Arc Pro Pace Car Setup

[R2M]

Good Morning All,

I have (obviously) the Arc Pro digital set (and app) with extensive track additions.

About the only issue I seem to have is how to set up the pace car in the Arc Pro app.

I’m running the app on a Galaxy Note 20 android phone.

What I can do:

• I can get into the Pace Car mode.
• I can select myself as a racer.
• I can select the pace car and set it’s speed.
• I can ONLY race between myself and the pace car.

 

What I cannot do:

• I cannot add any more than just myself to race against the pace car.
• I cannot select what kind of race, e.g. practice, quick race, endurance, grand prix, etc. within Pace Car mode.
• I cannot add a pace car to other types of races in the app list of races.

 

So in short how does the Pace Car mode work?

How can I race with more cars than just the pace car and myself?

Can I add Pace Car to the other types of races?

OR does one have to setup the grand prix, endurance, quick race, etc. within the Pace Car mode?

Can one have more than a single pace car in a race?

 

I’ve scoured the internet for answers and can’t find any. Looked in the forum and also could not find anything. There just doesn’t seem to be any interest or info in the Arc Pro Pace Car feature.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time!

Android devices seem to have a harder time with ARC products for some reason.

Sometimes turning on location services help.

Having said that, this thread ought to help with most of the things you have encountered:

Thank you Andy, I'll try your suggestion of turning on location services to see if that helps.

Regarding the link you provided, I had already been there, and doing a "search" within FireFox for "pace car" on that page, there is nothing regarding pace cars or setup.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled, albeit, without doing a hard restart on my phone before the re-install. I may try that next.

Am I mistaken? The Pace Car is designed to be raced with 1 pace car and multiple drivers/cars, correct? I can only get just one car to be accepted into a race. Even though I select (slide the little radio button) for another driver/car, it does not come out of the dimmed mode (where the list of drivers are) to show it's accepted. Then when I go back to the "Let's Race", only the one car and the pace car show up on the screen.

So you're suggesting it's an Android thing? I had assumed that Android was the default OS for running this app. Perhaps I should give it a try on my wife's Apple phone??

Any other suggestions/ideas or other "forgotten" manuals would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Thank you!

maybe something new... I am not sure...

To my knowledge the standard ARC APP does support one pace car in all forms of racing. The enthusiast created MAGIC APP can allow all cars to be pace cars.

I have used this at events for example.

For some reason Android devices do not always work as well as Apple... so, yes... try your wife's Apple device and see if it is different.

My gut tells me there is a pairing problem. See the "rule of three" comments in the Arc Pro Missing Manual .
