Title: to know when someone is in the Pits
Post by: LIAM-36-AUS on July 25, 2012, 12:51:50 AM
Like when someone disconnects, the little sign up the top of the screen can also say when someone goes of track when someone presses "go to pits" for example,   it will probably say "LIAM-36-AUS has gone to pits" or something like that.     what do u think? ???

I don't think that is a good idea, for example you are driving a qualifying for which you want complete concentration. And you keep getting the message ''laraarsa has gone to the pits'' etc. For me atleast I get distracted when such message shows up, and thus I drive a slower lap. Just my opinion though.  :)

We have to stick to reality.  When you drive, you know who goes to pit when you see it.  Same rule must be applied in sim.

u dont really know when someone is not driving anymore?   the only way is to stop on the track to see if they will come or too go to the pits and see if they have the P next to there name

Then the good approach is to be able to see who is testing on which track. 
I often want to drive and like driving on different tracks like Lonato, Mariembourg, Genk, Kerpen ...   
If it was possible to know how many drivers are connected on the tracks, it would be easier to select if you want to drive alone or with others.

This should be an available information when selecting a track to drive on.

The only suggestion i can think of is maybe when pressing escape to bring up the on track menu, a list of the racers could be shown.
But honestly, i enjoy the realistic side of the sim where i have to look around when coming out of pits or when i am looking for someone in general.
