GPL Chequered flag goes out too early!!

Yesterday morning in an online race at Zandvort I was almost (but not quite - by a couple of hundred meters) lapped by George Sandman. As he came round to take the chequered flag the flagman stood out and waved it at me when I still had a lap to go. Most confusing. A GPL bug? Alan http://www.chandler.u-net.com

It's apparently a bug. I've seen it happen several times. The flagman comes out slightly in advance of the winner's arrival at the line. Anyone just in front of the winner who crosses the line after the flagman makes his appearance is scored as having completed the race, with one less lap than they should have been allowed to complete. My guess is that that little flaw will be fixed in 1.1. Jack Rambo

Your race was over, you fiished 1lap down. Tadej

But he didn't - he said he was *almost* overtaken. The race doesn't start to end until the leader passes the flag. -- AG Remove removes to remove anti-spam measures. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alan Gauton + Tel +44 141-548-2686 EEE Department, SPD, + Fax +44 141-552-2487 204 George St., Glasgow G1 1XW+ http://www.spd.eee.strath.ac.uk/users/ag ------------------------------------------------------------------------
