GTA 5 Iron Man script mod launches awesome Version 2.0
http://www.pcgamer.com/gta-5-iron-man-script-mod-launches-awesome-version-20/
Back in 2015, Grand Theft Auto 5 modder extraordinaire JulioNIB launched the Iron Man script mod—a fairly crude but enjoyable creation that reimagined players as Tony Stark's not-so-alter automatonic ego. Weeks later, the creator had crafted some far more convincing superhero attire by way of the Mini Hulkbuster IronmanV mod.
Now, some two odd years on, JulioNIB brings us the 'GTA 5 Ironman Script Mod Version 2'.

>>Sadly, to get this mod you'll have to go to JulioNIB's Patreon page and invest $2.

YouTube’s ‘Racing At Home’ has shared a new comparison video between Project CARS and Project CARS 2. While Project CARS 2 is said to be running great on the PC, we can clearly see that there isn’t any noticeable graphical upgrade between these two titles. Okay okay, that’s an exaggeration and we are pretty sure that under the hood the game features more advanced graphical effects than its predecessor. However, the visual difference is minimal at best.
