Drone-drone collision detection

Is there a way to get information about drone-drone collision. simGetCollisionInfo() seems to work only in case of collision with environment.

I can’t claim we’ve measured it but my intuition says writing to an open file will be faster than querying for updates over rpc. I would expect it to be less CPU intensive too, since rpc requires packing messages. I wouldn’t expect latency to be too essential either way when it comes to detecting disqualifications or checking off gates. But that is just my speculation.

It’s a little nontrivial to do this (by design, since racing is not part of core AirSim), but I’ll see if I can make it work. Then people can use their preference.

Is there any progress being made on the “which drone is disqualified” API function, please? This is very important, because drone-drone collision often does not behave as expected.
