Turn signals to the cars

not really, it's about the neutral/ 0 degreees, it will switch off when steering wheel goes across it , again auto off is the least of the problem
as long as it makes into game, I'm happy,

 

I simply ask a question out of pure curiousity...

 

Sorry for jumping down your throat, I thought you were being sarcastic (there's a lot of it around).

In answer to your question, there isn't much difference, but in AC we envisage that having lots of nice looking cars of all classes on one track (track day) would be good, especially on the Nurb. But there is the obvious danger of putting different classed cars on one track, so having hazard/indicators/blinkers or whatever you want to call them, would be helpful to let the slower drivers signal to faster drivers that they are aware of their presence and what side of the track they should pass.

PS You've misquoted me?

 

Don't worry... and yes, something got mixed up.

I really wonder if you can make it work with many different cartypes on one track.
We could never make it work in our league. WTCC with 4 models was the limit.
It was inevitably resulting in lag and with even more models, in memory issues.
We even had to abandon a beautiful F1 mod with separate models for each team.

 

Well we don't really know if it will work because KS isn't very forthcoming with information (that's not a dig at KS BTW) but we can give it a try. We have a server set aside for AC with 100mbit bandwidth so we shouldn't have a problem.
We had a track day server running for R07 but as everyone knows, the cars don't look very nice compared to AC. It would really just be a place to practice the track and enjoy the scenery/cars.
The issues you had sound like server or bandwidth limitations?

 

The traffic measurements never gave any indications that there was a problem there. We suspected
the memory usage or the internal rF1 design. It wasn't really designed to take advantage of multicore cpu's.

 

anyway, that would be a big step towards realism, whether you like it or not

 

You don't give up, do you ?

 

no way man

 

As long as the real car has it, I find Madsen proposal a legitimate wish.
Just like having rain light on formulas (even if we don't have at moment the rain), headlights (implemented even if we don't have at moment the night) etc......
Sometime differencies are details.
Naturally everything has to be provided with the right priority, i.e for sure turning signals development can't take time, only for example, to the multiplayer development.
But in a future view why not?

 

Hello, really like me much driving practice as a Nordschleife with any vehicle and is an open session where anyone can enter with any vehicle ....
imagine the simulator much like what would happen if you rent a car to go around in Nurburgring! you come with the fiat 500 and you passed by a BMW Z4 GT3 ...
That must be incredible.
that at some point it would be very good to have turn signals!
big hug!

 

Why not just have it play the ticking sound? At least all cars I've been in have one to tell you the signals are on.

 

massive trackday at nurburgring with a lot of players would be awesome, turn signals would be used just has in real life
racing purists may disagree with me, but I look for the realism side, the true feeling of not just racing at nordschleife but taking your car to a "trackday" with a lot of people would be really nice
just don't get angry like this dude if someone doesnt let you pass! lol

I'd like both functioning indicators, odometer, tripmeter etc. Minor features, but adds a lot to immersion and indicators are good means of communication on a track. Gets my vote for sure.

 

Of course that should be implemented and most of the time that would work for me. It could fail for me when I can't turn up the volume loud enough though. This week I'm on call for work so I can't wear my in ear monitors because I wouldn't hear the pager. This means using the speakers and I don't dare to cranck them up at night out of fear for pesterting the neigbours with screaming racing engine sounds.

 

I think that for race cars the ticking sound isn't audible also in the real world.... so a perfect realism!

 

Yes, yes, yes!

 

You realize this was a 2.5 years old thread?????

 

yep, pretty much clear that it's not going to happen

 

Never say never..... Soon™

By the way, topical matter these days. I'm following the 24he of Le Mans on Eurosport and many time slower cars were using turn signal when faster cars were arriving from behind
