I can totally picture Lagoon having tracks with a rain storm weather, with lot's of raining and strong wind, Valley with a fog weather, and among others, can we please have this NADEO? Instead of it being sunny all the time?

I'll answer like Nadeo employee: You can do that with a mod :thumbsup: .

Now I'll answer as myself: For Nadeo is really hard to add just more moods because it takes up to 10 minutes of hard work. And they can make nitro flames on cars, road reflections but adding falling rain drops texture around the car and dark environment mood is to hard. (But moving birds, stadium turbine rotors and whirlwinds were ez pz.)

It could be better to have dynamic Mood like its going from Day to Sunset or from Sunset to Night in a special period of time.

and yes i also agree of Filipe1020 for Weather mood because its more varied for trackmaniacs. But as domino54 said it could be very difficult to create weather and dynamic moods cause the variables has constant settings.

Sure you can do that with a mod, but it's simply just an animated layer above the screen which simulates a very shitty rain and it looks bad imo.

The weather could be chosen like you choose the mood, first you choose which mood you want (sunrise, night, day, whatever) and then it shows what kind of weather would you like to choose.

Idd haha

Anyways a mood is not the same as having full weather effects.
Imagine trees moving in the direction of the wind
Imagine that rain effect litterally every other racing game has where u can see the drops on your screen.
Imagine limited visibility because of heavy fog/rain
Imagine having less grip with your car because the surface is wet
--> You'll need to relearn the game
--> Maps can have 2 best times : Normal vs Wet ( less grip )
Imagine...

A mood is simply too limited to recreate these beautiful and gamechanging possibilities so I'm giving a big +1 to this idea. It changes the game completely ( in a positive way ) :thumbsup:

Let's get together and ask NADEO to make this happen because seriously, this could be a great feature and a game changer that TM2 and TMT would definitely go incredibly well with.

it's sad we even have to ask really, racing the same looking environment over and again gets really old, changing day and night helps but its not enough.

i want to see snow on stadium, not as a texture mod made by the community but the work of a professional

Yeah idd :) It would make one & the same environment feel complete and somehow different enough to play longer periods of time. But I guess it would be a lot of work :) But honestly? I'd wait a bit longer just for this.
