Dynamic Weather Discussion

I don't know if it's been discussed already. Sorry.
A few days ago I had a great experience in MP at Monza, a 30-minute race started in full sun with a storm arrived at mid-race. I managed to pass many guys because it started raining when I was at Ascari, I could put on the rain tyre before hell came.
It was fantastic. Also driving in the extreme wet.
The only negative thing was the transition from sunny to cloudy, the transition was not smooth, just as if the light had been turned off step by step. I don't know if it was because of the time multiplier. All I know is that that server has a great value of weather variability.

 

Well,we could use an offset for the temps,as it is already done in other game,the main issue is the constant raining in most of the tracks at winter.

But still,if it can be done with a simple plug in,i dont see whats the big issue for you to implement.

Meanwhile in monza this weekend are expected 9°C

 

I only can put my dinamic weather temperature dial setting in 10º or more

 

CC @Aristotelis I guess

Qualifying

Race

 

2 cars have slicks and struggling. Bentley and lambo

track looks dry!
wets 2;01 slicks 2;05


8 sided die

 

1;58 just done on slicks fastest lap!

 

I believe in the game when the track is way wetter, there still is no need to put on wet tyres as the slicks have too much grip. Whereas all the real life drivers are on wets once its raining.
Even cold under pressured slicks give too much grip on heavily wet tracks in ACC.

 

This race really makes me wish we had dynamic racing line. When the track was wet everyone stayed to the inside both on entry as well as on exit of the first chicane, then as the track was drying they were slowly creeping more and more to the outside of the chicane. If we had that in game it would be awesome.

 

I think is almost perfect in ACC!
Note, in Monza today is sub 10deg, and some use try tires, we in game always +20deg (most of the time), so much hotter conditions. Maybe just some small adjustments are needed, and these will Aris collect in this weekend.

I`m sure it will happen in 1 year time.

 

One question, i maybe missed the answer on forum, will fog be part of the weather? Or Blancplain aren't driven while fog is up?

 

someone asked aris a similar question few pages back. Think his reply was "first things first". or something to that degree.

 

Sure, that's true. if it comes, cool. They have a lot to work on until release.

 

For possible future DLC's you may need to expand. Here is VLN yesterday.


Also I am fairly sure a few years ago Bathurst 12hr had 40c ambient and 60c+ track temps.

They actually had less trouble at hot Bathurst then cold Nordschleife as in the snow safety car probably led most laps.

It also can snow at Bathurst but never when they race there, the 12hr is in summer and 40c+ is not that unexpected same as very cold at temps at Nurburgring or Spa any time of the year.

 

Lol

 

Wasn't it red flagged ?

 

@Minolin
Do we have any chance to get dynamic (depending from actual racing lines) dry lines and dynamic rubbering lines in release version?

 

I wouldn't imagine so otherwise it would be there from the start and I imagine a ton load of new coding.

It's no biggie for me as long as it fundamentally works. As most times the lines are the same anyway, even in rf2 I don't notice that much variation in lines.

 

I'm okay with predefined dry and rubber lines. Placement of those lines need a bit of a improvement in some corners but i have no problem with them not being completely dynamic.
