    Hello,

    With the update to add an auto headlight button it makes things more awkward to use the on/off button as a flasher. Could you please Implement a Specific Flasher button similar to that of iRacing. its a really useful feature.

    In previous races i have seen people disqualified for accidently leaving their headlights off after flashing a car in front. this would remove the risks of that if you could press the flash button then the lights return to their previous state

    thanks

    if you use simhub, there is a plugin for that, it even remembers if light was on or off

    Please forget Simhub, forget plugins! There are things that a simracing game should supply, like flashlights, like a bar to see if FFB is clipping, like a reliable Relative with codes for multiclass....
    Some of the things that people wish after a lot of years, but never was implemented.
    I shouldn't use any unofficial software to get bàsic things in the sim

    yes you SHOULDN'T have to, but the choice right now is to use a 3rd party item or not have it at all. We have a phrase in America, 'Don't cut off your nose, just to spite your face.' You can and should ask for such a feature, one of many we'd like to see. But you only punish yourself by not trying currently available items.
    @Seven Smiles has also released an app that will flash lights and prevent the off headlight penalty.
    The one positive note I can add, recently S397 included menu commands to automatically turn on headlights. Perhaps the next step will be to include a flasher option.

    i was quite happy with just turning the headlights on and off to flash but the auto headlights is a good feature but does not need to be on the headlight button. it should have either been a seperate function or a tick box in the settings/car setup.

    i use simhub for other things, and have a working relative which is useful although i dont mind racing without.

    features such as this and others should be in the game, its why i added a poll to this thread
