    I've been trying to modify existing AIW files using the rF1 AIW CAM editor. I used to tweaked paths this way in rF1 and then GSC/AMS. The path modifications are being applied within the editor. But when I save and then reload the modified AIW file, the old path is there. No change. Maybe I'm missing something.

    Can I not use the AIW CAM editor for rF2? Help is appreciated.

    I can't answer your question about the RF1 editor, but RF2 has a built in CAM editor in Devmode. I would recommend trying that out.

    Thanks both. I spend most of my time working in dev mode. In fact, more than actually racing. I'll use the rF2 editor to edit the AIW and CAM files. I have one track that doesn't have an AIW, so I guess I need to become familiar with it. It's just a shame I have to put the old AIW/CAM editor to rest. I found it simpler to use for small tweaks. Thanks, again.

    I also use that editor for small tweaks, in RF2. I am not sure what is the action you are trying, but i think it saves changes. However, for some reason it messes up garage spots, deleting some of them... Possibly it is slightly buggy, but still useful for me since i can search for the modified text inside and copy it into the right file.

    So I load an AIW, select a waypoint, select "S" to toggle into spline mode, edit the spline, and select "Create Curve" after each change. I can see the modified path. When I'm done, I select Save AIW file. It creates a new file with the arbitrary name. I back up the original, then rename the new one to replace the original file. The new file creates comments identifying each waypoint number in the sequence, i.e. " // 546" etc. So I know the file contents are new, but the waypoints are the same except that the points are rounded up to three decimal places, not four. Strange.
