Would it be cool if the race marshals on the sides of the track be programed to turn there heads and watch the cars go by? I always notice how neet it is that they are there, but so inanimate.

It seems like it wouldn't be too hard to do (except when large packs of cars go by), and it could go a long way to add a degree of realism to the marshals.

It appears that the models of the track marshals are the same as the drivers, whose heads already turn. If the cameras of the tv perspective can follow me, it seems like the marshals heads could tilt as well.

Sorry if this is a repost. What do you guys think?

..do you honestly think anyone would ever notice that lol?

I don't know, thats why I asked. I seem to notice every time I drive Blackwood. All I'm saying is it would be a relatively easy change, and it (for me) would make LFS a lot more believable.

I think they should have the marshals waving flags before they get into the teeny itsy bitsy details of those sorts. GTR has marshals waving flags like the yellow, whenever Scawen can get the flag system working with no bugs and hinges. I'm sure then we can worry about what our eyes will see in half a second.

they should be waving flags instead of us getting a message across the screen.

to flags

Change to 3rd gear and you won't notice it anymore...

No, honestly, I don't care if they stare at me as I'm passing by, I'd rather like them waving flags instead of the text "xy flag" (as mentioned by all above posts )...

If I'm being totally honest, I hadn't even noticed the wee buggers!

I've seen plenty of spectators though, some in underpants.

yep.. all good until you start using them as brake points and then stare at them and miss the brake point

I usually only notice the marshalls if I've smacked a fence and I'm right near them...they don't notice me though - they just stare straight ahead and ignore me

IF they get paid

Both text and the flags IMO.

It would be a nice touch if you where near them (crashed or whatever) and they did show a degree of interaction. Wouldn't mean much, just one of those nice little touches that would just put LFS that bit more above the competition.

Would be good if you saw them waving flags though. That would be neat.

Having them point and laugh at my busted-arse car would be pretty sweet.

Seeing them stand around the radio trying to make out if the controller said Race end or dangerous bend.
