Using same pitbox in race/qualify

[UnknownMaster21]

I have a idea: In LFS you can choose any of those pitboxes to pit and repairing/refuelling a car...

But what about if:

...if every racer has a "solid" pitbox, so you can´t anymore choosing it...

And if beginners need help or don´t remember what number of pitbox it was, I think it can be shown : /w pitnum = show your number of pitbox to pit

what opinion? I think this is more realistic for racing



HINT: If still can´t get about what number it was, pressing 4 shows your racingline but also your pitbox as a red. would be a bit easier

that would be a bit complecated! just think a bout that: we have 31000 members when i remember correctly, it would be a big mess if 1000 ppl would have teh same pit :shrug:
so if we would have a solid pit it must be changed every start!

Properly done pitting certainly is an improvement I look forward to seeing, in the future :tilt: it may be possible to do something like this atm as well, but will require coding. I remember Filur being able to detect the pit exit line and who crossed it ( = penalty). It could be possible to allocate a pit box for each player with something like this, and pop a system message or an rcm_ply with the pit box number up when someone enters the pit area.

Would be far easier if it was in-built with a clear way of identifying your own pit box :nod:

Obviously not how it would work. For leagues pit boxes would be assigned per team or driver number, and pickup races by playerid.

The first time I tried to pit in LFS, I didn't know what to do with myself. I drove through several times because no one told me which box was mine!

All other race sims I've been in have given me a specific pit box to use usually based one the order in which the players joined the server.

I think it would be fairly easy to include a feature like this, but time consuming. I would think the hardest part of it would be how to clearly and realistically mark the pit boxes for each player. NR03 did GREAT with this! rFactor seems to have a rather rudimentary system in place that make me glad my pedals won't work in it...
