Thanks all. I am grateful for sure. I know if we had half this stuff 30 years ago, I may never have left the house! I'm glad we have it NOW but if we had it THEN, I may never have even cared about girls! Or at least, had time for them. I know I'm obsessive...... rofl

 Seriously though. I sometimes think my own kids will take all the technology in games etc for granted whilst I myself find myself still quite fascinated. I mean, I never thought I could be so immersed in a sim (rfactor Caterham did me that!!) that I "WAS driving". Yet I see on say the console forums young kids who say they're BORED and waiting for the "next step"!!

 I see what can be done and now after next month adding a few 'tweaks' to my own and my wife's PC will be happily saving for a G-25 to get some "feel" in the pedals. If I can do this "stuff", anyone can.

 I remember all those years ago reading in Car & Driver and Road & Track about the DP935s. Being a mere kid, I didn't understand a lot, but nevertheless was enthralled by the Kremers, etc and remember the story of one quite famous team that was erm. "financed by snow"..LOL.

 I went TWENTY YEARS without EVER missing an issue of C&D including a period of homelessness and drug addiction spreading across the East coast of Canada hitch hiking, yet ALWAYS got my C&D fix. (When I married my first wife I had a HUGE box of 2 decades of the mag going back to 1978 that I refused to let go of!)  Nowadays, well, I haven't bought an issue of Car & Driver in 2 years at least and was rather sporadic the last 5 or so as they hit middle age and were more concerned about how many airbags could be stuffed in a minivan rather than automotive fun and mayhem.

 But alas, as my hair grows greyer and longer, I discovered and love CAR Magzine fron the U.K. and they DO still have that sense of fun that C&D has lost.

 Oh, did I mention MiLady calls me "Tangent Boy"? LOL.

 Seriously, GT Legends and mods like this make my day so much brighter. The sounds, the glorious pop off "suck-hiiss-boom". Oh man oh man! I can't drive it worth a SH** but I can (even with my damaged hearing) HEAR it and FEEL it!

 Today, I am relaxing and hammering the Falcon about LeMans but oh it sounds so sweet crackling and popping through the pipes on the over run, Makes me fondly remember my '73 Ranchero with 3" pipes. And I am THINKING about later THIS (935) mod and how I'm going to try it out. As I am finally getting to just drive rather than try to keep my PC working. But I will work my way up to this with short bouts of insanity doing it anyways. Hahahaha.

 Best part? I can drive it without wrecking an actual museum piece of history.

back to the 935... what a beast! loving the sounds... and also the boost meter on the dash!

 I think watching that is when my attention wanders and yet again..........I crash! AHAHAHAHAAA!!

I have the GTR2 cars for GTL installed. (They show up in the GTC-TC 76 class) To give you an idea of just HOW fast that Porsche 935 is...It easily competes with the GTR2 cars! 

At first, I couldn't drive it AT ALL. But, after much setup experimentation + practice, I was able to laps around Montherly in it offline.

It's really the BEAST that the real car must've been. And the GTR2 cars seem to be the only cars in my game that can compete with it. I love the sound of the turbo(s?) when you let off the gas!  :biggrin: At the same time, the turbocharger makes it difficult to drive on the throttle at first. There's very little feel of power until the turbo winds up, and THEN...Hold on!! 

I hated it... feels soooo numb under braking

 :yep:

Try setting a brake bias of 48:52, the thing is much better under brakes :yep:

Still looking for the right setup to make the evil beast drivable out of slow corners thou 

The 935 reminds me a lot of how the 956 drives in the Group-C mod... very fast in a straight line, scary as hell to stop, and really crap through a corner.

Realistic I would say... just because these cars were built to win Le Mans and Daytona.  Turning isn't the most important at those places.  Acceleration and Top Speed is what matters there, and the 935 and 956 have that.

I agree Diesel.
Just have a look on which races Jacky Ickx did well in 1976-1977-1978-1979:  :biggrin:

It's NOT all about straight line speed in the 935, no sir.  :nope:

Well, the gentlemen driving those 935's back then were not your average Joes.
Sure, they made it look easy... 

The cornering speed of the 935 (in GTL) is very good I think. Also, the brakes do their job properly, so I wouldn't say it's all about straight line speed. The most difficult part is of course corner exit where you have to be gentle with the throttle. But do you think it was/is any different irl with those old school (laaaaaaaaaag) turbo engines?

I'm not saying the car's physics are spot on, but I think the "impression"/idea is ok.
