How do you turn off rain physics while raining?

[twix bar]

I find rain physics extremely unrealistic due to the asphalt acting like black ice causing my truck to have a delay when braking, and acting really slippery in corners. So if there would be a way to have the physics as if it wasn't raining but with rain on?

Unrealistic? I don't think so, wet road surface has huge impact on braking distance, even moreso when your weight is 40t.

However, tyres make a huge difference, choose those with best wet grip (braking) rating if you are playing ETS2.

If you don't own eiter Michelin or Goodyear DLC  which both offer excellent choices, you can pick "Elemental" tyres which are the best in the base game.

In ATS all the tyres seem equal, they don't have this label system in USA, but they all seem to perform better than basic "Trailmaster" tyres in ETS2.

 

Speeding and late braking should be avoided. With gradual and early braking you can even use retarder or egine brake without problems.

 

As far as I know you can't alter rain physics without modding the game, but you can always put rain probability slider all the way left in game options - no more rain.

If the console is open in-game, you can close it by typing g_set_weather 0 as a code. However, if it is open from the settings in the game, it can become active again in the game, regardless of whether it is open.

Oh yeah, that could make a difference I didn't really pay attention to before. About the physics; the brakes just seem a tad too unrealistic for me. Braking with rain still feels like braking on ice which I don't think is realistic, so I find myself increasing the brake intensity to a more higher level. Maybe that could be because of lack of ABS simulation, but who really knows. Thanks for your answer though
