A little clarification on Real Penalty v.4.01.04 with most important info
Added 2021-10-27 21:37:27 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
public information to let anyone know what the new Real Penalty offers.
Obviously i'is just a server update, the client app remains unchanged!
Driver swap
You can use this feature with any track that has the finish line between the start and the end of the pit lane and if there is enough space to stop the car in the pit lane after completing the lap (most of the tracks).
No other changes are needed!
Let me know if you have tracks without this requirement (at the moment they are not supported). I will try to find a solution.
Real Penalty transfers penalties and cut warnings to the new driver after rejoin!
The blue flags work well after the swap too (the orignal of AC are not ok).
Mandatory long stops (with or without new driver) are also possible.
Take a look to this video to understand the right procedure for the swap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nePEtz38ifs
Teleport to pit not allowed
If a driver uses teleport can not rejoin the current session. He is locked on pit or is kicked leaving the pit lane.
If he rejoins the server he remains disqualified and can not continue the current session.
Only for endurance race with driver swap/long stops
The teleport is not allowed (if set) and the driver can just leave the server after that! After rejoin (same driver or new one) the team can continue the race (no penalty for wrong use of "esc/return to pit" instead of "esc/exit" leaving the server).
After irregular teleport from the track and rejoin, the swap countdown starts when the new driver is on the pit instead of entering the pit lane. In this way this kind of teleport is however disadvantageous for the team.
A teleport from the pit lane after the finish line involves no change to the swap procedure and no penalty.
If you have any question please write a comment.
