Why no flag System?

Urban legend!

 

Their is a scenario that will initiated a full course yellow with SC for those who would like to experience it.

1. Start from the pole.
2. Stole and hold back a car behind you for a few second
3. Full course yellow will be initiated
4. Catch the driver you are supposed to follow.

Not realistic, but at least you can see how it will work, if it ever happens during normal racing, which never, ever, happened to me.
Would be curious to understand what needs to happen in race for a FC yellow with SC to happen in AMS 2.

 

Maybe it was a fluke, but I had one this morning! Ginetta G40 Cup , at Brands Hatch. One of the AI cars had an engine failure or something that made them pull over on the side of the track. The car was in a sketchy area, so we got a FCY + safety car. Very realistic!

Earlier in this championship I had my engine die due to a coolant leak, and an occasional AI will have a failure as well, so i'm either very lucky to see this behavior or something!

 

I’ve had FCY and safety cars at Nords , But what’s really grinding my gears is the fact that cars that are stricken on or just off track are not under yellow flags.
Last one encountered only yesterday again on the combined Nordschleife and the only reason I knew something was stopped ahead was the fact that the live timing showed me catching at a rate of knots and I happened to notice that so I knew to be careful. This was a practice session so didn’t trigger a vsc. Should be under flags , They don’t work and I don’t think Reiza can otherwise surely they would by now.
Maybe it’s low priority for some but having your race ended after investing a fair bit of time into it by a car that’s stuck on track sucks.
Working flags should be a fundamental feature for a game simulating motorsports.

 

This is an old thread and nothing has changed!...and they have added the fancy trackside flag panels, for flags we don't have! Go figure?

 

Maybe they can’t do it for whatever reason , It was a glaring omission from PC1 and 2 so maybe a madness engine thing.
Some games seem to be able to get it in right from the get go.
Be nice to to hear an acknowledgment that it’s either something they could or just can’t do.
