Is the car model / skin mirroring the same as it was in F1 2013?

I.e., less creative freedom for those that would mod.

Yes, there is.

 

[Deleted member 161052]

Anyone thinking that the cameras.xml file will be the same as in F1 2013?
I think so, because the helmets are the same as in 2012 and 2013.

 

[Rodriggo]

There is.

Sorry, is that a yes?

Yes.

they have confirmed it. in order to get a good quality and improve the skin's quality without wasting many rooms in texture so they can put a larger logos and details. generally speaking, that's a yes.

you know what to prepare for making a HD/DHD for standard or custom skin(s). new carbon parts, new bolts, screws, metals (although you can skip some parts), etc. not only the hi-res logos.

Peace out then

Is it possible to edit the database in f1 2014 now? The EGO Database Editor doesn't work. When I try to open the database it just comes: The program failed to convert

 

[Lesley Buurlage]

edit: nvm

 

[Martin Larsen]

If I edit the teams in the database, the tier and all that, lets say I make Lotus tier 2, will that effect the car im driving or just the AI? My last f1 game on pc was 2012, so I dont remember 100% correctly but I think I read somwhere than that if I change it in the database that only effects the AI cars...

Martin, like you were, I am also getting the failed to convert message when I try to open the database with the database editor. How did you fix this issue?

Edit: And to answer your question I believe it only affects the AI cars and not the human players car.

 

[ParkYongLee]

The .ctf affect a car's performance (A.I. and player depending on the changed file) more than the database, though.

Btw. (as I don't own this game I can't test it) try to edit the database with hex-editor, worked for me last year.

Just download this: http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/schemaf12014-for-ede.94563/#post-1838826

And just unpack it and put the file in youre Ego Database Editor map

 

[Lesley Buurlage]

Is it possible to take the steering wheels files from 2013 and use them in this &/*! costly game? I mean, the interiors files of Lotus, Williams, Force India and Caterham (with the segmented leds). If it is, I "may" consider buying this botched up (lazy) version...
