I know that simcyberworld is currently making a rain patch for mosport, although its taking a while (must be good then!). I would like to know if there is anybody else making rain patches for GPL?

Why would any sane person want rain in GPL? Don't we have enough trouble staying on the track already? :) Regards, Gordon D.Bryant <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8cddmj$jvo$[email hidden]... > I know that simcyberworld is currently making a rain patch for mosport, > although its taking a while (must be good then!).

Get ready for all those 14 minute Monza times to start pouring in.... Why would any sane person want rain in GPL? Good question.... this is all assuming sanity is a good thing of course... Gordon McLachlan wrote in message ...

Assuming the rain patch is actually accurate, and that it's an accurate sim, then the times and car behavior should be the same as what I've seen on video from the real drivers of that era.

The rain patch (or implementation of rain into a sim from the start for that matter) that I wanna see is one that isn't just on or off.... First 4 laps at Spa are nice and dry, then without warning, you come of Malmedy and run into a downpour that has you in the wet until just before LaSource, the storm slowly moves across, making only parts of the track wet, and eventually it stops raining... something like that

We have been running Rain races in the TPTCC patch for N99/2 for the past 3 years. When you first go out...it is a disaster. But once you find new braking points and keep your braking straight, it really almost gets comfortable. I would expect gpl to just be a step or two up the ladder of difficulty. The lads at TPTCC tried something that worked fairly well with the season ending race, the Bullrun 1000.(161 laps at bullrun with a teammate, no more that 51 laps before you save the race and email it to your partner.)[who repeats the process] Well in this last Bullrun, Jan and Sean came up with a utility that would change the weather, {daylight, dusk, night, or rain} and the track conditions. You had to save the race, run the weather util and then reload the race, but I'm betting that GPL's somewhat similar track folders would make this feature do-able for gpl as well. dave henrie check out www.tptcc.com Phil Lee wrote:

they keep repeating again and again how the last time the british gp was raced in april it snowed, did it? i don't know, but if that happens this year they'll not even leave the garages, not like in the days of old eh? :o) "Markus Stiepel" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8clnjo$1mi$[email hidden]...
