Yes, as I said also, I've seen it change from light rain to sunny.
But none of the AI cars went into the pits for a tire change (this was
in a 100% race). Nor did I see a drastic change in the road surface
when it was lightly drizzling that required changing to wet tires. In
fact, the fog and haze over the road surface was more of a detriment
to me since it hindered visibility and the psychological effect of
having rain come down can also contribute to feeling that the road is
more slippery. It would require heavy rain such as when the humidity
variable is 50% or more to have a road condition that required wets.
So all I was saying is that I haven't seen it change from dry to a
wet enough condition yet that required any cars to change tires. And
I suspect that the current version doesn't implement this. I haven't
seen anyone mention that they've seen this. Not that this lessens the
effect that the implemented variable weather has since visibility is
an important variable in the ability to race. I just want more :-)
