Pretty much the latter. There's no explicit rules as to how you should handle blue flags in SRS regulations, so I don't see rules about headlight use is something we'll see in the near future.

I understand, cheers for the reply.

Hi, noob here, recently I've had people behind me either with their lights on or flashing them at me in races and sometimes in qualifying. I understand when people do it when they're on their flying lap to let you know where they are and to get out of the way but in the braking zone of a corner halfway through the race? Seems malicious to me. It's really distracting especially with the virtual mirror. So are there any rules against this or is it just something you have to deal with and not let it bother you?
Thanks

Regarding should it be allowed in a race, I'm not too bothered. At the moment I'm mainly driving open wheelers so I don't have that problem as they don't have headlights. Watching any endurance event I have seen many drivers try flashing their lights to distract opponenets so it does happen in real life.

You might be able to adjust your graphic settings so that you don't see your opponenets blinking headlights in your mirror. I'm guessing you have the custom shaders patch installed which means you are also using the Content Manager launcher as well. I don't think the vanilla game had headlights but I can't remember, its been a while since I've played it like that. If so perhaps you could turn off the settings in the mirrors. Something like unticking the box in Settings > Custom Shaders Patch > Lighting FX > Enable Lights in Mirror,   might work for you. Perhaps unticking Settings > Custom Shaders Patch > Smart Mirror > Post-Processing for Virtual Mirrors could work instead. You can always disable the entire Lighting FX and Smart Mirror by unticking the Extension box at the top of their respective pages.  Try running a night race offline where the AI have their lights on as a test to see if it works. If you find what works you could then save a preset for that disables those lights while racing online and another preset that re-enables it for offline driving so that its very easy to switch between the two with one simple click.

An alternative option might be to change your PP filter back to default if its set to something like SOL,  See Settings > Assetto Corsa > Video > Post-Processing > Filter. You can also change the PP Filter in the middle of race with the PP Filter app. I was trying the lego car at the lego track last week for fun (don't judge I grew up on Lego racers) and I couldn't see out of the windshield due as I was blinded by the lights around the track> When I switched the PP filter from SOL to Default, I could suddenly see much more clearly as I think it stopped any of those extra lights.

Thanks, I'll have a look into it. Maybe not disabling bc I'd atleast like to know IF I'm being flashed in case it is for some actual reason and not just distraction, but I'll definitely look into the post processing settings for the virtual mirror and the like, thanks!
