Yea that'd work well.

If we got the system where a bike has to be ridden back to track from where it landed as suggested in GPB, i'd be happy. Instant re-spawns would not be realistic all the time, but with some crashes IRL (low speed ones) riders can get going again within 1-2 seconds, other riders coming or not. There are rules governing how a rider must safely re-enter a track that apply to all racing, sim or not. If a racer crashes IRL and has not left the track, the responsibility of avoidance lies with all others, not the crashed rider. So entering the track with others on it and avoiding a rider that's crashed are part of the experience.

Ignoring injury and bike damage. Generally, not always I know, a riders crash recovery time (time from dirt to seat) depends largely on how fast they we're traveling. It takes time to find which way is up again, find your bike and possibly start it. To kind of simulate this couldn't we have the rider reset delay based on speed at which the rider parted company from the bike? Like this -

Crash Speed ---- Reset Delay
<10mph               3 secs
<20mph               5 secs
<30mph               8 secs
<40mph               10 secs
>40mph               15 secs

Total guess work for times but you get the idea.

I think some have, not sure deliberately, blocked certain game info. For instance there's an american server that works fine but does not show in the web site browser list.

You only need the one license fella, and welcome 

Just set a time on the 250xf at Holjes on the "www.mxb-central.com 2 Mod" server, so it ain't the track. Maybe try on there for yourselves.

I'll do a test later see if it's working or not, no new entries since the 13th by the records but maybe there's just not been a pure server running Holjes since then. IDK if a server running stock and modded bikes will register time for just the stock bikes? You would think so.

if you miss one, your lap will not be counted.

Wrong, you take a penalty defined in the track editing step.

Sounds good Niko, things can be adjusted so if a rider misses a checkpoint during a race they will not have that lap discounted? Do you know what the other  penalties are?

In SX they seem to issue penalties if someone gains an advantage when they leave track, whatever the reason.

Like Max said it works great for hotlapping but getting laps removed in a race is not at all desirable. As suggested ideally we just flag the bad laps and deal with offenders post race. Even with no flagging possible I'd rather run with no lap removal and just watch all riders for cutting in replays, so like in real SX we could judge if someone gained an advantage or not.

So maybe two versions of each track then for a quick fix? Hotlap tracks and Racing tracks, the later having no checkpoints.

You're gonna be crazy with all tracks I'll released. Cheaters call me "alcatraz" on mxs after opening my tracks in the editor and seeing timing gates (checkpoints) everywhere.

bring the Alcatraz tracks please

Looking very good. I got lost watching, hope we'll get lots of indication about which way to turn lol 

...perhaps nobody wants to answer me  hahahaha

So it wasn't just me.  I'm also wondering why my laptimes show up for Forest, Practice and Enduro, but not Holjes. It's a .fr server and the only one I've seen running SM. Any ideas why?

Maybe the server just needs a reset, seen servers stop registering times before. Running stock bikes?

Also worth noting that when sitting on the gate during the 2 min start time, as long as the 15 second board has not shown riders can go back to pits without penalty. Handy to know if gates are picked in the wrong order or you forgot to load your setup

nice, thanks man 

Works the same as GPB Adalgood. What custom tracks are you trying and are you saying you can't see the added tracks in the track list when testing?

Looks exellent
