Blue Flags In rfactor
So what do the blue flags in rFactor actually mean?
According to most of the microbial life on the open servers, the blue flags mean you have to pull over and slow down to let the faster driver though. The poor little ******s seem incapable of overtaking anything without ramming it off the road unless they have help. IMO the blue (in rF) is just a warning that a faster car is approaching and not an order to pull over. When being overtaken, you should hold your line. However, you may want to move over while exiting a corner, or on a straight, and lift to aid safe passing. Any comments? |

Blue Flags In rfactor
Dave,
A light blue flag, sometimes with a diagonal yellow, orange, or red stripe, informs a driver that a faster car is approaching and that the driver should move aside to allow one or more faster cars to pass. During a race, this would usually only be shown to a lapped driver, but during practice or qualifying it could be shown to any driver. In some series, the blue flag is not mandatory {PLEASE NOTE the FOLLOWING} - ***drivers obey it only as a courtesy to their fellow racers***. In other series, drivers get severely penalized for not yielding or interfering with the leaders, including getting sent to the pits for the rest of the race. In Formula One, if the driver about to be lapped ignores three waved blue flags in a row, he is required to make a drive-through penalty. Sure, you can argue that you would rather be a dick and ignore the flag, im sure there are people that think stealing is just fine as well...

We are talking rF here, where the Blue Flag IS NOT an order to pull over. If
you are incapable of lapping a slower car without help then you shouldn't be on the track.

> So what do the blue flags in rFactor actually mean? Depends on the server setting... if flag rules are enforced, the game will hand out penalties for ignoring blue flags. It's easy to determine which setting is in force: if you get a written warning in the message box after ignoring the blue flag for a couple corners, flag rules are enforced. Otherwise it's up to your sense of fair play as to how you act. > According to most of the microbial life on the open > servers, the blue flags mean you have to pull over > and slow down to let the faster driver though. I've noticed this too... even in sections where there really are no opportunities to let people through. > <snip> > IMO the blue (in rF) is just a warning that a faster > car is approaching and not an order to pull over. > When being overtaken, you should hold your line.

I tend to agree, but one can only really do something about over-impatient drivers in a league context. Jan. =--- |

So true. These people are just brain dead. They entre braking zones right behind slower drivers and the act surprised when they end up ramming them! Go in on a different line, you ****ing ****s! 99% of they seem also to think that you can win the race on the first corner. ****ing moronic ****s, the lot of them!!!!! |

Of course I'm going to ignore the flag on a section where I need to concentrate on staying in control. What are you, some kind of a ****? Stealing? You ****ing ****! |

You're running in the wrong server anyway. Pick a mod and join a league
that runs that mod. The league management will have already set the blue flag rules and you will know exactly what they mean. Blue flags are most effective when set at advisory.

You're right, but I don't have time to run in a league.
