RLM Beta Teams Stress-Test / Suzuka / 50 Teams

Endurance racers, it is time to put the new team endurance features in ACC to a proper stress test! Join our team stress test event with your team on Thursday, Feb. 20. We will drive in beautiful Suzuka with a grid of 50 teams.

Signup with your team here: https://www.redlinemotorsport.co.uk/championships/136

Schedule:
Thursday, Feb. 20
P – 20:00 GMT – 30 min
Q – 20:30 GMT – 15 min
R – 20:45 GMT – 60 min

Teams can have 2-6 drivers each. New random weather option will be used!


This is a test race, so finishing position is not important; please try to trick the system in every possible way! Especially, we would like you to test

• Do you get accurate Driver Stint Time shown in you HUD? Is the Driver Stint Time exactly the same for every driver in your team (while driving)? Note that for the spectating drivers, the stint timer might not be accurate (but it should be for each driver who is currently driving)
• Do you have any problem completing mandatory pitstops?
• Can you swap drivers back and forth, even when not the first driver of your team enters the server first?
• If you set TC to 0 and then pit and swap the car to another driver, does we start with TC 0 as designed?
• Can you change from Dry to Wet tyres and back to Dry? Can you adjust the PSIs in the MDF display for every tyre type? Can every driver of your team adjust PSIs?
• When you serve a DT penalty, does the Driver Stint Timer freeze and continue to run after you exited the pits? Without resetting?
• After qualifying, do you get the correct grid position for the race start? Any “randomization” in grid position going on before the race start?
• When you get any penalty, can server admins clear the penalty without problem?
• Can you swap drivers during Practice or Quali using the new text chat command “%swap X” (where X is the number of the target driver in the team list; 1 selects the first entry).

List of currently known issues/limitations:

• Stint timer is not always accurate for the spectating player
• Spectating player may focus on a different car upon join, make sure you select your entry in the timetables before pressing drive.
• If after pressing drive you're still focused on the wrong car, use Shift+ L/R arrow keys to find your car in Drive mode. Wrong focus won't happen after that.
• Standings and Timetables show the first player of the entry after joining until the active player completes a sector before updating the name to the correct one.
• Realtime widget is showing the active player's name from the moment of joining - standings widget updates after 1 sector is driven.
• If spectating clients join/rejoin in a car that is already on track, lights, wipers will only show the correct state when triggered again.
• Example: car on track has lights on when a spectating player joins, he'll only see the lights on after it is triggered again in the session.
• Spectating players currently do not see visual damage on their own car until driving. Correct visual damage is only seen properly by the driving player. Visual damage on other cars is always seen correctly.

 

One issue that still exist after a driver swap is the best lap time delta not working at all until you beat the fastest lap of your car, it remains stuck at 0.000 in gray. Pretty annoying, we should get the optimum laptime delta either working with the car optimum, or reset itself for the new driver, but 0.000 isn't of any help (especially when you are the slow driver of the team, delta never ever work for you in the whole race )

 

Some slots are still left for our Teams Driver Swaps test event this Thursday; among all participating teams we will randomly draw 3 teams that get a reserved team slot for our 12H Suzuka race on April 18.

Is this streamed anywhere?

 

This was just a test to catch a few more bugs, but a 3h race will take part in two weeks at Bathurst and that one will be streamed.

Yesterday's race is the pure essence of ACC. That was just... super COOL.
I joined with my teammate Raffaele Di Nardo and we could have tried some combinations about things that do not work as intended.
The server was set with me as the driver? Cuz Raffaele joined the server first and he was a spectator. I joined later and I had the car in hands. We tried a driver swap during the practice session and all worked as intended. Raffaele had the car.
After the server restart, we joined again and Raffaele was the driver, I was the spectator. Is that planned to "memorize" the last driver and to set it as the new driver after the server restart? May that be the reason about those two guys who were spectators after the restart?
Btw, we only had new 1 bug we interfaced with, other than those who people reported (i.e. virtual mirror):
1) If the spectator presses the ignition button when spectating, after the swap he has to press it again to start up the engine, after the race we asked ourself "Does the spectator button memorizes also light and wipers?" Need to check.

Thanks for organizing that test. We had an awesome fun evening!
