Just out of curiosity, and for my personal understanding: technically the CDF is just a BC multiplier, correct ?

No, it is a bit more complex than that because it works with CDMs or BCs. It is a Drag Multiplier in simple terms. In the engine it is slightly more complex.

Thanks!

So it's basically a Cd value multiplier (the same for the whole custom Cd/Mach curve).
