    Not sure what the release priority for this game is any more.
    Is it the core features of the game, or vehicles.
    Its been three years and core things like weather, working clutch still are not fully implemented, yet they are releasing R/C cars and other vehicles, while the core of the game still takes a back seat in release priority...
    I know ISI can pull off weather that will equal or be better than the F1 game series!
    Wish ISI had some kind of roadmap as to when this game to finally be in a true "gold" state, cause to me it still seems like a beta...

    I think the problem a lot of people are having with the rain is that they are doing what I did yesterday- if you set the rain for 100% humidity, you will get spray so thick it looks like clouds... but in any race, with rain that heavy they'd red flag the race.

    If you want to see the rain in its full glory, choose 95% Chance of rain, 30% humidity. If you join the session and it's not raining, just restart weekend until it is actually raining. The rain will be at a more realistic level. You will see perfect rooster tails, as the rain comes and goes you will see varying amounts of rain and varying amounts of spray and if the rain holds up long enough a drying line will appear. You'll get it all.

    I just did this with the 370Z at Heartland Park (the AI slows on the pit straight for some odd reason though) just to test the rain out. It was really cool and the grip level varied so much I had to constantly change my line and search for grip. The rain spray forced me to not follow too close and to run off line a lot to see anything. When the line dried, I had to run on the wet part of the track ont he straights to control tire temperature. In short: awesome.

    So don't over-do it with the rain. Less is more and you will appreciate this update!

    I really don't see the problem with that video. The crash looked pretty good to me until the cars started flying but at that point who cares- you were out of the race anyway. So why does it matter that the cars started to fly around a little after you are already crashed out? The bug didn't affect your race. that was just bad luck

    IMHO the rain will only get better its in WIP.
    don't understand why we get spray but no wipers in tin tops?
    and did any1 get fps loss?

    Wipers won't change a thing since there are no rain particles on windshield anyway :)

    It will all come in it's time I guess..

    Not sure because I had to turn HDR on, otherwise I had washed colours.

    But based on my previous rain tests: spray doesn't seem to have effect on fps (or very small impact) but the rain itself reduces fps (not much). Rain+ reflections= some more fps loss

    It doesn't look good, yes, but is that the way you are usually spending your time in rf2 :p

    It only matters how it works when in action, while driving.

    Your video only tells that spray effect in slow speeds isn't that good.

    You still can see other cars and the track around you :p

    Did not say that you do not have good points but it's pointless to go on and on about the same things at this point. They are not going to change anything in a day. I'm sure they have noted your concern. Just relax and try to enjoy the things that work.

    Tried the new Build today! I dont like at all the spray effect:(, it is unrealistic and I can't see anything even 30m behind the car in front!

    Here is an Article where they talk about racing int he rain. It says that they could make the tires work even better, but the problem is, that there is so much water in the air, that the drivers don't even see the car in front of them.

    "Aber man wäre trotzdem kein Rennen gefahren, weil so viel Wasser in der Luft stand, dass man nichts hätte sehen können. Es wird ein Sichtproblem. Schon jetzt sind die Fahrer im Regen nicht in der Lage, das Auto vor ihnen zu sehen."

    and...
    "Sie schauen an den Streckenrand und suchen nach Markierungen, um ihren Bremsvorgang einzuleiten. Wenn etwas mit dem Auto vor ihnen passiert, dann werden sie es treffen. Sie haben keine Möglichkeit, auszuweichen", erklärt Hembery

    it says that the F1 drivers look at the side of the track to find a reference for turning and braking.
