Need help about "broadcasting"

In MP you could drive and have another player on a different computer leave his car in the pits. He´d have to press drive once, than back to pits and now he can select people from the drivers list and press F3 for track cam. Disable the driver list and chat menu, you´d still be left with the red options bar on the left side of the screen. Done this a couple of times waiting for a race to be over.

Bad points are that you´d take up an additional server spot for the spectator and you´d have to look at out at race start, since you sometimes seem to spawn in the last position from which you viewed (Got spawned right before number one car on race start once, wasn´t nice). So you´d have to try and get into pit before the race starts, if the "Back to pits" button does this in this case.

Edit: That could work as well on a LAN server.

 

You can actually close that left bar by pressing on the drive button, and then use ctrl+1,2,3 (numlock numbers) for browsing the cars; which means you can also use apps on screen that way.

But would be cool one or two extra space per server only for broadcast purposes, but could be an option configurable in server setup.

 

Other way of getting rid of the red buttons on the side might be increasing horizontal resolution in "video.ini" (in documents -> AC -> cfg) by 200 if you want to hide all the buttons and use alt+tab to switch between normal resolution where you can click stuff and fullscreen windowed where the buttons would be not visible (off screen).
Or increase the width by something like 194 pixels, and have the red buttons take only 1pixel of width on the left side, so they are clickable and almost invisible. This would also make it keyboard free option, and retain the usefulnesses of car list.

 

As Quffy said, in "drive" mode you can just cycle to other players' cars view through that keyboard shortcut, then hide all the apps on that PC and you are basically seeing "live" the other car driving around. You can choose all the cameras you want and even use some apps. I suppose this is what they do when they live broadcast league races, AFAIK (example: https://www.twitch.tv/nagptv/v/54503236 )
