    You can't because you need a payment key when you raise an amount of daily callings to the weather server.
    The program is configured to not exceed the amount of free callings

    I think that you can't change the time (increase or decrease)
    But why to change it? I think that there is no reason.
    If there is no weather change between the callings the plugin does nothing and appear a label in the program similar to "No changes applied" (i don't remember esactly)

    I hope this guide will help, as for the translation if it is not correct ... the fault lies with the boys of "Simon says" :D
    Many thanks to @lagg for his great help

    First. Install plugin & configure the server
    - Copy rf2WeatherPlugin.dll to ...\rFactor 2\Bin64\Plugins\
    - Copy rF2GeoData.xml to c:\Users\User\AppData(hidden folder)\Roaming\rF2WeatherPlugin\
    - Copy rf2WeatherClient.exe and Ionic.Zlib.dll ...\rFactor 2\Weather client\ (in my case) for example
    - launch dedicated server...close
    - open "player" folder (dedicated server)
    - open "CustomPluginVariable.JSON" file, lines should appear:
    "rf2WeatherPlugin.dll":{
    " Enabled":1,
    "UID":0
    },

    If the section does not exist, you are missing the runtimes of the rf2WeatherPlugin.dll,
    which if I am not mistaken are the vc 140 redistributable - Visual C ++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015
    If Enabled = 0 appears, change it to 1
    The UID is the identifier of the rF2 server. Each server must have a different number,
    so that the program knows to which rF2 server it should send the data.
    To the first server you put UID = 0, to the second UID = 1 ...
    Second. now set up the program
    1. Select "Store settings to XML"
    2. Server: It is the IP of the pc where you have the rF2 server.
    If it is on the same pc as the exe you leave the point.
    3. UID: the same as in the "CustomPluginVariables.JSON"
    4. Connect button for manual method
    5. Select "Auto-connect" (recommended)
    6. Select "live"
    7. API: OpenWeatherMap
    8. Log: disabled (optional)
    9. API KEY: put your personal & untransferable API KEY
    10. Store: to save the KEY API in the xml file and you don't have to write every time the program starts
    11. Lat & Lon: Latitude and longitude (Better the position of the station closest to the circuit)
    12. AutoSet: Disabled
    13. Rain mod: 100% (?)
    14. Rain Limit: 30% (To limit the amount of rain)
    15. Toff: 0% (?)
    16. dTime: 3 (better)

    Example to find out the coordinates of Canadian Tire Motorsport:
    - We look for the location of the circuit: Bowmanville
    [​IMG]
    - We get the location of the stations
    [​IMG]
    - We copy the coordinates and search them on google maps
    - we locate the circuit, in this case we see that it is north of the selected station.
    [​IMG]
    If we want to obtain more precise data, we look for a station that is closer. In the example Manvers and Tyrone are closer.
    [​IMG]
    Select one of them, Tyrone and those are the coordinates that I will use
    [​IMG]
    We have everything ready, now we start the server and everything should work

    This plugin can't change the track temp, because this is not implemented in the system that conects rF2 with it.
    No plugin can change the track temperature.

    This is really strange
    Do you have 29º in all sessions?
    Are you sure that you are looking the correct session?

    Did you have the temps before to 45º?
    I think that if you change the parameters in rF2, those aren't applied until the session changes
