NEW: Substitute Login feature
NEW: Substitute Login feature
A much-demanded feature has been added to the game: the possibility of having another user managing your driver during holidays or inability to login!
HOW IT WORKS
You can setup your Substitute in Account Settings. You will need to know your friend's USER_ID which can be found in his user profile.
Then, whenever you need to have a Substitute, activate "Allow Substitute" in Settings, and then for example if DebiK set Arskap as substitute, Arskap would be able to login to Debik's account using his own (Arskap's) password. He'd just need to use Arskap@DebiK as username for login, which would mean Arskap is logged in as Debik.
CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS
Substitute logins are not unlimited.
-Only Superlicence holders have this feature available.
-Substitute will only be able to log in to the account for 21 days after his first Substitute Login. This is also called Substitute Login Window.
-After Substitute Login Window ends, another Substitute Login is possible after 30 days. This is also called Substitute Login Cooldown.
-User can end Substitute Login Window before 21 days have passed. In such case Substitute Login Cooldown starts immediately.
-User can login to his account anytime during this Substitute Login Window.
-Some pages will not be available for Substitute. These will be Settings, Formula 1, Forum, News Article and Press Releases.
Substitute Logins will be monitored closely by gamemasters to prevent any abuses.
EXAMPLES
Example 1
User goes on holiday and sets his substitute. Substitute logs in for the first time which triggers Substitution Login Window for 21 days. After this 21 days Substitute Login Cooldown is started and Substitute Login is blocked. Next Substitute Login is possible after another 30 days which means 51 days after first login. In such case new Substitute Login Window is started.
Example 2
User goes for holiday for 30 days. He sets everything possible for his next races. Substitute logs in only after 5 days and starts the Substitute Login Window which closes after 26 days since User left for holiday. Substitute sets up everything possible for next races, leaving only 4 days until User returns from holiday.
Example 3
User goes for 10 days holiday but then after another 31 days he goes for another one. Substitute logs in to the game and starts Substitute Login Window. After 10 days User comes back, goes to settings manually, closes the Substitute Login Window which immediately starts Substitute Login Cooldown. After 30 days Cooldown is done and when user leaves for another holiday after 31 days Substitute can log in to the game again and starts new Substitute Login Window.
We hope it will be an useful feature!
