today i watched the worst crazy weather offline race since I had played IGPmanager.
rain is over 3mm before the race so I made strategy I M M M with Wet over 3mm and I after 0 laps.
qualify with W. (correct)
Wet tyre on grid. (correct)
During race, rain decreased from 3,4mm to 2,2mm before rain stop....so my race was ruined, in fact after first pit stop my drivers put M and put I only when rain stopped.
Now, I have never seen water level decrease so much during a race... if this is only a bug, it's a pity but I can understand;
if this will be still possible in future, I think this is a moment to change advanced strategy.
A good solution could be "chose" water level for Dry, water lever for I and water level for W.
please don't answer me with "this game is for live and not for offline".

Hey Simone,
Thanks for reaching out for your issue. Will have a look at it and will let you know after the investigation.

Hey Simone,
We didn’t get any answer from the weather provider apart from the usual automatic response mail.

Hey Simone
Apologies I missed this post.
So with the water level dropping, did the rain change from "rain" to "light rain" ?
This would explain the water level dropping from 3.4mm to 2.2mm without the rain stopping.
On the Home Screen Light rain has a single rain drop while rain has multiple.
But in the race viewer the display is different.
Light Rain = Cloud with black interior, Multiple rain drops
Rain = Cloud with white interior fill. Multiple rain drops
Kind Regards
Red

So now, i have to understand that this is possible and thisi is not a bug. Is right?
Red Craigie medal 5246 Super Mod 1 year 120 days ago
Yes I believe it’s possible. I’m still working it out but I believe it each of the 3 intensities of rain has a maximum limit.
Light rain: 1.5mm (approx)
Rain: 4.0 mm
Storm: 5.0mm
So if it drops from one type of rain to another the water level will start to reduce despite rain still falling.

In this way, i think it is better re-think advanced strategy in a different way. Isn't it?
Red Craigie medal 5246 Super Mod 1 year 120 days ago
I'm of a similar mind yes, some tweaks to advanced strategy could be beneficial. I haven't got a clear picture personally on how It could be setup in reasonable way yet.

I think that a good way is
1) chose interval for each tyre (example 0-1mm Dry, 1-3mm I, 3-5W,
2) chose the moment of changing between :a) at programmed pit stop
B) in the right moment of level change
