Title: Jump Start Server Setting.
Post by: Grooveski on August 11, 2017, 11:30:04 AM
Could a server option be added that switched off the jump starts/black flags/stop&go system?
..for when it's not that serious an event and we're just having a bit of fun.


Could call it Late 80's Style  ;D  - Between the end of push starts and start of the transponder era the grids used to creep forward a good foot or so before the lights went out.

+1 on that Groove!  ;)

I agree that there is no real need for it in a bike event and at the moment the problems with it in GPB are greater than the benefits..... So what if you get a tyre width advantage from the start, does it really matter?! Lol! So yeah, that idea of yours Groove is a good one mate!  ;)

I remember in the 70's and 80's the riders lining up abreast and jostling getting ready for a push start..... race directors didn't seem to mind so long as it wasn't an obvious early start you made. In fact in my day(late 60's/70's and 80's) I can't ever remember a bike GP being restarted or a rider disqualified/penalised for a jump start as such, but maybe they are more serious these days? ;D

That's a point! Let's have a push start option for some time in the future too! That would be FUN for the "Classic" and "Legend" races!  ;D

There is already a virtual brake that hold the bike if you are in neutral. This virtual brake could be used to force the bike to stay still until the red lights turn off
