Off-track 5 Second Penalty

I'm just a user of this app, KamyKaze

But when reading the 1st post for this Wally's App .... what you suggest for the Turn Off is already written in the 'To do' list" since the very beginning.
The Turned On is already written in the log file

 

Sorry my bad

 

Hi kunos, i want to write about two very annoying things of multiplayer sistem: the absence of a cut penalty sistem (the 5 s penalty isn't suitable in my opinion because it create dangerous situations during a race, and in few tracks a player can do a better time by cutting some corners also with this penalty [for example at Monza]), and the not possibility to complete a lap in qualification after the end of session time.

Cut penalty sistem
We only need a system that cancels lap times when a player go out of the track during qualification, and this system can use the same cut detection system of 5 s penalty.

Possibility to complete lap in qualification
I had see that in single player is possible to complete the lap after the end of qualification time, so i don't understand why in multiplayer there isn't this possibility. Please implement this also in multiplayer.

 

Offline disable penalties. No more 5 sec penalty. Online, you can make your server allow 4 tires off and there's no penalty.

Online you can set up your server to end the race at a set time after the checkered flag waves. You can make that time longer than the standard time given.

 

iracing "slow down" penalty system is the best and most realistic

 

haha, no. it requires you too slow down far too much for the tiniest mistakes (eau rouge for example). But IMO any automated penalty system has flaws in them that make it unusual. Either it doesn't do enough, or it does too much.

 

Hi everyone!

I love Assetto Corsa, I really do! The cars, the tracks, shaders, lighting, feel on the wheel, the wheight transfer of big and small cars, photo mode, career mode, online racing (well it has room to improve ), catching slides, going against the clock...

But why does that five second penalty has to be always enabled to get trophys and stuff??
I mean, a penalty must be applied when cutting the bus stop at spa... i can understand. But not everytime a car is with 4 wheels off the track means it will gain time... I honestly can't remember a single time i went off track when going out of a corner and have overtaken someone at the end of the straight...

Online gaming certainly doesn't need this penalty as well as offline racing...

Please Assetto Corsa developers remove this! Or change it in some way...
Make it proportional to the speed the car carries when going off the track limits... add seconds to the session time... warn the driver it has x number or mistakes per session... any ideas??

In online racing this can translate into a crash. Right now we have 2 options: Either "stop" the car to 50 kph, while others are flying by at 200kph, or keep slaming the Accelerator in a frustrating and nerve wrecking situation after a mistake! I think in some way it destroys the experience of AC but it defenetly upsets the driver that was pushing to reach the guy in front of him...

Please consider this!

Thanks

 

It is annoying, and may have been mentioned once or twice before (no sarcasm here your honour!!), hence why your new thread ahs been merged with this one.

 

I can hear the damage done by years of F1 permissiveness in zegrande86's opinion. The FIA regulations state that cars must stay within the track limits or a penalty can be inflicted. I have read somewhere that the British MSA rulebook even considers that one single wheel on the wrong side of a curb makes you off-track. Sure, we are used to see every two weeks Mr Sebastian Vettel (among others) with all four corners on astroturf. But that is just laxity from F1 stewards. There are corners when you are faster going off wider than track limits, for example double right or left bends. Another example is turn 1 at Hockenheim.

The 5 seconds penalty is nasty and somewhat stupid but it suits the kind of informal races that AC seems to be meant for. On servers where it is disabled, people do take shortcuts. The 5 secs penalty is a sort of compromise to treat both cheaters who are then slowed down a lot and those who go off unintentionally (in which case they are supposed to have slowed down a lot already).

 

WOW! This old ray of sunshine. This has been raised more times than Dracula. If you don't want the penalty DON'T DO THE CRIME CROSS THE LINE!
