No lap count on Pit stop - mediaboy - 18th-Feb-22

I’ve moved my Arc Pro to ‘within’ the pit lane now that I’m using the Magic Arc app. 

I’ve got the setting on to count a lap if a car goes into the pits. 

But - the laps are not being counted. 

What could I be doing wrong?

It won't count a lap for a pass through the pits because there are no physical sensors. What the Magic app does is give you the option to add a lap after a pit stop procedure - in other words pressing and holding the brake button to bring up the refuel / tyre change icons in the software.

If you're still not getting the laps added, it's likely to be an install issue - I don't remember that ever being flagged as a bug.

And thank you for your "dim" question. I am just now dipping my toe into the digital water, having picked up a used digital setup this weekend. While working at getting lane changes right, I did wonder why my pit stops weren't being registered. I just had a quick race at lunch and yep, works as expected.

Why would we get a lap after taking a pit stop?  Seems odd to me.

Found the answer to my own question in the online manual for Magic ARC: 

Quote:Add lap on pit stop If activated, it automatically adds a lap at the end of each pit stop request. This option should be activated only for those who are using tracks in which the pit lane is parallel to the powerbase, therefore passing in the pit lane, one would not pass over the powerbase for detecting the end of the lap.
