Hi Guys
Wanting to do some more race nights with guys that still have problems
with there brakes WITH MY CARS so set track call to stop all cars ok.
But we get tons of track calls at this stage dont want to do crash and burn
or it be just me on the track so is there some way of doing a drive though
after x amount of track calls or to add seconds or lap/s to end of race to
who it may apply any answers please .

hi
drive through after x number of button pushes all comes in the package of the penalty system wich is planned for ssdc.

Wich will be hopefully along very soon..Andy

Yes Ade - it is coming. I am just trying to get the current release out - need to overcome some performance issues first.
Then penalty system is next on the list!

 

[Ade]

hi
YES, best news since the mention of wireless throttles.

 

[Gysse]

What will be the possibilities with the penalty system ?

 

[Ade]

hi
basically similar rules to F1, so speeding in the pitlane, overtaking under yellow flag and the best one is the ability to punish constant crashers, set the program so that after three track calls by one driver and they get a drive through.

I think the number of times that a track call can be placed before a drive through occurs should be adjustable for individual drivers so as to cater for different skill levels.

Also ignore the drive through wich has to be taken within 3 laps and you get black flagged.

How on earth would you measure someone's pit lane speed!?

 

[Keeto]

Zarko, after Andy has rewritten and fixed SSDC performance issues; then completed the penalty system; done the necessary QC for it; he is going to do a minituare IR sensor set than you can put at the start and end of the pit lane a la F1 style to measure average pit lane speed.....

Andy, that is me joking BTW. Doesn't look like you going to have a very calm Winter.....

 

[Ade]

hi
dont need to measure it, set a limit in preferences but that limit can be exceeded by the throttle.

 

[zarko]

Ok... that would mean that you have to calibrate yout throttle before every race to ensure they are all equal at all times which would be a nightmare as you will always get someone saying "I had to squeeze it half way for the car just to move". Not to mention different magnet strength in each car which would mean different throttle threshold for everyone to go below certain speed.

Hey, that's not a bad idea
