Let's talk about the rain 1.6

For me there's two issues

• Way too much grip in light rain. I just finished a 25 minute LFM race in light rain and the grip with slicks was as good as in the dry, I was only like 0.5 off my pb on a soaked visually very wet looking track
• No puddles! Used to be the coolest part of driving in the rain, was figuring out the best line as puddles get worse and being very careful when going through them to minimise aqua-planing. This great aspect of gameplay is now totally gone

I really hope Reiza know about this, AMS2 used to have my favourite rain implementation, which is now ruined. There's no need to reinvent the wheel, please just bring back 1.5 rain Reiza!

 

My comments still apply to the latest update. Haven't seen any puddles and the race I mentioned with dry grip in light rain was also post update.

 

Check my video posted in the first page, personally like I said I'd still like to see some more standing water but most modern tracks wont see that much puddle formation irl.
Completely agree with the slick tyre on a dry track, although with the light rain scenario there's also an element of the visuals not accurately showing how wet the track is, on a light rain scenario there's 0 spray comming from the back of the car, so it really isn't that wet.

 

Puddles only form during a Thunderstorm. Even if it rains for 24 hours straight, they won’t appear under normal rain conditions. I think this is quite inaccurate, but that’s how rain works in AMS2 because it’s based on 1-hour slots rather than a dynamic system.

 

Which Circuit?

 

All

 

Have you driven all tracks and layouts? Seems odd that not one would have had puddles

 

I’ve driven on several tracks, and they all behave the same way.

 

i Dont report it in the bugreporting because is not a bug, it just like AMS2 work.
I’d like to ask Renato about the future plans for rain behavior. Do they intend to improve it at some point? Will they make wet curbs more realistic, add more dynamic elements, etc.?
