    That's not possible at the moment, making the lobby server controlled is the way to achieve that.

    Good afternoon, the "WAIT_FOR_RACE_READY_INPUT" function works only if you configure it in server.cfg and do not make any changes to the "webapi". If you make any changes to the server via "webapi", either in the current session or in the next session, the "WAIT_FOR_RACE_READY_INPUT" function will not work again. You need to create this in the "webapi" to solve the problem. Thank you

    I have a dummies question: why do dedicated servers that are not currently in use fail to list the car/series? Right now you have to try to join one to find out what car it is, which seems somewhat absurd. Can this be fixed?

    But is there a way to prevent the AI bug atm? If I create a session via the webapi, the server loads an AI car as well, no matter what, I tested it with both lua addons turned off and on.

    did you set both?
    MaxPlayerSize = MaxGridSize in server.cfg
    "FILL_SESSION_WITH_AI" = 0 in Flags

    Hello,
    i hope you find the time :)
    i'm Admin of the malzbierbude.de, we have atm up to 7 pC2 Server, but we have only an Linux based Server, it would be great to have a AMS2 Dedi!
    THX for this great work!

    regards
    Alex

    So it seems that we can't have a session that has two races, with the second grid being based on finishing positions in the first race. Is that right?

    What happens if I set up a rotation with the second session being identical to the first, but with no practice or qualifying session? How is the grid worked out then?

    But that's my point, if I change something on the webapi, it overrides the MaxPlayerSize = MaxGridSize setting.

    How can you get the results out of a dedi server?

    Situation: I have multiple computers at home. One is my AMS2 dedicate server and another is my sim racing rig.

    Problem:
    When I launch my East US Server to host any races, my main sim racing rig tells me it will shutdown my hosting server...? Perhaps a security conflict from Steam? How can I host and use AMS2 on 2 different computers at home?

    start the exe direct, not from within steam or a steam launch icon

    Thanks for your help Wolfgang, but I'm not starting it. I only click on the DedicatedServerCmd.exe and it automatically starts the Steam Client and logs in under my account (probably the source of the problem). If I shutdown Steam in the tray, then the servers shuts down as well.

    I initially downloaded the server from steam, is there a different download link that doesn't require steam that I'm not aware of?

    I really want to create a East US server to help AMS2 adoption. The majority or servers are in Latin American or Europe at the moment with a bad ping.

    Did you test to logout in Steam Client before.
    I know from Linux DS that it can run under anonymous. Maybe this works.

    But I also thought, that I started the exe without Steam Client, but I am not 100% sure.
