Weather File (WET)

This Weather File is a text based definition of different conditions which will happen by default at the track. It also contains information about how real road should progress by default through a race weekend, as well as now the ability to configure "Atmospherics" at the venue too.

This file is is stored in the same layout directory as the GDB, SCN and AIW files. It must have the same filename as these.

The file can be opened and modified in any text editor.

When you configure a session in game, it saves a wet file in your setup folder for that track, so that it can remember your current settings.

\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\ModDev\UserData\player\Settings\Trackname

(Atmospherics are now saved to Game Database File (GDB) file)

Weather Info

The first part of this section allows us to configure which real road profile is used by default in different sessions. We should set this up so they progress from Light, Medium and Heavy through out the different sessions as the track would typically grip in. See Real Road Files (RRBIN) for more information.

Session Info

Finally we have Session Weather info for Practice, Qualifying and Race sessions. These configure cloud coverage, temperature and more. Not all settings are used at this time.

It is not necessary to modify this section by hand. Just configure the weather in game for all 3 sessions and load the session. The wet file will be written out the the settings folder for this track.
