Here is what I have in my mind at the moment.
- This has been raised by others, but having access to the weekend tyre selection would be great. Maybe even provide info, 1) which tyre (e.g. a index) is in use at the moment and 2) e.g. in the session data the tyres available. There could maybe be a "Session start packet", which is sent (preferable multiple times) at the start of each session to send out the detail of the session
- A "definitive end packet". Now we get the event.SEND, but still after that we get multiple FinalClassifications + race history packets. Would be great, if after these there would still be sent a set of "This was it" packets, so we know 1) that we have received all expected history packets + the FinalClassifications. Now with bad network connection, you might be waiting for the packet for driver 16, but it never comes, so you cannot know if it was never sent or if it was not even meant to be sent. With the "definitive end packet", we know we have now received all data for this session.
The tyre info is done, but might need some feedback in terms of functionality. We have also made some changes to the final classification packet to avoid changes to it. There is still a case where you can receive a second final classification packet when returning to the lobby, but this should be a copy of the first one and can be discarded if you already have the data.
