Weather map is broken after latest update

[cyder2]

i was playing SPA 1 hour, and Leman 30min
i notice it was raining but weather map showing clear sky! in both races
somebody notice this bug after latest update?

 

[Islaygaz]

Yea it’s been pretty well documented over in the bugs thread!

 

[Boxster]

In Spa yes, but not at Le Mans afaik

 

[Arnie777]

Same at the tsukuba one hour mission sadly. Sucks bigtime

 

[cyder2]

In Spa yes, but not at Le Mans afaik

today i play weather work fine
but yesterday it was broken!

Con confirm its broken when you see it at 1km distance (or lower). It somestimes either doesn't work, or shows pixelated blue shapes.

Meh, it’s like a weatherperson IRL, they don’t have any damn clue! Except when its miserable, they always seem to get miserable right…

Who are you and what have you done to GrimmJack??

I think my favorite part of this new broken iteration is how the weather moves opposite the wind direction…

That has always been the case ....

Wind direction and speed at ground level isnt necessarily the same as in different heights.

Correct, but 99 times out of 100 this is the way weather works.

Also, nowhere in the game does it imply where the wind-speed is being measured from, but since we don’t seem to be affected by the wind in our cars, it’s intended as an indicator of what the weather is doing specifically.

Also too fast, rain is coming in less than one lap even on the wider radar...

Either you are going to argue that temperate at the track has an effect, or it is wind.
Everytime you leave and re-enter any event (not retry/restart) you are having different conditions and this has an effect on your laptimes.
There is a simplified way to prove this: Route X, Porsche Taycan, simply going full throttle.
No matter how often you restart/retry, your checkpoint time will be identical.
No matter how often you leave and re-enter, your checkpoint time will be a different one.
Though without knowing the absolute physics that aero has on the car in terms of minuscule better or worse acceleration because of different downforce (sometimes a bit of balast added makes a car better without any other change), and without any option to control wind direction and speed, it is difficult to conclude from seeing the indicator whether or not this will have a positive or negative effect on your time.
