The development team behind iRacing, the subscription-based racing simulation PC game, has announced a major milestone: the upcoming addition of dynamic rain. The feature will be a part of the new Tempest weather system, which is slated to be added to the game next month. The developers stressed this is not the usual rain that might be found in other racing games. Keeping with the ultra-realism theme of iRacing, it's a 'true-to-life dynamic simulation of the multitude of physical and environmental factors experienced in racing in the rain, and how water interacts with both the racetrack and the tires of […]
