FuelBot

This bot can be used to calculate the fuel usage during a race and is compatible with any sim which allows you to read out your fuel usage.

There are two operation modes

• time limited races (e.g. GT classes)
• lap limited races (e.g. Formula classes)

The bot will not require any discord permissions.

Permissions

Make sure the user has sufficient permission to execute Application Commands (slash-commands in earlier versions). This permission can be used to restrict access to bots, but is usually enabled for @everyone by default

User Settings

If the permissions are all set, but certain users are still not able to use slash-commands, the discord application might be setup incorrectly. Tell the affected user(s) to open their user settings and navigate to the Text & images section.

In the lower part of said settings page, you can find an option to toggle the usage of slash-commands.

Make sure the user has the permission to Use Application commands. This is a recently introduced discord permission, and can control the access to bot commands. By default @everyone is allowed to use slash-commands.
