Get it he

http://www.racingfiles.net/simleague...st_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

Is it a GTL mod or a GTR 2 mod?

Thanks

GTR2, but it uses content from GTL, hence the need for the GTL CD.

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.

Cheers
Tony

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
