This is complete cheating.. (please read)

So my forecast is for fluctuating probability of 35%-80% chance of rain from about lap 15 so theres a safety car.... drivers are 16th and 19th (Alfatauri) i pit the guy in 19th as is only one place and tires were soft only about 50% life left, the other i leave as it's all ready spitting and sure rain is coming. so i want to keep track position. .. so that happens i put one driver onto inters the other is set to change....and then there's a Red flag......on the screen it has the cars on the inters but on the rain display it reads. 0.91 (dampness/wetness) with that much water inters had to be the tire...so i confirm to restart both cars on inters...then to my horror on the grid the track is completely dry the forecast has completely changed and both my cars are on wrong tires BECAUSE OF BS INFO GIVEN BY GAME.... and i know my forecast is not 100% fair enough but it also would never be the case a team would fit inters to a car knowing the track was bone dry....just stupid and i feel the game did this on purpose.. the ai teams should make the occasional mistake anyway nevermind intentionally and completely fudging unfairly trying to screw you over.. ..this needs to change in the new game it ain't realistic in the slightest.

Don't forget the time moves on during red flag. Usually 20 mins so present forecast and conditions can change over that time. So it was a gamble on your part that didn't work. Man up and stop crying.

Thx for replying, and yes totally agree time is still passing during the red flag process and weather MAY be completely different on the restart that's fine and actually good logic by the game to take this into account..
But why the "intentional" False information?. when if i was physically there the mechanics the engineers the weather scientists meteorologists etc, we would know what the weather was, we would physically see it's not raining there;'s no humidity and that the near forecast was dry, yet the game indicates .91 wetness on the track, why else tell me this if not to deliberately trick the player to make the wrong decision?..can you explain this to me please?

When a yellow or red flag comes up immediatly pause and check weather conditions after some laps and/or after 20 minutes. That's the only way to be prepared in such situations. I of course agree that during red flag access to the weather window/tab forcast would make sense, no doubt. As long as it is not there, we have to improvise and just check it upfront before you are taken back to the "in box" screen.

thx for advice, but the snag (I believe?) is that the due to the time lapse of 20 min the weather on the restart could be completely different (and was) when i had this frustrating experience, so if i pause go to weather forecast and then look to see what the weather prediction is during the race 20 mins from whenever this happens, the issue is that actual weather will likely be nothing like this, What you suggest is basically what i tried to second guess, and it was also backed up by the moisture/wetness etc indicator that read 0,91, so naturally i fitted the inters ....i don't see how i'm getting around this?, or even how you are

thx
