F1 2016 Automatic DRS deployment

[Booth.the.doberman]

Am I really that ugly, fat, old and used up? I wanted to test some key mappings tonight and I noticed that DRS was automatically deployed for me without me having to press the DRS button. It happened in Time Trial, Quick Race and Race Championship in the Sauber. I'm positive this wasn't happening last week, but I may just be showing I'm ready for assisted living.

Wait a minute! I see what's happening. Prior to the last patch, the green DRS light on the steering wheel would turn on after you pressed the DRS button if you were in the DRS zone. Now the light turns on when you enter the zone. It doesn't automatically deploy DRS; it just alerts you that you can use DRS. Crisis averted.

Yup!
