After a lot of hard work from Miek and I...

Features:

Intuitive GUI -- The graphics user interface has been built to allow maximum ease of use when editing files.
Easy Compare -- Aside from the files' data being lined up side by side, with the click of a button the program will show you all the differences between the files.
Community Involvement -- Schema files for each game are in xml format so that modders can edit descriptions of their findings for the file's values and share them with each other.
Open With -- Allows you to choose "Open With" and select this program to open CTF files.

Let me know if there are any problems. I encourage you to do the "community involvement" thing that way we can all figure out what certain values mean!

If you didn't change too many things it may be easy to find what you changed by opening both the original and modded file and then pressing the show/hide differences button.

Yep doing the same now will report if i found any new thing

Now I looked more carefully through the files. It seems F1 2012 Mod is now possible.

sethisuwan · Jun 8, 2012

yay! Thank you, Thank you for this mod!

You guys are AWESOME!

sethisuwan · Jun 8, 2012

wow, awesome. ENGINE_DRIVETRAIN_CLASS, choose from Front, Rear, Four. you can now make you F1 car a 4WD! codemasters must have had this value so they could configure EGO values for their other games like Dirt, etc.

PS* Haven't tried this value yet, but DRIVETRAIN does mean Front, Rear or Four Wheel Drive.

Findings update: The values change if you drive a car in career mode. If you open an OEM (brand new installed) version of CTF file, and compare it with a version that you have driven, there are certain changed values.

I was able to reach a max speed of 392 km/h, the top speed was limited by gears.

I made just the following changes.

@Kristian Nenov
Can you tell me which Effects make the Realistic Acceleration like in 2012 and Decreasing the Slipstream effect

Petar Tasev · Jun 8, 2012

Very nice sethisuwan! Good findings. Are you saying that maybe some of the setups you do in game are saved in the files?

btw, you should raise the rear a bit, it seems its painting designs on the ground right now

Increasing the effect of the air and for the slipstream, there's a value for it. I'm gonna make it into the mod, so don't worry. That's the easiest thing.

You mean Air Density Multiple??

It looks like I'll have to make a guide for this one too, when I start working with it and find what everything does. Just experiment. I haven't tried anything yet. I just looked through the files.

Kartik Sri Harsha · Jun 9, 2012

By making Front_diff_full_effect_rate and rear_diff_full_effect_rate to -2 the lap times of RBR in softs are Near to 1:24 low and 1:23 high in Melbourne

Just a tip:
In the schema xml file put in a description param for the entries that you've found any info so far. Then in the editor when you select that entry the description will show up at the bottom. See car_drivetrain_class for example

You've written this in the readme

Kristian Nenov · Jun 9, 2012

I just made it for around 1 hour.

Kartik Sri Harsha · Jun 9, 2012

Can we make them another Sec slower like in real world where Lewis P1 is 1:24 high i think

zlep · Jun 9, 2012

This is getting really interesting right now. Will also have a look into it.

Kristian Nenov · Jun 9, 2012

I did a little more touches, downed the time a few tenths more and I made a few laps of a race. It feels awesome! Nothing compared to the 'reduce grip' method!
