Imagine being in a race, doesnt have to be a serious race or anything, and then you miss a timing gate and have no idea you did until its too late.
what if you add a slowly flashing "Missed Gate!" at the top left right under where it says "Dabbing!" when you skip a gate.
EX: you hit gate 7 and then hit gate 9. that triggers the effect.
any thoug

Re: Missed Gate Warning
The only thing I'd really be interested here is to get a little notification whether you're ghosted or not due to timing gate misses/being too slow between 2 timing gates.

Re: Missed Gate Warning
Hard to see a situation where going back for it would be less than the penalty.

I've missed gates and been a lap behind in two seperate rF races,jlv wrote:Hard to see a situation where going back for it would be less than the penalty.
I think this would be a cool feature for people who cant stay on track (myself included).

Re: Missed Gate Warning
You have to miss several gates to lose a lap. The game only checks the next three gates after the last gate you hit, so if you miss three it won't see you again until the next time around. (Not checking the whole lot saves a bit of CPU time.) So what you really want is for it to check more gates. It'd be an easy change to make although I'd be a little worried about any unintended consequences the change might cause.Racers52 wrote:I've missed gates and been a lap behind in two seperate rF races,jlv wrote:Hard to see a situation where going back for it would be less than the penalty.

Re: Missed Gate Warning
Its honestly tough to miss a timing gate unless you dramatically jump 2 or 3 lanes over but even then just re-enter at the point you came off at.
