Hi,
Why does the live weather never seem to correspond with the 4 day forcast and why is the weather so irratic in the last 20 mins prior to the race? I thought the weather was taken from real life readings? What weather system readings does the game use? Thanks
We will be starting a development project soon to control the weather of planet earth. Just kidding, but we are considering making our own weather system which is more predictable in the long term, if there is enough demand.
Weather not corresponding with the forecast seems pretty realistic to me. :)
What many people forget though, the percentages given in a forecast are the chance that somewhere during the day or period given, some rain may fall. It doesn't mean that it will rain for that percentage of time. Although a higher percentage does seem to be more likely to give rain, it is no guarantee for it.
It does seem to change prior to the race though sometimes, that I did notice over the time I've been racing here.
Ye the weather forcasters must be the only people in the world that mess there job up every day and still dont get sacked lol. Thanks jack Iv had a look at that site and can see where yous are getting it now. Does seem strange the sudden change prior to race thing, youd think it would be quite consistant with having the real life data.
