Flags etc.

Actually I find it hard to criticise S2 in general and I get a little irritated by the 'we want this and we want that' brigade. But...
I would love to see the introduction of marshalling flags as blue or yellow 'flags' which could be sized and positioned as you require. Having a text message flash up is a little arcadey as is having Stop & Go and Drive through in your face all the time. As I see it, you get a S&G when you leave the pit, if you don't remember to do the S&G you're DQed; easy.
Oh yes, the flags should be 'unhideable'. I like to run with all the information off only toggling it on occasionally to check laps etc. and as it is now 'Blue flag' message is hidden unless I hit my shift+f button

That what I want for Christmas.

P.S. 6 cans of Fosters went into the production of this post :drink:

I second the separation of those messages from the rest of the HUD stuff.

I agree, good suggestions. But ...

... Fosters? If that's the best Oz beer you could get, I'd be having a quiet word to your local publican :)

[Doorman]

lol. I used to drink Swan lager but you don't seem to be able to get it here anymore. That of course is/was the REAL imported Australian beer. Fosters is brewed in England now and could be any old shite! Besides, it was on offer and it got the job done :)

[Hankstar]

Swan? *shakes head* Mate, if you think that's a good example of Oz amber you've been grossly misinformed - there's a bloody good reason you can't get it anymore :tilt:

thisname has a point - if you can't find any Coopers or Boags or Cascade (3 superb Oz breweries), there's a zillion great UK brews .. and I know Foster's 'does the job', but then so does turpentine :nod:

The trouble with English beer is.......it tastes awful! Actually Finnish beer is the best. Lapin Kulta or Karhu.

It seems you have yet to taste Austrian Beer! Murauer Bier all the way ;)

But Finnish women seem to be a little sturdier than Austrian ones, as this Foto (made at a students-pub in Turku, if I can trust my favourite ex-girlfriend) proves:

So many beers, so little time. :(

Now there's a man with STYLE! :D

This thread with get moved to 'Off topic' if we're not careful.

On the subject of Blue flags, I was on a server last night and fell foul of a front runner. I had info on luckily but was right on the entry point of a chicane. Nowhere to pull over to and BANG! Hit up the rear. :( At the end of the race I was rollocked for not leaping sideways out of the way of my Lord and Master. Hey ho.

[Hankstar]

LOL great pic.

Of course, an Aussie chick would be carrying that and a side of beef for the barbie :D

...or a knocked over kangaroo... :P

BW, what was this thread about initially? Oh yeah, flags!

I an say I agree with the OP ;)

Small addition to the topic:
I'd like to see the flags a bit more logical.
LFS should use it's laptime-prediction (from AI) to see which car is faster and if the car behind you is way faster, or a bit faster and a lap ahead LFS should show the blue flag.
Then we might be able to talk about a flag-triggered penalty-system against flag-ignoring.
Of course this isn't bullet-proof, but that's the same in real life. :)
