    Why is there no flag system? Did AMS1 have it? A little warning that 2 AI are in the middle of the track around a blind corner would be nice. I have all options on for it.

    AMS 2 has working flags here, but depending on which view you use, the flags may not show up, same as the leaderboard menu and lap info.

    Seriously. I use cockpit, all hud on full. The green flag icon is there, checkered is there. Never once seen a yellow.

    Flag currently only work when the player does something stupid, like crashing or losing grip. Only flag working are white, black, yellow and checkered at the moment (player only)

    However, There's no yellow, full yellow, black and safety car when the AI does stupid.

    Once again, it's Early Access. The full release may be close but it isn't here yet, so there are still plenty of things missing right now.

    Where? Which car? Which track? Can you please record a video. In my 200 hours of Beta Testing I never get yellows, full yellows when I do stupid. I only get blue flag when the code bugs with a car next to me. I get green when I go onto track again, etc.

    I've seen local yellow flags, but it was many EA releases back. I don't recall the track/car combination but I haven't seen them again for many releases. I assumed they were removed.

    As Madonion said i see the same flags as him including yellow and double yellow. They are indicated in the top right of my screen i believe but the only reason i have noticed them is when Crew chief mentions a flag and i have noticed a symbol . If crew chief hadnt said anything i may well have missed them

    I've only seen green, white, blue, and checked though the last lap white flag appears at the finish line of the race quickly followed by checkered, using a digital flag via simhub, never seen yellow what so ever in SP, hope this will all get sorted..

    Nowadays trackside marshals actually waving flags are becoming standard in racing sims, so I hope we get that too in the future.

    SP has yellows and double-yellow, but only double-yellow gets indicated as flag message. The normal yellows seem just to be visible on the track map for me so far and Crew Chief was also informing me about yellows already.
    100% agree!

    Old thread but has the system evolved ?
    I get the full course yellow albeit I haven’t seen one in a very long time , I have never seen a yellow flag and had a race ending collision with a stricken ai at Bathurst.
    Blue flags are definitely non existent.
    Is there any work being done that will include this either by a flashing light board or animated marshal or any plans for the future.

    The way some people are oblivious on the track I would say a flashing big light board seems the way... A penalty for ignoring blue flags would be perfect ..... I'd love to see penalties for speeding under yellow too.. maybe one day

    I posted earlier on the update thread about another race ending crash caused by a stricken ai car sideways across the track , Must of been maybe 6-7 seconds ahead of me
    When it crashed. No yellows again , Such an important feature that seriously needs attention.

    Yeah, proper yellow flags in AMS2 are akin to the search of Sasquatch. I saw one once in Imola with the F-classicG2 on a beta update, got my hopes up it was due to an update but it was the Madness Engine playing mad tricks with me, haven't experienced another one since. Double yellows, white and blue flags appear when they should, its just those pesky yellow ones that are too shy.
