    Ahh so I'm sorry. I was sure I've seen it. There is no info indeed in this file. So it must be written somewhere on forum that raindrops, visor effects etc are disabled in current version of open beta

    I wish they heard me before. I'm really not into the rain drops, why modelising something you dont see in real. It can be turned off but i hope it doesnt pull out some stuff i want to see.

    I mean you can only see rain drops at some particular angles.

    You see rain with your eyes to no? Anyway, i remember a rain on the windscreen video last year from ISI, i dont have any of that here. I have some water on the tracks (the reflection suggest it). But thats it.

    shum94: I'd rather go with my eyes than camera footage on this one, when the water drops are big enough I can definitely see them with my bare eyes most of the time.

    Then there 3 different things there.

    TV Cam = No visible rain drops in real except specific angles
    Open Wheel car cockpit view = What we got right now might satisfy you, but in final i'd like different shades of rain and variable (Forrest Gump)
    Closed Wheel car cockpit view = Not much to say since drops on windshield are not activated.


    This subject is very important to me, i will be annoying about it.

    Look the most urgent question is how can we possibly have wet T-shirts if we don't have rain drops?
    Like you know o.o
    Has anyone really given any serious thought to this issue?
    and.. the rain in the tunnel @ Monaco lol

    You'll be wanting to take advantage of the setting to turn them off, I assume, when they are actually active, which they are not yet.

    There are 2 issues that I noticed with the rain.


    When it starts raining, you can't see any rain in the air and the track suddenly turns blue. The road doesn't turn blue in real life when rain starts to fall, it gets darker and more reflective.

    It rains in the tunnel at Monaco!


    EDIT: Since posting this I found out that rain is still very much beta. Hopefully these issues will be addressed.
