John, hope you are feeling better and on the road to recovery. Hoping you have a minute to educate me on Smart Race and Pace Car usage. My question is how do use a pace car to start a race with Smart Race? Smart Race does a count-down when prompted to start a race then a horn. So how do you incorporate a pace car and smart race / cu start? I am new to Carerra, have bought a used mega set and am building my table using many of your Glendale suggestions. Once again, I appreciate your time and help. Orest.
Hey John, I took your tip and purchased Smart Race. You are right this is a great product. My problem is I am getting a false start prompt at times, not even moving the cars, the prompt still pops up. Any suggestions as to the problem? Using an old android phone, but current on all updates. Ron
I emailed Marc. and found out I was placing my cars over the light sensors close to the Start/Finish line. So now when I line the cars up to start a race I make sure they are behind the sensors not too close to the Start/Finish line. Ron
You probably dont give a shit but if you are bored like me atm then you can watch all the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my gf for the last months =)
Thanks for the video..... have you run into the issue of .... while using the weather feature when you change tires from wet back to dry it goes to 100% power and brake instead of what it was programmed to before tire change? I’ve tried submitting this issue but can’t figure out the German .... thanks
No... I of course set the speed for that in the weather settings, never a problem. Fast speed on this track is 70%, and thats more then enough to easily break the minimum lap time of 6.5 seconds... Helps keep the cars in good shape.
Hmmm..... for some reason my cars go 100% power and brake after changing tires back to dry tires after a rain has ended...... I never have my track set higher than 80% power. Not sure what’s going on.
Just to make sure, did you set the speed in the weather plugin for dry tires/track to your specified speed?? Smartrace resets THOSE values when returning to dry/treaded tires... I believe those are defaulted to 100%... Sorry, have to ask...
Hello John, did you ever figure out the pace car issue? I like your videos, when will you get back to finishing the track layout? I'd really like to see where you are going with the layout and scenery on the Glendale 65 layout! Thanks and Happy Racing!
I am still trying to determine root cause, but I think I have it isolated to running a specific car on the track (not the pace car). Might be motor noise...
I am still finishing systems, then scratch building the bridge shall be soon. I work about 14-16 hours a day at my job, so its getting hard to find the time I need, but it IS progressing.
Cars are programmed from the CU, App assignments are to tell the app how things are coded. On race days, we might have 5 or 6 cars coded to controller #3 for example. When setting up races in CR, one of those cars coded to #3 are selected, and the respective driver, if this makes sense.
iOS but I figured it out this morning I have to unplug the app and then I can code the car and assign them. Is that a bug? Do you have to unplug the app to code cars?
I have never seen that problem, but I run Android. I know IOS has some strange hiccups with SR, but I have yet to hear of this issue. I would contact Marc @ Smart Race and see if he has any insight. Is coding cars possible with the App Connect Dongle plugged in, but Smart Race not running??
Happy Easter John

I will double check those values .... Thank you!
Unrelated - Do you know of any software that will "drive" ghost cars smarter?
No I don't, but possible with Ardunio.

I’m having an issues with not being able to have assignments work.
Cars are programmed from the CU, App assignments are to tell the app how things are coded.
On race days, we might have 5 or 6 cars coded to controller #3 for example. When setting up races in CR, one of those cars coded to #3 are selected, and the respective driver, if this makes sense.
Ever since I have downloaded the app I have had issues with coding any cars. I’m so confused and upset. I need help.
