Start from pit lane

Hi guys
First of all thank you to all of you for this nice simulator. Great work !

Now my question:
I want to implement feature "Start from pit lane", i found that cars placed on tracks in initStartingGrid (raceinit.cpp)
so what i have done:
1 swapped calls initStartingGrid and initPits in ReInitCars
2 replace this code in initStartingGrid

startpos = ReInfo->track->length - (d1 + (i / rows) * d2 + (i % rows) * d3);
tr = a + b * ((i % rows) + 1) / (rows + 1);
curseg = ReInfo->track->seg; /* last segment */
while (startpos < curseg->lgfromstart) {
curseg = curseg->prev;
}

ts = startpos - curseg->lgfromstart;
car->_trkPos.seg = curseg;
car->_trkPos.toRight = tr;
with

//later in will be a key in xml file
if (1 == 1) {
ts = car->_pit->pos.seg->lgfromstart;

car->_trkPos.seg = car->_pit->pos.seg;
car->_trkPos.toLeft = car->_pit->pos.toLeft;
car->_trkPos.toRight = car->_pit->pos.toRight;

} else {
startpos = ReInfo->track->length - (d1 + (i / rows) * d2 + (i % rows) * d3);
tr = a + b * ((i % rows) + 1) / (rows + 1);
curseg = ReInfo->track->seg; /* last segment */
while (startpos < curseg->lgfromstart) {
curseg = curseg->prev;
}

ts = startpos - curseg->lgfromstart;
car->_trkPos.seg = curseg;
car->_trkPos.toRight = tr;
}

and after that in aalborg my car (driver simplix) start from
468.442780:472.048004:10.401583 (s->cars[i]->pub.DynGCg.pos.x : s->cars[i]->pub.DynGCg.pos.y : s->cars[i]->pub.DynGCg.pos.z)
segment.id = 9
segment.name = 10 (segment name from aalborg.xml)

but when a car goes to pit it stop at
271.957123:472.596558:3.761633
segment.id = 357
segment.name = 403 (segment name from aalborg.xml)

Its seems that i have miss something but cant understand what is it

Yes i understand that answer can be found in simplix driver code
But if someone what to help me to explain why its different (i mean the meaning of that) i will be very happy :)

Thank you

I found were i was wrong, this is a correct code:

--------------------------
//later it will be a key in xml file
if (1 == 1) {
ts = car->_pit->pos.toStart;

car->_trkPos.seg = car->_pit->pos.seg;
car->_trkPos.toLeft = car->_pit->pos.toLeft;
car->_trkPos.toRight = car->_pit->pos.toRight;
curseg = car->_pit->pos.seg;
} else {
startpos = ReInfo->track->length - (d1 + (i / rows) * d2 + (i % rows) * d3);
tr = a + b * ((i % rows) + 1) / (rows + 1);
curseg = ReInfo->track->seg; /* last segment */
while (startpos < curseg->lgfromstart) {
curseg = curseg->prev;
}

ts = startpos - curseg->lgfromstart;
car->_trkPos.seg = curseg;
car->_trkPos.toRight = tr;
}
--------------------------

and now start position is (global x: global y:global z):
318.136261:472.038452:7.029230

when car stopped in pit at (global x:global y:global z):
325.228394:473.698608:7.753133

I've often seen video of two players racing, side by side with the full pedals and racing seat etc., but there's usually two computers providing the experience as far as I know. Would be a bit of good publicity to demonstrate such a feature. Maybe in 3.0?
