#19967 Sound Events: New Leader options.

Just an idea. During a race you're focused so much on your own car that you don't always know what position everyone is in. From time to time the announcer will say who the leader is but no other positions. It would be nice to hear what position everyone else is in. Is there any chance under the new leader option we can have more options to not only announce the leader but maybe an option to announce 2nd and 3rd place during a race also?  Or ​better yet, maybe options to choose as many as desired to 6th place during ​t​he new leader announcement. The options would let you choose what works best for you.​ I think it would be helpful and interesting to hear what position everyone is in during a race. :-) Rick

Finde ich auch eine klasse Idee,. man hat wenig Zeit zum Blick auf den Screen, daher wäre es schön, zwischendurch seine eigene Position im Rennen optional zu hören.

The next version will optionally also announce position changes further down the order. To keep it simple and clean, It will only announce gained positions though.

Example: Driver 1 was third but overtook a car and is now second. The app will then announce "Driver is now in position 2".

Announcing all positions is just too much and error prone. Since this would potentially be a long running announcement until all positions have been announced, this could lead to confusion if the positions change during the announcement.

That sounds great. Looking forward to the next version. If you need Beta testers let me know.  Thanks Marc.  Rick
