Codemastersin foorumia selaillessa löytyi SCstä ja punaisesta lipusta toisen käden tietoa, mutta uskon tämän paikkansa pitävyyteen ainakin suurinpiirtein.
Got back from gamescom yesterday, chatted to Steve on Friday about the safety car, video should be up some time next week or week after. But here's a quick recap of details on SC, red flags and restarts:
Red flags
- Can only happen with crashes, not with rain
- Will happen when a car has broken down on the racing line, when the SC wouldn't be able to drive a normal lap. Therefor more likely to happen in Monaco than in Turkey.
- There is no tinkering with tires or car set-ups under red flags
Safety car
- Adheres to most of the official rules, available in SP/MP, can be turned on or off
- SC will let cars pass if it doesn't pick up the leader. Will be indicated by green lights on SC, engineer and maybe an extra visual clue.
- When safety car goes in, race leader gets to dictate the pace when lights go out and overtaking is allowed once the leader passes SC line
- To avoid grieving players that drop behind get ghosted until they rejoin the train behind the SC in their original position, so no DTP for slowing. Initial idea was to put the player at the back of the train, but they opted for a different solution.
That's as much as I can remember from it, there will probably be a bit more details in the video, but I don't have the footage at home.
