To everyone ever hosting a Nürburgring Nordschleife or Nürburgring 24h room please please PLEASE host it with change time / change weather!

It doesn't mean you have to have it pitch black and raining cats and dogs just don't select the regular versions of these tracks because they look like crap. The really dreary bland lighting and the fact that headlights are blaring on full all the time makes it look really crappy in replays.

Also the fact that you can't flash your lights takes one major mean of communication (and intimidation) away since often you can't really hear the horn.

The fact that you can set the time to your liking and weather to 0% and just stick with it makes me wonder why would you ever select the regular versions of these tracks? I see absolutely no reason for it.

Am I the only one who thinks the game looks twice as good with time change on?
 
Agreed. It may be just because of the lighting why it looks better, but better nevertheless. I've been kinda longing for more time and weather varieties in online matches.
 
I agree too. It just looks much better. Especially at sunrise and sunset. I always host my lobbies using that track.

👍 Always set the time to sunset on both Le mans and Nurburgring looks like a whole different gen of graphics when raced on with premium cars.

Just wished the nurburgring 4hr enduro was set during sunset or even better finished in the dark after starting at sunset.
I know i could do the 24hr races but that will take weeks to finish and i can't stand not being able to do anything else apart from that one race for that long.

But also use the **** weather feature.I cant believe that people have thousands of laps on Nurburgring and almost no one wants to race with a little bit of rain.
 
Good point raised 👍

The same also applies to Spa, as the lighting looks better there too.

Yeah! I always leave weather changeability to 1 so in the mids of a long session it might start raining and I'll never turn it off. If it starts raining it'll stop when it stops, and it'll take it's time for the track to dry but that's life.
 
You do realize that you can host your own room the way you want it don't you? That is a better solution than crying about people not setting up a room the way YOU want it.

:lol: 👍
 
one thing i dont like about the "time freeze" version is that cloud formation that looks like a head.....
 
I usually only turn time changing on, don't really like racing in the rain that much because of the grip factor.

Don't get me wrong, i love the rain etc in GT, but when i just want to do hot lapping its gonna slow down the pace too much.
