Weather customisation

I think as another customisation option the weather could be changed to use predefined random presets rather than relying on current weather.

~ coded, so eventually you could add radar and spotters that feedback updates.
~ each track could have countless presets and would just pick one from that selection (I’m thinking hundreds)
~ gold tiers could add their own presets to the random pile, setting temperature, rain and wind (not sure if wind is even used in iGP? If not, count that as another suggestion!) It would need restrictions on generation so the level didn’t change suddenly but fluidly over time.
~ gold tiers can share and select other peoples presets

What could be better than real life weather?  Predefined weather patterns could be cracked through detailed record keeping.  Also, the last thing this game needs is more customisation as this is the main cause of the game’s decline.  Personally, I ‘d scrap a lot of the powers host have.

Ok, but I disagree on both fronts. The games decline isn't due to customisations but a combination of other factors, and customisations is something that is being featured as a selling point for league boosts, so the more the better (Jack has literally said 'anything is possible' in another thread). Either I'm getting the wrong end of the stick, or that's literally open to suggestions!

And whilst relying on real-life weather does offer a greater variety of temperatures by having to race (unrealistically) throughout winter or at 'incorrect' times of day, making it programmable allows for the radar/spotters as I mentioned above which would be more realistic. And with 'unlimited' variations of presets, it would still be unpredictable.

Anyway, suggestions are to be discussed, thanks for the response.

Great idea, this is definitely possible but would require a simulator update as well. Technically, it's not the most difficult thing to implement. I'd likely structure it differently to your suggestion, but the general idea of custom weather is a feature we can add.
