Weather/Lighting Conditions options
In event menus, track conditions are indicated by a sunny, moon, or rain cloud icon to indicate Day, Night, or Rain scenario. Scenario options vary by Environment. For instance, Yas Marina doesn’t see rain in the real world so there’s no rain scenario in the game. Free Play Advanced Rules options for Rain scenarios allow setting the Start, Mid-Race, and End Race scenarios and probabilities for weather with the following options: Partly Cloudy, Overcast, Cloudy, Looming Clouds, Thunderclouds, Lightning Clouds, Ground Fog, Thin Fog, Dense Fog, Summer Drizzle, Drizzle, Light Rain, Moderate Rain, Heavy Rain, Rain Thunder, and Rain Lightning. From the gamescom announcements on Xbox Wire and in the Week in Review on August 18:
