    Sounds like a classic works in single player but not replicated online issue.

    they do see it, because it cycles through your light settings, on/high beam/off in quick succession and ends in the state it started with, so this works the same in multiplayer as it does in singleplayer.

    Check the pinned post in the reactions:

    "IMPORTANT!! At this point in game other players can't see you flashing the high beams, so I'd suggest to bind the main headlights for flashing instead. I was told that just after I released the video"

    Thank you, then I have to check my Simhub binding for that again. Last time I used it my friends in the same race told me they couldn't see my flashing

    I love the new XML overwrite parameters that affect both AI and player cars.
    Just wondering—would it be possible to add overwrites for driver names and car reliability as well? about "name" I don't think I'm the only one who wants to drive as an actual driver on the grid.

    about "reliability" It would also be great for career scenarios. For example, after moving from a team with excellent reliability, I might actually want to experience the frustration of driving for a team with poor reliability—much like Fernando Alonso did for large parts of his career.

    You can always change your name ingame to whoever you want to be in your profile settings, your steam name is only used in multiplayer/time trial mode

    Honestly for this one you could just change your in game profile name temporarily. It's one extra little thing to do, but definitely works.

    Edit: didn't realise I'd already been beaten to the punch... Soz

    Yeah, I used to do that too, but changing the driver name and nationality for every championship or race gets a bit tedious—especially since I switch drivers between GTP, GT3, F1(x4), and F-USA.

    That's why I was wondering if driver names could be overwritten through the XML file, just like some of the other parameters. Still, thanks for letting me know.
