Dabbing!Dabbing!Dabbing!Dabbing!Dabbing!Dabbing!

1) Like the subject line shows, could you give us an option to make it repeat "Dabbing!" across the top of the screen to make it easier to see out of my periph?

2) I asked in 19805 about being able to push forward as well as backward, but you mentioned that it would mess up time trials. Could you possibly have it done through a modifier, like "Ctrl-push back" or "Brakes-push back"? Getting back into sim brought the need for this feature into the forefront!

I don't think flooding the screen with that message would be a good idea. Might make sense to have it blink though.

The pushing only goes backwards to make it slower to just force your way up stuff with it. It's really just meant to pull yourself out if you get stuck somewhere or get off the starting gate if you go too soon.

How would it hurt if you can't see it? Only us afflicted folks would see it, IF it was an option. I can't make it work without sticky dab, my button press doesn't always work and looking up has an adverse affect on my already precarious riding.

Maybe I misunderstood. Do you mean repeat it like someone was spamming it in chat or just make it say "Dabbing! Dabbing! Dabbing! Dabbing! Dabbing!"?

Yes. Maybe have a changeable number of repeats to get one line that doesn't wrap. I even thought, but didn't mention a bar ,similar to the blue bar. Which is more difficult, coding wise?

Wouldn't be difficult at all. I'm just not sure it wouldn't look ridiculous. Wouldn't it be better to make it blink or be a different color?

In my case, no. It would break my cone of concentration better than if only occupying that smaller area(ironic for ADD). Maybe font size? I originally thought of it like the blue lapper bar, but yellow? Looking ridiculous is only on the monitor(in the eye?) of the beholder, if it was enabled.

I really need to get UI scripting in the game for stuff like this. This would be a good mod but not something I think it should do by default.
