    Thanks, hopefully at some point we can have some easy way to manually fix real weather for some historic dates in the ams2 build, right now we don't. Anyways next time when reporting innacuracies, please always link a source that confirms the actual start time of the session and a source that confirms the real life weather for the whole session.

    Also don't be mislead by the word "moist". When using real weather it usually means the track is fully dry but there may be a reminiscent of a puddle somewhere on the track (usually out of racing line), or the grass is wet, due to weather from previous hours, which seem to be accurate for some of the events you mentioned.

    Actually race start was 28th march 13 PM, which also produces wrong weather by the way.

    Actually race start was 15 PM which produces dry track (not moist).

    Actually race start was 15 PM which produces moist track (fully dry with minor puddles out of racing line, which seem accurate), and not damp.

    Not sure the real race start time but actually it looks a bit foggy in the youtube video in the first part of the real race and not foggy in the second part, but ams2 has just 2 levels of foggyness right now so the first level is already too much fog. Hopefully in the future we can implement continuous levels of fog and independant to cloud levels or weather slots.

    Outside the normal time range but any chance of getting the correct weather for the 1966 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa 1000km?

    12 June 1966 race start 3.30pm local time. Half the track including Stavelot and Burnenville Malmedy is very wet and raining, the other half including the start is dry. The rain spreads to the whole circuit by about 4pm and stops about 5pm. Rest of the weekend dry.

    The colour onboard footage from the first lap was used in the MGM film Grand Prix and is considered legendary in many countries. If you can do this it will get attention for your sim and its weather model from content creators.

    Hi all
    I've just started playing AMS2.
    Is real weather currently working?
    If I choose real weather with a start time of 3pm will it give me the weather based on the forecast at 3pm or the real weather at the time of playing ie 11am?

    Real live and forecast weather have a connection issue right now since a week ago that should be resolved soon.

    Real historic weather from weather dates before previous ams2 update date is currently working fine.

    If you choose real weather with a start time of 3pm it will give you the weather of that track location at 3pm (local time of that track location) at the date you have choosen for the session, and subsequently for each next hourly slot in the session.

    If the 3pm local time of the date you choose is in the future, it will pick forecast weather, otherwise it picks real historic weather that existed at that track location time/date there.

    Any chance of adding real historic weather from before 1980, at least for dates of Grands Prix?

    If done manually would be fine to just spam "light cloud" for every Grand Prix date, then manually change the ones where the historic weather played a role. You could even crowdsource the list of important ones.
