Is it me

[Babylon]

So is it just me with the disqualifications, I've been done like 3 times and then have to look in some log file to find out why, And even then I can't work out the reason why, Last one was this, Whatever that means. I remember my first race and got a red box at the top of screen, But last 2 occasions got nothing and just kicked back to the pits.
<Penalty et="958.1">Reece Reed finished before serving penalty, added 25 seconds to totalET</Penalty>

<Score et="958.1">Reece Reed(9) lap=3 point=0 t=248.344 et=958.045</Score>

<Penalty et="958.1">Reece Reed served 1st Drive Thru penalty, result: penalties=0, 1st=Drive Thru,0s</Penalty>

Just getting out of hand now doing a 20 minute race around Le Mans just to be DSQ going over the line on the last lap, If it's me please say so as I was in second place in my last race.

If you have a penalty, you ONLY have 3 laps to serve it or less if you are in the last two laps of the race. 25 seconds is probably the time required for a drive thru at the track you were racing, so it was added on.

Penalty Icons Show & Tell

Below are some examples of the icons used to indicate you have a penalty to serve. This is the Drive Through Penalty 1. Upper Center of the Screen. >>> 2. DT shown next to your name 3. DT shown next to your name There will also be a text box below your Lap times on the right indicating what...

Now I'm really confused You just wrote in the other >>>thread <<< yesterday that you didn't
have the HUD turned on & now you have it turned on, but you're not getting any notifications

Is there a translation error here or do I need another large of coffee to understand this correctly @Babylon

Please don't misunderstand me, I really don't mean this in a bad way,
I'm just confused or maybe not quite awake yet.

Sorry, New to the game, When I first played I had all the HUD and saw the RED arrow box under the virtual mirror, I ignored it wondering what it was and then got DSQ, Then it dawned on me that it must have meant drive through.
So I moved on as first lesson learned, I have never liked all the HUD stuff and having it all off in ACC and since that first DSQ I've had it off.
So I do know to look for the red drive trough box, But to get DSQ 2 races in a row and not even notice the red box is a bit out there, I noticed it when I never expected it, But now I know about it I never see it, I have Simhub dashscreen that flashes Black Flag when kicked back to pits, But nothing says drive through, I'll have to have a proper dig into it at the weekend.
Frustrated me a bit as my computer was crashing all the time(Looks like power supply)and then this, And I really love the feel of this sim, Even thou I didn't want anything to be better than ACC.
So thanks, New power supply on the way and a new VRS DFP15 base should turn up this week, So the weekend should be a bit more relaxed.
