Ausmoddders proudly present the next chapter in the legends of Bathurst, this time its the David v's Goliath era of 1972.
Bathurst Legends 1972 will include the famous GTHO Phase 3 Falcon, the mighty GTR XU1 Torana and the under estimated E49 Chargers doing battle with all new models, individual physics and the great liveries that are now infamous in Australian history.
Bathurst Legends 1972 will include the 1971 era cars also to really add to this great time of motorsport history.
Current Version 1.3
1.3 is a full version download. We were getting issues with mismatches and because so many files have changed since its original release we thought it better to release the whole lot again. 1.3 includes changes to make all 3 cars more consistent in their parity.
This mod is built for league racing and therefore should be treated as such. No point trying to race the 3 cars over very short distances such as 5 laps as this is not what the mod nor how the real cars raced. We recommend races no shorter then 30 minutes (45 minutes preferred) and possibly turn fuel and tyre usage up to 2x. In real life these cars ran a minimum of 90-120 minute races and endurance races of 5-7 hours long.
Parity is there if the advantages of each of the cars is used. The Falcon is fast in a straight line but uses more tyres and fuel, the Torana nimble and efficient while the Charger is consistent.
Change Log 1.3
- Reduced Fuel usage of Torana very slightly
- Increased Fuel usage of Charger Slightly
- Changed Falcon up and down shift times to same as other 2 cars
- Added 4th pit stop to all 3 cars in garage se tup
- added extra 5 litres fuel to Torana pit stop 2,3 and 4
- Added 3.5:1 Differential to Torana
Change Log 1.2
- Fixed Problem with Charger tyres overheating
- Added 3.7:1 differential to Charger
- Changed steering locks on all car equally the same
- Lowered heating on rear tyres only of Falcon to solve overheating issue and small reduction in wear
- Fixed issue with LODS
Change Log 1.1
- Fixed Charger tyres wear becoming un-drivable when 70%
- Fixed pit strategy error, no ability to select fuel stops
- fixed custom showroom error
- fixed allot of items on the Torana physics

To the mod makers - WELL DONE and thank you very much. I have no idea why I didnt install this mod earlier, it is so much fun. The sounds, the cockpit viewpoint, the handling are all great. I grew up watching Group A in the late 80's so this is a bit before my time, but I always loved seeing these cars in the Historic races and being an Aussie I can say you have rally nailed these cars and the feel of the era with the paint jobs. Seeing names like Gibson and Moffat on the side of my GTHO's is mad. My dad is going to crap his pants when I show him this mod!

Great review on insideSimRacing episode 73. Big thank you to the team for their honest opinion from the team at Ausmodders.

Here is the fix as requested by bandit for those of you using Low Opponent detail and have issues with the wheels being off centre on the Charger and disappearing wheels on the Torana. Read the enclosed text for install details. Overwrite your old files. This will not cause mismatches on servers and I have updated the main download with these files: http://ausfactor.com/download/mod/1972GenFix.rar

For some reason or another My falcon GTHO always seems to have the wrong speedo readout (compared with the heads up display). anyone else have this problem and maybe even a fix for it?

now, i love this mod and i appreciate the hard work thats gone into it....but... i've been watching old bathurst races from1960 to 2001 and these cars handled alot better than the mod... these guys threw these cars into every corner hard as and they didnt just spin when they cornered like that. Also they dont crack wheel spin that easy once over 80khp.... if theres going to be another patch i only hope that you make the cars stick abit more..... oh and i still want those superlites! lol
oh and the sounds of the cars could do with a touch up... the v8's were alot "snappier" with that low rumble.....
keep in mind im not bagging this mod as its great fun and i love it, its just a few thoughts is all..

power switch, yeah right. i followed your suggestion about the 'All cars and mods" and now everything shows up perfectly, very impressive showroom with the mechanics working on the cars.

Unfortunately Angus you seem to be the only person that gets this error. Are you sure you haven't chosen 'All cars and mods' under the mod selection?" Sometimes this can cause the error. Failing that have you checked that your power switch is on?
by Brettie on 09-Jul-10
only sour grapes are in your fruit bowl stupid, these are genuine error messages from your mod on near new clean machine. even if your comments were right about hacks and cracks and all that other shit you say, why is YOUR mod the only one i get these errors with straight from download. you really are a self-centered fool aren't you.
