Am I missing something, or when another racer takes over for the first, is a IS_NPL not sent along with the IS_TOC packet?

Below is a snipet of the event log output... as you can see, 6 seconds past after the RaceTrackPlayerChange (i.e. IS_TOC) packet was sent, but no further packets as I sent sorta idle in the pits after taking control.

Without the IS_NPL packet, you don't know what the user's plates, player flags, etc. are.

I suppose it's meant to be optional. I.e. if you care about the details of the new driver after a takeover, you can always request the player info again with an IS_TINY/TINT_NPL.

Yes, I suppose that's true... guess will have to do that. Thanks for the tip... should have seen it myself.

Ok, I totally misread my output, it does send down the player flags with the player flag change packet (IS_PFL). But in terms of efficiency, it'd make sense to send an IS_NPL packet immediately following the IS_TOC or just make the IS_TOC basically equivalent to an IS_NPL packet.

Otherwise you have to do, as you suggested, send a TINY_NPL which means you receive all the players info again. Not to mention it'd be nice to be able to request just one player's info, and not all of them.
