How to time a race

[Conte_Vincero]

Hello, I'm trying to get together a kerbal racetrack challenge. However I've just hit a snag. The MET doesn't start until you leave the ground. This gives me a problem as I want to time the laps from when the light turns green (you know the small one in the bottom left). Is there a mod or something that will allow me to do that, as I don't want to force challengers to submit a youtube video

I've spent hours sorting out the track and checking out car designs, so I don't want to get thwarted by this small snag.

Require the racers to start their cars held off the ground by launch clamps?

The UT clock always counts up when you're in the flight scene so that could be used, I'm not sure if there's an easy way to watch it in game without a mod, although the tracking station vessel lifetime should work.

You can get UT visible via the debug console. Alt-F12 and a button press turn it on. Screenshot at the beginning of the lap (zero speed, wherever the starting line is) and screenshot at the end. If you want multiple laps timed, screenshot each one.

Thanks, I'll get on that
