Turn signals to the cars

we definitely need turn signals, to avoid misunderstandings in multiplayer mode.
On the real nordschleife, the driver of the slower cars also use the turn signal

What do you think?

 

A indicator wouldn't be so bad^^

 

From my point of view can't be considered as a primary feature to develop, but I definitively agree it's a feature "nice to have"!

 

For cars that actually have turn signals that would be nice. Working hazard lights would be useful too. Those could even be implemented to work as pit lane blinkers or in rainy weather.

You must be joking...

 

why should I make jokes? Have you ever been on the Nordschleife? On the Nordschleife is so common that the slower flashes to signal the man behind that he can pass without danger.

 

He's right. Just have a look at the Nordschleife videos in Youtube.

 

Yes, I know it is common practice on trackdays all over Europe to use those lights, I've done it myself. I don' t think however that that kind of events with such a wide variety of vehicles are the prime subject of simulation in AC. And I have never seen indicator lights being used in a racing event.

 

Slow cars in the VLN are using their indicators always

 

that's true

 

Also during 24hr Le Mans and generally during all long races where many different classes are racing together.
That means Madsen is not joking at all
Nice feature to have when developer will have time to dedicate to details.

 

exactly, in mixed class events it's commonly used ( LeMans, VLN, even on recent 24h Dubai)

I can't see any harm done if these are included, it will make the experience much more pleasing, and as said, even multilayer will greatly benefit from it - especially for free practice/track days kind of events.

if AC had only race cars, I could see this being bigger concern, but it has lot of road cars, and these being used on track day event is more realistic/simulation then using them in race with no indicators

they also use indicators (sometimes0 when car goes into pits,
have seen this in real life in Fia GT races

 

the only issue I can see is drivers forgetting to turn them off, weve all followed that guy in real life whose oblivious to the fact he's driving with a indicator on, and that's with a indicator lever that should switch back after the turn, I guess we will just have buttons which would mean a manual press to turn on and off, maybe an on screen light or an audio tick but again whilst racing I imagine these being missed

 

simply a visual and audible indication that the turn signal is on would help

 

Depending on how the 'off track penalty' will work in v1.0 (I hope it changes!), automatic flashing hazards to signal that you have no throttle would be useful to let other drivers know you cannot accelerate.

 

surely it has too change, cant go cutting engines during close racing, keeping an eye open for hazard lights to come on whilst im hot on the tail of another driver I imagine will be almost impossible.

 

But this happens in real life too, so wouldn't this make it even more realistic?

 

maybe, but I just feel it will cause confusion and maybe even some devious game playing by some of the more unsavoury characters...
