I've stuck a chip in the back of my neck to be ready, Wally.

Is it an app that holds people at the start until a specified time for each driver?

Bird's right. I'm facing North in that picture.

A red light for each cut and/or impact?

Nope. I'm sitting stationary at the start line.

A 'post start' start so we can engage gear and maybe jump? :-\

So where's that guy who was issuing bans for "mumbo jumbo" offences... ;D ;D

I thought of the gear selection but he's still in neutral..... :-\

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. Yes, a post-start start. You ignore the AC start lights and sit there on the line in gear. A few seconds later, the new start lights come on, in the top right corner of the screen (middle screen for triples), one red coming on at a time, as usual. It holds 5 reds for a few seconds, and when they go off, you can go. If you go before the reds go out, the lights will go yellow to signify that you've done a jump start, and you'll get a 20 second post-race time penalty. It's built into the PLP app.

How many times has Kunos tried to sign you up to his dev team Wally?
He's missing out if he hasn't. 8)

You can then "hold" specific drivers for longer??

That's a level up from having a secondary start counter.

Btw Wally, how do you sync these to each other and the server?

In theory, you could hold certain drivers for longer as a handicap, but I haven't coded anything like that yet. But it could be added.

Everybody's lap time only starts counting up as soon as the AC lights go out, which must be at the same time for everyone, as they all start together. So the server must be sending a "lights out" message to each client at the same instant. That's when I start my own light timer going.

Nice one Wally.  Can you make it so the red lights go out at a random time between a range?

Yep, the reds go out after 1 to 3 seconds.

Hmmm... you're making me start to think about overlaying a kind of animated rain gif over the whole screen :)

There was something similar done for rFactor that was quite effective. Not being a coder I have no idea if it's do-able nor how difficult. Or maybe it was built into a specific track, can't quite remember now.
