iRacing Season 2 Skippy - Silverstone (International) - Mar 16

[Paul968]

But we have no clerk of the course! Competitors can bring incidents to his attention, and this is the only mechanism that is used here.

[Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer]

The problem is, as some others have mentioned, there are groups of friends on track who have raced against each other for a long time and won't raise an incident against each other.  People are more inclined to raise an incident against someone they don't know.  Thats not equality.

Of course not - and it isn't meant to be. The system is designed to educate first and punish second; where drivers have kissed and made up already they often won't raise inident reports, because firstly the driver who caused the incident has (hopefully) learned from it, and secondly they know that the system is overworked as it is.

As Paul says, we don't have a Clerk of the Course - moderating incidents is hard and thankless work and none of us are getting paid for it! The only practical alternative to the current system that I can see is some SR-type malarky, and I don't think any of us want to go there!

If we had the ability to identify points where car contact occurs (as Ross seems to suggest is possible if I correctly?) I'd be happy (as a mod) to look at each of those incidents as if it were submitted as a report.

That seems fair?

[Simon Gymer]

Pops, you would need the whole replay hosted somewhere to do that wouldn't you?

[Paul968]

We might need to ask people to save the replay so that we have several copies available, but with our field sizes we get most of the drivers on a client replay anyway. I think mine had all the major action at brands.

[popabawa]

I haven't had a problem identifying any incidents so far on the replays.

As Paul points out, we can identify the cars and laps that have car contact from the results output. It's not in the most usable format but we could give it a go.

I'll have a play at getting a system that can parse the data into a more readable format from just the SessionID.  From looking at it, it seems pretty do-able.

[Simon Gymer]

If a replay is available to all the mods that need it and the identification and submission of incidents for the mods to then look at can be automated into the existing system it can't be a bad thing.

[Simmo]

Sounds great, lets hope its do-able.

I too have no problems viewing the entire race and all cars on a replay.

[Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer]

Okay, I confess. I bought another G27 (a working one this time!) last weekend and it's definitely easier to manage my braking and make smoother, more controlled steering inputs than my "on it's last legs" G25.

Now if you could all wait a moment I'll buy shares in Logitech before you all rush out and buy one each...

[Simon Gymer]

They are £25 off this week at Overclockers, bringing them down to, well not really much less than the staggering amount they are normally selling for!

[Burtoner]

Im suprised no ones done a review on overclockers yet.

Brian intimated in another thread, that if you already owned a G25 and it was not performing as it did when it was new, then it might be worth contacting Logitech and it wasn't unknown for them to offer you a G27 at half price.

Really    Mines completely worn out ,might be worth a phone call.

Always worth a try, might save you £150.
