Power & Glory v3.x

[DucFreak]

We know GTR2 gathers little attention at RD but we think it's worth announcing the Power&Glory v3 release. This follows a previous "presentation" with details, screens and video previews, posted in HERE.
We hope the content we've build can surprise for the positive also those that were already discarding it in favour of more recent titles.

It's been a long adventure developing Power&Glory. We started working on the first demo and version 1 back in late 2006, we continued working hard through version 2 in following years, and then on version 3 from March 2009. That's a lot of time for a free mod (even for a big project like this one is) and we had many issues that are common for many modding teams these days - lack of free time, real world issues, voodoo type of issues, lack of more team members, you name it... we faced them all.

We never gave up and what you're now able to download and savour is the result of pure passion for simracing, admiration for vintage real racing and respect for our Motorsport heroes.

A total mod of 2.30+ GB of compressed data, and over 3.9GB when installed, featuring completely redesigned User Interface, 59 .aud sound configuration files and 1153 sound samples made from scratch, 373 .car files with tons of skins and history described, 199 .hdc specific physics files, you'll find it difficult to drive to identical cars, 125 .tyr different tire files all balanced and proportioned to one another, in-game setup tire help manuals, improved collisions and multiplayer, improved force feedback and tons of incredible details on the 3D models and skins of the cars, every one of it painstakingly documented and verified from homogenization papers, era magazines, books original service manuals and help from mechanics of the era and actual drivers.

Without further ado, we are informing all past, present and potential future fans that the P&G version 3 development has come to the end! A monumental amount of work, free for you to download, drive and immerse yourself a bit in the lives of our 60s and 70s driving heroes.

Enjoy!

I do like this mod also but the FFB doesn't feel as good as its does in GTR 2. The FFB goes away completely when cornerning and pushing a car to its limits, it just goes limp.

Strange - it doesn't do that on my system. Have you used the green button on the P&G Launcher app to modify your player file? It alters the FFB settings to suit the mod.

When I clicked that button, it automatically set my wheel to a G25. I'm using a Thrustmaster TX. I think I was using generic wheel settings before which was causing the FFB feel strange. Now I'm not sure if I should be using the G25 settings or Thrustmaster RGT FFB Pro settings, they do feel slightly different. I have to disable reverse effects though for my wheel.

When I clicked that button, it automatically set my wheel to a G25. I'm using a Thrustmaster TX. I have a feeling they were trying to simulate loss of traction meaning the tires start to slide and there's no force, but the feeling is rather exaggerated and feels stupid. Not at all like GTR 2 when you lose traction.

This is why I'm puzzled.

If you don't press the green button you get standard GTR2 force feedback.

If you do press the green button the P%G settings actually reduce the effect of the steering going light on the limit compared to standard GTR2.

Sorry but I'm not sure what to suggest. If you like GTR2 forcefeedback then create a new player, set up your controller and don't press the green button. Then you will have standard GTR2 force feedback.

David, I believe deleting the profile did the trick. Maybe I clicked the green button when I installed P&G3 a few months ago and didn't know it changed anything and it must have changed my FFB settings in the player profile. Creating a new profile again and not pressing the green button feels more like GTR2.

Is there any league with P&G races?

Is there any league with P&G races?

This is perhaps the best place to find info on P&G leagues

http://www.nogripracing.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=151

There appear to be at least three currently active - WSC, CMS and West Coast Sports Car Racing (on R2P)

Thx a lot David

I'm still a huge fan of GTL so really looking forward to giving this mod a try.

Much thanks for sharing

Hope installation goes well. I'm guessing you've already visited the site but instructions can be found

We recommend using the launcher to start P&G and pressing the green button on the launcher to patch your player file and adjust the FFB to recommended settings.

Hi @David Wright, the install went well, didn't come into any problems and i'm using a fresh copy of GTR2 just for this mod.

Now all that's left is to go and get the tracks that go so well with this wonderful mod:

Oh that's sweet! Thanks @Kenny Paton

Are these tracks specifically used for online servers?

OMG! I finally have PnG loaded and working.

I am in a glorious place right now. This mod is fantastic!! I am in if someone starts a league for this mod. I'll quit my job if I have to!

A huge and immeasurable thank you to the HistorX team. What you have created is great gift to those who love vintage race cars.

Glad you like it

NoGrip is probably the best place to find out about leagues

We are the GT Legends Workshop (GTLW) Team. The HistorX team made a GTL-based mod too but for rFactor.

An update (v3.2) is due before the end of the year.

Well, that's embarrassing.

My apologies for not citing the correct group and allow me to thank the right people.

Thank you GTLW for this great mod. Thank you David for the link to NoGrip.

I'm wondering what the best/most appropriate tracks for this mod are. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated. I know VirtuaLM had some great tracks for rFactor but I am totally unfamiliar with GTR2. I'm off to have a look.

@Kenny Paton clued me into this little gem, as a lover of vintage cars I'm going to have to check this out. I have a steam copy of GTR2 but have only checked it out briefly and I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to these things (though I can install mods in AC) but hopefully I can figure out how to make it work because I'd love me some proper vintage racing. Are there any tips/tricks to getting GTR2/P&G looking and running as good as possible? I have a fairly robust system (i5 4960, GTX 970, 16gb RAM) so I would think I should be able to crank the quality and have it looking fairly good.

Brandon, I would suggest as David says above that you jump over to NoGrip, they really do carry all there is regarding P&G but any other help please feel free to ask.
