The fact that all the info on how wet the track is, is hidden away unless you hit ` in the chat for a start is a joke.
Everyone in Rob's league on 2D even would never have known about all this info unless Rob told us about it, but instead he decided that keeping all this to himself would just make the game pointlessly boring (which I'm almost certain it would be for those without this info having 4 back to back wet race and instead of doing well their being lapped numerous times).
This kind of track info needs to be made very clear because in it's curretn form, all you get is a picture and humidity in the setup screen. Then when in the race, all you get is a picture from the weather station facility showing a vague picture, temp and wind stats. TBH next to pointless unless it does go from wet to dry or vice versa, but in a fully wet race, pointless. Especially considering the monsoon Europe seems to be having every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday it seems.
Then the fact that, I got to my race late because I forgot that the clocks went back and it would affect iGP. So I join my race 40mins late to find my cars automatically on Inters. This hasn't got to do with my advanced setup, they are running around on the game's shit ass default setup, default advanced setup, default fuel and trye strategy.
Which was Sots despite requiring Full Wets for quali, then starting the race on useless Inters. But then pitting for Softs to only then re-pit for useless Inters again had I not shown up.
Now I know I messed up by being late and default setups shouldn't be race winning setups, but to be a lap down in under 10 laps is just retarded.
Here's another way for you to see that info, depending on your Operating system, go into
Control Panel and click on
Java. Go to
Advanced and select
Show Console under
Java Console.
This game is all about self learning experience, nobody is going to tell you how to win, otherwise they won't win themselves, that would be like, "Hey, I'll just put 1 litre of fuel into my car for this lap so you can all finish ahead of me."
The Java console is used for finding bugs in the game for the advanced players to use, not to discriminate people, but you will find there are quite alot of hardcore managers on this game in the upper leagues who will use this feature to help improve their race. You are playing at an Intermediate level, wanting the game to be easier so you can reach the top end of the ranking system. If we can cope buddy, so can you. We all have two hands, two feet and a brain, amoung many other things, surprisingly some people don't use their brains or are just not interested, you are though but you seem to be willing to only do half the job.

Not reading all this stuff but surely his point is what if it goes from dry to light rain? Full wets wouldnt be the suitable tyre, but its the only tyre available to switch to in advanced mode.
All Tires can be found under the Advanced Mode settings, each Tire in that area has a drop down menu.
