    This statement is even backed up by at least one IRL pro driver (who likes AMS2, so no, its not hate talk).

    I hated these puddles, though. Absolutely love racing in variable conditions, but AI ignored them - no traction loss etc.
    Wet / dry line works quite nicely for me.

    I made a post more than year ago that puddles in the game do not work at all / have been removed ? And it has never been fixed.
    Reddit - The heart of the internet

    I only ever race online so to me it means nothing what the AI does or does not do. On that note though the AI should have loss of traction implemented instead of completely removing puddles from the whole game that also affects racing online ? Just a suggestion.

    It's strange that my post was moved here. I was actually referring more to VR performance, and the fact that rain and night driving are negligible.
    Regardless of the simulation, aquaplaning and its effects require absolutely brilliant tire physics in dry conditions. None of the models in any simulation even come close to achieving this, in my opinion.
    It's more about eye candy and fan service to offer options for buying the respective simulation. Reiza isn't doing anything wrong here. It's practically impossible to implement this in real-time for home computers, just like so many other things in sim racing.
    There's more hype than substance behind it.
