Power & Glory Version 3.2 Released!

[Paul Jeffrey]

The GT Legends Workshop team have released a substantial update to the legendary Power & Glory mod for GTR2.

Following a break of several years, a now considerably reduced GTLW team have been hard at work further refining and improving on this classic release, introducing a number of fixes to long standing issues and heavily improved physics to the Ford GT40 and Porsche 906 cars in game.

New users can directly install version 3.2 from scratch (assuming a vanilla install of GTR2 is installed) or updating from the previous version can be achieved via an updater.

What is your issue exactly ?
you need to buy GTR2 (and not GT legends which is no longer required since v3) then follow EXACTLY my tutorial here for PnG3 :

GTR2 - HOW TO INSTALL GTR2 and PnG3 in 2019 ?

---------------------------------------------- | HOW TO INSTALL GTR2 HQ Anniversary PATCH | ---------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT : ----------- - CLEAN GTR2 INSTALL FROM DVD or STEAM + GTR2 HQ ANNIVERSARY PATCH (2 PARTS TO DOWNLOAD NOW) WERE TESTED AND ARE FULLY WORKING ON...

www.racedepartment.com

Note that HQ MODS COLLECTION are not required but optional, and I do not recommend to install 10th Anniversary Patch because Power&Glory mod has got already a bunch of updates/patches.

 

[Smokin' Joe]

Thanks for the info Bjarne, I have got it sorted thanks

 

[bentaxel bob]

this mod is amazing

 

[Edward Gonzales]

I drove this for 24 hours maybe it's time to do it again updated..thanks!!

 

[David Ignjatovic]

I fixed the config ini madness by simply copying the config.ini file from the installed GTR2 folder to the my documents/GTR2 folder. In case you need a quick fix:
View attachment 116954

(So quickest way for the installer to fix that would be to do the same?)

I am using Win10 and had the same issue with a non-steam GTR2 (the direct download version) as well as the steam version.

Beautiful work sir.
This fixed my borked install.
Much love to the Power and Glory team for creating such a masterpiece.

 

[David Ignjatovic]

Oh...so now that p&g is working, what's up with the porsches and Ferraris from gtr2.
If I get them back, it won't trouble p&g will it?

 

[Durge Driven]

Better to run separate folders for GTR2\Anniversary and PnG

GTR is a standalone sim so do a new install do your name and all settings then save a copy for archive call it Fresh GTR2 ..whatever

Anytime you want a new install, say open wheel make a new GTR2 OW folder...whatever
and copy the saved GTR2 into folder then add your OW mods and tracks there

GTR2 stock folder for testing ( a copy of your archived GTR2 )
GTR2 HQ \ Anniversary
PnG
etc etc

I installed 1.1 and then the nocd and everything works.
Thx very much.

I decided to be a drongo and because I have GTR2 HQ already installed on drive F,to install a fresh copy of GTR2 onto my D drive and use that to install PnG3 from.

No go.

When i launch PnG3,nothing happens,same when i use the GT2 exe from within my PnG3 folder.

Smasha being silly again.

My heavily modded GTR HQ install still works phew.

PnG3 seems to be having conflicts with GTR2HQ because both folders use the GTR2 exe.

Might be as simple as a registry edit sigh.

P.S. WORKING! Used the Graphics config exe from within PnG3.

Started up after that.

 

[GTR233]

When you have both HQ Anniv. Patch (part1+2) + PnG3 installed then you must launch my MS-DOS GTR2_SETUP.CMD to set specific PnG3 options : both GTR2 HQ + PNG3 are working well together with this setup

HMM,how do i do this?
Getting corrupted file messages when trying to install from my gt2 HQ folder to the PnGv3 folder.

I can get PnGv3 working normally but I prefer the GTRHq patches and huds.

 

[GTR233]

As I wrote it in hq anniv patch install txt file, just ignore the warning corrupted files from PnG3 installer : it checks md5 checksums and compare them to original GTR2 files so, of course, the hq anniv patch files have not the same md5 checksums so PnG3 installer tells you they are corrupted...but no they are patched files with different checksums.
After install, just run GTR2_SETUP.CMD by double clicking on it like any EXE file then type a number or letter at each page to change options as you like. If you do not want to change option then type S key to skip to next page. When you have finished to set options or reach last page 43 then close window or type X key to exit. With GTR2_SETUP you can set any hq hud of your choice and set either original UI, DucFreak GTR2 Ui, or DucFreak PnG3 UI.

 

[smasha]

The GT2_SETUP.CMD and HQ mod folders do not transfer over to the PnG3 folder though.
That is where I am confused.
How can I use GT2_SETUP.CMD if the mod folders aren't there?
That's what I tried to do ,I moved the Mod folders from the HQ folder and the CMD and tried runing the CMD but when starting PnG3 got a ton of frame error files then PnG 3 crashed to the desktop.
So I install PnG3 from GTR2HQ and THEN do I install the HQ mod to the PnG3 folder afterwards?

I may just use the vanilla GT2 folder for installing PnG 3,honestly that mod is fine on it's own imo.

 

[GTR233]

NOT MOVE but just extract ALL FILES AND FOLDERS from BOTH HQ ANNIV. PATCH PART 1+2 ARCHIVES directly in your GTR2 INSTALL+PNG3 INSTALL as it is written in install.txt : DO NOT MAKE an install in default Windows program files folder for DVD, neither in default steamapps folder for Steam version, indeed you must make a new install at the root of one of your drive or by example in D:\GAMES\GTR2HQ where you install stock GTR2 files, then install stock PnG3, then extract both HQ PATCH ARCHIVES (IMPORTANT: ANSWER YES TO OVERWRITE ALL FILES AND FOLDERS) then run GTR2_SETUP.CMD

Got it mate,TY.

 

[smasha]

I got it working but tampered again trying to install gplaps links in his description on this tube.

PnG3 ctd again,sigh.

 

[smasha]

What in game hud is GP laps using ?

I just want that,no HQ as HQ crashes PnG 3.2.

I use the PnG hud thats included with the PnG 3.2 download. When you install there should be a 'hud' folder included as a zip in the main directory you can get them from.

I did remove a few of the additional elements like the driving aid indicators just by editing those files.

 

[smasha]

I reinstalled HQ for GTR2 and PnG3 and now all is working!

I have found using the Steam no cd works better and Crew Chief for both GTRHQ and PnG3,it even gets rid of shimmering textures in the WSCC 1967 mod track ,LeMans.

Finally got HQ rocking!
