Help with xkoranate

[adriojim]

Hey, so I just discovered xkoranate but thing is I don't quite understand it. I would like to add bonus to both teams and participants. And what is with Lap record (is it in seconds?) and Variance?

Regards.

Lap record is in seconds, yes. And variance is:

"Variance" means the gap between the fastest and slowest lap times. A small variance will produce a very close race; a large variance will result in fewer cars finishing the race without being lapped.

If you need more questions, I suggest you ask Ferrarist or this thread at NationStates forums.

(By the way, do you play NationStates? )

Thanks.

No, I don't play, but I'll take a look, it sounds quite interesting.

Lap record is indeed in seconds. A 1:30 would be 90 seconds for example. The variance decides on the gaps between the laptimes. For example, if you use 15%, a car with zero skills will roughly be 15 seconds behind a car with overall skills of 10. For oval races I'd suggest a variance between 2,5-5%, for road races I'd suggest 7,5-15%.

As for the bonus: I normally turn it off, because I don't quite get the bonus system.

By the way, since this might be a sort-of xkoranate thread, may I revive the idea of drivers/season/series databases?
