Correct calculation of the track temperature with respect to ambient temperature. Especially when used a plugin to control the ambient temperature. In the plugin we do not have the ability to control the temperature of the track, and the same is always in 20 degrees.
I hope that the track Temperature will take effect on tyre Temperature someday. It is really boring actuell
Just a dumb question, cause I've never had the "time" to check this out. The track temp is currently ALWAYS the same 20°C? I mean, even if sunny or cloudy, day or night, 0°C or 50°C ambient? If it's true, I'm really sad now! Anyway, +1 for OP.
Well, when using API-plugins for manipulating the weather in RF2, the track stays at 20c at all times - very silly, when we can actually have REAL weather based on REAL weather stations around the world :/
this threads a bummer...ive been asking around if pCARS pulls real temperatures & no one ever answers...feel like ive found my answer -- in the worst way :'(
This if RF2 ? And tyres ARE affected by road temperature - but the track temperature is not updated correctly when using plugins to change the weather.
ok, so if i manually set temperature, it does work, but if i pull real weather for some reason that doesnt? what if take the pulled weather &...change a degree? then havent i manually set the temperature? just trying to understand this
Since you can only set the ambient temperature, the track temperature will simply be set to 20c. Now I can't say the same thing in any more ways
If you use sunny, cloudy or script, the track temperature will always be equal to ambient temperature. When using a plugin API to change the ambient temperature, the track temperature will always be 20 degrees. The rF2 does not calculate and track temperature and do not let the plugin control. What is the advantage of having the actual temperature of the weather station if the track temperature will always be the same?
Other things can wait imho. Track temp, humidity and wind shud be of the utmost priority and limited tires set per session and reusable old tires!
The heat loss to the track surface has been there a long time, much longer than the cpm has been out. More recently the same was added for a wet track. I can't say I've tested extreme temperatures to see that it actually has an effect, and there's still a question mark on how the track temperature itself works. No doubt this won't all tie in properly until they have a separate track temperature affected by sunlight and wind, and I'm sure by then the track temperature will have a proper effect if it doesn't now.
I testest from 0-60 degrees and checked the temp curves with Motec i2 pro, even the rubber and carcass temperature and not only the tyre surface temp and there were die no differences
