Modernizing GTR2 with the Crew Chief GTR2 Enhancements Plugin

Modern GTR2

I've added the @The Iron Wolf's Crew Chief GTR2 Enhancements Plugin to my list of Modern GTR2 tweaks.

You can see quite an extensive feature list below.

I have things in my Modern GTR2 tweaks like Skip Intro Videos, NVIDIA Profile Settings for AA/etc., High Resolution Mirrors, 4GB Patch, Force Feedback Settings, and now I've added the GTR2 Enhancements Plugin with download and install instructions and a features list.

Crew Chief GTR2 Enhancements Plugin

• Requires Steam GTR2 or HQ Anniversary Patch compatibility options

Currently, here's what Crew Chief and the plugin bring to the table:

I especially like the flicker fixes, various crash fixes, borderless windowed mode, automatic use-all-cores, changeable weather patch fix, and high refresh rate physics and high refresh rate ffb enhancements
