v10.3.1
- added official StarForce-free files released by SimBin 10 years ago (thanks to Vanaja) : back in 2010 we could get this version if we sent a picture of the GTL DVD with serial number. Only few files in \GTL\ were updated, it is not the full game, you still need to buy it either disc version or digital Steam version : by the way it is Steam Summer Sales at the moment with -50% discount so make you a favor and buy it alone or get the full SimBin Bundle for cheap price because it is total bargain
- this 2010 GTL.EXE is NOCD by default and I have applied the 4GB patch
- updated splash screen
- updated e-[GTL HQ MOD v10_3] : synced tyres slip curves with GTR2 HQ 2020 tyres, reworked track lighting for darker shadows
Description :
-------------
Developped on Dell Inspiron 531 Athlon64x2 5600+ (dual core 2.8GHz) with nvidia 9800GT 512Mo (8800/9800GT were the high end nvidia card when GTL was released so I do not recommend this mod with poor Intel integrated graphics but it will work great with last AMD APU 3200G-Vega8 and above as tested by my friend DurgeDriven).

ONLINE INFORMATION :
--------------------
GT Legends is more than 10 years old now and SimBin lobby online server is definitely closed : this means that your only chance to play GT Legends online nowadays is to join a GTL league such as altbierbude.de or simracing.org.uk by example.
Moreover, this GT Legends 10th Anniversary PATCH will overwrite stock files so you may experience online mismatch with your favorite GTL league server. In order to by-pass this issue you can try to :
- edit your PLR file in GTL\UserData\USERNAME.PLR with notepad, go to line 492 at "Report Mismatches=" and set it to "0"
- restore stock game files from [OPTIONS]\e-[STOCK GAME BACKUP]
- ask your league manager to add GT Legends 10th Anniversary PATCH files to the server

RECOMMENDED PLR SETTINGS :
--------------------------
go to \GT Legends\UserData\YOURNAME to make a backup of YOURNAME.plr then open it with notepad and replace these lines :
AI Driver Strength Boost="0" // For the hardcore only - strength value added to in-game difficulty levels to make AI faster
AI Power Calibration="4" // Adjustments with AI strength (0=none, or add the following: 1=power, 2=gearing, 4=fuel)
AI Additional Fuel Mult="1.00" // Additional fuel multiplier for AIs because of their driving style
AI Brake Power Usage="0.96" // Fraction of theoretical brake power that AI attempt to use
AI Brake Grip Usage="0.96" // Fraction of theoretical brake grip that AI attempt to use
AI Corner Grip Usage="0.93" // you can set value between 0.90 for slow AI and 0.96 for fast AI. THIS IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE SETTING TO ADJUST AI SPEED TO YOUR OWN DRIVING SKILLS (confirmed by Shovas and Andrew C. Clegg)
AI Max Load="42000.00000" // Maximum total load to set up theoretical performance tables
AI Min Radius="8.00000" // Minimum radius turn to set up theoretical performance tables
AI to AI Collision Rate="32" // Detection rate per second (1-40) for AI-to-AI collisions (40 is FPS killer with heavy mods/tracks)
Player Car Equal="0"
Vehicle Specific AI Setups="0" // This last one is VERY IMPORTANT when you use PHYSICS MODS because SVM files are no more compatible with stock settings !!!
CTD TRACE FILE
--------------
this GT Legends 10th Anniversary Patch, and GT Legends HQ MODS COLLECTION as well, will never cause CTD but one day you might install other mods which will.

HOW TO CREATE CUSTOM CHAMPIONSHIPS IN GTL : (ONLY AVAILABLE IN OPTIONAL HQ MOD NOW!!!)
-------------------------------------------
By default I set fia-gtc76 cars for CUP_CustomChampionshipTemplate.GDB but you just need notepad (notepad++ is better to modify many files at the same time) to make your own championship :
- to begin with you must create a specific tag, could be any word you want, in my example it is SIM_CUSTOM1 : choose some cars (20-28) to make a grid and open all the *.CAR files in notepad++, click Search>Replace...
Find what: classes="
Replace with: classes="SIM_CUSTOM1,
click REPLACE ALL IN ALL OPENED DOCUMENTS, then click SAVE ALL and CLOSE ALL
- now you can use your new tag SIM_CUSTOM1 : go to GTL\GameData directory, open CUP_CustomChampionshipTemplate.GDBÂ with notepad++, use replace tool again with replace
Find what: SIM_GTC76
Replace with: SIM_CUSTOM1
click REPLACE ALL, then you can modify/edit the championship name, the laps number and the tracks schedule... save file and enjoy your custom championshipÂ
- you can change the name of GDB file and add as many championships GDB but you will need to make some changes in GTL\GameData\CUPSTAGES.GDB : when you open CUPSTAGES.GDB go to line 100 (notepad++ show you line number) and edit/add your new championships GDB names in the list of CUSTOM CHAMPIONSHIPS STAGE just below CUP_CustomChampionshipTemplate.gdb.
In Game, with GTL 10TH Anniversary UI you can use the 6th extra CUP STAGE I have added called CUSTOM CHAMPIONSHIPS, then you can access to the championships you have added previously in CUPSTAGES.GDB.
By default, you can only see 6 championships on the page so you will need to use your mouse wheel (thanks to Mushy for this easter egg) to navigate and display more than 6 championships.
