FLag indicator in connection list
is it possible to have a yellow or blue flag in the connection list right next to the guy who causes it. i know noobTV had it built in. but i think it would be nice to have that in game.
I don't really see the need for it to be honest... maybe you could explain why you think we need this?
I couldn't care less if someone else is getting a yellow of blue flag.
I'd be a bit concerned that we'd have a disco on the side of the screen during a race.
I just look at the screen - nice big text letters so you can get out of the way. Of course, a flag, or even an animated marshall might be nice one day.

If you want to see when the driver in front gets his blue flag so you can scream abuse at them when they don't move then I suggest you learn to drive. It's YOUR fault if you tangle with a lapped driver, blue flags, spam messages or not.
ok its mainly a thing for league or race administrators.

on large tracks it is sometime very difficult to see if there is any danger on the track. you can see it on the minimap of course if someone is spinning, but as an admin you can't jump to that position because you don't know which car it is. because the minimap is not clickable.

so the only chance for the admin is to switch through all cars (32! now) to see where that crashed car is and if it is a danger to the race to decide THEN if a pacecar has to be sent out or not.

so an indicator next to the drivers name in the connection list is a good thing to have.

nobody drives with the connection list on all the time so i don't see a problem with disco. you can make it optional as well. just one more YES / NO question in the options and anyone who do not want to have that information won't get it...
+1 for more visual clues to help adms (and spectators) survey the track more efficiently.

by the way i still think a 'track position list' or 'cars on track list' (http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=406097#post406097) would be very handy for adms
+1 and a sort ability to group all lapped racers in the list. This will be nice for admins to ban some people they dont let pass the leaders.

New connection list columns needed;

name | status (spectating or on track) | car | lapped | kick | ban | Take over | Controller | Ping

And a highlighting of the spectated player because in qualifying and practice is no position list avaiable. Furthermore is the jump to the position list to highlight a spectated annoying.

Off Topic:
But Controller is senseless because if you use the mouse-axes in a wheel-configuration it shows a W. For Mouse XY-use should be also shown a M in the controller-column. And please dont remove the XY-use of mouse, i really love to drive with it.
