    Hi,

    I don't think it was on the table on the last Dev Stream.
    Is there something to come about Flag system ? (Yellow, Blue, etc )

    Tks

    It has to happen.....having no flags screwed a brilliant race tonight...backmarkers (with all due respect) totally getting in the way and blocking thinking they were racing with us...iRacing's relative works well. ;)

    Totally agree. At least the blue flag should be easy enough to implement. I sure as hell could use one occasionally. I got in the way of someone last night (don't think it was you @machwebb, but I may be wrong). Admittedly it was totally my fault because I tried to move away when I should have stayed in the racing line and slightly slow down, but if I had a warning before hand I could have thought about it instead of hurriedly trying to get out of the way.

    Don't fall into the "easy to implement" argument mistake.

    If I recall correctly the brake markers were a pain to remove, as example.

    Also, none of us know how stuff is coded in/into R3E and usually new features means adapting existing ones. It is not always an easy thing to do. Same with bugs, some can be corrected in 5m or less (typos) others can take months.

    @tiagosousagarcia yeah I don't blame the backmarkers at all, though the person at the very back should have a clue.

    I've never been able to get lights flashing binded, that may help.

    Yes, agreed. I meant easy enough as opposed to implement yellow, red or black flags, not easy enough to be implemented in 5 minutes and be available on the next update.
