How to Assign Stewards in multiplayer race.

Recommended Posts

Hi
I know i am asking a silly question. But i am new to the game and learning stuffs day by day. Can anyone tell how to assign stewards to the multiplayer game. Because when i see in league races they are joining as racers and retiring from the race and looking after the race as stewards ( I am not sure about that too but i understood like that ) . Is this a way to assign stewards or there any settings in lobby. 
Thanks in advance to take your time and for the reply.

You can choose to retire after the race start but your car will cause 90% a Safety Car in, if not some crash. If streaming you will not be able to stream the race start as a with spectator view.
You can choose to leave the race immediately after the qualifying session and rejoin the race room (as a spectator) during the warm-up lap. No SC problems, able to stream the race start but.... can happen you will remain out of the room... it's your risk.
You can not retire from race during the warm-up lap (you can but your car will appear in the starting grid, not as a spectator), only leaving the lobby.

If safety car is left on then almost 100% of the time retiring at the start causes a SC but any league worth its salt will have the SC turned off because it's broke still!!

Can't they allow a slot or two for watching only? 

Remember when they announced the new online championship, we gave them some idea's to improve it and some things we thought were very important (ability to edit starting grids, apply penalties etc),and said they couldn't make those changes at that point and that they they would look for suggestions to improve once the game was released and we had a chance to use it.

I wonder do they remember.

As the Chief Steward for PRL, I have drivers submit video evidence of violations after the race, then action is taken if warranted.

@vj1429 - I cannot add any more to this, but the title of this thread gave me a great idea. Why not allow players to join as stewards, and they can control the penalties etc. that the game gives out. I have set up a poll to see what people think - http://forums.codemasters.com/discussion/48046/f1-2017-players-as-stewards#

i have been in direct contact with codemasters about allowing specific slots for spectacting only, there response was to leave the session and rejoin regarding broadcast views,  i never actually got an answer off them about specific specatator slots or the the safety car issues created by doing there suggested leave and rejoin, nor did i get a direct answer about the problems of hosts not being able to rejoin if they are disconnected, so thepoll although maybe a good idea i doubt it will get anywhere, safety car is broken and as someone else mention, any league worth half its salt will not have safety car on. 

here is a link to a couple of previous threads

Spectator slots is not something we intend to add for this game. I know it's something that leagues especially would like to have so it's certainly on our radar.

There is no need really to add spectator slots (increasing number of players online)... if you let drivers to retire during the warm-up lap (not leaving and re-joining the session... risky move)

Thanks for reply Guys. We don't need a spectator slot. But we need a separate slot for stewards.

So it wont be added to this game, but golly-gosh if we are all good girls and boys and promise to come back next year or the year after and pony up our 50-60 quid, it may or may not be added to a future game as its on the radar?
