Hey Automobilista 2 is really great for simulation of endurance races, especially with this great weather engine! There is one point in simulated endurance races that bothers me. The dirt on the surface of the cars is not realistic. Point one: with accelerated time progression, there is no accelerated staining of the car surface You are simulating a 24 hour race in 1 hour, you raced through the night and cross the finish line, but your car is as clean as you started a few minutes before... yes, you did, but you wanted to simulate a 24 hour race! It would be great to scale the staining also with the time progression. Point two: dirt on the windows depending on the weather This is an aspect no car-simulation at all recreate the reality. Everybody who did a long trip on a highway in different weather knows it, in sunny dry weather you get different dirt on your windscreen than in rainy wet weather. On dry days you get more little spots from insects (racecars get black spots from rubber pick up) in rainy weather you get that "halo" and stripes from the wipers. It would be a cool immersion to have this effect. Bonus point: Pit crew removes staining on windscreen The absolute amazing point would be, if you left the pit stop, your windscreen is clean again, because the pit crew cleaned it while you stopped... maybe with animation! That would be awesome! What do you think, would that be possible?
100% this, racing is dirty, dusty and smelly, in sims its all too clean and pristine, other than i noticed how AMS2 has implemented the dirt dust pick up like at Daytona and it was really immersive. I do hope we can get more immersive features to help simulate how dirty the cars can get after a long stint.
