@Hoobiechoobie Hi

When the formation lap is active, my system receive no packet 7.
if during 'immersive / manual' someone is DSQ (missing the grid position) for him, the packet 7 is receive.

Only 1 person (generally a spectator) is the one who enter the specific IP + Port to send the udp packet to my server.

all racers must just have "your telemetry to public" and share online ID to on

We will take another look at this one. Does this issue resolve itself once the start lights go out for the race, or does this issue persist for the whole race if the player does not get disqualified from the formation lap?

Hi. Not sure if it was already raised here but I ask anyway.

I asked Sir David Greco about AI car setup, pointing out that all AI drivers seem to use same setup suggested to gamers, at least based on UDP telemetry.

However, he said that AI cars have different front/rear wings and ride heights.

I am using @IkoRein's telemetry tool and raw data shows all AI drivers' setups have same values as one of pre-defined car setups (usually the setup suggested to gamers for that track). And I assume it shows whatever game offers in telemetry packets.

So is it possible to see in UDP telemetry the actual car setups AI drivers have in each session and quali/race?

    +1, same with PXG Telemetry UDP 2021

    @P4st3l1ak It has been said by the devs that AI uses different damage system than the player.
    This has gotten me to think that maybe the AI cars are also not actually DRIVING in the same environment as the player, but they are merely "simulated" in the same environment with some programming "magic". So knowing the AI setup would not help the human players, as the AI is not really driving, just moving around the track with the preset parameters, which might depend e.g. on the track wetness. That the setups don't change between wet/dry races would point towards this.

    Hopefully the devs can provide more info on how the AI physics etc. works and and if AIs are actually using different setups.

    Cheers.

    @Hoobiechoobie I ask you about this some days ago.

    Can you let us know what the dev team thinks about the warnings matter?

    Simhub couldn't read the Events packet. I know this is not EA/Codemasters problem, but also know Simhub is one of the most used tools to read telemetry, the one that GSI wheels or Cube Controls wheels use in their most recent wheels, for instance. You can find hundreds of dashboards on RaceDepartment made with Simhub.

    F1 games do not have a White/Black flag, but before the last change, we can use the m_warnings to count how many times a driver exceed track limits gaining time

    Please revert the change and return this possibility to us.

    Because also, I don't see what use it has to count all the incidents that a driver has. Can anyone find what utility it has?

    Thank you

    Hi @navarreitor,

    As this change was a result of a fix to incorrect functionality, it is not desirable for us to revert this. We are discussing options of introducing a new field that explicitly identifies corner cut warnings for a future revision of the UDP system. 

    Thanks,

    Hoo.

    OK, but it's kind of disappointing. Surely there is an explanation, but if you have given it, I have not understood it.


    I don't know what this change has fixed, or what use that data has for anyone right now.


    Thanks for your answer

    Please can you check "driverStatus" during the classification?
     
    In my racer, every time I finish an "Outlap" a "FlyingLap" starts
     
    However, in the rest of the participants, it seems that once they have completed their first qualifying lap,  after an "Out Lap" starts "In Lap"

    Thx
