Do you know what this game needs?....more tire spray in the rain!

Oh the lighting, the reflections, the shading, the shadows...have so much improved over the years. So have the choices in racing games. Only in the F1 series do you get a full array of pit crew, garage, installation lap, and even the podium celebrations. Meanwhile, this game has been slowly going away form tire spray during rain periods. 2010 to 2013 were nearly half of what would exist in a real rain race. There were mods to increase tire spray from the wet track. Then by 2017 or so, there were none. There are none now, to increase tire spray and lessen forward visibility. It is a factual occurence in wet/rain races. Don't go away from it. 

As it stands in f1 2024, even in full wet conditions, I can clearly see the 5 to 6 cars ahead through what is now considered full tire spray. Can we get more? Can we have the option to have more tire spray. I understand that it is graphical detail that may reduce performance in some PC machines. But, for those of us who have invested in capable machines, can we have a choice to have more tire spray? It is only realistic.

Thanks, and let me know what you think about tire spray.

    100% agree! I don’t understand how this very studio were able to create far better rain/spray effects 2 console generations ago, and yet for all the power or new consoles, we don’t have any spray at all!! 
    F1 2012 even introduced dynamic live track weather where rain would come in from various directions and make one part of the track wetter than others. We had puddles/wet/dry lines. A longer transition between weather states. 
    Now we have barely any transition. It’s almost like a switch between wet and dry in an instant. 
    The spray is non existent. We don’t have any drying lines form. 
    How did this aspect of the game go so far backwards? It was perfect over 12 years ago!

    they need to sort this sooner rather than later, im sick of ea, how many of these games have they made ? and still they have to fix the things that were never broken. the attitude seems to be its not broken so lets break it !

    really tired of it , every damm year they release a game that we all know wont work properly out of the box, franchise needs to go elsewhere, to a company that actually cares about the people who have lined thier wallets for so many years.  since 2010 ive been playing these games, and im tired of it bieng constantly broken on release.
