F12002 spray when dry?

Is anyone else getting what looks like water spray from the tires on your own car, but especially the AI, when it is not wet!?!?!? Graphics and all options turned up to max.

Are you seeing this all the time or AFTER a session where there was rain? If the latter, it's an example of the video cache F1 2002 uses I would think. Try exiting the sim and then reloading...if it's STILL there , then try a reboot. :) dave henrie

Yes. I can often see that spray. It fooled me into thinking that mi brakes where blocking the wheels. Marc Collins wrote:

Yesterday night I ´ve seen it in a friend´s pc. Conditions were dry. And we could also see it in the AI cars. I can confirm that it´s water since grip were considerably reduced. And the sky was 100% clean!

Ahhh - I think they have screwed up their weather a bit. You only seem to be able to see rain if it is a monsoon and it is really hard to tell by looking at the track if it is wet or not. You can tell by feel though. It's like they left out a reflection effect or something on the wet part of the tracks. I haven't tried out GP4 yet but one area were GP3 absolutely rocked was the wet weather visual effects from the clearly visible dry line to all the other effects. --- Bill

I believe when you look at the track screen and anything above 20c there is moisture in the air/track, even when it appears dry.

Yep. Although I don't *think* its water. > Maybe it's actually dust and/or dirt? Yeah thats what I was thinking, I only seem get it during practice days which makes sense because this is when the tracks are usually 'green'. That is they haven't been used for a while therefore there is plenty of dust and dirty on them reducing the available grip. Nice feature I thought. Kieran.

Yes that is exactly what is happening here. I wonder how we can fix it and why it only happens on certain machines? Marc "J. Cancillo" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... Bill Ryder wrote:
