I really hope the visibility through the spray behind the cars isn't affected by the graphics settings for the sake of everyone having a consistent experience.

@robcampbell6099 3 ай бұрын

good point

@braydenjones603 3 ай бұрын

I imagine the delays have been at least due to them working on optimization, for the reasons you mention. And I play in VR on a Quest 2, so I'm definitely concerned.

@splashotb 3 ай бұрын

what he's saying has nothing to do with optimization, he's trying to say that he hopes that there isn't a way to reduce the amount of spray you see compared to what others see as that wouldn't keep it consistent for everyone and would give an advantage@@braydenjones603

@danielgutzz 3 ай бұрын

This is a great point. Gotta play on low settings to have not spray lol. Hopefully is not the case.

@regibson23 3 ай бұрын

Yeah that's how it was in rf2. You could turn rain graphics down and not have any spray and didn't even have to use the windshield wipers. It was a total cheat.

@Wolfe_No.13 3 ай бұрын

People will complain a lot about the concern for visibility but its the most accurate thing along with the puddling, and the way the car will slip but is super recoverable. My first practice and quali in my career was in the wet at Road Atlanta, and was the most terrifying thing to do. iRacing is giving that same impression of running in the wet here, and I love every bit of it.

it will pretty awesome to get videos about rain driving from your experience! Much of us, simracers, have no idea how the car behaves in reality and now the iRacing is almost doing a 1:1 experience for this conditions, your tip and advices would be mega!

💯💯 it’s tough too because you can’t practice in the wet whenever you want to. I was lucky and got to do two 24 kart races where it rained and learned a lot that way.

@quantametric 3 ай бұрын

I'm not really a subscriber to the idea that if one person who does it professionally likes it then it must be good. I'm not saying Daniel is, but all sorts of professionals can be deeply deluded, and this approach to thinking really deletes peoples capacity to assess something critically with keen observation and situational awareness. This kind of thinking is how mass delusion happens, as is the nature of mob mentality.

@tommytenzo 3 ай бұрын

@@quantametricThen how do you suggest for us to gather this information with no access to the car in real life? As in this case Daniel drives this car for a living.

@quantametric 3 ай бұрын

@@tommytenzoSolutions to reality aren't that easy... For me I compare it to the physics of my personal car because I'm trying to create a practice template for something that is road relatable. If you want strictly high end race car insight you could rent one out for yourself, but it's not cheap. I just think only you can know as an individual what's most accurate to real world. The reality is that it's extremely expensive to rent these cars and so I'm not going to blindly trust someone who might potentially only have their job because they happen to have a lot of money... Daniel seems ok but the reality is that usually a huge lack of experience and insight comes with being trust fund level of rich from an early age. Just because someone does something for a job does not mean they are any good at it.

My only point of reference for wet weather racing is having competed in kart races in the rain when I was younger, but I couldn't believe how realistic this was. The aquaplaning, how it understeers and oversteers, the curbs, puddles, and especially spray, all of it just immediately felt familiar and brought me back to my karting days :D I've played so many sims' wet weather modes and nothing has ever come close to recreating that real life experience until now. Hats off to the iRacing team, it's honestly a remarkable feat of engineering.

@derekbrunette222 3 ай бұрын

Learn about the wet line and things you can do in order to find the limit without taking too many risks. Since the rain in iracing is modeled very dynamically, you'll have to adjust to the track on a lap-by-lap (or even sector by sector in tracks like the nurb). The rest will come down to practice in shitty weather

Hey Daniel, great perspective here. Have you tried Ams2 since the more recent 1.5.5 updates where they claim to have a similar weather system? It seems to also force you to drive the wet line and avoid rubber/puddles to go fastest. If so, is this significantly better than that? I'd be curious of your thoughts on AMS2's updated rain physics if you haven't given it a try. Thanks!

I was surprised that the car/road feel was actually really good especially with dbox in iracing. I'll have to try the rain weather later sometime.
