Would it be possible to calculate track temp in a plugin?

    Hi All,

    I'd like to know if it would be possible to read data like air temp or amount of clouds and make a simple calculation so that track temp is not the same as air temp. I guess it's not possible, otherwise someone would have done it already.

    You just can't set track temp, so any thought of using other things becomes moot.

    Well, I was expecting something like that. Thanks for confirming, anyway :)

    You could try to set the track temperature by changing the ambient temperature (which should be possible using the WeatherControlInfoV01 struct) - but this could cause weird behavior depending on where the ambient temperature is being used in the sim (e.g. engine cooling, tire cooling, etc.)

    Would be interesting to get some inside information whether Studio397 is working on simulating track temperatures like one other sim is...
