There is no rain in GPL?
It's really a excellent game (congratulations to Papyrus!) but I would like
to see lot's of rain in Spa or fog and rain in "The Ring" .

let's hope it's on Papy's todo list for the update/bugfix/whatever !!
hopefully they include rain tires too *bg*

It won't. They want to model rain properly as they have done
everything else so as soon as Intel get goin' with the 1ghz stuff
you'll have to wait.
*rofl* .... never thought about the artificial intelligence of rain
drops?
do they really try to avoid hitting the car?
how many rain drops are needed to model rainy weather?

hmm.
last i checked, the tires on the front end of my Lotus were treaded...
and while rain would definitely be a sight to behold in the sim, driving
anywhere within proximity of ice^H^H^Hgrass sends you into spirals when doing
anything over 25 miles per hour.
i'd hate to see how rain slipping was modeled. something tells me you'e
never make it past the starting line. ;)
-jch
they didnt' do rain because they wanted to do it right. just like the car
physics and ai are several notches above anything else, imo. rather than
simply add some graphics and reduce the traction their thoughts are to have
rain vary around the track, vary throughout the race, collect in low areas,
run off banked sections, create accurate spray from the car in front of
you, etc. etc. etc. I am glad they chose to wait. can you imagine
slipstreeaming down the front straight at kylami and trying to outbrake
someone only to find a huge puddle in the first turn. oh yeah, more cpu
power.
...and a paramedic patch. There's no *way* I'm going to be able to drive
in the wet!
