Thanks @ScarDuck14 however I’m not talking about not raining in a specific race. I’m talking about the fact that I have played 2 full seasons of 20+ races each and have not seen the rain yet neither during the races nor any of the free practices. Isn’t it weird?
@ScarDuck14 Thanks again for your reply. Ok…I’ll keep playing and see 🤓 if you guys tell me this is not a setting (like for instance the safety car that you can decide how frequently you want it in your races) then fine. Just wanted to make I’m not missing anything.
Bu the way, I hace races set up to last Arona 15-18 laps (depending on the circuit) but I bet that should not influence the likelihood of raining.
You’re correct, the race distance will not affect the likelihood of rain in your races.
As @ScarDuck14 says too, possibly the developers have reduced the likelihood of rain in new career modes because of the AI’s tendency to be over-powered in the wet conditions.
In my career mode which is quite old now I get rain quite often, so maybe it would only apply to recently started career modes.
@alexito00009If it rains during a race. It’s scripted. So if race starts out dry.. the rain is scripted to come at a certain point.
So let’s say you’re doing a 100% distance race. And rain is due to come 1 hour into the race. If you change the race distance to 25% you will finish the race inside 30 minutes Well before it’s due to race.
So longer the race more chance of rain.
changing the race distance does effect whether it rains. As I said in this game the rain had a tendency to come later
Technically, yes you’re correct. The longer the race is, the more time there is for rain to come in a race.
But proportionally, the percentage chance per each part of a race does not change based on the length.
@Radoko34You will find that it does
i play my team career only last 3 years I’ve put thousands off hours in. Not just that I have played the game every which way. Hundreds of careers short long full races you name a combination I’m willing to bet I’ve tried it at least once
Ok.
So you’re saying that (for example) if I do a 50% race then it is less likely to start wet than if I do a 100% race.
I understand what you mean.
What I’m trying to say is that proportionally, the percentage chance at any given moment during a race does not increase when increasing the race distance. They are not two directly proportional variables.
The rain is scripted. Which means before you even go to the race weekend. The game has already decided if and when it’s going to rain. The only way if can do that is by selecting a time when it will or won’t rain. As time is a constant and something we cant alter. Whereas Race distance we can change once we have entered the weekend.
@ScarDuck14 You’re absolutely correct.
