Arc Air with Magic App Yellow Flag

Hello.

I have just got my arc air working with a custom track, though setting the pace car was a bit poor with the official app so I tried the Magic app and it works a treat.
Now I am racing with the Magic app I want to set a yellow flag. Referring to the manual under General Configuration there should be a Yellow Flag Method on page 6 of the manual.

Yellow flag method
Set how to activate a yellow flag via the controller. You can choose which button or which combination
of buttons to press.
But on my version of the Magic app: 1.7.3.0 there is no such entry. I am running on Android.
So the question is how do I trigger a yellow flag in version 1.7.3.0?

I did not log this under the magic air bug thread as it is a end user bug, as opposed to app bug, really :)

Thanks

Not an option in ArcAir.

Don't know if this is deliberate or a bug but I run ArcPro and Magic and the option is there. Just bought an ArcAir for a small rally layout I am building and tried both side by side. No option showing on ArcAir but fine on ArcPro.

Possibly because ArcAir controller only has one button?
Yeah I don't get the option. I did try tapping the brake button on the controller thinking this might work, as you say only one button, but this did nothing. Tapping the race screen on the device does invoke a yellow flag and tapping again then counts down to resume. So I guess the answer would be to tap the screen.
It would be nice if there was an option to trigger from the brake button as I am rarely near the screen when I need a yellow flag... on the otherside of the room putting a car back on the track :)


Yes ARC AIR only has a brake button.. HOWEVER, the actual electronics are in there... there is a shapweays printable button you can get and drill a hole carefully and get it to "work" , whereby that only gets it to work in digital mode... I don#t think it can be sued for anything else...

Interesting. Not sure if the magic app would recognise it though as I guess that it would be in Arc Air mode?!
Do you have a link to the printable button?

cheers

Fraid not.. I was given them by someone at the SlotFest and I don't know where he got them... I just know they are 3D printed.
Doing a google I think I found them. But I don't see the point does it trigger something when using Arc Air or is it just so you can use the Arc Air controllers with Arc Pro?
