    >Single Player - Grid Position selector now takes into account multiclass and will place the player in the selected position within the same car class or same performance index classes.

    What does this mean exactly? If I have 15 GTR3's and 15 GTR4's, will I start 20th if I select that no matter what class?

    Some more info regarding this:


    The example use we made out of it is one we think most of you will enjoy, we have this little app that reads the game's shared memory and feeds the data to a webpage made to receive it.

    However this isn't the only application. If you're a streamer, you could have your chat right on top of the game while you drive, or have Twitch controls right there at your finger tips, etc.

    A dedicated thread to discuss ideas and ask questions specifically about this feature is now opened here --> https://forum.sector3studios.com/index.php?threads/in-gameplay-web-overlays.12947/

    From your example, you will start last within your own car class. So 16th if GT3 or 16th in GT4.
    Before this change, you would have ended up in 20th position overall, regardless of your class.

    @RACE ROOM V ballast weights almost made it but we had some bugs and I didn't want to push a feature you can't fully rely on in a competitive environment.

    You know we're working on it :)

    @RACE ROOM V I know that tool very well, in fact I was a league admin back then myself and I kept annoying SimBin because of "random" weather would never truly generate random values in weather.txt.

    I annoyed them so much over this that they hired me.

    @J-F Chardon

    It seems like no data is sent to simcommander, it doesn't work.

    Just tested, it's not required for normal useage.
    So I assume that's for .. developing custom stuff / perhaps debug related.

    Yes, I think it's only needed if you use a local file for example.
