Hi there.

Tonight I held my weekly race session with my club, and the 20 or so people in the lobby had a great time.

However, as the host I noticed that setting race weather to Variable brought up an unusually high amount of wet starting conditions, close to 100% whenever I loaded up a new track. I “rolled” for conditions about 20 times tonight, and almost all started wet. Clear skies were never presented either.

While I do prefer the potential for races to go from wet to dry or dry to wet, the starting conditions could do with some more… variability.

I’m reporting this here as I feel it’s a bug rather than a design choice.

Logically there are about 8 versions of inclement weather and 1 version of clear weather.
without a weighted randomisation system you will be seeing an awful lot of bad weather races with the default ‘random’ setting.
(if you are interested - this is the same reason why wires put into a box neatly always come out tangled)

If you look below the surface at virtually every part of this release it’s evident that it was rushed out in a partially finished state to be included in Xbox’s fall line-up and couldn’t be delayed in light of Xbox’s other garbage releases.

That’s my guess too, that Random/Variable has no weighting.

I’ve noticed this in freeplay races too. Variable weather will always involve wet tires, either at the start or end of the race.

I also noticed that in races of 10 laps the weather will always, always suddenly change at the start of lap 5. Never at random times.

When setting an endurance race with variable weather, the games always set a rainy race at the beginning. I have tried a hundred times and I always get the same problem. It is a bit disappointing that one can’t race with alternating sunny or cloudy weather.

I confirm this. Variable weather should provide random weathers.
Please fix this.
