Hello rFactor community,
we having since a couple races an issue with sudden DNF in online race sessions. We do a reconlap into the starting grid. Server is set to laps as race length and the first lap is our formationlap for a rolling start. But when the polesetter passes the 1st sector time, sudden DNF in the rest of the field of a few drivers (2-4) happen at the exact same moment. Last race we switched back to warmup after agaon 4 DNF, but again...1st sector timing and the same drivers got DNF. We checked also the starting position of the DNF drivers. But there are only 2 matches in 11 cases...so this seems to be random.
We use as track base the great Vitual_LM LeMans 1991-96 version already in a 24h event last year. We hadn't this bug in 2013. Caused by using the rejoin plugin, we modified the start/finish line to another position further afar from the pit exit. As we than realised our DNF issue, we switched back to the old timing line position. The next race on 2 different servers were without the DNF's. But now it came on the last two races back. The AIW file is still the same like our last years version, except a change on one special pitgroup for TV cars.
The only difference in settings is the use of race laps instead of race time. We had last year an issue, that drivers got the checkered flag 1 lap too soon. I asked about this bug here in the forum and the answer was...switch to race laps. Which we have done now. But we have at the moment not really an idea what is causing the sudden DNF.
Has maybe someone exeperience this bug or can give us a hint where to look at it?
Thanks for your help! Best regards,
Sebastian
