thanks

well, in case you would like to know, how would look the car at new sim gfx, like Assetto Corsa. here is a few screenshots.

for the AC test Ive borrowed the wheels from Howston HG4 converted by Bazza into AC as Lola T70 Mk.3B, more about here...

Yeah, the cars look "better" in newer games like AC but I find those newer games often lacking what I would call a "soul" and reminds me too much of console games. GPL definitely had a soul and I also think GTR2 has it, at least to some extent but with a big potential.

yeah, fully agree. I also think thats the point why the GTL/GTR2 still is is "playable".

maybe the good feel of the race could give to us the Automobilista (AMS), which is basically rFactor1 in a new suit with a (very) tweaked physical features. the AMS cars, including the ported ones, are all even undrivible to me with a keyboard controller - which is a default settings for me as 3d stuff maker.

hi,
I didnt noticed any bigger public interest into this mod, so Ive just packed the latest wip version for the guy who asked me to create it and didnt bothered with it anymore. deep-strike planned to create some usable physics and sounds for the cars, but many other things got priority always...

Today we start a " Le Mans Cup Series (Late 60s)" over at https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=14717.0
using your wonderful cars at Daytona.

Some of the guys are still struggling concerning suitable setups for this track.
Are there setups available online somewhere?

great, thank you for playing / driving our cars

well, some suitable setups for current tracks could be available at / among Altbierbude members, maybe. there are the LE MANS CLASSICS  mod challenges, from time to time.

ok, some small news:

A new build 1.0.1 of the Le Mans Cassics mod for GT Legends and also for GTR 2 is available now at our homepage.

Release mod version / build: 1.0.1 main changelog
* All cars - reworked team / skin file name logic
* All cars - GenString legenda description typo fixed
* Ford Mk.IV - missing virtual cockpit shifter fixed
* Ford Mk.IV - missing CameraTarget definition fixed
* Porsche 907 and 908 all variants - missing polygons at cpit hood fixed
* Porsche 917 LH - mirrored skin decals fixed

BorekS,

Thank you so much for continuing to improve this mod. It just gets better and better.

well, the GTR 2 / Power&Glory Le Mans Classics (LMC) mod small tweaks and fixes made there deserves to be available for our GTL recesim players too, I suppose ... even if they arent life important

however, the new GTL LMC build 1.0.1 needs to remove the previous mod version from the game first, at least the old vehicle folder content at this path: GameData\Teams\LM_CLASSICS

btw, the LMC for Power&Glory public release should come in a few next days.

Thank You BorekS, beautiful classics!!!

Dear friend BorekS, always a very good job!
Thanks for increasing our pleasure with the beloved GTL with your cars. Now, anxiously waiting or the Alpine A220 Short Tail and the Lola T70 MK3-B. Cheers!

Thank you, BorekS

ok, I think I could say the GTR 2 and also the Power & Glory (PnG) LMC is released now, for more check our home site http://simgarage.nolimit.cz/

ok, guys, I would have here one additional team skin car slot for the released LMC mod v 1.0.1 (all sim game versions), but I am not entirely sure how to take it - the "issue" is all the currently public available LMC vehicle content are historical racing event skins, but the new Porsche 917L skin is a 1969 autosalon showcar.

therefore it might be selectable / choosable only at the GTR2 and P&G LMC race class "Porsche 917L", not in any historical race track / race year class, ae the rest of cars are...

the team could be "John Wyer", "Gulf Salon" or so. the driver name is simply "John Doe"... what you think about this?

Top Job!

+1

Selectable should be ok...........

ok, the "Gulf Salon" Porsche 917 Langheck is released public. ready for download at our notoriously known simgarage home page

Thank You BorekS !!!

Is there a template available for the Porsche 907 LH? I would like to add the Brands Hatch 6 Hours entered car to my 1967 WSC season (unless you are planning on releasing it yourself?). Thanks.

I would be happy to see new, user made LMC skins, especially the Porsches all good addepts, but no templates are prepared for release yet. Its because all textures I am doing in Inkscape, a vector image editor, where the bitmap output is a PNG file output. To prepare any regular skin template therefore needs to export each Inkscape vehicle skin layer (shadows, panel lines, main color...) as standalone image and build up from them a multilayered Paint.NET / PhotoShop file. That takes some time.

I like a lot this mod, and was wondering if you are considering to port it to rF1?

Yes, Ive already started to convert the mod into rF1, the goal is once this will be done, to port it into Automobilista, where I can apply the Reizas new shaders... just like it happen with F1 LEGENDS RACING mod.
