The cars react and move in a believable way, and cornering, braking, sliding, all feels breathe taking. All that, surfaces from time to time in the evidence of little quirks here and there (mostly for the AI, which cannot take more than 110% strength setting or they’ll start rolling upside down on fast corners) but still, it is one of the best experiences possible in simracing. Of course, GTR2 is now pretty old, and wasn’t really meant for these kind of classic racers. Developed by Aristotelis Vasilakos (yes, exactly the one who is, since 2011, working for Kunos and was behind Assetto Corsa’s physics), in collaboration with Niels Heusinkveld (who works on physics for Reiza, and owns the Heusinkveld Engineering company), they are one of the best available up today.
Gt legends cars mod#
Physics is one of the strongest point of this mod for me.

No laws of physics were harmed in the making of this mod A specific mod launcher and a mesmerizing in game theme layout were also made to complement the mod. Skins were also faithfully recreated for the cars to show, delivering a realistic grid for the player, which had now the chance to prove itself against racing legends like Graham Hill, Jackie Ickx and other champions of the past.
Gt legends cars update#
Extensive historical researches to update the models were at the project’s foundation. Differently from the SimBin game, however, P&G aimed to portray these classic cars for how they were back in the day.
Gt legends cars plus#
Power&Glory does in fact list almost all of the GT Legends cars, all gone through model, textures and sound revisions, plus some high quality additions from the community like the Ferrari 250 SWB or the Boss 302 Mustang. Having to work with SimBin models, choosing a SimBin platform was finally yet another reason to pick up GTR2 for the team. GTR2 is also moddable, and always had a very rich modding community backing it, which meant that potentially a plethora of tracks and skins would have been available to expand the possibilities of the P&G end user. Meaning to reproduce most of the cars from GT Legends in a more advanced environment, much more suitable for endurance racing, which was the kind of racing those classics cars were most involved into, it was almost an obvious choice. Overall, a very complete package, without a doubt still valid today, considering also the price drop of the game, which is available on Steam for purchase for a short amount of money.Īt this point, given a list of all the major features of this sim, it is easily understandable why it was chosen as platform from the GT Legends Workshop team for their mod. In addition, a very notorious driving school will take you through the basics of racing and teach you some advanced techniques to get the best out of your vehicle.

Gt legends cars driver#
It also has animated pit crews, track marshals and crowd (limited to a few models in the pits or next to the track limits), movable driver arms (with somewhat of a 270 degrees total rotation), controlling both the steering wheel and the shifter, and legs, working with the pedals. GTR2 features in-game savings, designed so that you can save your progress during any session you want, and custom championships. Rain, however, while making the track more slippery, will also wash down the surface, playing still another factor to take into account while planning your race. This means that the racing line gets progressively more rubbered as time goes on, while outside of the ideal line, marbles will accumulate and will be present, both graphically and physically, for the player to deal with. It was in fact implementing the very first iteration of the LiveTrack technology that has now come into its third iteration in Project Cars 2. In addition, GTR2 features also dynamic rubbering of the track surface, which is too a very important component for long races. It has a 24h cycle, which, coupled with dynamic weather, makes it one of the few sims featuring both things together, making it a suitable and optimal candidate for endurance racing. This classic from SimBin is still nowadays very much appreciated due to its versatility and richness of features. This standalone mod has entered the myth due to many reasons let's delve into them!įirst, the platform used, which is GTR2.

This BoSM issue is going to be about one of the most amazing and beautiful mod there is in the simracing community: Power & Glory 3.
