The Automobilista 2 Flag System specifically does not work in offline mode.

Dear,

I have something to report that really disappoints me. In offline mode, the simulator's flag system does not work properly. In multiplayer mode, with penalties activated I was able to observe the localized yellow, double yellow, white, checkered flags and Just the double yellow flag and penalty flag working very well. Why doesn't the same happen in offline mode? This ends up destroying the immersion and simulation for demanding players.

 

Correct. Reiza still needs to implement a new flag system hopefully sooner rather than later but they are aware of it.

 

It doesn’t just destroy immersion it’s also destroyed my DPI at Road America and a Corvette GT3 at Spa. Massively annoying when you come across a car that’s not covered by a yellow flag.
I’m not sure if it’s possible as they never managed it with PC2 I hope I’m wrong

 

Why is there no flags offline? My god, what year are we in? Such a basic thing, can't believe this doesn't work!

 

Hi!

After speding a good amount of GT4 racing in Oulton Park with some incidents and accidents, I was wondering the same things: No flags? Not a single yellow, neither with me or the AI crashing.
Blue flags kind of worked, but IA was fighting for positions anyway.

Hope it is already in the changelog, as it is a bummer and take away the immersion of AMS2.

EDIT: Once I turned ON FCY, it happened once on a big accident, but that was it.

 

Well, ain't working yet.

First hours with 1.6, I had a view that I did not have often before: Me spunned out seeing cars coming towards me. Nice, the physics are working, but I've never had a yellow flag.



Not even when AI made a pile up far in front of me.



I'm not even asking for physical flags/marshalls...... yet.

Please, take a deep look in this. It is a safety issue and immersion killer.

 

To be fair, after so many hours playing today, a saw a local yellow flag once, on the GT Classics. Was far away from me, don't know what happened.
So it does exists, but it is very ineffective on showing up;

 

Have reiza ever addressed this issue? I have FCY that happen and blues on some tracks for lapped cars. But caution yellows when cars have spun or stuck off track never indicate yellows even though it is sometimes shown on my ddu via sim hub. I would assume this means the code does have the ability to display or animate them. ACC have a very good flag system from my short time using it.

 

No and so do most other sims...

 

I think they only want SC yellows so they can show off the flashy SC panels...no local yellow flags.

 

Flag system will come when ready. Reiza is working on it. Good idea to read previous posts.

 

1: Which previous posts?
2. First i saw the yellows in online races with AI including a FCY (great, i like it), why are they dead in SP?

 

I do believe local yellows are an inherent issue with the Madness Engine as none of the Projects Cars game had them work properly. Flag waiving marshall's are coming in the future and you can see the yellow flag sectors on the mini map (though the AI don't really react to them) so I've no doubt Reiza can make them work, how good they do work however, we will have to wait and see.

 

I've always had this on and there's certainly a major lack of yellow/blue flags since v1.6 came out

 

Green Flag shows (albeit in a different place than what I moved the HUD Flags too...)

 

Sadly they cant be turned off or moved

 

I am also noticing a distinct lack of normal yellow flags, although there was a double yellow flat at some point during qualifying in my earler stream. Unfortunately in a race though I got tangled up in someone else's incident and didn't get any yellow flag warnings.

@ 1:09:10 Approaching the Senna S hidden behind Senna, he suddenly slows dramatically as Berger and Jacques Villeneuve get tangled but with no yellow flag warning and being unprepared taking my normal racing line, I don't slow in time and end up taking Senna out. I probably should have anticipated as the AI do infamously muck up the Senna S often when overtaking, but had I been warned of the yellow flag I might have taken evasive action.

 

I have the telemetry app second monitor running next to me and that is seeing when people are off track and brings a yellow up and what sector. Not sure if it pulling yellow flag data from game or it some how does it separate. Either way would be nice online and offline to have caution flags. Blind corners like at monza or the ring need the.
