Refueling a car that has run out of fuel.

Hi Guy,

Is it possible to include the ability to reinstate a car that has 'run out' of fuel. We find that sometimes, even with fuel remaining, a car can pit and then immediately run out. Obviously the driver concerned deems this to be very unfair! We would like to be able to override PC-lapcounter and refuel the car even if the status is 'empty'.

Can this be done?

Many thanks,
Jude

Can you give me more detail how you did it , did the pit stop was long enough to make a complete refuel or maybe the driver make a very fast pit stop and add not enough fuel to make 1 lap , or maybe there is a case that i did not integrate in Pc Lap Counter...that's why i ask you to give more detail

probably not the same problem, but I have found it a slight problem when you miss the pits and run out of fuel as that car is out of the race.

Its not a fault of Pclapcounter, more a problem with SSD and getting the LCs working as you want but sometimes it happens and it would be good to be able to re-instate a car, even if we can give them a time penalty (as if they have to be towed back to pits!!)

Ok i add the possibility to bring back a car that has run out fuel with the "update" window.
I do it today but this new possibility will be available in next version (4.39) because i have to finish other developement.

Done in version 4.39

What about the possibillity that a car that is out of fuel stop count laps, so that it´s penalty to drive without fuel.

during driving without fuel pclapcounter goes in minus fuel, so you need longer for refueling, and when you refuel, you got only 75% of refueling rate.

so it´s easier to use for beginners, which have problem to race and to look to the fuel.
