    Hello,
    I need some help for some settings which I dont know what they realy do.

    -Race Finish Duration | maybe how long all stay in the lobby after the race?
    -Flag Rules | Where can I read about the flag rules in RaceRoom and what they do?
    -Stay in Practice Session If Empty | What does this do?
    -Starting Grid from Leaderbaords | Same
    -Live Update | Same

    Is there a wicki or something where I can read more about the server and the settings?
    Thank you in regards.

    https://raceroom.miraheze.org this is the only raceroom wiki i know of but dont think it covers your questions. Ive never set up a server myself but i hope i can still correctly answer some of them :D
    - race finish duration: once the winner crosses the finish line the other drivers only have a certain amount of time to cross the line before the server will just end the race and show the results. Race finish duration should control how long that countdown is, something like 2 minutes might be common.
    - flag rules: the types of flags are actually listed in the wiki here https://raceroom.miraheze.org/wiki/Flags. Regarding server settings id just go with "visual only". Setting them to full will for example result in getting a drive through for overtaking under yellow etc
    - stay in practice session if empty: if this is enabled the server will only progress to qualy/race if there is at least one driver on the server, otherwise itll just stay in practice
    - starting grid from leaderboards: if you choose to use this option the starting grid will be based on the leaderboard for the given car/track combo, dont know in which order drivers who havent set a lap time on the leaderboard will start tho
    - live update: no idea

    This is from one of the changelogs:

    Dedicated Server - Added a LiveUpdate feature. The setting takes a value in second and defines how often the dedicated server will update ..\Documents\My Games\SimBin\RaceRoom Dedicated\UserData\Log_Dedicated\Results\Live.txt with everything happening in real time on the server. Information is provided in json format.
