    I’ve searched around and haven’t found any other posts talking about this. If there is and I couldn’t find them I apologize!
    Is it possible to do basic admin control when hosting an online lobby? Such as skipping sessions, restarting sessions, restarting the race, ect? Once a week my best friend and I race against AI in my server on AMS1. We pick a random car/track combo and go. The practice session is 20 minutes, but if we need more time I just restart the session. Once we both feel confident we skip to qualifying. If the AI punts one of us on the first lap, I will just restart the race. Those little admin controls greatly increase our enjoyment because we are just trying to have fun and take a break from the hyper competitiveenvironment of iRacing, league racing, ect. These features seemingly being absent in AMS2 is the main reason I only have 3 hours in the title and my buddy hasn’t bought it yet. Is there a specific forum for feature requests and feedback?

    This is an often requested feature and the developers have said that they will work on it.

    Well, if you run your lobby on a dedicated server, then you do have the option to advance to next session, restart the race etc

    Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to set that up? I run dedicated servers via port forwarding in AMS1 and rF2, but I wasn’t aware that was an option in AMS2.

    If you install the dedicated server on steam, i believe it is in the tools section, in the installdir you can find a manual for it
