Strange falstart [not a bug]
Hi
Strange thing happened to me today. I did a falstart because of someone hitting me in my back. The best way to explain it is to watch the mpr.
Now, watch it from my pov from inside the car and you will see someone hitting me Dunno if it is a bug coz if you watch the car at my back it doesn't seem to hit me at all ;]
Anyway I'm not good at describing things :P just see the mpr and tell me what you think about it.

Wow I think you're on to something there. For those who didn't watch the replay, the guy behind him false-started and was sent to spectate. However, something pushed jaspero, so he false-started too, but it wasn't his own doing. I don't understand how this can happen, the other guy's car was sent to spectate yet after it disappeared it kept going into jaspero's car and pushed him. Hmmm... I think this is a bug in the program, maybe this false-start system was not tested thoroughly enough. Unfortunately I don't think ppl here can offer any solution to it, you probably have to ask Scawen about it.

Lag?
The exact same situation happened today. I forgot to save the replay thou. It's getting dodgy.
The problem is the guy who rammed you. It's not a bug.

It's a bit like saying "I was driving round a corner and some guy hit me and I went off the track - it must be a bug".

It's just something about racing. There is some cooperation and manners involved in motor racing - it's not like playing a FPS where there are no rules.

I made them spectate when they go too far - that stops determined idiots taking out the whole field at the start line. But I can't make it so sensitive that someone can't bump the guy in front of him. Because it's quite unrealistic to make them spectate - that is only done in extreme circumstances, when someone really jumps a red light by a long way and just decides to carry on going.
