Blue Flags Qualifying Idea

Recommended Posts

I don't no if there is already a disccusion about this, but here's the thing i want to discuss:

Sometimes in Qualifying sessions the AI cars are driving in the way (while the're driving their outlap) and they won't let you pass without losing any time on your fast lap.

Blue Flags are enabled in races, so why not in qualifying sessions(and also practice sessions)?

My idea is to add blue flags for cars in qualifying, especially (ofcourse) for cars not driving a fast lap. 

Tell me what you think guys :)

Yea I smash into them all the time in quali...pretty upsetting if you are on a good hot lap... The blue flags would be a good idea but doubtful if CM could make it work...

Are there blue flags in RL in practice and qualifying? No? Than why om earth should the game have it? They better just let the AI be slow on in and out laps. No need for a blue flag for that.

The reason the blue flag is suggested is because that was the best cure the OP could think of for the problem.  You seem to agree there is a problem and have also suggested another soloution but i think that a combination of both of your suggestions are required to make a perfect cure.  The blue flags though should be silent triggers for the AI only no actual flag or anything should show but the AI will recognise that it has to get the hell out of your way.  I also think they should do slower in and out laps of the racing line (but not too slow) but they should be prepared to get well out of the way if required.

never happend to me. They all go out 2 mins before ending in Q3 like me so we can do a final lap. I do my runs in the middle of the Q1 & Q2. Your problem is that you have 20 cars go on track and get in the way. In full qualy Q3 only 10 cars go out.
