CTDP F1 2006

Version 1.1

Physics

• Tyres, more compounds available for some tracks, some minor revisions to heating.Tyres are very similar, but have slightly more differences per compound.
• New Slip-curve resolution for all cars, the main purpose was to improve the traction control system. However, the new slip curves enhance the driving experience as well to an extent.
• The new traction control works much more accurately, reducing its effect in high speed corners, and as a result new traction control settings in upgrades menu are available to match.
• Some of the upgrades for some teams had small mistakes: eg Redbull rearwing range
• All engine RPM's now match with what is said in the upgrades page.
• Engine boost mapping has been reversed (B1 is max RPM, boost 6 is race RPM, B9 conservation), this makes the garage display more accurate, the shift lights more accurate.
• Minor improvement (in terms of realism) to engine life for some vehicles.
• Fixed a bug to provide more power loss when slip-streaming another vehicle.
• The HUD shift light now automatically changes per track, although it can still be overridden by choosing an upgrade.
• Toyota, slightly tweaked suspension geometry.
• Suspension geometries are moved to possibly work better with LeoFFB, while not being compromised in any way.
• Not quite physics related, but new Leo FFB settings are provided which provide better force feedback.
• Setup notes contain suggested RPM for all cars now, you should have default setup loaded for this to work.
• Adjusted tyre wear and grip wear slightly. This should make 1 stops slightly more attractive. First lap peformance was marginally reduced. Furthermore, driving style now has greater influences tyre wear. i.e. locking a wheel or driving erractically will cause slightly faster wear than before.
• Tweaked optimum tyre pressure, on average you will need 3-4kpa more than with V1.0, the loss from choosing incorrect pressures is slightly lessened as well.
• Now forcing minimum tyre pressures for Monza to a more realistic level.
• Fixed: Super Aguri has more realistic suspensions, which now change in geometry at Hockenheim and then again a new front geometry from Turkey onwards. Previously, while Aguri suspension changed @ hockenheim this suspension was incorrectly a single keel layout. It now features a dual mini-keel type from Turkey onwards with a new rear geometry introduced 2 races prior to that (hockenheim).
• Safety car revised physics, should be more realistic and fun overall.
• Brake cooling at maximum duct settings has been slightly increased, while the penalty for overheating is slightly increased as well.
• Some default setup tweaks for some cars/track configurations.

• Engine is now Cosworth CA2006 Series 6 instead of the Series 2 engine, thus providing about 15bhp more.
• Traction control overrides now work in the league physics.
• HUD Shift light changes now work with league physics.
• While default setup is loaded, league physics have a unique identifier in the setup notes.

Graphics

• Added: Missing DVD-Cover
• Fixed: Williams: Crash in DirectX 8 caused by texture bugs
• Fixed: Renault: Mild Seven logo of right winglet reversed
• Fixed: Ferrari: Front Wing Logos and new Case-Logo on the nose, which was missing on the north-american liveries
• Fixed: Ferrari: Japanese rearwing texture, wrong color of lower plane
• Fixed: Super Aguri: Minor texture errors
• Fixed: Midland/Spyker: no Neutral-decals on the texture
• Fixed: McLaren: Cockpit Fin was missing

Miscellanous

• Added: Manual translations in Italian, German and French
• Fixed: Crash after starting replay (bad MP3 encoding of music files)
• Fixed: Crash of ControlCenter on startup
• Fixed: Pit garage slots placement, the team order on some tracks was wrong
• Fixed: Installer overwriting realfeelplugin.ini, if you already have a realfeel-configuration, this will be kept.
• Updated: Extended credits list
• Improved: Sound-pack by Michael Ode (new samples, high-samples improved, opponents quieter incar, external sounds slightly less agressive)
