Anyone else having problem with flags being out of view in VR?

[grim_pilgrim]

Is there some way to move flags more to the center of view? I play on Rift and usally when I center the view correctly to match the steering wheel flags indicator (yellow, blue and so on)to the left is usually out of my view when driving. Is there some mod to move or change flags indicators to be more prominent or in different place then in the corner? I was searching for something like that but didn't find anything. I would prefere it to be up and in a center of view, just below the timer and lap counter or on the horizon line but not that far to one side. It could be just different colored squares. It would be much more visible.

I've watched the apps pretty closely,(2500 hrs in AC VR) and have not seen one that will do this. I think this and other parts of the ui are locked by the devs for now. We all have our fingers crossed for a major VR update that will address some of the ui issues.

Another one that bugs me is- no driver labels- Not having them makes it really hard to ID goofballs in need of kicking. There are so many people in VR now that it's impossible to police the servers. Everyone in VR pretty much has blinders on and are forced to ignore the keyboard when they are driving.

I need to do a search and see if anyone has started a VR wish list lately, There were a couple in the early days, but for primitive stuff like true Stereo 3D and Car Setup access. I think the most important update will be stereo mirrors, but the hidden Flag issue is in the top 5 for sure.
Good post.

Here you find a solution for the flagproblem: https://forum.virtualracing.org/showthread.php/105175-Assetto-Corsa-Flaggen-in-der-VR-Brille-Problem-gel%C3%B6st!

[grim_pilgrim]

Not much of a solution when I can't download the files. Don't want and don't need an account for german language only forum. Do you have any other easly accessible link to files in the post?

[Mr Crisp]

I use CrewChief app for Assetto Corsa and its useful in VR because it tells you flag warnings and car positions etc.

You can download it from thecrewchief.org

[grim_pilgrim]

Thanks @Mr Crisp I will try that also. In the meantime for anyone interested I found this mod http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/modern-flags.7934/ (this one needs an account but I think anyone racing in AC alreay has one at RaceDepartment.) which switches regular flags for bigger and more fancy looking. At least now I can see that there is something in my perfierial view even though I still can't see whole flag. If only @Clamanca_at would answer my question and provide accessible link to the flags he found maybe those are even better.

Get 'Crew Chief' )

Thank you captain obvious @Mr Crisp just said that. Can you read or you just read the headings? BTW that is not a solution to my problem just way around it. If you have nothing useful to contribute to discussion please refrain yourself from posting.

I agree. They're out of view for me, as well, but I never considered it a problem, because I use Crew Chief. It's a very handy app, especially for VR. I don't use any HUD elements during a SP race, and only the map in MP, so I can see car positions on track.

Hey- I have an idea! Get Crew Chief?!
Or, if you can read, read my first reply and give up wasting time on this. Too late! Or- Like Haiden suggested- Realize that [assuming you can turn your head] It's' not a real game breaker. Are you going to be the only guy in AC who slows down for yellow flags? You have my permission to ignore them. Are you going to block the faster guy behind you and not bother to check for a blue flag just because you have to turn your head?- Then blame it on the poor Vr implementation? Better hope it's not me in your mirror!
You will get used to it- about the time they[for more realism] remove them from VR all together, forcing you to look at the marshals.

I don't know what's your problem with me now because in frst post YOU said:
"I think the most important update will be stereo mirrors, but the hidden Flag issue is in the top 5 for sure.
Good post." <--------!

and basically agreed with me on everything, and now you attacking me because I criticized some guy called BetaGunner who posted same thing as previous poster without even reading any previous posts. What is your problem? noone was attacking you.

Also like I said CrewChief is not a solution just a workaround and not so basically easy because you have to download lot of ♥♥♥♥♥ and configure it which takes a lot of time as I ALREADY DID.
Wow, I have your permission to ignore yellow flags? Well Sir, mighty humble of you! FYI main main concern are blue flags and not blocking guy laping me not that happens often but anyway.

I KNOW I CAN TURN MY HEAD TO SEE THE FLAG BUT TO DO SO I FIRSTLY HAVE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY FLAG TO LOOK AT! You understand now? I don't see any notification because I ussually focus on the road and for example car in front of me? I don't know about you but I don't constantly check my left corner of the screen if there is any flag there! Yes it is poor choice in this implementation of VR and they should change the placement of the flag indicator, that's all.

Also I downoaded new set of flags and provided a link to them and now I can see at least a part of the flag in my perifferial SO I CAN TURN MY HEAD AND LOOK AT IT. Thanks everyone very much for nothing I guess. Case closed.

Get a grip man!

To clarify; Hidden flags are a problem for new players- Not me! I'm usually in or near the lead with other fast drivers on my tail, so even if I saw a Yellow flag I would not slow down, unless I know the guys behind me and trusted that they will not exploit.

Blue flags are not shown to faster cars; they are shown to cars on the tail end of the field, or previously lapped cars, cars on an out-lap in qualli, and cars not in the timed race.

The only time I see Blue flags is when I join a server mid race or when I'm on an out lap, in which case I stay out of everyone's way, as you are supposed to, and never need to check the flags. You can choose to yield to faster cars out of respect and courtesy, as it sounds like you may do already- kudos! But you will not see a flag for that.

You can ask BetaGunner, and I'm sure he can stick up for himself; But I don't think he was offering new information as much as he was giving a second opinion on, and a review of, previously given info. But either way- his smile emot didn't dissuade you from doging him out!

Dont' act so Trumpish toward people you don't know, or expect more of this. It's offensive!

Thank you Reverend Snapyourheadoff- Nice contribution!

It looks like you found a way around your problem, so go practice.

So... basically... this would be... Virtual... Augmented... Reality ... right?

[grim_pilgrim]

Whoooo you again @NIKKI IXX with your "know everything and I'm king of the world" attitude. Number one racer in the entire world! You are so fast and furoius. Wow! I should be bowing before you as you never seen blue flag in your entire racing carrier since you were in kindergarden beating lewis hammilton. Ooh boy. where to start. Firstly, when I have nothing new to add when someone ask for help I don't say anything. Simple? Yes but I can see not for everyone. I don't give a rat's a.ss for next sugestion about the same thing which is not even the answer to the stated question. Those suggestions of installing CrewChief as an answer for my question is like saying "get an xbox" for someone asking where he can buy a playstation. You just don't get it do you? I don't know why you are so deffensive about BetaGunner for his doubious contribution, maybe you are his girlfriend or something, idk. If you want to continue your weird crusade against me fine but I won't be reading it because I'm unsubscribiing from this thread before it become too toxic from your ramblings. Bye!

Cha-Ching!

No its not. We are not telling to buy another machine capable of gaming, are we?
We're literally just saying to download a free program which even if you didn't care about flags, is a very good program to use for VR.

You just don't get it do you?

You won't get it until you start using CrewChief.
