FLAGS

The active flag at every moment: LED matrix, colour, name and blinking when urgent.

What it is for

FLAGS shows the current race flag in large, so you do not miss it.

How to open and place it

  1. In the Suite menu, OVERLAYS group, click FLAGS. On the left you see DISPLAY and on the right its menu.
  2. Click START. STOP removes it.
  3. AUTOMATIC: it starts with the simulator and stops when you close it.
  4. The dropdown chooses which screen it appears on. VR tells you which window to capture in virtual reality. STREAMING copies the link to add it to OBS as a browser source. MANUAL opens this manual on the web.
  5. Drag it to move it and stretch its corner to resize it.
  6. To drive without a click touching it, the Ctrl+Alt+L shortcut locks and releases the overlays.

The menu

  • Look: Legacy, Flag or Round.
  • Display: Background Opacity.

Common tasks

Showing it only when there is a flag

  1. Turn off Show No Flag State.

Making it blink more slowly

  1. Raise Blink Period (s).

Common problems

  • It looks empty in the preview: it only draws when there is a flag. Turn on Show No Flag State to see it.
  • It does not show on track: check iRacing is open.
