The online racing simulator
change position of "Blue Flag" text
Is it possible to change the position of the "Blue Flag" Text? Its very annoying if this text is displayed directly over the mirror because in this case you have to pay special attention to your mirror. But this is difficult if there is a "Blue Flag" Text all over it.

I drive with the camera in the middle of the car and I don't want to change this.
That's pretty ironic, actually
Turn on the virtual mirror. That one is displayed higher than the "blue flag" messages.
Hmm, the Blue Flag message is in the centre for a reason; so that people can clearly see it and be able to asess the situation and when to move off the racing line and allow the leader(s) to pass. I cannot suggest anything, but I doubt the devs would go through trouble just to move the flag down 2". Use virtual mirror as mentioned if you need to see the mirror but BF is only displayed until the leader(s) pass you so it doesnt bother me.

I'm hoping the devs will go to the trouble of implementing animated flag-waving marshalls to replace the text.
Possibly in S3 but until then text is not optional.

Text is not the only solution. An icon would do the job as well.
I can't remember what game, I think it was F1 2004 for PS2 but it had a little icon in the top right for the flags. I thought that was pretty good as you notice it pop up and know what it is without it causing hassle and you getting distracted from what you are doing best (racing). Maybe the possibility of Icon or Text or both in the 'Options-Display' menu would be good.

Nice idea ... +1 for this
I think that there should be a blue flag option where the screen flashes with a blue tint.

Not fast. like 1hz (1 a second)
I am not blind, I do not need 'BLUE FLAG' filling the road ahead, instead small squares (a la rFactor/N2003) would do the job just fine and not take up the whole view. Also I think it would be very helpful for blue/yellow flags to be available for programs using inSim. I'd love to be able to run LFS with no overlays and have the information instead via a third party app on a small second screen.
Yup hes blind.
I'm for the little blue flag like in other games. I don't need the huge text, I don't really pay attention to it (I'm the type of guy that keeps racing, and let's the other guy pass if he's really faster), and I play with no overlay, so most of the time I don't even know about the blue flag.

Maybe a way to select what needs to be on the screen? I would love to have an empty screen, and the only things that pop up are flags (small in a corner of a screen), and maybe the pit timer.

Couldn't one modify the translation file, perhaps replacing "BLUE FLAG" with a less intrusive "B" or maybe add a line break (if implemented) so the text would be pushed lower?
