    @Robert Holm Are there any reasons or scenarios for why yellow flags would not be triggered? I have tried in both visual/full flag rules servers, but I am yet to see a yellow flag occur, despite where they should be.

    I have been lazy logging the yellow flag return value to the left of the position in the standings to monitor yellow flag zones and the return value for each driver always seems to be 0.

    This happens with both the getDriverInfo and getDriversInfo functions.

    I noticed there is no longer a `r3e.on.results` function in the new API version which seems to cause qualifying results to not trigger anymore. I tested with the spectator tool with the new API and I see the same issue. Does the `r3e.on.resultsUpdate` now work/designed for qualifying results too?

    I made a workaround which doesn't make this an issue anymore. I just manually show the quali results if the quali session time left is less than 20 seconds instead of relying on a listener.

    I also spent time today reworking the manufacturer themes, and added styling for the newer widgets and UI elements.
    Some of the theme previews:

    It looks like there is enough features to release an initial version, so I can do so tomorrow or the day after as there may be new tracks/manufacturers/classes which will require some ID's to be added to make small UI elements work. Just a couple more days so. ;)

    Personally, I'd get rid of flag on session status. It pushes timer to the right and it doesn't look that good. Other than that, it's brilliant. I'd also change the way it's displayed if it's under 1min to 00:xx instead of xx, of course if it's possible.

    Hi! First of all, thank you for such a brilliant job!
    Issues found: on Suchsenring (don't know if on other tracks it's ok) map is shown incorrectly, drivers are going wrong way, so their position on track is not what it should be.

    Just watching RRVGT DTM92 live on YouTube with the new layout and it looks great!
    One small thing i noticed was that even it’s singleclass there is the „Px in Class „ left from the car image above the player name.
    Guess it’s useful for multiclass but in singleclass there is already the big position number left from the flag.

    I've never seen safety car before! Is it only for multiplayer or does it come out in single player too?

    What are the chances of something like this as an overlay for replays? I often like to watch back my races (single player) but the standard overlay is poor.

    @Rends Just joined the stream :) Yes, I see what you mean. I already have an issue in the backlog to allow someone to turn on/off multiclass elements for non multiclass races.

    @ravey1981 The safety car is just something that people run manually in one or two leagues by someone joining the server in a car/livery that looks like a safety car. Whether the broadcast mode will work in replays is up to the game really.

    The safetycar situation is something that someone decides in the race and can also click through the spectator mode, because this is not in raceroom itself?

    @NL-Jos Yes, its just someone manually joining the server in a different car. There are some UI widgets I added for the safety car indicators to show on screen and these are turned on and off manually by the broadcaster. You can see how RRVGT performed this in their stream last night. For leagues who already ran safety cars, it's just helpful for viewers to know what is happening.

    Hello, after watching a few streams running the tool over the last day or two, I noticed some areas of improvement so I have updated one or two things today in a new version. I also added some small features to the control panel for the broadcaster. This version also includes an update checker, so when a new version is published in the forum, you will see an alert when starting the tool to notify you so you that a new version is available, so you don't need to follow the thread as closely now for version updates :)

    Version 1.1.0 Changelog
    • [Feature] Increase race control alerts display time from 10 to 15 seconds.
    • [Feature] Increase trigger time to scroll race results from 10 seconds to 25 seconds.
    • [Bug Fix] Prevent the Driver Info widget overlapping the qualifying results at session end.
    • [Tooling] Render Manufacturer logos from the portal instead of locally.
    • [Feature] Updated some UI in the control panel.
    • [Feature] Added hover-over tooltips to buttons in the widget list describing the widget functionality.
    • [Feature] Added multiclass positioning and class colouring to the control panel.
    • [Feature] Added tool update checker to notify you if a new version is available in the forum.
    The original post has been updated with the download link here.

    Merry Christmas!
