Wet to dry setups
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello to all,
I had a 30% offline race with TC on, tire simulation disabled, short w/e. It had been pouring rain for Practice and Qually. At Race time the rain was no more, so I went with Options, and changed car to my DRY setup, a lot different than my WET.
Both setups work great for the weather they are designed for.
The engineer told me to come in for the required tire change to Prime around the 6th lap, but I was looking at the skies and felt I should stay out a while longer in case it started raining, I could select wets and have a two pit stop race instead of three(having to swith off the Primes and onto Wets)
Well, it did start pouring around the 9th lap, so I came in for my first and most likely last pit stop, to change to WETS.
The problem is ......that I was still on the DRY car setup and it was horrible, sliding all around. I quickly lost my second place position to almost last!
There is no way to change car setup, correct? So what to do? I mean it's like running primes in the rain....useless. What am I missing?
If it starts pouring and you have a dry setup on the car, your done. The AI does not suffer, their cars magically change setups rain or shine.
I have been "away" from the game for quite a while.
Am I missing something? Thank you.
