After searching for hours to find a document where all possible Parameters in an rF2 GDB file are contained and briefly explained I did start this thread. Thanks to Tosch there was a good starting point. Further Information was allready JKA.
I will further update this thread based on the information which will be available. At some point of time there will be hopefully some documentation from ISI available and this thread is no longer needed
If a parameter is not fully understood I'll add a remark and put the text in between question marks. Please be aware that this document is WiP - if you see any failures or wrong statements please feel free to comment as needed.
Basefile was the GDB file from Nordschleife as provided by Tosch. I did not change all the names to standard names - just consider "Nordschleife" as a placeholder for your track name ;-)
