My opinions on the rain weather are starting to change now that I drove over 100km under it with the new cars of the update, but I already noticed a couple of issues with it that needs addressing, if PD cares enough about them:
-There's no dry racing lines that forms up during the duration of the race, I suppose this is because the weather is static;
-There's many open top cars that don't put their tops up before the racing, not exactly a problem until then, but you race and realise that the rain drops are not hitting the interior of the cars, this is quite a noticeable oversight;
-Moreover, in some cars there are no rain droplets in the windshield, the Chaparral 2X is one of these cars with this issue;
-Apparently the puddles in the track are just for show, I haven't noticed any grip reduction when driving over them...Well atleast there's no puddles in hills like a certain other "racing sim"...
-The amount of rain in the track is specifically tied to the time of day you choose to race, so if you want to race at 4:45am under heavy rain, it won't be possible...You can thank the pre-baked lighting system for that, it looks incredibly realistic but it has its price;
-There's no indication at all that the weather you race is of "heavy" rain or "light" rain, I had to figure out on my own that the weather at 10:45 is "heavy", which calls of the rain racing tires, instead of the intermediate tires.
Minor nitpicks:
-The rear window wiper is not used, even on coupes that could do with having them activated, like the GTO;
-The windshield wiper still can't be toggled on or off if you're playing on a DS4, it's turned on by default;
-The wiper speeds are not dynamic, they don't increase when you're driving under heavy water spray, neither they don't intermittently turn on when you pull over...We had that in GT5 even with predefined static weather.
With all of this being said, I'm warming up to this new addition to the game, it's free after all, even though there's room for improvements.
I still want my Interlagos soaked with rain though, that has to happen.
