~For instance, making DBsetw.grf (w = Windows version of TTD) work requires the following steps:~~		Michael Blunck was the first to release a new grf-file that could be used within TTD.

			* Always make sure you have TTDPatch switches enabled (see [[NewVehicleGraphics\|New Vehicle Graphics]])
			* Check if you downloaded the correct version. Remember that DOS graphics don't work with the Windows version and v.v.
			* When using new grf-files, check if the configuration file is named correctly and if there are no spelling errors ''in'' the file.
			* Check if the new grf-file appears in the proper directory
