Troubleshooting​

If you can't connect, it may come from a network problem, from wrong credentials or because you reached the maximum number of connections.

Network problem​

To check that your network configuration is correct:

  • Open a command prompt and type "
    • If you get a response like :Reply from 192.168.74.12: bytes=32 time=3ms TTL=64, your network configuration is correct and you should contact Alkamel to see if they activated the feed for your team.
    • Otherwise type "
      • If you get a response like :Reply from 192.168.74.12: bytes=32 time=3ms TTL=64, you have a DNS issue. Please check your setup with your IT department.
      • Otherwise, please check your network setup with your IT department.

Wrong credentials (V2 Protocol)​

Please ask Alkamel to confirm that you are using the right credentials to connect to the feed.

Number of connections​

Alkamel limit the number of connection to their feed to 1 by car.

Additional sectors

On each track, there are more timing loops that you can use to create custom sectors.

For example at Spa, there are 7 loops, FL, SCL2, IP1, PL1, IP2, PL2 and SCL1. You can create a sector from FL to SCL2 for example by adding it to the additional options of the championship configuration before connecting:

You can choose the name you want but the value should always be: Loop1;Loop2

You can only define additional sectors on a computer directly connected to Alkamel V2 Protocol (server). Client computers connected via the server mode will receive automatically the same sectors than the server.
