• 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!

a lot of people cheating with this on line f1 2012? its possible? i think it just for FUN single player

In 2011, it was possible to play online with it, but I think it's not for 2012. I'm not actually sure, but I think it's not possible.

Hey guys... I tried modding some settings in CTF for F1 2012... and they seem to work great offline in career... but when you try to join an online session... as soon as you get into your car you get disconnected... any ideas?
On the one hand this is great, because this should prevent cheaters to play online with hacked values... but we have a national league and would like to change certain things about handling to make the game even more sim-like and less Arcade like handling wise...
Does anyone have a work around for this issue perhaps.

So i 'upgraded my engine' but now it keeps flipping over.
Any idea how to resolve it?

This is the wrong thread but you can do it by opening the database and going to track_model. You can find the tab with the laps and reduce them for example from 58 to 12.

This way you'll have 3 laps races.

Thanks kristian but can you please explain currently my race distance is 25% and i have 13 to 14 laps races so what do i edit to get 3 laps in 25% distance?

 

[Kristian Nenov]

Thanks kristian but can you please explain currently my race distance is 25% and i have 13 to 14 laps races so what do i edit to get 3 laps in 25% distance?

Well if you set it to 45 laps you have to multiply 45 to 0,25. The result will be the laps you get from 25% races.

Thanks i got it

I've tweaked with the revs and engine settings on the Caterham car on F1 2012 using CTF and whenever I go into my career mode practice session the car has these weird black lines going into the air and the tires do not show either. As a result the game crashes and there is no sound when I am in the cockpit. Can anyone help please?

If you made backup of original CTF files then Compare the Original ones with your modified files and see what values you changed. If accidentally you change any other that may cause the problem.

 

[Oliver Keeves]

Thanks, I'm sure this will solve my problems.

Hi,

could anyone may be upload me the original "track" folder from cars/me2/ ?
I changed the Mercedes files and accidently deleted the back up. As I don't want to verifiy my whole game again as I have a lot of modified files and mods, it would be very if someone could upload the folder for me

Regards Ben

No worries.

Hey guys, I've been messing around with the ctf trying to figure out what some values do. Are there any pros in mechanics out there?

I know that float_list_u5 is actually power, but I'm not exactly sure what units to use or how to calculate the proper values. I wish I had a book on cars because I really need to know how all these gear_ratio, revs, final_drive, and torque values work together.

 

[Kartik Sri Harsha]

Then what is float_list_u_1 and remaining for??
Also Do any one had any difference if we change Stability_Control_off_Speed value
Edit: CM must be crazy Stability_Control_off_Speed is 10 and Stability_Control_on_Speed is 20 which means we won't have any Stability issues on the tracks. I think this is the reason we won't have any Difference between Mechanical Grip and Aerodynamical Grip.
Do any one know By what speed do car starts to have Aero Grip

 

[Petar Tasev]

I have no idea what the other float lists are. I know com_y and com_z are multipliers for the respective inertia values. A high y inertia will make your car tip over sideways easily. A high z value will make you car stuck to the ground more, and will make corners a lot easier to take.

Do you know anything about the power values?

 

[Kartik Sri Harsha]

Guys do any one know what are these for
1. Inerter_Front/ Rear
2. lowspeed_engine_momentum_boost
3. stability_control_max_atc
Edit: Ryder25 Trying to find out what they are for
