Release: alpha 1.28.1.0

Posts: 217
Special alpha build

This alpha build is to test a fix for a persistent bug with live positions and lap counts during a race start. Due to a bug in the iRacing data, the live positions of drivers got messed up around the start of a race. In this build we are testing a work-around for this problem which should keep the live positions and lap counts correct during race starts.

If you wish to help us test this, please test extensively if the live positions and lap counts remain correct during the opening laps of a race. You can use the Timing Screen (positions shown are live positions) or your own themes with data ordering or bindings using "liveposition".

Intended behavior:
  • Cars should be on lap 0 during gridding or pace lap.
  • Cars should remain on lap 0 after the green flag and before they cross the starting line.
  • Cars should move to lap 1 only after crossing the starting line (and not before).
  • Order of cars (liveposition) should remain correct throughout pace laps and starts and after.


Test:
Please check specifically for cars out of order in these scenarios:
  • Pace lap for a rolling start (before and immediately after the green flag)
  • Standing starts (before and immediately after the start)
  • Cars crossing the start/finish line either right after the start ("lap 0 to lap 1") or later laps.

Please also consider testing on tracks with separate start and finish lines (typically road courses) and tracks with a common start/finish line (typically ovals).

Finally, please keep an eye on the lap counts as well.

Thanks for testing!
