is anyone having issues with weather settings?

i set up to get overcast weather (isi silverstone for this example) and it blatantly ignores these choices and comes out sunny!

Make sure your settings are to practice/qualify or race. Many times i was changing weather for race and when i start practicing none of my changes show up.

Just got done playing a couple hours with the new build and I have to say the overall colors of the environment look a lot better now. Things are looking more natural. Nice job ISI keep it up.

Yes it does, with a little bit to much green from the lightning source, otherwise fine.
 
1. Account problem solved!

2. Build 300 results in an important graphic optimization (FPS increased from around 90 to 120+)!


Thanks a lot ISI! :cool:

Yes i have set specific weather for sessions, but it still just overrides with sunny.

I tested at croft also, where on loading a sunny session, I hit restart weekend and the rain I'd scheduled appeared. I can't replicate this work around on Silverstone though

Had this on Nords. Set various overcast and even stormy with 10% chance of rain and just get sunshine

EDIT: Fired it up today and all appears to be normal again. Possibly random or one off event.

I've had it rain, have overcast skies, but cast strong shadows and be bright, like sunny lighting on rain. Is that how you'd describe what you saw?
 
When will the weather controls system receive some serious work and function properly? The effects are terrific and lovely to experience, but the control system lets it all down due to the frustration.

Also, I'll reiterate my plug that tracks should have a "database" of typical weather (temps, humidity and rain % and volume) that can be programmed in by season so that some day we will have an option to just pick a season and hit a button for "randomized typical" weather for that track. If we're going to have night racing, then day vs. night settings will also be required.

Maybe I am picky, but I hate seeing the same weather at every track, when they are in reality located in places with completely different weather patterns (e.g., England vs. Sicily). It really only bothers me when the weather shows-up as something that only occurs there one day in 10 years (like blazing hot and dry at Silverstone or persistent rain in the desert).

It would be great to have realtime weather in every track. Don't know if it can be done via plugin right now.

That would be another good option. However, lots of tracks are seasonal, so unless we don't want to use them all winter, we also need to be able to "pick a season."

Yes I've encounter this issue too, the weather I've chosen in UI was not the same in game. For instance, I selected rainy weather and I got sun at Snetterton.
I also selected sunny weather and started with wet track with sun and blue sky at Poznam.

I really wish that would have been an ingame feature.... running the weather in realtime with the exact location!!

I'm guessing here, but I imagine this might require ISI to pay a license fee to whatever organisation provides the weather data. However, they should make every effort to facilitate a plugin that would allow RF2 to pull in the data easily.

Not sure.... weather data is freely accessibile for everyone anyway... so why would they need a licence to use it?

It might fall under 'commercial use', whereas you and I have free access to the data as regular consumers, and ISI would be selling a product using that data, etc. I am just guessing, but I mean there may be reasons like this that prohibit ISI from doing it themselves due to costs or legal issues.
