Re: VRC Fun Run - Watkins Glen - Changing Weather

I agree with Tom & Matt. I thought the race went very well
with just enough unpredictability to keep you guessing on when
to pit. The rain stopped fairly early but the track stayed damp
for longer than I had experienced on "test days". I probably
pitted a few laps too early or maybe it would have been wiser to
stay on wets for the whole race, but those decisions are part of
what kept it interesting.
Only glitch I saw was on the formation lap I had Gerry
warping in front of me for a second.
Brent, I've never run using the wet weather plugin but I
think rain on the windshield was not a problem with scripted
weather setup.

I didn't think i would make the race so i wasn't very well
prepared for the pit stop.
I too was surprised how long the wet condition stayed on the
track after the rain stopped
I was fumbling around with the pit controls I had mapped to my
wheel and that really slowed my pace for the lap or two before
my pit. I managed to get the tires changed over to S7 and as i
was leaving the pit box I immediately lost control and spun hard
in to the guard rail on the right of the pit out lane LOL
Reminded me of the GM executive the spun the Corvette pace car
at the Detroit CART race this past summer

Must still be a little too wet for dry tires I guess?
I really need to figure out how to use Voice Attack to get the
pit stop adjustments made rather than fumbling for buttons on my
wheel and trying to see the pit stop black box way off in my
lower right hand view in VR.
I had some warping too which reminds me, I just did a fresh
install of Win10 and RF2... what are the recommended network
settings in RF2?
The race was fun, the car was manageable in the wet.
Thanks to Simon for the server!
Grats to all who ran!

That was a lot of fun. I thought the track was going to dry
faster but I could still see a substantial water spray before
going to the pits and I decided to stay on wet tires. That was
the right decision.
This was a good test and I am really happy with the improvements
S397 has done to the rain feature of rF2. My FPS were very
stable and did not suffer any stuttering or freezes. I can say
that we should seriously consider having a race with changing
weather conditions.
