Why don't you turn off realistic weather? Somewhere in the race-options you can deselect realistic weather and change possibility of rain between 0% and 100%. This should do it!

While sat in the pits, the option on the wheel that is '>>' means accelerated time. Choose that and sit and wait for the rain to stop, then blast one in the dry for pole. Alternatively, select custom weather and make all the races dry. Kev Richard S Beckett wrote:

Maybe I'm imagining it, but it seems to be related to the location. Spa gets rain by the buckets, but I get rain about 1 in 10 at Hungary. I think it's quite good. Stephen <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Hey c'mon, it's the only real addition that gp3 has over gp2, so it's understandable the crew wanted to show it off as much as possible. ;-) Cheers, Uwe -- Uwe Schuerkamp http://www.schuerkamp.de/ GnuPG Fingerprint: 2093 20B8 B861 9358 A356 B01A E145 9249 5D27 33EA PGP Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61
