1.12 :D
dry at the start and damp at the last sector




look at Spa , the unique feature of this track is the weather changing at different locations of the track at the same time.

for the gp3 occasion , it was mild damp before the last sector then it was dry on the last sector then after the chicane there's aquaplaning everywhere , in GT5 terms this is at 100% although the 2.0 and 2.1 update did make it easy and its not there's no aquaplaning anymore but anyway

I hope there will be an update for this in the future :D

And I hope for Cote D'azur weather change :)


look f1 2010 codemaster : , they won because of drying line which was kinda pointless anyway because the arcade physics were the same everywhere.

Maybe gt5 can win an award for a realistic spa

What a stupid request, do we actually need this?
 
Have you ever seen F1 at Spa? The weather (as above) makes it one of the most exciting tracks of the season.

Can you even make a comment that doesn't vilify someone?

I think OP has a valid point. Spa is known for changing weather conditions on different parts of the track due to its location in the hilly Ardennes.
Oh and btw take a look at this lovely picture :)

That's not real life! lol That's a gorgeous aerial shot of Spa. It looks perfect/clean the way Nurburgring does in GT5, all green with no dead trees or grass.

I was looking for this quote specifically.

On what he'd like to be able to do in Gran Turismo that he can't do
now:
"There are many many things we'd still like to work on - that we can't get our heads around - but let's say in real life, you're driving and you hit a thunderstorm and suddenly it starts raining. And then it clears up. Sun is coming through the clouds. The car in front of you is creating a water screen and sun rays are hitting it. Not just the weather aspect, but the replication of that - you know, the waterscreen that the car in front of you creates, and the way it sparkles. Things like that."Read more: http://www.motortrend.com/auto_news...chi_gran_turismo_5/viewall.html#ixzz1ehYHjvjO

I think Kaz would think this is a great idea. It's an idea that can possibly be implemented into GT5 now.

Why is it a stupid request? It would actually be following the actual weather patterns of that particular zone. It's not in my wishlist but it would definitely be a great feature!
 
I'd love this, it would certainly make it more interesting when you pit if you have to think the first 3 miles are bone dry but then the track is flooded, slicks or inters? The same goes for the Nurburgring but it would involve an whole new weather system for different parts of the track that has never been done in any games I can remember.
 
Indeed, not a priority BUT would be very cool, so let the OP dream, can't he? Also I would love to run Spa on night.
On a side note if some of you have a PC get ready to experience full weather dynamics changes in rFactor2.
 
It reasonable. Dont know if they could make weather for any track or not at this point....And why the heck does high speed ring have weather & other real world'ers like Monaco, Nurburg GP/F, laguna seca & Fuji NOT have weather/time change?

All tracks should have time change/weather change... And there should be 25 more tracks in this game, 250 less cars.
 
I don't think any other track in the world does this , its only spa that's known to do this.

F1 2011 won an award because they have the drying line which is stupid anyway because the physics are the same everywhere.

You can't really confirm that, depends on the weather pattern moving into the area. I've seen NASCAR races many times before where it was raining on one side of the track, and not on the other.

But all tracks in the game need weather effects of some sort before PD needs to worry about it raining in different parts of just one circuit.

Well I haven't seen any other track do that in F1.

and if you saw 1 in nascar its unlikely it will happen again and in spa its always likely to have this.

You're proving to me how little you know about weather in general. Yes, Spa does that a lot because it's a large track. This same thing can happen at pretty much any large track.

And I said I've seen it happen on many NASCAR tracks, not just one. As a matter of fact, it happened last weekend. (rained in turns 3-4, not in 1-2)

which track and when , I just said where else in F1 have you seen this kind of weather? all f1 tracks are 3-7 km and im sorry this is unlikely elsewhere , its only in spa that its likely.

I agree that I'd rather first have weather on all track's first and then time change on all track's that are acceptable for night racing (if not 8am-8pm). Daytona Road Course should definitely already have time change. This would be very fun though and also pooling of water in area's with low point's.
 
It's quite obvious that the rain has to stop somewhere. It stands to reason that, by the law of averages, that border is going to lie across an area of interest (e.g. a racing circuit of some kind) at some point. It doesn't matter how large the track is, weather will always reach one part of it before another, because it moves and evolves. The larger the track, the longer the time difference, and the more likely "the weather" will bypass certain areas totally.

Yes, weather on all tracks first, then improve the way it develops, if possible.

Yes! Thank you. :p

Does it matter?

The point is that it can happen anywhere, depending on the storm system that happens to be rolling through there at an given time.

:crazy:

it does matter how many times and when it happened because you haven't even proven a single event that had this.

You are basing on storm system? there wouldn't be a race with a storm system. You are obviously basing your knowledge from news weather reports maybe nascar fans do but anyway

You can't relate weather forecasts to Spa because the weather within the track is always random within the 7 km and weather forecasts don't say its random within few km.

in F1 all tracks are longer , its unlikely to see this elsewhere and in spa it is likely.

Have you seen this in the nurburgring nord? nope.

How old are you, seriously?

Feel like I'm arguing with a child. :ouch:

Your knowledge of weather in general is pretty much nil at this point.
 
Bugs what he is saying is clouds do not aim at covering whole track's :). Spa has a higher probability as it is a long track and is also in a rather rainy area. If rain is coming down on a certain area of land it it doesn't depend on if there is a track in the area. Any track in the world can be affected in this way, with Nür's length I actually wonder how often it happens there.

At least im younger than you and I know I'm faster. I'm not like a middle aged man who even criticizes someone younger.
Obviously you base your knowledge on weather forecasts but weather forecasts don't say how the weather is within 7 km. thats just a bit too stupid to base on that because you don't know how spa is different from any other track.

Takes one to know another. 👍

ofc ofc you know everything about f1 tracks , obviously its quick to discover how old you are and has settled on gt5 and that is your other account but you don't have to do this because we already know your knowledge comes from news reports.
