Turn signals to the cars

Another solution for forgetting to turn off blinkers would be to allow the option for them to be on only while the button is being pressed.

 

that's not good idea I think, since you need your hands elsewhere,
if turning off is an issue, there could be a cycle that if you press the button, it would illuminate 3-5 times ,

but honestly, i think it should be done that you press the button once, you turn it on, you press second time to turn it off, if you press once, and then press the other side , it will switch to other side, but to turn it off, you just press the same button again,

I think there are way bigger distractions than this, and if this really becomes an issue, there might a option in menu that visually disables it

 

That depends on the controller of course. With the wheel I use there are several buttons within reach of both my thumbs. Also the key is in the word option. Default would be push to turn on and push again to turn off. Don't like my option ? Don't turn it on

 

well, but if you steer and try to hold the button at the same time ? .. I mean yes, it's doable, but is it comfortable ? .. further more, is that realistic ?

If there are buttons that do have this in real life, like I imagine flash to pass might be working in RL, by all means, do it in game in the same way
of course nothing wrong with options, unless there is too many of them

 

the faster car makes headlight flash and the slow makes the flashing warning system in order to annoy the rapid

no I'm just joking, but that will increase in any case, the degree of realism

 

There's a "flash" button on the steering wheel for a reason, turn signals are too slow.

 

don't understand what you're saying ? nobody suggest to flash using turn signals ?

 

Flashing headlights is all that's needed in this aspect, Turn signals aren't (yet) worth the bother.

 

turning signals are almost same important in endurance racing, and in track days events they are more important than flashing headlights
plus you can flash headlights at this point already, so nothing really new there

 

First of all my apologies to Madsen. I thought (and still think) his request was unreasonable but I should not have
written it like that.

I wrote that I haven't seen it in racing (even though I am a dedicated fan of Le Mans 24h). After all your comments
I reviewed almost 4 hours of video footage on youtube and haven't found one single fragment where indicators are
used. That doesn't mean it is not used at all but I seriously doubt that it is commonly used. There is a good reason
for that: in most of the situations I came across, it would have been utterly confusing and downright dangerous. Apart
from that, the difference in speed is such that you don't even have time to blink once and that LMP car has already
blown by a while ago.

I have checked th VLN races. I have never seen them, not even on TV and my time is unfortunately limited so I just
read some articles and saw 1 interview. There are 30 classes in 4 divisions with reports of more than 200 participating
cars with more than 400 drivers driving everything from small legal street cars to ex-DTM cars. If you want to push
realism to the degree where you implement indicators, you also need to implement a functioning car stereo.

But my opinion doesn't really matter. Your computer resources are limited and mixed classes in this scale required
a *lot* of memory. Every time we tried to put together a mixed league or series with unique cars like F1, we ran into
memory problems. And with the graphics in AC being more advanced than in rF and provided that the AC graphics
memory requirements following the same logic as rF, it will be very difficult to run such series on a mainstream machine.

There was one other thought that crossed my mind : when you open the AC homepage, it will show you the add with
the AC logo and the red ferrari. It shows the AC vision: "your racing simulator". First of all: that excludes trackdays.
Secondly: That makes it remarkable that there are so many streetcars available and so few racing cars. It is a collapse
of the concept and maybe it is not so strange that Madsen and I had completely different expectations.

 

indicators @ 19:07, 19:18, 20:10, 22:40, 23:01, 23:50, 24:02, 24:06, 26:33, 32:16, 32:25

 

very nice example video

 

Exactly: 11 cars out of approximately 70 cars use the blinkers. And now the real issue:
how many off you are going to setup a VLN server with all the BMWs, Porsches, Renault
Clio's, Ford Fiesta, Corsa's and all the other models I saw flying by ?

 

When the Nurb is released we will have a "Track Day" server...

 

How is that different from an open practice server ?

 

On some parts of the track it isn't necessary to use your indicator (for example long straights), but on corners and chicanes it is really useful.

 

What difference does that make?
What's wrong with having tools to help avoid collisions (indicators)?
It's unlikely it will be implemented but we can but hope for things like this to make the game better.

 

Regarding the issue of people leaving any potential turn signals on, and how to resolve this, isn't that big of a deal I don't think. Euro Truck Simulator 2 currently has a turn signal that automatically turns off after the wheel has been rotated in the direction of the turn and then back in the opposite direction.

 

It's not meant to be comfortable. It's meant to remind you to turn of the blinkers. At little bit of discomfort will help there.

Nope, but nor is pushing a button to turn on the blinkers and pushing the same button again to turn them off, as in most cars you use the levers behind the wheel to operate them. Assetto Corsa of course is as sim, but at the same time it's still a game meant to be fun. In my opinion that means you sometimes compromise a bit of realism for ease of use.

 

that's true but you have to turn the wheel at least 180 degress which is not the case on most parts on the nordschleife
