    Is it planned to implement a light system like where you can switch your lights on/off or flash while holding the button? I'd like to see that in the future. :)

    Would surely be nice. I never was a friend of flashing the lights to make somebody move out of the way but I always found it to be a good way to have a simple "communication". For example in multiclass racing it was my way to tell the guys in the faster cars that I will move out of the way in the next corner and they can safely make a pass now. Reduces the amount of misunderstandings.

    I also liked to use the lights for a short "thank you" when another driver has a good situational awareness and did not bump into my side when I passed him. ;)

    Thinking about it now I used the rear lights a lot more than the headlights. :D

    Flashing light is already available. Before using it, a button must be adressed in the Settings. After that, moving in a session you have to press that button and hold it for a while. Than it starts to flash...

    But yeah, an on or off-Setting would be nice.

    I would like an option to flash the rear lights to let the guy behind know he can pass without doing something crazy. Now I do that by quickly turning off and on the ignition. :p

    Which sounds funny but would actually be more effective then flashing the rears. When I am on an outlap and the guy behind is on a fast one you could use the signals to let the guy know you'll stay left or right.

    You sometimes see that in the BTCC.

    Haaaannn
    You need to long press ?
    That's why I never saw my headlights flashing.

    For myself I like to use it on quali when I'm in my fast lap and there's someone in in/out lap (slowly)
