    Hi there!
    don't know if I just run into a strange "bug" but...Racing with F1 Classic Gen 4 at Donington...did a 10 laps just for fun so I set the 4 weather slots in this order:

    1. light rain
    2. storm
    3 thunder storm
    4 heavy cloud

    And just to see how track and grip change during the race, I've set weather at 50x speed...

    So the race started and we (me and AI) were all on soft...grip was fine (I think a bit too much...) and by the end of lap 1 (coz of the weather at 50x) the storm was there...AI pitted immediatly before even the first lap was completed...so I decided to stay out...

    Well with Storm and thunder storm, I've been able to stay out with no problems, there was a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE amount of grip with slick tires...I quit the game and started the race again several times, even changing weather slot but the result was the same: just a few of grip or tracion in two laps, while I assume the track should have been flooded.

    Again, don't know if it's a bug because few days ago I was doing FP and used 2 weather slots like rain and heavy rain and i definitely could feel and see the difference in grip, struggling a lot to stay on track. Maybe I had to wait 3 or 4 laps to get the track really flooded, but in any case I think there's too much grip with slick tyres in these conditions, especially in medium or high speed corners.

    What did you have the time acceleration set to?
    The live track condition is now controlled by time progression not by weather speed.

    Like Odd Socks wrote, live track condition is now controlled by time progression not by weather speed.
    Therefore, it's much more interesting to know the track state when the slicks feel too grippy.
    (dry => moist => damp => wet => soaked)
    When track state is Moist or Damp, slicks should still work fine but will be slightly slower, easiest to notice in how the braking distance is slightly longer than in Dry state.

    That said, I agree that it makes sense that Storm or Thunderstorm should at least get the track state to Wet even if those weather slots only last for a short while.

    There could still be an issue that needs to be fixed for certain tire compounds on certain cars, so the more info that can be provided, the better.
