Increase white flag frequency to make up for lack of yellows?

    Hello,
    I can confirm that in SP the only flags that are showing are green and blue flags. I have everything turned on in rules&penalties and flags and i reset the hud.

    To test this i set AI Mistakes x5 and did a 1 hour race with multiple crashes and incidents and no yellow flag or white flag was shown during the race.

    Yellow flags do trigger in single player, but the flag prompt almost never appears on the HUD, you can always see them on the mini map though.

    They are not very useful anyway because the AI doesn't have any logic with them or any caution flag for that matter, other than the FCY.

    In my last 2 online league races yellows worked great in qualifying (on the hud, on track lights, yellow sector on mini map) and then nothing in the races - according to voice chat it was the same for others

    I've noticed that the excellent Second Monitor app (Second Monitor - Timing/Telemetry App) shows loads of yellow flags that don't appear on the AMS2 HUD. I'm not sure if Second Monitor is calculating its own yellows, or if AMS2 is outputting these yellows in the telemetry and they are correctly shown on Second Monitor but not shown on the AMS2 HUD due to some bug.

    The developer @Matus Celko has kindly confirmed that Second Monitor is actually calculating its own yellows, this is probably why it has so many more than the in-game HUD (but unfortunately doesn't help track down this possible bug of yellows not appearing for some people on the in-game HUD)
