    Dedicated Server, problem is ::::::::: when leaving pits, the fuel load and setup change to default.

    we dont have any pitstop setups loaded, and i have tried it both ways.
    ----------------------------------------

    When running dedicated server on seperate computer server.

    If our players or myself login to our server from another computer online:::, and we load a setup, then reenter pit garage, then leave pit garage, the setup and fuel load are reset to a default fuel load and default setup, then they have to go back into pit garage and manually load there setup again, then when they leave the pit garage the new setup is on the car, but if they jump back into garage and then leave garage, the setup defaults back to low fuel and default setup again. So everytime they enter the garage they have to load there setup, to have it on the car. If they just go to the garage and dont load there setup again, when the leave garage they dont have their correct setup on. So this also happens when Server rolls over to race, it is not possible for everyone to go back into the garage and load there setup again (the race is started, they cant go to the garage), and i have noticed i will start race, and look at my fuel load and its not my correct fuel load for the race, which was all in my setup correctly in qualifying.

    This is only happening when we are on our dedicated server, everything else works perfect on the server, except this setup issue (incorrect fuel load and defaulting setups),

    This makes hosting races impossible, as as its a guessing game if your setup and fuel will be correct when race starts.

    How can I set the date for my races?

    I tried a lot of stuff in server.cfg but the server always defaults to strange unwanted track/date combinations like 01/08/2020 for Le Mans 2005

    try setting this in the server.cfg:



    // Starting date and time.
    "PracticeDateHour" : 8,
    "QualifyDateHour" : 9,
    "RaceDateYear" : 2018,
    "RaceDateMonth" : 3,
    "RaceDateDay" : 31,
    "RaceDateHour" : 10,

    keep in mind that qually will be 1 day before what you set as the racedate, practice is 2 days before the set racedate

    We have encountered yet another problem, though we tried nearly various combinations of FORCE_MANUAL and PIT_STOP_LIMITER etc but did not find how the player can drive manually from the pit. There is always automatic contro until l pit lane exit. Is there anything to change that?

    I can't check right now, but i believe you have to use the "flags" to set that up, but it's been a while since i manually setup a server, for the past years i've used JustRace.net to set up our league events, which makes life a lot easier.

    I had tried that. The value to add to the Flags is 256 (FORCE_MANUAL) but it never worked.

    Better try with:

    "ManualPitStops" : 2,

    0 value is Auto
    2 value is manual

    Don't know why not 1, but it works for me.

    ok, that's weird, as 1 is working for me, @Christian Wendt i can suggest to first try setting it to 1, if that doesn't work, try setting it to 2

    Are there any other settings for AI for the dedicated servers? I am looking for AI mistakes, aggression, etc - some of the settings single race has available. All I see is Opponent Difficulty. Thank you.

    Not that I'm aware of. I've only seen Opponent Difficulty as an option on the DS.

    Dear colleagues, :) we have been running dedicated servers on our OVH server for four years now, and it works very well.

    However, some drivers have pointed out that sometimes their hotlap time isn't recorded; it doesn't appear in the sms_stats_config file, even though I can see the driver's activity in the live log when I connect to the server. This problem has been occurring since December and affects all our dedicated servers, regardless of the car/track combination.
    The information "Saving persistent data for addon 'sms_stats' into 'lua_config\sms_stats_data.json'" is present, but I have the impression that the data is not being saved.o_O
