What is .COD from Ford Racing (1999) and does anyone have an idea to analyze this file format and start a new plugin to import CODs? D3Ds have ZLIB compression.

Thanks in advance.

.COD is too low poly so my interest is low.

First sub mesh only (of escort.cod):

Trial mode limitation: the exported 3D file will have every 5th polygon or triangle removed.
