Weather change option - Every race in the rain

Recommended Posts

sorry it’s beyond a joke now there NEEDS to be a weather change option because 4 out of 5 career races I do are in the wet it’s laughable. Doing everyyyyy singleeee race in constant rain is SO boring and long and kills the fun in the game I’m getting extremely bored now there’s no thrill in racing when every time you go on the track your crawling at snails pace through rain it’s so tedious and unrealistic.

I'd also like to be able to turn off the weather simulation in career mode - or at least make adjustments to it.  Always seems to rain towards the end of a race, yet the AI cars are still blatting around on slicks like the track is bone dry.

I think there should be a slider, like the one for difficulty, which lets you pick how many wet sessions you want per season.

I personally think 4 or 5 is fairly realistic...and that's sessions, not whole weekends.

Yeah, definitely it wouldn't hurt. I would do it for weekends though. You select how many wet weekends you want to possibly have with a slider that goes like this:

none > 1 to 5 > 5 to 10 > 10 to 15 > 15 to 20 > all

Then, for every weekend, the weather is calculated as it is now (so you can have a weekend that's almost dry but has rain towards the end of FP2 and it will count as a wet weekend, or a weekend with rain in each and every session and again it would count as a wet weekend) but you're sure that the number of wet weekends will stay in the range you defined.
Of course, another thing to take into account is different places have different weather: I'd be OK if there were a full weekend under the monsoon in Silverstone and a completely dry weekend in Abu Dhabi, but I wouldn't really be happy if things were done vice versa.

I like that idea, as it should also take local conditions and time of year into account.

I'd happily settle for "on" and "off" lol                                      
But that means no wet weather in an entire season, as the alternative would probably just have us back where the OP started. 

Surely you don't object to the rare wet race?

Having a few wet sessions/weekends spread across an entire season is fine, no?

It adds an unpredictable element. 

Which I am okay with, and I reckon a lot are too...they just don't want ridiculous and unrealistic situations like  6 wet races in a row..
