Hi guys,

I am in a little bit of a pickle. My broadcasting group has been picked by the real-world Spec MX-5 Challenge series to broadcast an eSports championship based on their real series on the Winding Road Magazine YouTube channel. The winner of the series gets to test a Spec MX-5 at COTA or choose to do racing school through Winding Road. The Winding Road YouTube channel has nearly a half a million subscribers and these races are likely to be some of the most-watched iRacing live streams ever.

I really want to step up our graphics package for this series. Like, really step it up. And since it's going to be a road series with no full course cautions, I'd like to find a way to implement local yellows via a script. My understanding is that local yellows are client side and not transmitted via the server. But I think it would be possible to detect a certain number of incidents in a given sector, and then return the sector number, cars involved, and trigger a yellow flag on my ticker. I imagine that if it is even remotely possible, it would be quite a complex script, and I have next to no knowledge of how to actually accomplish it.

Pipe dream I should move on from, or legitimate possibility with some creativity? Thanks,

Kyle
