Power & Glory mod for GTR2 released

Get it here: http://www.racingfiles.net/simleague/gtr2/p&g/power&glory_1st_release.zip This is a historical version of GT Legends running in the enhanced GTR2 engine. Historical in that it simulates the era of 60s touring cars whereas GT Legends simulates the modern day FIA historic racing series with modern tyres and of course tracks. A number of variants of models are added (like a 1300cc Alfa and supercharged version as well as the standard GTL version). Cheers Tony

Thanks. Since building my latest PC build I haven't been able to play GTL because it installs Starforce and I want this PC to stay Starforce clean so now I will be able to.

Outstanding ! I just raced the AI for two hours at Oulton Park (short) with various cars (but mostly the Cooper S and the Alfa's) and it comes really close to the most fun you can proverbially have with your clothes on. Now we just need the Nordschleife 2007 conversion to GTR2 :) I really feel like I got a brand new sim out of the blue, including a gorgeous manual and most importantly cars with a soul, all for free. A true work of love ! This should definitely come with an addiction disclaimer. Regards, Mr. Sylvestre

I preferred GTL above GTR2, the cars were simply way more fun to race, but after buying a new pc I didn't install GTL again because of Starforce issues. It's great to be able to drive those cars with the GTR2 engine and what a perfect mod it is. Controlling these beasts and the feeling of racing on the edge reminds me a lot of a former favorite sim of mine :) Let's hope this mod does well in the community so we can have some decent online races again. Thanks for pointing out the manual (in the root dir), I would have missed that one otherwise :) Note: You must own/insert the GTL cd during the install. Cheers Andre

To be honest it is like a whole new sim. The physics are IMHO improved by using historic tyres and general tweaks, plus the GTR2 engine adds a lot. For me this is better than both GTL and GTR2 out of the box to be worth purchasing both if you don't have them. If you have been put off buying GTL by starforce you don't even need to install GTL.

So, I don't need to own/installed GTR2? This can be installed without effecting my current GTL installation? Just don't want to stuff up my current working installation of GTL Thanks.

It requires and runs in GTR2. It just needs the GTL CD/DVD to be present during install as it uses the GTL cars and an agreement has been made between Simbin and the modders. It won't effect your GTL install. So you need both GTR2 & GTL to run this. No doubt some will bulk at this just for a mod. My view is that it creates a GTL2 given the open nature of the sim allowing for converted tracks. Added weather, improved FFB, plus the mod adds better sound, updated graphics and historical physics. Bear in mind this is the 60s touring cars plus a few others, the GTs and 70s cars will follow. Cheers Tony

I have GTL but no GTR2 so I just ordered it used from Amazon... should have it as I seem to have every other sim known to man. I'm buying Race07 also, really like the "feel" of it. GP

Thx for this Tony, d/l now I also got new comp and had gtl but didn't want to install because of starforce. Rgds, Phil

---> > Thx for this Tony, d/l now I also got new comp and had gtl but didn't > want to install because of starforce.<--- Apparently, you have the opportunity to make a lot of money if you install starforce. I found this on the starforce site (I wanted to find out what it was): "StarForce is announcing world wide contest among users of StarForce protected applications!!! There have been a lot of rumors in the Internet concerning DVD/CD writers malfunction after installation and star-up of StarForce protected applications. Some have even mentioned that should such "malfunctioning" drive be placed in any other PC without StarForce protection installed it will fail to work as well. In the past year our staff and many of our clients tried restlessly to reproduce the matter based on these rumors. Using our hardware collection we assembled systems alike, but such problems never took place. Therefore, we have no proven facts of such issues and we have found out that all of these rumors are false. We have serious reasons to believe that such problems are pure fiction. However, if such problem does exist, it should be repeatable. Therefore, just to make sure, StarForce decided to have a worldwide contest among users of StarForce protected applications. Anyone who can reproduce and demonstrate the mentioned above problem with CD/DVD drive in our office will receive $10 000.00 US. You should arrive in our office with your PC or use any of our PCs and reproduce the problem. " link: http://www.star-force.com/protection.phtml?c=261&id=707

" It depends on what you consider "a lot of money". $10k USD barely covers the aggravation and travel time and expense. Sure, if they offer too much, it might motivate some to invent a problem that isn't there just to collect. If they were really serious, they would fly their engineers out overnight, loan me a dual quad while they figure out what they botched, *and* chum out some cash to make it worth my while to allow their fingers anywhere near the private and sensitive stuff that lives on every PC. Where I'm concerned, 10k amounts to a cheesy PR gimmick. Recognize it for what it is. They're not taking this at all seriously.

And how is anyone supposed to prove that Starforce buggered their malfunctioning drive and not something else? All you're going to have is a drive that doesn't work in your machine and their machine. Starforce creators aren't going to want to admit it was their software that killed it now, are they? -- Pete Ives Remove All_stRESS before sending me an email

(In fact I only ever drive rFactor because it runs without having to find a disk). So this is a good excuse to pick up a cheap copy of GTR2 -- from Play.com for 12.99ukp inc. postage in my case -- and see how this mod feels. It sounds well worth investigating. Andrew McP

You can run GTR2 with no disk too as there is a crack available for the latest version of GTR2.

Can't I run the Cortina's etc. in season mode with this mod? I only see a season for the IROC cars they added.

I don't think you will be dissapointed. I really like the addition of the TR4. It is a hoot to drive. Ed

The crack says it is for the patch#4 version of MVP2004, which I have installed, and yet the game still asks for the cd even with the crack installed.
