Another idea which probably isn't probable.

Would be good if you could "pre-commit" to a server using the app.  So say that you'd be keen to race on such and such a server and then you go off and tend to your bonsai tree, and then if enough people pre-commit it sends an alert and you can all jump on.  The pre-commit's could expire every 30 minutes or something?  Maybe only being able to Pre-commit to one server at a time?

Dunno.  Maybe it would be too difficult as you would need a database keeping all the information of who has and hasn't committed to what, and then have this info uploaded to the app.
This is exactly what Booking should have been!

Interesting idea. I'll keep it on mind.

Do you want a bonsai tree app as well?

Yes please.  With ninja-bonsai skills attached.

OAN, is it possible to have the information that might be available in the app, available in a web browser as well?

I can certainly do that, but don't want to steal Wally's thunder  ;)

If you can set the user agent for your http connection Joe, then go for it. If you can do that, I'll PM you some details.

Thanks Wally. I had a look at the calls before and you just need to set the user-agent to 'Assetto Corsa Launcher' right?

It's sort of usable already. I gotta make it scale better for different devices yet. You want to be a beta tester, Monsieur Threepwood?

I need waaaaay more hours in a day. Or retire. Or never sleep.

I can test it on a note 4 which is fairly high res at 2560x1440 so we can see how it scales on that.

Once I figure out how to get an APK file to you, you can try it.

See what you can do with this. Install process is as yet untested!

So while definitely not hungover in work today, and definitely not during work hours, I knocked up a web based server browser:

http://ac.yeahyou.com:3001/

On desktop it looked better with the servers in a table, but tables don't scale down to mobile. The mobile view is okay, but it could probably be better.

The search box searches server name, country, track or cars. It only works on a single word at the moment, i'll look at doing multi-word searches that search over different fields, so I could type in mugello caterham for example and see all servers with that track car combo.

Oh look, Dave and Gratulin are online :)

Excellent work so far genitalmen, what is obvious is, if possible, to filter out the locked servers, to be able to sort by number of players, and if you can use multiple searches - so say i want to search for all servers in Australia and the United States that are running the Robbin.

Looking good Joe. I report on the people actually online, not the clients reported, as that can be the number of booked clients only, not who's actually online.

Guybrush, yes the idea is to add filters like exclude locked servers etc, add favourites etc.
