Codemasters TeamCodemasters TeamHi All - if there are any changes to the UDP data system that you would like to see implemented in the future, please add them in here and I'll collate this for the dev team to review. This can include things that you have mentioned previously that hasn't been addressed. Thanks, Hoo.
More info on the settings would be great. e.g. Equal cars
It would also be nice in career to know what each part level is.
Rules level e.g. strict / corner cutting
Details on upcoming sessions. e.g. in Practice, following sessions are one shot / full qualifying, sprint length and race length.
m_currentLapNum in qualifying to not be the count of laps in the stint, but total lap count in the whole session.
Some way of being able to link lobby drivers, with the drivers once in the session. The index regularly seems to change when in the lobby and doesn't link up to the driver once in the session.

We've had a look into this and there are a few layers of complexity in determining part levels from career mode, including the different department levels, specific performance effects for each part, the quality of each of the car components and the lifespan of key components. What info were you hoping to identify here?
Good question!
The issue at the moment collecting data, is that it's only really any good if it's equal cars for comparison.
Knowing the power of car x is 10% lower than car y when the lap times are the same, shows it was actually a better lap by driver x with "inferior" machinery.
This means trying to predict possible lap times will always be out in career mode if it's compared to historic equal car data.
I suppose it depends how the game engine is affected by the different parts, thus, after collecting enough data, you might be able to tell that upgrading the wing could knock off x seconds.
Or be able to normalise lap times.
As it is in career, you don't know if the car has got better, or if the driver has in later seasons. You're not really comparing eggs with eggs. :-)
I generally stay away from career for those reasons and it appears I'm weird and love playing with collected data. Haha!
Hi friends,
Does anybody know if and when a session's UID gets reused? More specifically, I'm seeing the following behavior:
In some cases, Session B has the same sessionUID (packet header) as Session A. I'd like to understand in which cases this happens.
Thanks in advance for any input!
