    sorry maybe i was not clear enough...i didn't say i'm not addicted to the game and that i don't like it...i like it very much indeed. I have just said that rain and night would be a great addiction, meaning those would be a plus value to a very beautifull game

    yepp, definitely... but with the current engine it could be a bit more difficult. Weather-Effects might be possible but are not implemented. Night-racing is not possible, as there is only one light-source (the sun) in the engine

    Didn't I read somewhere that they're planning to move to the Unreal engine which WOULD allow day/night and weather effects? Or am I making that up?

    looking at the real world and how racing has changed , and also looking at the past in sim racing , rain is fairly pointless in sim racing , smaller grids and people quitting in the race , in real life running around behind a saftey car .....
    it has been covered a few times , you just need to dig in the forums a little ; so i wont go any further in details concerning the unreal engine

    tomorrow i'll race a 3h endurance day to night with rain probablity at 99%. you are speaking about casual players and you are right, but imho a game do the best if offers options to all the players.

    rfactor do it, pcars do it, assetto corsa is moved to it, iracing is moving to it. i think both rain and night are mandatory not pointless.
    or we must consider all the competitors mad. :D

    Technically doing night "nice enough" is easier than rain and imo also what probably most people would enjoy (it rains a lot here last thing I want is that in a game).

    Frankly if r3e had dynamic daytime transitions and just a few different (dry) weather moods per track (cloudy etc.) it would help a lot to literally put your favorite tracks in a new light.

    It took some time and patience from fans and devs alike but eventually we've got most of what we wished for - so far and step by step. So I don't see any reason why RRE won't implement such features while some of its competitors already have it ? Life goes on, game development too ;)
