    Spray is great, lovely to see certain areas of the track create more spray than others with light rain, heavy rain and its BLINDNESS!...Love it!

    Obviously you should know the errors but just incase I found these already:
    - Spray in Cockpit (370z only car I've tried so far)
    - Graphical errors thoruh the spray when looking at cars (you see the tow bar? or some other small area and in some cases the windows show up)
    - Spray disappears instead of falling to the ground gradually



    Not got time myself now but in your PLR have a fiddle with these settings and see what happens:

    Vehicle Flow Radius="4.00000" // Vehicle sphere radius for smoke/flames/dust/spray
    Vehicle Flow Offset="3.10000" // Offset below vehicle where sphere center is located
    Engine Emitter Flow="0" // Whether engine smoke/flames flow over emitting vehicle
    Tire Emitter Flow="0" // Whether tire smoke/dust flow over emitting vehicle
    Smoke Flow="0" // Whether all smoke/flames/dust flow over non-emitting vehicles
    Raindrop Flow="0" // Add to enable: 1=flow over current 2=flow over other vehicles
    Rainspray Flow="0" // Add to enable: 1=flow over current 2=flow over other vehicles
    Spark Flow="0" // Add to enable: 1=flow over current 2=flow over other vehicles

    I tried it ages ago with Smoke Flow and it worked but very basic like, good in a crowd of cars but ugly when just one car in front, have a fiddle. I might get time to later if not next week!

    Thank you very much :)

    Can we now choose the new Clio or new Malaysia directly without vmods?

    Was running heavy rain with special effects on Low. I had massive FPS stuttering. I turned special effects on High, stuttering was gone but spray was flickering like crazy. Turned it to medium, all seems fine now. Very weird....

    common! its on camera u cant see but the driver see the track and car ahead (not like on video, cause look on video u cant see where the track goes just nothing - its not true, the driver see track and car ahead (cause the aerodynamics of the car - rain flow the car and not dropping in cockpit)

    Used the Auto-update feature, now when I launch either single or online, I get the small rf2 dialogue box (before it used to be full screen) and then a black screen with a small rf2 mouse pointer & nothing else.

    Anyone else experiencing this?

    I suggest you learn English and listen to what Button says :rolleyes: and then learn about Spray over car dynamics, and then look at more google images and youtube videos....

    It might be worthwhile looking at examples from when they actually used to race in the wet. Malaysia 2001 is a pretty good example of it in parts, until they gave up.

    Clearly you need a red flag.

    Look at 2:15 in this video. The camera at the front of the cockpit can't even see the driver of the same car clearly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89x7PPinriI

    Additionally, drivers seldom follow as closely as I bet most people will do in a racing sim in these conditions, and the spray tapers off accordingly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDQatnFUA3E

    Dude, the ACTUAL driver in the video is CONFIRMING that what you're seeing in the video is just about the same as what he's seeing on the track. I'm gonna have to put more faith in a guy who actually raced IN the rain to a guy (you) with a theory.
