    Unless Ive missed something we can script the weather for pract, qually, and race but not for warmup. But whats really weird (and problematic) is that the warmup sessions appear to be a "mini" version of the race session weather script. This is problematic because if you have the weather for the race set to rain say at the 50% mark, and your doing standing starts after the warmup session changes to race your starting off with a damp track.

    Why on earth would ISI give us the ability to script weather for pract, qually, and race but not warmup? Or at least default warmup to dry instead of a mini version of the entire race?

    I think warmup should just use the first section of race weather

    That would work as well. But why not just give us control over warmup the same as pract, qually, and race? Or at least a dumbed down version of it?

    Since beggining this is an issue. Also dont understand why continues without being solved.
    We´ve workaround this problem removing warmup in all online races and changing the "go to track time" from 30sec to 90sec so people can change setup after Q. We´ve had too much problems with it.
    Every race with rain only in the end (example) would start with wet surface. Why? Cause warmup takes race weather settings. In 3 hour races with 10 minutes of warmup you would see rain and since RR is set as progressive the start of race allways was with sun but with wet surface pushing drivers to stop at the end of lap 1 and sometimes it was caos with people starting on dry tires on a wet track.

    I believe this can be something of simple resolution.

    +1 on "solve this please"
