Teleport after... fast take-over?
It was R2 of GT3 TCC. #18 was going into pits and I started joining. LFS started downloading skins, so it took a while until I joined. Eventually I joined the moment #18 finished his pit-stop, so LFS was still loading car positions (they were all in pit stalls on the mini-map) and I started pressing T to take over the car. When I took over the car, I got teleported to my/his starting position. Yes, TELEPORTED to his start position.


Race replay, watch from 57 min.

First I assumed this is caused by car you taking over lagging during the takeover, so your LFS don't know which position to use... but I was unable to reproduce it with lagging on purpose

Well my computer is quite slow (1.8 GHz, 1 core) and it takes some time (sometimes up to 4 or 5 seconds) to load everything fully(I'm talking about the final loading stage when you join the server, get all the messages and then wait for everyone to take their real positions). I think the bug appeared because I started pressing T before everything fully loaded.

E: We can try reproducing this on a nearly full server, for example cargame.nl S2. You can start the race, go to pits and do a pit-stop. I would join when you finish the pit-stop and take over without waiting for LFS to finish loading the positions. We should use TS3 so it'll be easier to communicate
Easily reproduced it when downclocked my PC to 1200 MHz

Here is the replay, so you guys don't have to download 60MB.
