Rain is back

I see, very exciting. Also try the Java 8 today to see how it runs.

Edit: Java worked really smooth for me even on high quality rendering. Weather was a very welcome return.

awesome that will add some cool components to a race

Great, have you fixed the fact full wets are always better than Intermediates? (Ooopps let the cat out the bag there).

Great. Change made few hours before the race AND I can't access the race (2 out of last 3 races).
Qualifying made with slicks and after few minutes my drivers are already lapped. Thanks.

I'm not mad, Jack, it's just a game, I didn't wanted to sound rude. Just some sarcasm XD

I noticed that my Development is XP: 625, Next level: 625, Remainder: 0, and I'm on level 4 and not 5. Not a problem, it's minor and just a game, didn't bother notice it.

But for such critical changes, please, don't announce it and apply it with such short notice. To me you should give AT LEAST 8 hours. Especially when Java compatibility is still under review. I'd announce that rain would have been available for the race after this one, Bahrein, to leave plenty of time for everyone to react accordingly.

Cheers

Angelo it never rains in Bahrain, and some other leagues have different time schedules. So matter how he introduced it to the game somebody is going to have their toes stepped on.

Ok, I've replied again because I didn't wanted to be sound harsh, sorry guys.
In my opinion such changes shouldn't be announced and introduced for the immediate next race, simple as that. Major reason the fact that races have different time schedules ;p


But just my opinion on how I would have handled it, just a little suggestion for future similar changes, take it as you will.
I am more than happy that there is rain and weather, by the way. Thanks (not ironic!).

im so excited thx jack

I really like it that the rain is back - but:
what I really miss is that we are able to save separate setups for rain and dry conditions.
Or even better: that we can name the saved setups, so it would be easier to do different setups for hot/cold/rain/...

Is rain back in all leagues?

It was supposed ot be bucketing down in belgium but the live race had no rain enabled (assume this because we all ran on normal tyres onstead of wet ones)

League was Rookie in Aussie F1

Cheers

I suppose it's possible that the race occurred between rain squalls. I'll keep a closer eye on the weather tonight. It's supposed to be cloudy, so hopefully it will rain. I'll update here when I get a definite answer on it.

Cheers

EDIT: Just checked weather and forecast for Italian GP is 40% chance of rain so a fair chance of finding out.

@jack Are you still using http://www.wunderground.com/? If there is a delay then isnt it possible to just have up the undergroundweather site whilst racing and adjust your strategy according to that, this would give you advantage over everyone not doing this? 

That is what the weather station is for....

Well, rain is definately working. It was bucketing down in Japan last night all race. Lots of cars ducking into the pits to get off Intermediates. Full wets were the only tyre choice for the race.

We're all glad that rain is now on and adding an extra texture to this great game. Looking forward to more gameplay updates.
